Journal:
Today was another exciting morning. I am honestly LOVING the electric orange juicer that my husband bought me. Today I made some more orange juice and I enjoyed every last drop.
Now, today I was travelling with my housemates to go to church. It was a special history weekend at our church, plus we were having a ceremony to say good-bye to our beloved members and school staff who will be leaving the country to follow God’s leading. It was a sad day, yet also a day of rejoicing. But because I didn’t know if my housemates were going to be staying for the potluck or not, I packed a bag with an apple and bananas just incase. Turns out we didn’t stay for the food, but I was prepared regardless.
After we got home, I munched on three bananas as a snack or mini-lunch. It is so much easier to drink bananas in a smoothie than it is to eat them as a fruit. They are so much more filling.
Around supper time, I went out to make a guacamole-inspired dip again and chopped up some mushrooms and a red pepper to use as dipping tools. In the “guac”, I used one avocado, the juice of half a lemon, one stalk of green onion, a Roma tomato, and one stalk of celery.
Now, believe it or not, I actually ate all those veggies with the dip and still had dip leftover! I’m really not sure how that happened… so I had to get creative and think of what I would do with the rest of the dip. After awhile, it hit me: I have a Veggetti type device and I have English cucumbers. I made coodles and used the rest of the dip as the sauce! Brilliant! First time I’ve made them and I will definitely be making them again!
Then, because I have been eating a lot of salad ingredients but haven’t actually had my Romaine heart for the day, I made myself a little salad that had the Romaine heart chopped up, a Roma tomato chopped up, and some more spiralized cucumber. The dressing was made from a Keitt mango, some fresh basil, two Roma tomatoes, and a Valencia orange. It wasn’t my favourite dressing, but it wasn’t bad.
And that pretty much sums up my day. It was another day of good eating and I went to bed feeling full.
