breakfast
homemade pancakes (no mixes here) with blueberries and raspberries, local maple syrup. A lot of people don't realize how easy it is to make pancakes from scratch, without using a mix- here is a recipe from Vegan Planet:
1 1/2 c. whole wheat pastry flour (or unbleached all-purpose flour)
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
2 T ground flaxseeds
1/4 c. water
1 1/2 c. plain light soymilk
1 t. pure vanilla extract
1 T agave nectar (or may substitute 2 T sugar added to dry ingredients)
1 c. fresh blueberries

Directions

Preheat griddle to medium heat. Mix flour, baking powder, & salt together. In a blender, mix water & ground flaxseeds until thick (approx. 30 seconds). Add remaining wet ingredients & blend until smooth. Gently stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just moist. Fold in the berries. Pour approx. 1/4 c. of pancake batter for ea. pancake onto the griddle. Cook approx. 2 minutes on ea. side. Serve w/ pure maple syrup.

lunch
This was a hodge podge lunch, we were working outside, and we came in and just grabbed what we felt like eating. Nate's famous macaroni salad, (you know it's warm outside!) pumpernickel bagel with White Chocolate peanut butter, rice crackers and Sabra hummus, my favorite hummus in the world!!

dinner
Our neighbors treated us to a cookout! White rice topped with an easy peasy roasted vegetables dish. They wrapped leeks, peppers, portobello mushrooms, asparagus and onions in tin foil, and covered them with oils, spices, garlic and lemon juice, then grilled until sizzling! We put that over our rice, plenty of left overs, delcious!
