It’s rare that our house is without eggs. I like to keep two cartons in the fridge at a time, partly because we make a long drive to get them from the farmers’ market and partly because we go through them quickly.
Nevertheless, today I woke up to a fridge without eggs. Oh no!
Thank goodness for smoothies. I keep a hefty supply of smoothie-boosters on hand, for emergencies like this. Today’s ingredients: coconut milk yogurt (no cow’s milk for this momma), unsweetened coconut flakes, 1/3 avocado (leftover from Isaac’s breakfast), chlorella, blueberries, raw vegetarian protein powder. I’m not going to lie, it was delicious. Would I rather have had eggs and greens? Yeah, but this worked out nicely. Guess who mooched a few bites? Even with sharing, this carried me a loooong way.
With a garden full of greens, I just couldn’t resist making a lettuce wrap. I burnt the bottoms of the sweet potatoes fries while tending to my wild man, but I wasn’t about to throw them out. Lunch hit the spot, leaving me refreshed, not heavy. Ingredients:lettuce, turkey, local onion-chive goat cheese
I managed to work in some more greens for dinner, though not as many as I’d hoped. Time was short, so we ditched the side salad and went simple. My husband and I shared a mexi-stuffed pepper. With the outrageous cost of organic bell peppers (not yet in season…so not yet ready in the yard), it felt very risky. I’m pleased to report that we loved it! Ingredients: yellow pepper, quinoa, onion, garlic, avocado, backyard greens & cilantro, spoonful or salsa, organic corn, spices
I went to be delighted that Brian loved dinner. It’s been a few years, but I can still clearly remember his initial reaction to quinoa, and it wasn’t a good one!
Peace be with you,
