Day 7 Headed In The Right Direction

Day 7

Rushed this morning again. Had a GS with Kale Wtr Bananas and then remembered I did make almond milk. Put that in with a little avocado and a carrot.
Too much water but I really liked it. Drank as much as I had time, one in the frig, one for work. I think I prefer a more drink GS than thicker GS.

Lunch was okay. Collard leaf. Butter Squash pattie veggies. I can never roll the leaf right. Tasted just okay. Missing the pate I guess. Well put a couple aside for tomorrow. I bet tomorrow it will taste better to me. One day I will Love something then next day a little less then don’t want any more until I get a high craving again. Drank the GS and was totally satisfied. Maybe the combination wasn’t good to me. I did like the BS with a flax type cracker with tomato. Also wasn’t sure about the collard leaf. I have been peeling the leaf away from the stem. Didn’t think you could eat the stem. Need to watch a video or two to see how they do it.

Dinner. I drank the smoothie. Didn’t feel like fixing anything via blender or FP but wanted something a bit heavier next. Tablespoon of PB and it was good. Then I dug in the frig and found some snacks that I made this weekend and bagged. One of the items looked gross. Big and twisted and looking totally like it was a horror experiment. I didn’t know what it was but vaguely remembered fixing it. Tasted it. Oh yeah. It was a ripe banana that I had hope in making it into a raw pancake. Nope. I had blended and then dehydrated it. Left it in overnight and it wasn’t ready but I took it out anyway. Kind of rolled it and put it into a baggie.

It was great. Way too sweet but so good. So took out 2 overly ripe bananas, blended and put them in the dehydrator. I made banana leathers before and didn’t not particularly like it. Do I like it better when it is moister? Then pulled out the choc cashew ice cream with a choc don’t like truffle and that wasn’t as good as the day before. Must not have been hungry any longer or the because of the sweet leather. See I don’t like something but another time I will. I have fickle taste buds. Hunger also plays a big part in it.

Have to work on something about dinner meals though. I worry. Thinking that maybe I need to uncook something in the middle of the week. Can be lazy though. I guess it will be okay for eating something simply or drinking my dinner if only I didn’t get so hungry for something else and had nothing in the house to satisfy. That could bring my craving for sweets and grease back. It is so cool to eat like I did tonight.

Now I have to figure out something to do with the eggplant I have and the cabbage. Don’t want them to spoil. I had tried eggplant “bacon”. That did not remind me of bacon Of course I will try it again. Need to search out new recipes for the weekend. Still have a lot of the crackers that I made. Will have to eat those before making more though.

Sometimes the day does turn in the right direction.
