More food pictures!

The kids eating and LOVING blueberry and spinach popsicles.

First, a little update on all of my goals. I have been knitting every day and getting better at it. I love watching projects unfold.

I have not been working out every single day because some days I am very busy, but I have been getting a workout in often. So far this week I have done Kenpo X, AbRipper X and a rebounder workout. Today I am going to do either Plyometrics or the Cardio X one.

I have been cooking every day and it's really fun. I get to learn new things, and the kids are trying lots of new foods. And our diets are expanding and becoming more balanced because of it. AND we are not getting bored with the same old stuff. Lots of benefits here!

My wrist is still sore, so I'm not doing guitar, I think I might have to take that off the list for this month and move it yet again to another month. When I do it I want to give it my all.

I have not spend insane amounts of time on any one project and I have still been arriving on time to things.

The only problem is I haven't been keeping up on having a clean house, after the holidays I had such a hard time returning to normal. I am inviting a friend who loves to clean over to help me whip it into shape and then I am keeping up on it!

Ok, enough talk, on to the pictures!









This french toast is made with chickpea flour instead of eggs. I ground up some spinach into the chickpea/almond milk. Not enough to taste it, but enough that it turned this shade of green. The kids ate every last bite.



This home made apple sauce was amazing. I just loved it! It's the best recipe I have done, all my other apple sauce was only ok. I also added about a half cup of spinach into the blender with it. The kids were grossed out by the color, which looks like baby food peas, but they did eat some. Their only gripe was that it wasn't sweet enough.



We had these for breakfast today. the entire thing you see before you was only 350 calories total. The sausage is made from wheat meat, or seitan, mixed with a lot of spices and flavorings. It is by far the best seitan recipe I have made. The salsa was made with a half of a fresh pineapple (which I have been missing dearly since we moved away from Hawaii), one small tomato, some onions which are supposed to be fresh but I used dried cannery onions and it was still really good. Cilantro and some lime. It was very satisfying. The kids ate theirs with some of the "eggs" that were left over from earlier. Taiten even tried a little bit of the pineapple salsa. They ate it all and asked for seconds.



So far this is the only recipe I didn't love. These are fried plantains. They are pretty, but they taste like potatoes. It's weird. In the book the author said she has these when she wants something sweet. They were not sweet at all! I think they would make a really good fried elephant ear though, grind it up with a little flour and fry. I have another plantain, I think I am going to try it that way.
