Emily’s Green Monster Smoothie
When you make a Green Monster Smoothie, don’t bother with measurements. Just go for it. My sister-in-law said that I should open my own Green Monster Smoothie bar at our local Farmer’s Market. I think it’s a brilliant idea! Maybe this Spring? *** My $20 Oster blender works just fine for me! You don’t need...
Humus Redux
UPDATED as of August 5, 2011: Here is my most recent update for super quick hummus in a blender (if you don’t have a food processor to make the thicker hummus, you’ll need to settle for slightly more runny hummus so your blender can blend it, but it is still delicious!) QUICK HUMMUS IN A...
Dinner on a Typical Day, and Dessert TOO!
DINNER: Dinner includes another humongous salad. Leafy greens have to become the main dish at these meal times. If I make vegan lasagna (from the Fat Free Vegan website) it becomes the side-dish. You eat the salad first, stuff yourself with it. Then you only have room for a small amount of the less nutrient-dense...
Homemade Salad Dressings: No fat, low salt, low sugar
When you eat a lot of HUGE leafy green salads every. single. day. you feel so healthy and you fuel your body with super cancer fighting phytochemicals (nutrients only found in plants) AND you build your prevention against heart disease. It. Feels. Great. Does. It. Bug. You. When. I. Type. Like. This? Too. Bad. Cancer....
The Great Watermelon Icy
This is my other go-to indulgence. It’s a good thing watermelons are in season. This also happens to be a great recipe if your watermelon ends up being kind of soft, mushy, mealy. I hate it when that happens. Even though it might be sweet, if the texture is mushy then no-thanks, I’ll pass. But...
Two Treats that Keep Me On the Wagon!
The problem for someone like me (and Joe, I would add) trying to do a healthy eating plan such as “Eat to Live” is that we are dessert people! No, we’re not “dessert, people!” Dessert-people. The hardest part of this plan for me has been the committment to not eat typical desserts which are high...
Lunch on a Typical Day
Lunch: Lunch is simple. Think: big! green! leafy! Basically lunch should be a HUGE amount of leafy greens in a salad. Plus some other yummy stuff, but salad is the main event. For convenience I like the spring-mix with spinach salads from the store that are ready to eat, but you can save a lot...
Breakfast and Snack on a Typical Day
I brought a smoothie to Joe-in-bed. Joe-in-bed is very cute, you should get one. He said, "Why are you so happy today?" I think it is just because I feel so good!
July 4th, How Do We Party?
Our friends are having a BBQ Potluck, yippy! Wait! What will we do? We’ll be surrounded! Before we decided to do this whole big healthy eating kick, Joe and I already talked about this. We hoped our friends would still invite us over and not be scared or worried about hosting us. We certainly do...
Cheats, Eats, Sleeps, Withdrawal: A Review of the First 3 Days
Today we begin our 4th day on this VegiCarni eating thang. Curious about how its been going so far? Here is the low down… Cheats: I’ve sneaked chocochips. Guilty. Got rid of those last night though, and consequently (I think) have suffered from a nasty headache a few hours after the 2 times I cheated....
