My new love



It is in the '90s here today and I have been drinking water non-stop. 

When I was making my green drink, I pulled out this sorbet, tasted one spoonful and I was in love!

I have indulged in two bowls so far but since it only has 60 calories per serving, I haven't gotten too far out of control...yet.

My second try at making pizza turned out much better.


I cooked a couple of Rosie's chicken breasts and chopped them into chunks.


And I doctored up the pizza sauce with - 

- 2 tsp. of Tofutti cream cheese
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1/2 tsp. of raw raspberry honey

This turned the sauce from an overly acidic red sauce to a pink colored ambrosia. It was like a really tasty, thick tomato soup.



The chicken went on next.




Then I piled it high with the mozzarella cheese blend and it went into a 450 degree oven for 14 minutes.




I thought it could use some greens so I tossed some baby greens with some raspberry vinaigrette.


The dogs didn't get to have any of this - It was too delicious!












I hope everyone is having a good Monday.


I am going to go open my freezer and stare longingly at the container of Ciao Bella sorbet...

Turkey and bean taco salad

It is a beautiful day here and after lunch I think I will spend the rest of the day outside. 

For lunch I pulled a portion of frozen turkey and frozen kidney beans out of the freezer and tossed them into a skillet along with some taco seasoning blend.

While they cooked I shredded a carrot and chopped up 2 celery stalks and some fresh parsley.




Then I made a dressing of lemon juice, mirin, oregano, garlic powder, olive oil and cracked black pepper.


A few handfuls of baby greens went into the salad bowl and I tossed everything with the dressing. Then I sprinkled on about 1 Tbsp. of nutritional yeast.

 
By this time, the turkey and beans were done.

They went into the bowl along with dollops of Tofutti sour cream.


Along with a pear and some sparkling water - this was a great lunch!


I have been spending too much time typing lately. The top of my left shoulder blade is really sore - it is a spot that always starts to ache when I have spent too much time at the keyboard. For some reason I tend to hunch my left shoulder when I am typing.

It is time to start doing sun salutations in the morning so I can stretch out that muscle.

Time to head out for the rest of my day.

I hope everyone is having a good Saturday!
