Mel’s Meals Day 9

Day nine put me to the test. I had a networking happy hour at Contigo. I’ve been wanting to check out the food there and get some great photos. Contigo is near the top of my blog bucket list. The location is lovely and they have a fabulous menu. I debated on tasting a couple things and doing a little write-up, but ultimately decided not to indulge. I will eventually get there again and do a full blog post. But yesterday I was a good girl who worked out extra hard so I could drink a couple Moscow Mules. Frankly, the company of other Austin writers was so good, there was no need to eat.

So what did I eat?

Southwest Chicken Frittata

Black Bean Vegan Burger

Creamy Chicken and Broccoli

Apple and Peanut Butter

Hummus and Veggies

This was the first time I had something I really didn’t like. Despite the fact that it came with a fluffy whole wheat bun and delicious vegan chipotle mayo, the black bean burger was just not for me. I love veggie burgers of all types, however this one was just too bean-y for my tastes. What’s cool with these meal plans is that you can trade three things out, if you like. Now that I’ve tasted a whole bunch of different things, I’ve developed some favorites. So if the black bean burger comes up again, I’ll switch it out for something I love.

That chicken and broccoli was money. The creaminess came from yogurt and lite coconut milk and the blend of spices gave it an exotic flavor. I happily ate it with chopsticks. So good!
