Tues Greens! Breakfast Green Machine Juice from yesterday (not pictured), Lunch, Avocado Toast on Light Multigrain English muffin (no butter today - tastes the same, lol), and Butter Lettuce (no White Balsamic Vinegar drizzle today):
Tuesday Greens, Part II !
TY, @aalley5 🤍 Wishing I could enjoy your pretty rainbow chard, Ali! Sounds like a fun week of freggie cooking. Hopefully you and hubby had fun shopping, and weren't hemmed in my all the crowds
.
Today was a rainy day in Maine, and tho my original plan for today was to be raking and bagging leaves before the snow comes, the rain put paid to that plan, and I enjoyed the day of rest, tbh. Tonight's dinner, a portion of Sunday's chili, w/ sweet onions, and 1 oz cheddar, and an almost copy/paste of last night's fruit salad
. I stuck to just one clemmie tonight (the one I deleted from last night). Either the throat is def getting better (hope so!), or that steroid is a dream treat. The grapes only slightly twinged my throat (they were a real challenge, last night). I haven't tried the kiwi or clemmie yet (lol ptsd from last night), but I've only been working on the fruit plate for 20 minutes, not 2 hrs like last night!, so I'm confident it'll go okay 
. Who knows, I may go for that pb I deleted last night, to get some protein in, and a serving of Nuts, etc. We'll see ..
Just like last night, the Baked Apple, and the Banana, were a treat for my throat ~
- Baked Macoun Apple (so it would be soft, for my throat) w/ Ceylon cinnamon,
- Kiwi,
- Banana,
- Purple Grapes,
- Clementine

Wednesday Greens !
Avocado mixture on a muffin, diced tomatoes, eggs, butter lettuce (sans balsamic drizzle, again). Green Machine Green Juice 💪. I was feeding the kitties while I got the tomatoes started, and oops, they got a bit too charred. That's okay, I still like 'em!

I love seeing that, too ! I don't think I've ever seen sprouts on the stalk here 🤔. And, ty, SG !!
I love the 'Nature Made' label 😊. Four days of green and nature mades here have helped that sore throat heal! No more stinging today, and just very slight tenderness when swallowing! Yay, bc I'm flying to NY tmo, and don't want to get anyone sick!
Are you in NYC for Thanksgiving? I'm heading out to Long Island, Thanksgiving with sisters 💕💕1 -
Have fun on Long Island!

Wednesday Freg, Part II !~
I forgot I meant to have another chili portion with my fruit plate tonight, and I cut up some Sark Cheese, and added some Chickpea Chips, instead. I was feeling excited to challenge myself with the sharp edges of the chips, since my throat is so much better today. (ooo, those chips are hotter than I remembered, tho! Shoulda stuck with the chili, lol).
Anyway! Another Macoun Apple, baked with Ceylon Cinnamon, a Banana, feeling adventurous ;-), went for a Naval orange and 2 Clemmies! Challenging myself with the citrus, as well as the crackers 🤣. As on the other nights, the apple & banana are a treat on my throat. Surprisingly, tho the Naval Orange is much paler in color than the deep orange of the Clementines, the Naval has a much bigger taste. I often find it's the reverse, that Clemmies have more taste. Not this time!

Happy Thanksgiving Evening from Quogue! I made sure to get lots of veggies, several squashes, rainbow carrots, grapes, green beans, cranberry sauce, omg I can't remember what else. The rain cleared up in the early afternoon, and the skies cleared up while we had an impromptu dance party with all the 20-something cousins passing around microphones, singing their hearts out. The stars were everywhere in the cleared skies, and 4 planets (at least!). We saw Jupiter, Uranus, Mars, and Beetlejuice! Orion, Ares, a whale, a rabbit, I can't remember the rest of the constellations. Beautiful sky.
Hope you all had a safe and lovely and delicious holiday 1 -

No pix from yesterday, but I realized I had no green, so as a late night snack I ate a serving of Baby Butter Lettuce, lol. Back in Maine. Also yesterday, some Apple Juice, a Sugar Bee Apple, another Tumeric Latte from that cute coffeehouse in Portland, that I went to with my daughter and niece a couple weeks ago (lunch with a friend, this time), some cocktail gherkins with my sandwich (lol ok that doesn't count ;-) ), the last portion of chili (so, some beans), from before I left, and yea, you can see why I was eating Butter Lettuce just before midnight, lol ~
Happy Saturday!0 -

Saturday Greens!
Avocado (mixture w/ olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika) on a Honey Wheat English Muffin, for dinner, with olive-oil fried eggs & diced tomatoes w/ organic black pepper. Topped with Butter Lettuce again, but a different brand, so it's red & green today, along with White Balsamic Vinegar, no more stinging throat (yay!, still a little clogged, but no more pain), and a couple chopped up pitted dates, and a serving of walnuts.
And a cuppa Naked Juice Green Machine.
Cheers,
~ mk

Getting in my greens but have eaten way too many pumpkins! lol2

In my opinion, there's no 'too many' for pumpkins! lol ~
Actually, ALL freggies count in the challenge, there's just a focus on Greens (when you can).
All freggies seem to be a challenge for me, I count a win any time I have any of them, lol ~
