Day 13

Breakfast: Smoothie with spring greens, banana, pineapple, blueberries, strawberries, almond milk, water, flaxseed, hemp seeds.

Lunch: Leftover Harira, Veggie Patty on a Sandwich Thin with mustard and lettuce.

Dinner: Tofu and Broccoli with Pineapple Sauce, Balsamic-Glazed Chickpeas and Mustard Greens, leftover Carrot Orange Salad.


So I figured we didn't need another picture of my smoothie. It looked like the others. It was pretty and tasted really good.

I think Harira is even better as leftovers than freshly stewed. The Sandwich Thin was my serving of starch for the day.

Levi gave the Tofu and Broccoli with Pineapple Sauce 4 stars. I give it 5. Loved it. But I love tofu and broccoli and pineapple anyway. And this was very simple to make. Levi and the kids had it over brown rice. I had it as-is because I'd already consumed my starch for the day, but I didn't think, "Aw, I wish I could have rice." This was great as it was.


And I made the mustard greens dish because I had bought these mustard greens about a week ago when the store was out of kale, and had put some in a smoothie and hated it. I wanted to give the rest of the mustard greens another chance with me, and I didn't want them to go to waste. So I made this dish and I am SO GLAD I did. It was very addictingly good. I give it 5 stars and will definitely make it again. Nobody else had any, which is just as well. I went heavy on the chickpeas and ended up having leftover chickpeas but no leftover mustard greens. I've got some kale, though, in the fridge, that I'll cook the same way and have with the rest of the chickpeas tomorrow or the next day. Yeah! Mustard greens are cool after all!

I think I cooked the mustard greens too long. I had a kid asking me to snap the snap on his pants, and another asking me to write her name on her water bottle and cut the tag off something we bought earlier today, and the oven beeping for me to take the cover off the baking tofu, so I'm not a slacker. ;-D

Good day. I think one thing I need to work on is not eating too much at dinner. I tend to eat until I'm stuffed, and I should stop when I'm just plain full, not stuffed. I also totally didn't eat a raw salad today. I had raw greens in my smoothie, but not enough of them, really. I need new salad ideas. Overall things are going great, I'm feeling invincible.
