Purification Day 19

 Friday

When I shopped this week

I didn't get many lemons.

We have used apple cider vinegar in the past

to alkalize our systems in the mornings...

so I thought we would return

to the practice.

Blueberry Orange Smoothie

What a wonderful shake we had this morning.

It was filled with blueberries from our picking last summer,

organic oranges, spinach, celery, and parsley.

Hmm, Hmm Good!!

Lunch was had an Italian flair to it.

Big bowl of salad greens, arugula,

 radicchio, red onions, tomatoes, cucumbers,

Artichokes, and kalamata olives

then Chicken, tomato and basil meat balls.

Wonderful.

Dinner was

Spiced lentils on a bed of romaine leaves

 with onions and peppers

topped with avocados!

 While I was putting lunch on the 

chick-a-dee"s were frequenting our feeder

 I tried to get a few pictures of our visitors.

We also had a nut hatch coming back and forth to the feeder,

but he was much harder to get a picture of at the feeder.

I was able to get a good one of him on the top of the feeder pole.

 

Purification Day 10

We haven't quit! We are still going strong!

Breakfast was a delicious 

Raspberry Kale Smoothie.

Full of Raspberries  and Kale!

No picture for this.

Christianna made wonderful

Bell Peppers stuffed with veggie guacamole! Yes, they are completely raw!!

I made big salad full of vegetables

leaf lettuce 

radicchio

jicama

carrots

tomatoes

with homemade oil and vinegar dressing

Here's much better view of the peppers!

I realize that this is not a picture  of food...

but our walk is a  necessary part of the

purification program.

After being out at appointments

and getting home rather late,

I quickly put together oven stir fry cauliflower 

and leftover spoon salad.

I found this neat way of cooking vegetables 

quickly under the broiler.

Melt coconut oil in a broiler proof pan.

(I used stainless steel)

Then I added the thinly sliced red onions

making sure to coat them with oil.

Closed the oven door  for about 2-3 minutes.

In goes the cauliflower, stirred to get the oil on the pieces.

Shut the door for about 3-4 minutes.

Stirred again.

Closed the door for another 3-4 minutes.

After removing it from the oven, I ground salt and pepper over the top.

Then we ate it.

Delicious.
