...W.I.A.Y...Eat Your Greens...

...Participating in Eat Your Greens - June 2018...
...so hop over to A2K - A Seasonal Veg Table or The Veg Hog to learn more...
...I started the day before dawn with cereal and almond milk with Scout...he leaves the house about 6:30 to go to the gym before his summer intern job...
...and I've gotten to the bottom of the delicious dried fruit that my sweet sissie sent me for Christmas...and there was a handful of dried kiwifruit left...not our fave for eating out of hand...
...added some vegan protein powder...not my favorite...but I'm definitely going to use it up...and some Spirulina...
...and some spinach stems...from the spinach I was preparing for lunch...
...and blended that all up into a nice green (protein rich) green smoothie...it made 2 glassfuls...so I had one mid morning and another one with my lunch...
...so I just water-sautéed the spinach with some garlic...that whole big pan only makes 2 nice sized servings of spinach...
...added some leftover squash casserole, leftover green beans, carrots and cucumbers along with the second glass of green smoothie...
...later in the afternoon...I had a snack of chips and salsa with nooch...
...just bottled salsa mixed with nutritional yeast...so good...
...and before dinner...I had a couple of handfuls of grapes and cherries...I'll be sorry when cherry season is over...
...dinner was a simple salad, Tunisian Bread, grilled tofu, and the rest of the spinach...
...I had soaked some dates for another recipe...and ever frugal..I used the soaking water mixed with some Dijon mustard and vinegar to make a rather passable dressing...
...but the star of the show was this twice baked sweet potato...it had been baked a couple of nights ago...and when no one ate it...I just stuck it in the fridge just in it's skin...thinking I'd take Elizabeth's advice and add it to some oatmeal...but I hadn't and I wanted to use it up...so I just peeled and sliced it and baked it again...it got kinda crispy and carmelized on the edges and it was so delicious...I was really glad I didn't throw it away...

...what did you eat yesterday?...

~Have a lovely day!

  2. Thank you so much for joining in with #EatYourGreens this month Teresa. I love your dishes here, especially the sweet potato and the salsa with nooch, but I have to give a special thumbs up to the green smoothie. The round up will be up on the 1st July.
