The morning started out with a very simple blackberry and greek yogurt parfait. I topped this with almond slices and those are glorious things! Here is day three breakfast recipe. From the picture, I probably had too many sliced almonds and the serving size was too large. I had some then came back and had the rest an hour later.
Ease of preparation: 1, so very easy. If you have a spoon, you're good to go! Get it girl!
Satiety: I was surprised at how filing this was. I did a handful of chores on half of this serving size then came back for a fill to sit and fold laundry. Yes, my life is glorious.
Serving Size: By following the directions, it is a great individual serving size.
Flavor: This recipe tasted mostly of plain greek yogurt so as long as you don't mind unsweetened greek yogurt, you won't mind this recipe. The blackberries can be a wee bit tart, so I wouldn't blame you for wanting to add a little honey, honey.
Next is lunch! We had great use of the leftover napa cabbage in this recipe. I used all that I had left and it was perfect. The salad was served cold, nothing heated or warmed. It was a forkful of happiness and joy. With this so very simple recipe, I made a dressing myself in hopes that it was a clean dressing. I just searched because you can ask for forgiveness instead of permission and great news, it's clean! This link will show the lunch recipe which is Asian Chicken Salad with Almonds and "Rice vinegar" vinaigrette.
Ease of preparation: 1, so very easy. Slice the cabbage and already roasted chicken and viola. My rice vinaigrette was prepared the same way as their vinaigrette, but I used rice vinegar as my acid.
Satiety: this was a perfect lunch. I could eat this several times a week. Add in carrots, which the recipe called for but I omitted and perhaps some fennel..yum.
Serving Size: I shared the bowl from the picture with one of my daughters, who loved it. We also shared left over kales and chickpeas so I didn't waste what I over made from the day before. .
Flavor: This was a very clean tasting salad. A lot of crunch and a fresh simplicity. I really found pleasure in this dish.
With preparation, I bring you dinner. For dinner tonight I made cauliflower steaks with lentils. In addition to these two elements, I made the family basmati rice and roasted chicken from the big batch roasted chicken for them to eat.
Ease of preparation: slicing shallots, slicing cauliflower and turning on the oven was about it for work. I had to time things for them to be served at the same time. Most of the timing was because of the additional items I made for my children.
Cost of ingredients: Inexpensive. I used bagged beans, lentils quick really quickly. Satiety: I think this is a great dinner and if you aren't too worried about calories and just want to have a detox, eating some of the roasted chicken will give you enough food for the remainder of the night.
Serving Size: I used one cauliflower and doubled the recipe for the lentils so I could serve everyone.
Flavor: I added salt to the lentils. I love the thickness of the cauliflower and roasting it consistently makes for such a treat.
Today was a good food day. I am thankful I made a clean vinaigrette that I like. Cheers to those raising their glasses for New Years!
