I can't believe that I am six days into my one week vegan cleanse.
I have nothing special to report today except that we have had some fairly cool cloudy weather the past couple of days here in southern California and I find my taste is leaning toward warming and comforting macrobiotic style meals - which is not surprising considering my macrobiotic training.
This morning I made quinoa with ground chia seeds, burdock root pickle, and miso soup with all of last night's left-over veggies thrown in.
For lunch I made black beans (slow cooked in a crock pot) - yes! the black beans finally sprouted - and quinoa with steamed colorful veggies such as bok choy, kale, carrots and squash. I dressed the meal up with a homemade dressing.
Both meals were fairly easy to put together.
Tonight I am really taking the easy way out and meeting a friend for dinner at Lyfe Kitchen in Culver City - reputed to have healthy delicious vegan/gluten free meals.
P.S. - Not that crazy about Lyfe Kitchen. The meal was skimpy and I ended up eating again when I got home last night. In fact, I ate right up until bedtime. My favorite vegan eatery is Real Foods Daily. If I am going to go out for a vegan meal - make it Real Foods Daily.
About Me
- Lisa
- Hi! My name is Lisa and I am the creator of Serene Cuisine - a personal chef business. For as long as I can remember I have been passionate about good food. I have been known to forage in the hills, garden in the back yard, and scour the local farmer's markets in search of the best and finest ingredients. I have found that foods that are local and traditionally raised taste better. This blog was inspired by my daughter Carrisa who lived with me the summer of 2010 because she wanted to learn how to prepare healthy food. This is a record and sometimes a retrospect of some of our shared food adventures. Carrisa is back in school now - but will continue to be a major inspiration and contributor to this blog.
