Rebecca: You inspired me to devote an entire post to that topic. Enjoy!
Erin: Thanks! Banana pancakes ARE awesome with PB. Actually, a few weeks ago I had cocoa banana pancakes with cashew butter. YUM!

This is an awesome blog! Those pancakes look delicious. You’re right, they’re like the most indulgent food around. I want to eat them slathered in PB.

I know exactly what you mean, days of chores go by so fast!

I actually like you eating schedule. I stay up late studying so, I like eating at night.

Would you mind giving me some specific examples of your 5pm snacks. It is always that snack that I am starving, but don't want to eat a full meal since dinner is coming. You mentioned that you eat nuts or nut spread at snack. Those are calorie dense foods. So when you are hungry do those fill you initially. I know in the long run fats keep you satisfied but when you are initially hungry is my problem becuase then you are just looking for volume and out come the carbs for me! So I would love to hear your suggestions that are less carb focused and more healthy. Do you ever do bars ie: lara bars, or prefer your own nut combos. Sorry for all the qs. You seem to have college eating down to a skill- something that's hard to do!

Andrea/CaretoEat: Whole Foods is a great resource for recipes–love them! Anyway, my first name is Caroline–thanks!
Andrea: Sunbutter is really creamy (provided that you don’t buy the crunchy variety!). I love it as an oatmeal topper, plus it provides lots of nutrients that other nut butters don’t have.
SweetPotato: Yay! Glad you liked the post.
Cecilia: I don’t really have a scientific method for preparing tempeh, as I don’t have as much experience with it as I do with tofu. I like to pan-fry it (with spices, garlic, etc.) so as to avoid the mushiness issue though.
Shelby: At first I thought it was an odd combination, but when I actually tried it, it was fabulous!! Love the sweet apples and agave mustard with the savory tempeh.

Olalala, adding spinach into smoothie is definitely a GREAT idea!! Kudos to you and Veggiegirl for it!

Oh btw, just a question about tempeh… when you cook it, how do you know when is it done/cooked through?? I cooked up some yesterday – the texture was like mushy… eek! it doesn’t taste that great Ne tips to share??
