So we are on the last day of a four-day cleanse I found via a beautiful food site - My New Roots. While I haven't yet been able to make her (admittedly wonderful-looking) Life-Changing loaf of bread satisfactorily yet, but may try again soon. Anyway, this cleanse ended up being pretty much just fruits, veg, and seeds prepared wonderfully. I won't be sorry when it ends tomorrow, but I have discovered a few winning recipes I intend to keep:
Winter Kale Slaw
Parsnip "Rice"
Coconut-Date Bites
Baked Apples
But wait! You cry. If anything, you're too crazed with baked-apple frenzy! And you're not incorrect. But the recipe above is nearly as lovely as my butter-and-brown sugar drenched delicacies, with nothing but apples, coconut, raisins, and spices. I won't leave the dessert-y ones forever, but the lighter ones could be a dessert or breakfast, anytime!
This cleanse was, on a whole, a way to shock our systems and get going into a more serious eating and exercise plan. This may well turn into a cooking and fitness blog now, not that food hasn't formed the vast majority of my posts so far. Apart from keeping going with school one and school two, that should form a majority of my plans for the near future.
Next up: Put new recipes (these and others) into My Fitness Pal so I can easily keep track of what I'm eating. If things go the way we plan, we'll have to be a bit calorie-conscious for the next, oh, 90 days . . .
