Yesterday:
B - smoothie (water, power greens, chia seeds, frozen mixed berries)
L - big salad (50/50 blend, red pepper, red onion, sunflower seeds, grape tomatoes, nooch, balsamic)
D - hummus wrap (hummus, lots of lettuce/yellow pepper/onion), lots of watermelon
S - grapes, lara bar
Today's plan will be pretty much a repeat of yesterday. I don't seem to have time or inclination to make something new every day but I love salads and wraps so I'm cool with eating them every day. I am going to play around with making my own bean spreads so I can eliminate the oil in the hummus. I will find a recipe to try this weekend.

Here are a few no oil hummus recipes
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked white beans or canned, no-salt added or low-sodium white beans
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons unhulled sesame seeds
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
Instructions:
Blend the beans, lemon juice, sesame seeds, vinegar, mustard, and water in a food processor or high-powered blender until smooth. Add the basil and thyme and pulse very briefly. Do not over-process; the herbs should be visible in small pieces.

In a food processor or high-powered blender, blend the red peppers, garlic, beans, lemon juice, sesame seeds and cumin. Add a small amount of water if needed to achieve desired consistency. Work in batches if necessary.

Hi Everyone! We finally moved! After things were delayed until Tuesday, they were once again delayed until Thursday!! We were starting to worry that the whole thing would fall through, but here we are!
I am loving it so far! Ruby is loving it, too. She can run around off her leash. I don't even know where her leash is right now and we used to have her on it constantly when we were outside. So far on our property, we've seen rabbits (and lil bunnies!), deer, tiny frogs, garter snakes, and coyotes.
Our eating is much better and we're working towards improving things every day. The previous owners started a garden, so although it is too late for us to start much, we are taking over what they have (beets, kale, rhubarb, peas, tomatoes and some other as of yet unknown bits). We've got loads of pears and apples ripening, and cherries trees which I think are mostly finished now.
We've been unpacking and working on the yard so I'm getting a lot more activity than I used to. I'm sore pretty much all over, so hopefully I start to adjust and hurt less. Time to build up some stamina!
Should be posting much more regularly again!
B - Dr. F banana blueberry oatmeal, vanilla latte, coffee w/ coconut creamer
L - red lentil cauliflower curry
D - red lentil cauliflower curry
Snack - fruit salad (pineapple, grapes, blueberries, strawberries)0 -
Yay Carla! So glad you're finally in your new home. Great choices on food today too!
I fell off the wagon with a thud this weekend, but I'm back on track today. It wasn't too awful, breakfast and lunch were usual smoothie and salad, but dinners were hummus quesadillas and veggie spring rolls, and beer lol. I was working all weekend and I just got a harrrrumph sort of attitude like why am I working all the time, and wanted to drink a few beers, and that led to bad food choices. I know better, will do better.
Still super busy, hoping that the long weekend will be good for me to get more caught up. The 4th actually falls on Monday which is nice. I just don't want to go to the office the day they have the big fireworks, too much traffic and craziness.

Mihani, I too had some beer yesterday. I split a bottle of Shock Top with my husband but gave him the bigger half. Couldn't resist. It was a glorious afternoon and we were sitting in the shade with a nice breeze. No regrets on that one
Today
Breakfast: coffee & banana blueberry oatmeal
Lunch: red lentil cauliflower curry
Dinner: red lentil cauliflower curry
snacks: nectarine, fruit salad, vanilla latte
for my workout I weeded and watered the garden for an hour, then used the push mower for 30 minutes or so (ride on mower hasn't arrived yet)0 -
Half a beer, Carla, is the epitome of moderation and control! I need to make that red lentil cauliflower curry this weekend. I love that stuff.
Today was pretty good...
B - the usual smoothie
L - Amy's teriyaki wrap
D - hummus wrap with lots and lots of veggies, like tearing the tortilla trying to wrap up all the veggies
S - apple

Love the sound of that hummus wrap with veggies, Mihani. I think I'll make Terri's hummus recipe and have that tonight! I'm going to sneak in a few leaves of beet greens and see how noticeable they are. They aren't my husband's favorite but so good for you.
This morning's exercise was another hour plus of push mowing and gardening. Great start to the day while it is still cool out!
Today:
Breakfast: coffee and banana blueberry oatmeal
Lunch: red lentil cauliflower curry
Dinner: veggie hummus wrap
Snack: nectarine and rainier cherries0 -
Hey Carla, I think we're the only people in the group this month lol. I am not fond of beet greens either, they can be kind of bitter, but if they are mixed in with other things they are okay.
B - oatmeal with lots of blueberries and strawberries
L - baby carrots, Amy's samosa wrap
D - another big ol' hummus wrap lots of veggies
S - apple
I need to concentrate more on the veggies. I am slipping up a bit there. No way I'm getting the full pound of cooked, and probably not the entire pound of fresh the past couple days. I should be working on getting all those in before adding the oatmeal and tortillas.

Looks like you're right, Mihani, we're alone for now. Everyone is probably outside enjoying the weather! I also need to work on my veggies. I'm going to switch out my oatmeal this morning for a smoothie with greens to start.
My wraps yesterday turned out great. I made some baked falafel with lentils instead of chick peas, Terri's no oil basil hummus recipe (turned out good!) and threw in as many veggies as I could, which turned out to be not near as many as I'd chopped up. My pita pocket was way too small for everything! Sadly, the beet greens were the first to be omitted! I'm having the same thing for lunch today and this time I'll pile the extra veggies on my plate and have them salad style.
plan for today:
B - blueberry smoothie with spinach
L - falafel veggie hummus wrap
S - nectarine, cherries
D - Thai peanut bowl
Exercise will be gardening, push mowing, and house cleaning!0 -
Mmmmm. thai peanut bowl sounds really good Carla.
I'm planning to make red lentil cauliflower curry, and the french green lentil salad over the weekend, and try some oil free hummus recipes. My plan for taking tomorrow off didn't work out. I don't know why I get my hopes up.
B - coconut milk yogurt
L - subway veggie sub
D - big salad with black beans, avocado, onion, tomato, yellow pepper, salsa
S - apple

Mihani, I'm sorry that you didn't get to take today off! You work so hard. I hope you get the weekend off!
I didn't end up having time to make the peanut bowl for dinner. We had leftover hummus veggie wraps again. I'll make the bowls tonight if I have enough oomph left after I get back from Ruby's training class. If not, I think I'll just make some Amy's veggie burgers. When we packed the freezer to move, I found 6 or more full packages of them!
Yesterday we picked up 6 chicks! Our neighbor had them for sale and I think we drove him crazy asking all sorts of questions about how to take care of them. They are 1 month old.
Today's plan:
B - spinach blueberry smoothie, coffee x2
L - falafel veggie hummus wrap
S - fruit
D - Amy's veggie burgers or Thai Peanut Bowl
Exercise: push mowing and weed whacking the chicken yard and orchard, gardening
Oops! I didn't realize it was the first already! Happy Canada Day!!! 0
