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!

Avocado.

If I cut an avocado will you eat the other half? Pokey What are you...brand new? Me I'm in LOVE w avocado. For dinner I had left over veggies from Monday I stuffed them in my avocado w red pepper hummus. Dinner was great. We need to go grocery shopping. We only had 3 slices of bread. I asked Pokey if I could use all 3. He was like sure go ahead. So I did!!! Yup. That's a club lol. Hummus, tomato, avocado,spinach, bread then I repeated it all over again. Isn't that beautiful! I love it. I didn't plan on eating sweet potato tots. It just happened lol. Lunch was amazing.

Juicing

I'm craving juice. My body is seriously craving juice. Particularly cucumbers. I feel like I need to be watered. Does that make any sense? We started our journey with juicing. So why not continue. We have been eating vegan (me) and Pokey the majority of the time. For lunch I'd pack us a light lunch but my body wants to be watered. Last week at work we had 4 groups in 4 days. Talk about being tired. I ate bad bad and worse than I have in a LONG time. I ate Chic-fil-A. Chic-fil-A isn't bad just not good for me. My stomach can't handle the grease and meat. (That's what she said) Pokey says its ok because it's "Jesus" chicken. Lol that always makes me laugh. But it really messed up my stomach. I ate fast food for 4 days straight! Not cool. Now you know why I'm craving juice. First juice has cucumbers,lime, apples and a pear. The second juice has cucumbers, apples, lime and watermelon. I'm so excited for lunch tomorrow.

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 ...
