Naan Bread, Cuz Carbs.
Naan bread anyone?
I could literally eat carbs all day long. That is one of the best parts about going plant-based–unabashed carb fests every single fucking day. Paleo, shmaleo and Atkins can kiss my @$$. I haven’t gained any fat since coming home to rice and potatoes (in fact, I’ve actually lost 1% of body fat since going vegan!), and so my affections for carbs remain unflagging.
The other night, I decided to make some curry with the veggies I had around the house. And it seemed sort of offensive to make curry without naan bread. And more offensive still would be buying said naan bread. So I made my own and the results were out-fucking-standing. I think I’m going to spread some almond butter and bananas on it this morning for breakfast. YUP
