Jan 14 food

Breakfast:  my new small breakfast smoothie

4 hours later after getting home from exercise, a small apple and a carrot

Lunch:  mushroom stroganoff over a mixture of steamed sweet potato, beet, kale, broccoli and cauliflower ( a little of each).  This was really good.  The mushroom stroganoff is another Fuhrman recipe.  The reason I like the Fuhrman recipes is that they don't just take away ingredients from the unhealthy recipes.  If you take a normal vegan recipe and make it healthy according to Fuhrman's rules, you take out the salt and oil and refined sugar.  Well, you are often left with something bland.  But Fuhrman's recipes add great stuff into them, like carrot juice or ground nuts.  So for example, in this mushroom stroganoff, the ground up sesame seeds (or tahini) and lemon give it the sort of sour and meaty taste you get from the beef broth and sour cream in beef stroganoff.   It also has onion, garlic, lots of mushrooms, paprika, tarragon, and vegetable broth, in addition to the tahini and lemon.  It was great, and the stuff I put it on top of was great too.  love those sweet potatoes!
Dessert:  orange

Dinner:  repeat of lunch.  The recipe made four servings so I split it with housemate over lunch and dinner.
