Breakfast: It’s so good to be home, and bring out the Breakfast Oat Bar where we add the toppings we want to our Rolled Oats. I went with Soaked Chia Seeds, Apples, Bananas and Almond Yogurt. Gary’s had Apples, Bananas, Flax Seeds, Walnut and Soy Milk. I poured myself a glass of cold-brewed Jasmine Tea and dumped the vitamin D powder along with Dr. Fuhrman’s Immune Biotect which made it a beautiful purple color from the concentrated berry powder.
Lunch: We’ve been back home for just a few days and it’s good to get back into the routine. I soaked some Split Peas and later cooked them into a soup, with garlic, shallots and mix of spices – onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, chipotle powder, garam masala, celery seeds and anise seeds. I love taking a bowl over to our herb and spice collection and taking a teaspoon or 1/2 teaspoon of one spice or another and then adding it to whatever I am making. I also cooked a pot of dried mushrooms, from Fungus Amongus, their Pacific Northwest mix. I will be enjoying these all week. I add them to whatever dish I want, since Gary doesn’t eat them. Last but not least I cooked a pot of Red Rice, Black Rice, Millet and Farro. I usually cook them all separately but not today. It came out fine and was a lot easier this way.
Daily Green Juice: Kale, Celery, Carrots, Lemon
Dinner: Gary made the evening Kale Salad with Avocado and Tahini Dressing, with the cooked grain mix we had for lunch.
Evening: The perfect late night treat when you want something sweet is the banana. It’s got melatonin in it to help get you ready to sleep.
