Breakfast: Have to admit I’m really missing the coolness of Massachusetts’ mornings when I’d sit outside on the deck with a cup of tea and my journal. It’s just too hot to really enjoy here — hopefully that’ll change soon. Another smoothie it was, replacing greens with raw broccoli today.
Lunch: Looking for some comfort food between client projects, I went with an asparagus risotto from Trader Joe’s. It was just what I was craving — filling, nourishing and creamy. More carb-heavy than I usually have, but it’s what my body wanted and it felt wonderful. The closest Trader Joe’s is about 90 minutes away so I stock up and then save for when I really want something. 😉
Dinner: Looking for veggies this evening, I went with a simple brown rice, beans, guacamole and veggie tortilla. I ended up devouring the first and quickly making a second. Note…since I’m here on my own, I find myself with leftovers when it comes to rice and beans and have discovered that they freeze well together. Personally I don’t like to freeze in plastic so invested in some small freezable mason jars that work beautifully for individual sizes (I also freeze lots of homemade soup and freshly made primavera sauce with tons of zucchini from the garden). Just be sure that you get ones that say they’re for FREEZING and fill only to the fill line.
