Food Flops

I'm so excited for another weekend- no big plans but the Superbowl, weekend yoga, and spending time at home will be fun. 



3 Week Lifestyle Update

This week marks week 3 of my new lifestyle and I'm still doing fine.  I can't say I love it 100% but I seem to be craving sugary treats a lot less since I know I would have to try to make them myself or spend a ton of money on packaged treats and that kind of misses the whole point.  I have screwed up food combining a couple of times with food order (see example of eats below) but I still say as long as I do it most of the time, my head won't spontaneously combust.  My big milestone is February 28 and I'll probably have a big chunk of chocolate that day.  A BIG chunk of chocolate.  My coworkers are probably more excited about this than I am.  At this point, I think I may implement this permanently and live happily ever after as long as it includes some occasional treats, just ask me again in a couple more weeks.



Food Flops

Not everything I have been eating is fabulous.  I made amaranth and found the texture absolutely foul.  It tasted like something people eat in jail, so I had to camouflage it a LOT to not throw it all out.  I am guessing I did something wrong when cooking it.  Here is how I ended up eating it:



Amaranth in a jar- amaranth mixed with goat milk yogurt, chia seeds, squirt of agave nectar, almond butter, and raspberries.  Between the presentation, the actual food substance, and the combination, it wasn't bad, but very mediocre.


The other flop is the juice I bought from Safeway's Organics line.  There is nothing wrong with fruit juice, but the label said it was a pomegranate juice- apparently it's a pomegranate juice blend.  It tasted like grape juice and that is just wrong.  When I see a picture of a pomegranate I expect it to kinda taste like the juice it needs to be.  This one was my fault for not reading the label more carefully.  I still drank it, but diluted it with a gallon of water.
