Mar. 7


I was out doing manual labor until 2 pm.  Brought a lunch of 2 essene buds, an apple, banana, carrots and celery.  snacked on some fruit salad (strawberries, cantaloupe, grapes etc.) that someone else brought.   Then when I got home I had a baked sweet potato ready (cooked by housemate) and a half cup of frozen peas for dessert.  I love frozen peas right out of the bag.  It is a great snack/dessert.

Dinner:  big easy salad.  snacked on celery, carrots and yesterday's dip while making it.  The dip is still delicious.  had an orange for dessert.   If you've followed my blog for a long time (who would do that?), you might notice that I change my favorite salad about once a month.  I invent a new one and it is my all-time favorite and I eat it for about a month and then I invent another.  That's a quirk of mine I guess.   I love these olives so I wouldn't be surprised if they stay in the salad for more than a month.   Note, for house mate I've been making the arugula-apple salad (without lettuce instead of arugula) because I don't think she'd like the olives.  I should let her try out mine and see if she likes it.

Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't know this Barb...but what's an essene bud?

Keep up the great work--what awesome meals you've been having!

oh sorry, I meant to link to them. I just added the link. It's a sort of bread made from sprouted wheat berries. These also have raisins and ground almonds. They are a good muffin substitute to me. Apparently you can make your own, as strix told me. But I don't know how. I've never tried sprouting.
