Eat Dance Live

Is it a total cop out that I haven't blogged in a week and now am just posting a bunch of pictures of other people's food? Okay... maybe. I think I may be taking this "being on a total mental vacation before I have to study for my comprehensive exams in August" thing a little too seriously. However, I do have a distraction for you... I just got the BEST Easter present ever : I just got my first kitten! Meet Massachusetts. He's 8 weeks old and he has my heart. Some of you might already know that we already technically have a kitty, Fox: But I suppose he's "technically" Andrew's cat. (Yes, the human love of my life also came with the feline love of my life... lucky girl, I know! Is that what you call a twofer? Heh...) Anyway, I've wanted a kitten since the day I knew what a kitten was. Strangely enough, today was only the second (or third) time in my life that I've been exposed to kittens as young as Mass. For a girl, ...

The food plan for the next three days is going to be all about Green Smoothies. Why? Because it's hot, because they're cooling, and because I feel like it. Also, every time I eat a vibrantly green smoothie Andrew says it's to help keep me human. If I forget to have a green smoothie... I might turn back into a monster. Shhh, don't tell anybody. (this monster is from here ) I came up with the idea thanks to the Green Smoothie Queen who has a free introductory 3-day course on Green Smoothies. While I know all about how nutritious and yummy they are already, I'm always up for learning and getting new recipes! So I signed up to her intro on Sunday and have been getting snazzy new emails in my inbox every morning with tips, tricks, and recipes. I love it! I am still taking my tinctures, though I've given up the Rejuve Powder because I don't feel it's been doing anything for me digestion-wise (aside from making me nauseous). I started my day with a green smoo...

But before I get to that, if ever you decide to make the Mock Salmon Pate I made yesterday and have some left-over, put it back in the blender with one tomato and tad bit more salt for a wonderfully creamy pasta sauce. I served it up with spiralized zucchini topped with capers, broccoli florets, chopped cauliflower, diced red pepper, and some sundried tomatoes. It was wonderful! Also made my favorite kale chips using this recipe that I swear by (minus the garlic). They're in our tummies already! I also experimented with raw peanuts today, and made a semi-successful batch of 'peanut butter surprise cookies' (ground raw peanuts, agave nectar, sea salt, with a piece of chocolate hidden inside). I stuck them in the dehydrator for about 4-6 hours and peanuts end up releasing quite a bit of oil when you dehydrate them! I would probably add some form of oat/spelt flour to soak that up next time. As promised, here's that I've been doing for my fitness this week: Tuesday: ...
