CLEAN: Day Four

  

 Mmm. Pumpkin Pie. All it was missing was the whipped cream. Also from the Clean Recipes Manual- page 21 to be precise. I'm not posting recipes because these kids have a lot of things copyrighted, and I just really don't want to get sued and stuff. Better to be safe than sorry! 

   Lunch was my own creation: a cod "quesadilla". 

About 1/2 filet cooked cod, seasoned to your liking. (Check Day One for my seasonings!) 

1 teff tortilla

avocado

cilantro

lime

Heidi Ho vegan smoked gouda, shredded

olive oil

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a pan, add tortilla and fry a bit till both sides are golden brown. Add in your vegan gouda and cod, and cook till warm through. 

Garnish with avocado, cilantro, lime, I would have added some chili sauce, but didn't have any on hand. Enjoy! 

   To drink: I've been a huge fan of iced teas lately. This is an iced chai tea sweetened with liquid Stevia- just a few drops will do since it's so strong. I just brew a mug of decaffeinated tea, let it sit for a bit, then pour it into a cup filled with ice. A few drips of stevia, stir. Lovely. 

   I like to have some kind of snack on hand for when I'm on the go- today I mixed up another batch of... well... it's not GORP, but it IS kind of like Squirrel Food. Every time I make it, it's different. I use what I have on hand, and my dried fruit is unsweetened. Today I had: 

Raw Brazil Nuts (don't seem to be as 'earthy' as the roasted) 

Pecans

Coconut Flakes (unsulphered) 

Raw Sunflower Seeds

Goji Berries

Dried Mulberries (my new flavorite) 

Dried Blueberries

Raw Pumpkin Seeds

Dried Currants

   Mix it all up, and you will LOVE it. See how it's shaped like a little heart?!? 

   Dinner today needed to be quick and cool. I was rummaging around for juicing ideas in my crisper, but some things had been neglected and needed to be thrown out. That's always so sad to me. BUT, I had pears, lemons, cilantro, and ginger, so that's what I used. I also added in a tablespoon of chia seed- since it's so good for you and your tummy. The kids even had some and liked it. Always a plus.
