brussel sprouts, walnuts and quinoa in a lemon vinaigrette

We haven't gone grocery shopping this week because we partied all weekend. Lol. So now I'm looking in the freezer and we have three bags of brussel sprouts. I roasted the brussels and walnuts in the oven.

Brussels at 400 for 20 min and the walnuts at 375 for 5. The quinoa I made it simple. 2c water 1c uncooked quinoa. You cook it like rice. I zested the lemon and juiced the whole lemon and whisked it into 1/4c of olive oil. I also tossed in red pepper flakes.

It taste really good. Lunch for tomorrow too.

Pokey Rachel and I just did this!

Is your fridge a garden or a morgue?

Pokey and I love to grocery shop. It's what we do lol. I really love that he is cool w the fact that I'm not eating meat and don't care for it in the house. I feel it take up space and why do that when I can put veggies in its place! First shelf: almond milk, black berries, cilantro, cherries, yogurt (his) apple sauce that my momma brought over for Angie's kids. I need to give that to her. And BEER!!! Bobby gave it to Pokey Second shelf: Salad stuff. Spinach, spring mix, feta cheese, avocado and tomatoes Third shelf: Green grapes, mushrooms and corn. HEB 5 for $1 Fourth shelf: Eggplant (Pokey's) red grapes, watermelon and cauliflower. Pickled jalapeño. Pokeys choice. Not mine "/ Vegetable drawer: Bell pepper, tomato, broccoli, cucumbers, poblano pepper and small red orange and yellow peppers Counter: FRUIT!!! Bananas, pineapples, apples, pear, lemon and limes. I LOVE COLOR!!!!

21 Day Sugar Detox

Monday after Super Bowl some friends and I started this detox. I was nervous, excited, anxious and scared. I didn't know what to expect. It went well. I are a lot like this. No sugar meant no bread or processed foods. I lost 9lbs. It felt good. It did change my way of thinking about sweets. I don't crave them. I guess that was the point lol. I'm glad it's over but I've been following the diet for the most part.

Vegan Mostly
