Breakfast:
I enjoyed starting my day yesterday
with Melon Mania and honestly a repeat breakfast today wasn’t that
disappointing. Fresh melon is always a treat and this time we mixed it up and
actually cut it into little cubes so it could be more like a fruit salad. We
still excluded the optional mint, but only because we needed it for Day #15
(yeah that’s right, we’re almost there) and we didn’t really want to go back to
the store unless it was absolutely necessary.
Mid-Morning Juice:
So something about these days off
just makes it next to impossible to eat/drink all five meals. And with our
morning walk, we really didn’t have time to have all five of them so something
had to go, and that something was the Beet, Celeriac, Carrot Juice. I know, I
know, I missed yesterday’s juice too but I had a really good reason today. I
didn’t have celeriac and I wasn’t going to the store, I wanted to get a work
out in (bet you thought I was going to say I hate beets). The walk was very
enjoyable though and that led right into lunch.
Lunch:
Wanting to kill two birds with one
stone, once again we made our lunch portion of Green Salad as well as the
dinner portion. That way when it comes time for dinner we just have to make the
dinner meal, do the dishes and relax. The only problem being we ran out of
ingredients for the dinner portion (guess we’re going to the store anyway,
sigh). Looking ahead, the afternoon snack was fresh veggies and called for a Honey Mustard Vinaigrette so we also prepared that.
In addition to the Green Salad, we had the left over portion of Squash & Apple Soup from Day #13, and much like the day before it was pretty bland
with a hint of apple sweetness. Today we used the optional ground black pepper
to add a little something to the taste, and it worked… Sort of.
Afternoon Snack:
The Crunch & Munch afternoon
snack worked perfectly to watch some of our weekly shows while we ate. Hulu Plus (shameless plug) allows us to watch our favorite shows when we want and
not when they’re on and without a cable subscription, it’s awesome (I warned
you, shameless plug). But all kidding aside it was nice to snack on some
carrots sticks, celery and even broccoli but I relied heavily on the Honey
Mustard Vinaigrette to make it through the cauliflower; still not a fan.
Dinner:
With our Green Salad already
prepared (minus the lettuce we added after the store run) it was nice to only
have to worry about making the Corn & Tomato Salsa, which was pretty easy
in general to make. I only wish we had a sharper knife to cut the corn of the
cob, but that’s another story. Once the salsa was prepared we actually sat down
to watch our shows (and enjoyed our afternoon snack) because the salsa needed
to sit in the fridge for at least an hour. Jaclyn decided that she had liked
the Sundried Tomato Dressing from Day #13 so much that she was going to make up
some more for our dinner. I do have to say that tonight’s dinner was pretty
fantastic. The Corn & Tomato Salsa was very tasty and reminded me of a dish
my sister-in-law makes and the Sundried Tomato Dressing in our Green Salad was
equally delicious. Overall a pretty tasty day for one of the last days of the
Reboot, and honestly I think I really needed that to remind myself that
vegetables can be a bigger part of my diet without eating foods that I dislike.
And with that (and a cup of tea) Day #14 came to a close and all that’s left is
one… more… day!!!
