Going Green

Smoothie chronicle number two (not counting those two way early forays)

Kale, spinach, pomegranate seeds, three mini oranges, three dates and water. Poured over ice.

The pomegranate seeds in this one didn’t grind to nothingness so it’s a little seedy.p

There is enough orange not to taste too green.  No wonder I don’t like salad.  Greens taste like nothing. And yet looking at it you would think it’s yucky.  It’s not.  There’s just a hint of orange to it.


A second try with the pumpkin muffins used a little less pumpkin.  Just enough to please the dog. Baked at 400* for 18 minutes.  Now they look like this.


An entire box of dry cake mix is 1700 calories plus one can of pumpkin is 350.  Makes them about 170 calories each.  After I eat the first one I will use them as the sleepeating treat- the hardest food to conquer. I also will look into mini muffin pans and baking cups.

Tomorrow looks to be one of those send the kids to school and wIt for the roads to get bad later kind of days.  Those are the worst.

Oh, the food-before-sleep trap. I crave something savory at that time of day, something that goes with the night glass or two of wine. Wasabi peas are a fairly low-cal treat, but I got tired of them. At least we haven't had Trader Joe's salt & pepper potato chips in the house for several months; those things are absolutely irresistible to me. And about a gazillion calories.
