Slightly Obsessed!

Ok, so I made a variation to the stuffed mushrooms with black beans, cilantro, salsa and walnuts and they were the best yet! I can't get enough of them.

I made a big pot of veggie soup tonight with green beans, broccoli, tomatoes, cabbage, bok choy, celery, onions, garlic, fresh basil, fresh parsley, and cannelini beans. I pureed a couple cups to make it thicker/creamier. My 3 year old ate two bowls of it! I tried pureeing it to get my 5 year old to eat it but he still claimed it made him "shiver." Still, he ate about a 1/2 a cup and said he liked it but still asked for spinach and pinenut sauce pasta. Did I mention we are gluten-free? It makes things pretty interesting around here.

I decided to not buy eggs this week and make these muffins for the kids. Beet Carrot cake: http://www.fatfreevegan.com/desserts/beet.shtml. I omitted a few things (like carrots and pineapple, and nuts) and added coconut flour, carrot juice, flaxeed meal, and rice milk (for B12 sources)...oh and subbed a gluten free blend for the flours. They turned out really nice!

Oh and I am slightly obsessed with greens. I make 2 green smoothies a day (4.5 oz of spinach in each) and I love them! With my salad, that means I am getting close to a pound of greens a day! yay!

Btw, we ran 5 miles today in the rain. It was kinda nice and I felt great throughout....waves were gigantic!
