The end.
The cute (tiny!) puppy was named "Butters"... as in, multiple butter.
Her 13 year old owner went nuts when she found out that Leigh-Ann was from Canada.
"Justin Bieber is from Canada!!"
I love my life.
1) I realized that I need to get my hair cut. I'm going to set up an appointment with either Holly or Jenna while in The 'Peg. They both have rockin' hair and I'm just kind of bumbling along with over grown bangs and a chin-length bob that's grown down to my shoulders.
2) I made chicken soup from scratch. It kicked ass. I ate two giant bowls for lunch and I plan on having it for breakfast tomorrow, too!
I love soup. It's one of my all time favorite foods. It should actually have its own group... right at the bottom of the pyramid.. four servings of soup per day. Yes, ma'am!
I have a set of plastic oriental soup spoons from IKEA and I use it to eat any and all soup that sets up camp in my kitchen.
After making a huge pot of the delicious elixir of yum above, I swiped the meatless bones (organic, I do say!) and I decided try and squeeze out every last drop of delish and made an even yummier broth with red cabbage, garlic, the bones (of course!), white wine and fennel seed. The best part? IT TURNED PINK! Gotta love pink stock! Mauve attack by red cabbage! I bet you could get a picky eater to eat "pink princess soup" with this broth (minus the wine?)!
3) I made brown rice blueberry-walnut pancakes, bacon and eggs for dinner. It was cozy inside and chilly out and it made the perfect early-fall meal. I feel like I have a lead weight in my gut, but hot-damn it was good! It was actually a two-in-one meal, as the pancakes were more of a dessert. A delicious, topped with pastured butter and organic maple syrup dessert.
I have left-over bacon (applewood smoked, no preservative, no nitrates and Organic! Boo-yea!), and I'm dreaming of the BLT I'm going to have for lunch tomorrow!
4) I like to talk about food. Did you notice?
Hope your day was swell. Sleep tight!
(That's a salute. It kind of looks like I'm making hand-crocodiles, though.. no?)
Chicken soup (from scratch!)
organic chicken drumsticks ((bones and skin, too!)), filtered water, chopped carrots, onions, celery and garlic. Boiled for two hours. Removed sticks and discarded bones and skin (gross!) and chopped meat. Fished out all veggies and removed. Added chopped chicken back to the broth and also added fresh carrots, celery, onions and some brown rice. Then, I let it boil until the rice was cooked, added salt and pepper to taste and some chopped cilantro for some bang. BANG!
1/2 a grilled cheese sam.
Rice bread, raw sharp cheddar and pastured butter. BAM!
Tasty-delicious local, organic Nectarine.
Blew my sock off.
Remember... one foot = one sock!
Lunch = A fajita-ish bowl!
Sliced yellow bell peppers, red onion, and teeny white mushrooms in an olive oil fajita-style sauce (a mishmash of "Mexican' spices), grass-fed beef sirloin with raw pepper jack cheese and red wine pan sauce. ( I LOVE pan sauce. Sometimes I even lick the pan once its cooled. That's normal... right?) All topped with some fresh cilantro, avocado slices, salsa and some locally made tortilla chips that could make a grown man cry.
The end.
I like to eat. Here's what I've made today.
Breakfast:
Two pastured, hard boiled eggs with a bit of salt, homemade Cinnamon Blueberry oatmeal (1/2 c. oatmeal, 1 c. unsweetened vanilla almond milk, cinnamon, 1/3 cup frozen blueberries, a shake of salt, 1 packet of Stevia, a bit of pastured butter) and a super lovely purple carrot. Yum!
and
Lunch!
A huge-tastic salad (farmer's market organic red leaf lettuce, another organic purple carrot ((aren't they pretty?!)), organic cucumber, and a chunks of avocado with a quick honey mustard dressing) and a grassfed steak, complete with A-1 sauce (crack sauce! So yum.) and pan sauce (olive oil from pan, a bit of red wine, black pepper and a bit of salt, boiled down). A big glass of water, too. Oh! Plus some really summery watermelon that I snarfed after I killed this plate-0-food.
Are you hungry yet?
No recipe, just some food porn.
Sesame Chicken, from scratch!
Organic chicken thighs, house made breading (spelt flour, brown rice crispies, garlic powder, cayenne powder, salt , ginger powder), an orange juice/sesame oil pre-breading dip, fried in extra virgin olive, coconut and sesame oils, with organic carrot chunks, organic peas and bamboo shoots with a little bottled sauce General Tsoas sauce (Trader Joes!) and organic sesame seeds.
Balanced it out with some lemon-spiked soda water and watermelon slices!
Mmmmm... and, that was lunch.
