I needed it this morning. We seriously ate too much yesterday (homemade from scratch biscuits and gravy) and followed it up with some pizza and wine so let's just say I was LESS than chipper this morning.
Your morning person as defined by your astrological sign.
Stretches to the sound of birds chirping, broad smile n their face:
Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Aquarius
Will probably kill you. Violently. With alarm clock, eyes still closed:
Aries, Leo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces, Libra, Sagittarius
I'm a LEO, I also have red hair.
I make my juicer juice drinks with various fruits and veggies, though when using beats use the golden beats which have a much milder taste than their red cousin.
So today on meatless Monday I'm going eating much lighter, breakfast being an Amy's gluten free burrito for breakfast so I could get something quick, leaving me time to get dinner in the crockpot and log on to telework today.
This was my lunch today. I make my blended juice drinks with various fruits and veggies, though when using beats use the golden beats which have a much milder taste than their red cousin. Also go easy on beet greens as they can have a strong flavor. Today I used the rest of the produce from last week (I usually grocery shop on Monday or Tuesday when the stores are less crowded).
This was a great combo though.
3 oranges
1 large cucumber
a big handful of spinach
a piece of celery and a good handful of carrots
Made 1 large glass.
Usually, I make the pulp into muffins, but as cold as it's been I put it out by one of the trees in our unfenced side yard for the rabbit that lives under our big hedge before going back to work.
Dinner is in the crockpot and whether you make it with Veggie "ham" or the real thing - it's really a tasty and super easy pot of beans.
Creamy White Beans (Crock Pot)
Sort and soak 1 pound white beans in water overnight and drain.
place in crockpot in the morning and cover with FRESH water (about 2 inches above beans)
add 1/2 onion chopped or a Tablespoon of dried onion (or celery if you don't eat onion)
1/4 teaspoon cloves (yes, cloves)
a small package of YVES veggie "ham" cut into pieces (added at the end of cooking time)
Cook bean on high 2 hours and low for 4-6, adding in the veggie protein the last hour of cooking. When beans are soft when poked with a fork, remove some of the beans, about 3/4 cup (remove any "meat" bits) and throw in the blender with a few tablespoons of the broth Add back into beans. This is a favorite meat-free meal around here and super cheap to make (sometimes instead of the protein we just add extra veggies such as carrots and celery and season with thyme and a bay leaf instead of the cloves - also very good).
Paired with some stone ground glute free cornbread and a salad this will make a nice dinner.
So take advantage of your kitchen appliances and come up with a healthy meal of your own.
I was not familiar with the morning person signs. I am a Gemini married to a Leo. It all makes sense. (My trainer who is also a morning person is an aquarius.
ReplyDeleteOur appliances last a very long time. We just dust them off every now and again. I know, pathetic!
