Day 2: 01/01/11

Last night we had a pretty healthy dinner: 100% grass fed beef ribeye steaks (on sale at sprouts!) that Lowell grilled (Lowell has an amazing process that I may share later; seasoned with just salt and pepper) as well as a salad with a balsamic vinegar/flaxseed oil dressing (some other seasonings thrown in) (PS- the garlic had sprouted...does that mean it was a live dressing?! LOL).  The dressing was great, as Lowell created it himself! (he's pretty good at that!)  The steak was so tender even though I had frozen it. (shock to both Lowell and I as we love to use fresh ingredients...learned from my favorite chef Gordon Ramsay)

This morning brought another smoothie!! I am fighting a cold and hoping that these smoothies push my recovery time up!  The smoothie this morning wasn't as thick and I am wondering if it's because I used the greens I had portioned and froze.  Either way, it tasted great and Ada enjoyed it again.  Took a little longer to drink it this morning, but she still had a smile on her face! I am enjoying mine from my new venti starbucks reusable cup I found in my stocking! ;)

Ada also enjoyed a breakfast of a gluten-free blue berry waffle and some sweet potato! I am feeling really motivated about all this and have been pleasantly surprised at the reaction/feedback I am getting...it only helps to spur me on!!

Lowell suggested trying some hemp protein and Tammy (Lowell's mom) suggested some flax seed, which I have.  I am looking forward to some interesting creations!! I have also cut up and froze some cantaloupe  as that was suggested in the green smoothie girl book as well! Here's to a future of health! Cheers! :)
