I am a confirmed carnivore so I am dictating this with some trepidation but also with a lot of excitement. I am going to attempt, actually it is more than attempt but at the moment I do not want to use a stronger word, so I am going to attempt to go seriously veggie this week.
Lately I have started juicing mainly because we have had a bumper crop of apples and pears in our garden and I did not want to waste all of those lovely fruit. So I mixed apple and pear juice with carrots, leeks and anything else I could find in the vegetable box. Some combinations are obviously more successful than others. The leeks were particularly interesting as they have a very strong onion after taste which was a bit of a marmite moment
Today I have had:
Juice made of spinach, carrots, celery, apple x2
Lime water
Carrot, sweet potato and ginger soup
and a lovely slice of homemade bread
plus endless cups of my current favourite herbal tea
oh and some of my special crackers
When juicing there is always a lot of pulp and I had the ingenious idea to dry it and make delicious thin crackers in my dehydrator. I also produced a stunning apple cake by just using apple pulp, a little agave nectar and perhaps some raw almonds all or some raisins. Completely healthy of course and a delight to work taste buds. Even G likes both.
More tomorrow!
