Day 30

I don't know why I'm counting days anymore when I'm totally screwing up the 6-week plan. I eat snacks and stuff, and eat more grains than I'm supposed to. Today I didn't eat any grains, though. I did snack, though.

For breakfast I added some strawberries and blueberries to my kermit the frog crazy creamy greenie smoothie from the other day, and those berries improved it BIG TIME. It was suddenly extremely yummy, when before I was just kinda taking little bites trying to enjoy it.

Lunch I made this Guacamole Goddess Dressing, and had it on a salad, with some thawed "mixed vegetables" and kidney beans. I think I'd like that dressing better as a dip, too, like Susan says in her blog post. But my salad was good.

We went to a cool Korean market last Saturday and I picked up some tofu on the cheap, that comes in cool looking packaging with neato Korean writing all over it. Can I read any of it? Of course not. Fortunately some stuff's written in English, so I knew this was silken, organic, non-gmo.


For dinner I made a stir-fry, basing the sauce and tofu marinade on this recipe.

Here's tofu, cookin in it's marinade.


Mmm...tofu and vegetables in a yummy sauce. Life is good.

Day 29

I keep eating too many grains.
Breakfast was some Creamy Greenie Smoothie. Couldn't eat it all. Lunch was a whole wheat pita stuffed with chickpeas, tomato, lettuce, avocado, and mustard. Dinner was Asian Vegetable Stir-Fry from Eat For Health. It was okay but we did not really like the sauce. We've made much better stir-fry sauces in the past. Then we had apple slices, and tortilla chips with guacamole. That was an indulgence of a late evening grain habit I must break.

I read this article which doesn't cite any sources, but if it's true, it explains a lot for me. I think at least some of these points are true. I need to stay away from at least some grains. I would like to learn whether sprouting them does anything to change some of those negative side-effects.
