EAT: WIAW Same old, same old...

-
Time for another What I Ate Wednesday post! I've only done one other before... The problem with any WIAW post of mine is that they'd all probably end up looking pretty much the same, changing up maybe only every season... conveniently, my constance means when I forget to take pictures, I can just recycle some old ones.
Breakfast: My favourite Green Smoothie
(note the obvious photo recycling thanks to the
dead giveaway of the Christmas table runner)

At this point, I've probably had this smoothie over 500 times in my life considering it's been my go-to breakfast for a few years now. I would do something different, but I don't, because it's just so yummy.

Mid-Day Snack: Raw Granola Crunchies
These crunchies have also become my replacement cereal option since I went raw. I now cut the liquid sweetener all together from the recipe and just used pureed dates (dates and little bit of water to make it mixable). The batch I had today were the same as the recipe I just linked above, but without the spirulina and sunflower seeds.

For my daily dark chocolate fix, I also had a Cocoa Camino Dark Chocolate mini.

Dinner: Collard Wraps with Thai Peanut Sauce

Guess what? I ate collard wraps... again... This time I filled them with carrots, celery, beets, cukes, and my most recent favourite sauce. It's a peanut sauce made up of duh, peanut butter (or raw almond butter), lime, salt (or tamari) and apple cider vinegar (or rice vinegar). Sooooo delicious...

Late Night Snack: These babies...


along with a small bowl of massaged kale salad! I don't know if it's the adrenaline, but I'm always super hungry when I come back from rehearsals!!!

So there you have it folk, another WIAW post from Eat Dance Live! Hope you had a food fabulous day too :) To end off, here's a picture of our kitty acting like a jungle king (the beauty of this pic is that I've had that necklace since I was a little kid and it was one of my favourites for dress up... think warrior princess?)

    Oooh those raisin cookies look really really good. I'm going to have to try them. Do you think it would be wise to add in some raw almond butter to the mix?

    Definitely! Most of my favourite raw cookies actually tend to use almond butter... I guess the only reason you won't in this is case would be to keep the "low fat" but if that's not a concern, experiment away!!!

Why Cooking is like Piracy

-
WARNING : Recipes are like the Pirate Code, they’re just guidelines I find exact proportions in cooking totally overrated. I love the way old medieval recipes were written: they just listed ingredients and then gave you a rough idea of how to assemble them. I admire the confidence that old recipes required that you have in the kitchen, the ‘just wing it’ attitude that compels you to trust your ability as a cook. Consider this awesome fourteenth century recipe for apple pie from The Forme of Cury compiled in 1390 by the master cooks of King Richard III: XXVII For to make Tartys in Applis “Tak gode Applys and gode Spycis and Figys and resons and Perys and wan they are wel ybrayed colourd with Safron wel and do yt in a cofyn and yt forth to bake wel.” In other words, mix together apples, pears, raisins, figs and spices—probably cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and saffron—mix and put it in a pieshell, the ‘cofyn’, and bake. That’s it! Seems very low maintenance, doesn’t it? It...

Eat: Turmeric Milk, the perfect night time relaxant

-

Oh, turmeric, you and your majestic golden hues, how you warm my nights and allow me to fall peacefully asleep, dreaming of warm humid summer nights, candles, and sequinned baldaquins... too much detail? I discovered turmeric milk thanks to my friend Kristen, who has been using it as a pre-bedtime sedative for quite some time. As someone who often has trouble sleeping, I was skeptical. As much as I love chamomile, lavender, and all the usual tricks, they haven't always worked for me. I've heard of the whole "drink a glass of warm milk before bed" idea but never tried it myself, thinking such a thing would be too heavy before bed. Yet, this new concoction won its way to my heart. Clever, turmeric, you. Turmeric, the beautiful orange spice from India, is from the ginger family. (Go figure, I love  ginger.) Ayuverda and TCM boast that turmeric is anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and helps deal with internal and external infections. Doctors have ...
