Hope we all make it through the weekend!
If we don’t, at least I’ll die happy having gone to Atlanta’s Food & Wine Festival! It’s like foodie heaven up in here. 🙂
I’ll also die warm because it was already 80 degrees when I left for my run yesterday morning! Not that I’m complaining – I am OVER being cold all the time.
Stats:
- Distance: 5 miles
- Time: 42:03
- Pace: 8:41
It was an especially fun run since the Food & Wine Festival is in my neighborhood. I liked running around watching everything getting set up. So. Excited.

Following that fabulousness, I got my 20g of protein from my favorite Atlanta Farm Fresh Greek-style yogurt. Straight out of the container with my first peach of the season and some granola.
In the mail today I found a surprise: My free samples arrived from Bragg!
Hit their website to request your own. It takes about 6 weeks, but they do come.
I should have used them in my lunch, but I already had something tasty planned. Chili Nutty Tofu.
Added bonus: It is a repeat recipe! I struggle with making the same thing twice, but I’ve been craving nut butters like nobody’s business lately and my Chili Nutty Tofu was calling my name.
Not many edits to the recipe other than using my Spiced Almond Butter instead of PB. That turned out to be a finger lickin’ good move. And I turned it into a Chili Nutty Bowl.
I had extra chili nutty marinade, so I coated slices of zucchini and radishes to roast. I’ve never heard of roasted radishes before, but it was pretty good! Roasting took the “bite” out of the taste (in a good way).
The asparagus came from a farmer’s market – isn’t it the biggest you’ve ever seen?! And yes, it is purple. I coated it in lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic. Same for the cherry tomatoes.
The tofu and the asparagus went in the 400 degree oven on a foil-lined baking sheet for 10 mins. At that point, I tossed them and added the tomatoes, zucchini, and radishes to pan to bake another 10 mins.
Apparently I was a little eager to eat… I burned my finger tips trying to pick up the veggies to place on the bowl ‘o spinach. Whaaat?! I get excited about my veggies.

Food & Wine recap next week! Let me just say that it is so cool to have so much talent in one place. Some people go ga-ga over actors, others like rockstars… I like chefs.
What are you doing for the end of the world this weekend?
Who “does it” for you? Athletes? Actors? Chefs?
ohhh that tofu looks wonderful! I love recipe repeats, I am such a creature of habit sometimes! 😛
I am going to request those samples, I love Braggs products! 🙂
I would say some of each do it for me in their own special ways 😉
Haha yeah so much for the world ending ;p too funny.
I like to repeat recipes if they are as good as yours! Purple asparagus looks sooo cool! Does it taste different?!
I am super jealous of you! I would love to go to a wine and food festival. There is one in my area every year.. BUT i have never gone! You have convinced me to go!!
ANd that tofu looks yummy!
Mmm that tofu sounds so good! How fun to have the food and wine festival in your neighborhood! It sounds like you had a nice long run and deserve to do some taste testing 🙂
I ran 5 miles today too, but was no where near your time! You are a running superstar! And I just picked up some tofu – so your PB tofu may just be on the meal plan for the week!
are you a vegan?
I am not vegan, though when I’m at home I follow a typically vegetarian diet. When I’m out… let’s just say I’m a lover of all foods and will try anything! 🙂
