So, let me start by saying that I've been out of town for 19 of the 30 days of August. I went to the Dominican Republic for work, I went on vacation with my sweetie's family, and I went to Michigan to witness my adorable nephew's first birthday party. That being said, our cupboards are a bit bare. When I came home tonight, Adam said he wasn't very hungry and just wanted a smoothie. So I threw together a quick dinner. He put some 5 minute rice on for me, and I popped an Okara Courage Burger in the toaster.
Okara is super cool. Adam explained how they make it while we were on a 60 mile bike ride to Keuka Lake earlier this month. Okara is actually a by-product of the soymilk process. It is the soy solids that are left over after getting the "milk" out of the beans. Pretty neat, huh? So they put the solids together to make these yummy, chick'n patty sort of thing, and I really love them. Adam is not a huge fan, but they are super easy to pop in the toaster (usually takes a couple of goes). So, being the carb-protein-sauce lover that I am, I crumbled up my Courage Burger and put it on top of the rice. Then I smothered it with some lovely, garlicky, salty teriyaki sauce. Yum! I also made a repeat salad from lunch and I brought home some sweets from our local vegan bakery. And I had a smoothie! Ha! I was hungry, what can I say.
