Today was a total breeze. Maybe this is just the honeymoon phase, but I have no cravings for any junk or anything cooked for that matter.
For breakfast we had Bob’s Red Mill Old Country Style Muesli. We soaked it in almond milk for 10 minutes and topped with fresh bananas, raisins & cinnamon. It was a hit with all the kids and very filling.
Lunch was this amazing avocado / pico mix that we wrapped in lettuce. Another winner.
Before I left for work I blended a smoothie for the kids to have a little later. It was a typical ‘kitchen sink’ mix that turned out quite tasty.
After work, I made some no-bake, raw energy bar thingys. They are still in the freezer but I really think they are going to be great. I need fast things for the kids when we are on the go.
This evening, Ben and I grabbed some things at Costco. Looks like we might be heading there 2 to 3 times per week instead of once every 2 weeks. Twist my arm. I love fresh food all over the counters; the colors and variety, makes me smile. God is creative.
We managed to make almond butter in the blender. This is a cost saver and flavor enhancer. I’m so pleased we were able to buy a Blendtec last fall. Little did we know what God would have planned for us and that blender.
Now garbanzo beans are soaking for hummus tomorrow. YUM! No formal dinner tonight. Everyone has been grazing on fruit and nuts. I’m loving this! I hope it doesn’t get old.
