Well I must say I have had more fruit and vegetables in the past 3 days than I've had in the past 2 months, especially at breakfast and lunch! I pretty much always cooked green beans or some veggie for dinner or had a salad, but they have escaped my plate the rest of the day :-) Of course preparing breakfast at 9:30 or 10 a.m. is a lot easier for me than at 7 a.m.!
I started off the day with a variation of the Smoothie I listed yesterday. Kids will even like these - they taste great! Be creative and use fruits that you have or look up some recipes and try them. You can find the benefits of each fruit/vegetable and gear it to your needs. If you are low on energy, try an energizing smoothie!
I used:
3 large fresh kale leaves
a handful of organic baby romaine
1/2 c. fresh raspberries
1 c. watermelon
1/2 banana ( I ate the other 1/2)
a few large spoonfuls of Greek Yogurt
Although the recipe said you didn't need to add water with watermelon I added 4 ice cubes to make it a little thicker.
I also had 2 slices of 'When Pigs Fly' New York Rye bread toasted with butter and Raspberry jam. I canNOT eat dry toast so I'll either eat if the way i like it or not at all.
I'm cooking up some hardboiled eggs. I only use cage-free. I truly believe that the energy of the food is transferred to us and if I eat chicken or eggs from caged chickens I swear that I get agitated and that it's transferred from the horrible life they have. Same with cattle that are slaughtered in an inhumane way.
Anyway the way to cook perfect hardboiled eggs is:
Put the eggs in a pot large enough to hold them and cover with water. Make sure the pot is large enough to have an inch or two above the water. Cover and bring to a boil. When they come to a boil, remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain the water and keep rinsing with cold water to stop the edges from cooking any further. I just put the pan in the sink and let the water run. Once the eggs are cool, store them in the refrigerator and run under cold water to peel when you want to eat them. Notice the color of the yolk compared to chicken that are caged and don't get sunshine. Delicious - I just HAD to have one. Now you have eggs ready for breakfast, a snack, or to slice and put in a salad!
I cooked up some Garlic & Cheese sausages and some hot Italian sausages on the grill tonight. Then I sautéed some frozen green, yellow, red peppers and white onions for the sausages. A little corn on the cob and voila - an easy dinner with lots of leftovers since I was the only one who was hungry!
