In case you're wondering, I
did get around to adding more greens to my meals this week. But, let's start with DESSERT. I got back to raw food dessert basics and made a plain old cheesecake from
Sweet Gratitude. It had been a while since I made this one, and it turned out ok. What can I say? I'm accustomed to the fancier desserts now and this just seemed a little
bleh. However, it was quick, easy, and a great base for work-lunch desserts like:
and
Now that I think of it, I should have made some sort of berry sauce or chocolate sauce or both. That would have take this cheesecake from bleh to yay! Next time.
Ok, let's talk about greens. As in, we broke up over the winter and I want (NEED) them back in my life now. For the record, I don't recommend forgetting about greens for 6 months. But I did manage to have at least one salad every day for the past week.
I ate them with sweet potatoes & tahini dressing. Very good, I'm back on the salad wagon again. This is a sure sign that things are warming up.
Another thing I've added to my diet is
Vitamin Code for Women. Does anyone else take this? What do you think? I've been wanting to try these for quite a while. So far I've noticed that it gives me a little buzz when I take it. I guess my body must be shocked by all the vitamins and minerals. I'm going to take them for 30 days and see how I feel. Then I'll decide if I'm going to continue or switch to a (cheaper) vegan multi-vitamin. Feel free to chime in with your supplement experiences if you take them. Also, I realize that a lot of folks prefer to get their vits from fresh food. That would be ideal, but I have to be honest and say that my diet hasn't made it to that point yet and I want to make sure I'm getting everything I need.
Happy Thursday!
