Making Do....

Howdy folks! So it's been a few days since I've posted anything, and that's because I have been super busy and haven't done any cooking. We have eaten out so much lately that I don't want to think about eating out...do you ever get that way? We are also in major need of groceries. I had planned on going grocery shopping last night after church, but it was pretty late and I was exhausted for some reason...probably from eating so much junk over the last few days. :) Tomorrow will turn a new leaf though as I will have a freshly stocked food in the frig and pantry....yay. I have been with out kale for 5 days now and am having serious withdrawals from it. It's hard to believe that I love kale the way I do now. It's good to see that other people love it as much as I do.

Monday morning I made a smoothie, but I was all out of fresh greens. I used some frozen spinach to replace the fresh, which I don't think I will be doing again. I wasn't a big fan of the frozen stuff. I could taste that it wasn't fresh...for sure. It's been so long since Monday, so I don't really remember exactly what all I put in the smoothie. I think it was water, frozen spinach, flax seeds, frozen banana, frozen pineapple, some shredded coconut, cinnamon, protein powder and maca powder. I drank it, but that's about all I can say for this one....not the best tasting smoothie that I've had. I think it probably would have been great with fresh spinach or kale.

Yesterday for lunch I ate out. I order the Bean Curd with Broccoli from the #1 Chinese restaurant down the road from my work. I haven't had it in a while so it hit the spot.

Tuesday night we had a birthday party to go to which was held at another steak house (The Old Hickory Steak House). I was hoping that their salads wouldn't be like the last one that I got at Dixie Castle about a month ago. It consisted of iceburg lettuce, with a slice of tomato, 2 slices of cucumber and 2 slices of onion...not much of a salad. I have to say that I was very impressed with this steak house. I was so shocked when they brought my salad out. I ordered a small Greek salad with out the cheese. It was AWESOME, and can you believe that I didn't even take a picture of it....what's wrong with me? I guess I was too busy talking and enjoying my salad. Anyway, it was made of fresh greens (no iceberg), tomatoes, red onions, olives, peppers, and cucumbers. It had a Greek dressing on it that was made up of olive oil, vinegar, and spices. Totally yummy! I got a baked potato also. Oh, we ordered some fried mushrooms as an appetizer too. Oh man...they were so good! I must make some!

Today for lunch I had a "bacon" wrap. I scrounged around in the freezer and frig to find enough stuff to make a wrap for lunch today. I had like half a head of cabbage in the frig, half a red bell pepper, and a little bit of shredded carrots. I also had some vegan bacon in the freezer and a little store bought hummus in the frig. I used all those things to make my wrap for lunch, which was really good!

That's all for today. Hopefully I will be back with some good home cooked or raw food in the next day or two. :o)
