We had a busy day today, mostly housekeeping and reorganizing the house before the new year really takes off.  I experimented with a vegan chili recipe in the slow cooker for dinner, and it was good, if not great.

Lunch ended up being a bit of a challenge.  I'd planned on reheating some soup with sprouted grain toast on the side, but when I discovered that the soup was no more, I had to improvise.  We ended up with natural peanut butter and sliced bananas on toast -- not perfect, but vegan and free of refined sugars.

This was a good reminder to stock up on some healthy snack items that can easily be thrown together for a quick lunch or a small meal.  Cut veggies, salad greens, and some emergency cans of soup are never a bad idea to have kicking around the kitchen.
