Meatless Monday: Mimi and Lily

Mimi came over this afternoon. We were hanging out. She loves making smoothie and juicing. (YAY!!)

Kept it simple: strawberries, grapes, kiwi, blueberries, chia seeds and spinach! She was kinda nervous about the spinach. I told she should at least have some green in every meal.

We keep it classy. How else would you drink a smoothie? We fancy.

Lily and the boys came over. We made lunch. I forgot I bought saffron the last time her and I went to HEB. I use it in my quinoa today. It was so good! Lily cooked a sweet potato hash.

4 sweet potatoes

2 small red peppers

2 green bell peppers.

1 onion

2 celery stalks

1 corn (sliced off the cob)

Old bay seasoning (how ever much you want)

Black pepper (how ever how much you want)

1/2c vegetable stalk

Dice up all veggies and sauté them w oil. We used coconut oil. The last veggie to add is sweet potato. When everything turn soft and tender add the veggie stalk and lower the heat. Put a lid on it to steam the veggies. It will take probably like 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on your food. Lol. It will be delish!

Jackfruit "beef" Stew

SATURDAY WITH MY PARENTS! Pokey went fishing and I went grocery shopping. I love to hang out with my family. I love them with my entire heart. I called my mom and asked her if she wanted to join me while I picked up a few things from the store. Of course, she said yes. When I get to my parents she says my dad wants tacos from Cristobal. I'm down because they really have great tacos. I got beans and nopales (cactus) Look how cute my parents are. 43 years in February. I love that they show love to each other. We ended up going to HEB and I didn't grab much but I got some acorn squash and some okra. It was a cold Saturday and I know him being on the water plus the wind I know he would appreciate a warm meal when he came home. My mom in law bought us a Ninja Foodi and I have been intimidated by it for almost a year. This is probably the 4th time I have used it. I had one of those meal cheaters, it was beef stew one where you add meat and some veggies. I added ...

Movie Night:Hungry for Change

Last night we watched Hungry for Change. I love docs. I love docs about food! For me it helps me keep on track with what I'm doing as far as food. Sometimes I think I miss meat but I really don't. I try my hardest not to have processed food in our house. I'm glad Pokey (Husband) is on board. He will eat what ever I make. Last night I wanted Italian. I made some "pasta" I used yam noodles. So good. So lo in carbs it's great. I used bell pepper, mushrooms, onions, garlic and Italian spices. For our personal pizzas I used whole wheat high fiber lo carb tortillas. I love thin crust pizza so for my it was a no brainer. I loaded them w the same veggies I used for my sauce. I used "meatless" pepperoni and dairy free cheese. They were delish!!!

Gnocchi and Sauce

Let me start by saying I just wanted peppers and onions and wants a taco. Pokey comes in the kitchen and wanted gnocchi. (Gross) I just can't get behind eating a ball of dough. We really debated in the store behind it. I did not want him to buy it. However I let him slide because it was whole wheat and not enriched. Anywho... 1 bell pepper 1 poblano 1 onion 1 case of mushrooms 3 small yellow an orange peppers. When he said he wanted gnocchi I added 3 tomatoes and Italian seasoning and garlic (1tsp) When I turned around to text w my sister in law he added... Champagne and Cavendar's Greek seasoning. He threw in a little balsamic vinegar. I didn't fight him. He knows what he wants. I was no longer getting my tacos "/ Notice the pic above w veggies in a bowl? I kept those on the side while I put the veggies in the pan in the blender then added the remainder veggies back into the pan then simmered everything together. Now I added a little bit of olive oil and tomato ...
