Wednesday

Last night I made some creme filled strawberries as a snack treat.

I used one cup of pecans, half cup of almonds, one cup of dates and a few dollops of maple syrup to create the creme.  I processed all of the ingredients at once, adding about a cup of water as I went along.

Then I hollowed the strawberries and spooned the creme inside.
They are chilling now and will be ready to eat when I get home today.  (Btw - I am seriously working on a holiday - wth!).
I did sneak a quick taste of the creme and it is delish.

I was inspired to make these from a picture I saw of something similar on pinterest. I can see why ladies complain about becoming obsessed with that website, it is a fantastic visual experience and I really enjoy it.  Besides online, I perused some of my cooking books as well, to think about some recipes that might be nice to try.  When preparing 95% of my own food, I need to feel excited and motivated about it.  It is hard work!  It is also expensive, time consuming, energy consuming, creates a ton of dishes to do and can be a little stressful.  If I don't plan ahead, I am screwed.  BUT it is definitely worth all the trouble.  I am worth it and my health too.

Before I made my strawberry treat, I made a batch of corn chowder.  It is an easy, go-to recipe I have made time and time again.  It is made of walnuts, corn, olive oil and garlic.  I like to add some fixin's like avocado, corn, onion and tomato.  You can find the recipe here on Ani Phyo's website.

Last night Violet went to see the fireworks in town.  I stayed behind to cook my meals for the day and to rest some more.  The detox continues to really use my energy and although I am starting to feel better and better, mentally and physically, I am not 100%.  I gave her some neon-glow-in-the-dark bracelets to wear at the show.  She immediately posed for pictures.  What a cutie.
