Got busy on the weekend, thought I'd make something different so I knocked up 2 salads I hadn't made before.
A Sweet potato salad with bacon, peas and spring onion and a light chilli mayo dressing and a Broccoli and lentil salad with spinach and garlic and a balamic and chili dressing.
Having leftovers for lunch today with some slices of cold BBQ beef. Yum

so made up two different mexican chicken dishes tonight.
Dish No 1 Tabasco chicken with black beans and brown rice, sort of cooked like a risotto, comes up noice.
Dish no 2 Chicken with cannellini beans and capsicum, with quinoa and red rice mixed through.
Dinner tonight and lunch for the next couple of days.
Guess which one I followed a recipe and which one i made up as I was going along.

Yesterday was kale (no stalks, that's what makes it bitter) lemon, mango
Today I had kale, beetroot, pear, and celery.
The secret is a blender that can really spin it into a fluffy, no stringy bits, concoction, my new one makes them as good as a boost juice. 1 cup cold filtered water, 4 kale leaves, 1 pear, 1 small raw beetroot, (chopped into about 2-3 cm pieces) and 2 stalks of celery, add in that order,
I was feeling a bit flat and bloated, and in 1 day, my skin looks brighter, and the muffin top is history! About to hit the bike track! Looks windy, but hey, life's a challenge!
(Don't mind people mocking my smoothies, I just show them my collection of obstacle race bibs! Didn't see too many 51 year olds running the 10klm section of the stampede last week! Or even the 5!)
Just saw a tshirt that has my name all over it!
I run. I'm as slow as a turtle stampeding through peanut butter, but I run!

I was thinking of getting one of those slow cold press juicers that are meant to preserve the "goodness" so to speak. I have a vitamizer, a bar stick, a food processor but the slow cold press might be the way to go.
I seriously need to eat less. I'm suffering from Bulimia minus the purging!!

Optimum 9400 blender and optimum 400 slow juicer. Google it and go to the froothie site, 5 year std warranty on both. And at the moment if you buy 2 things you get $50 off. That's the deal I got last week.
The juicer is brilliant, I've got a my juicy or something and its crap! Leaks and can't handle things like celery!
Cheers
(That's also where I got the 7 Days to raw plan)
But I can send you the PDFs if you pm me your email!

I have been a juicer for many decades and it is a great way to get some nutrients and keep the weight off especially if you are busy. Looking after my very sick brother meant I looked stuff up on Sandra Cabots websites from time to time. She says if cleaning juicer is a turnoff every day, make extra, and freeze in glass jars. Drink as soon as defrosted.

I got the Nutri Ninja IQ last weekend, still figuring out how to get best results.
http://www.ninjakitchen.com/nutri-ninja-auto-iq/
My logic is if you can pulverise the whole thing into liquid you keep the fibre that you throw away with a normal juicer.
My initial experiments indicate I need to add more water, but I'm making a hell of a margarita.

I like that glass idea, bloody brilliant ta! Yeah the juicer is a pain to clean, so I generally make extra. The blender is easy. I'm using it 3-5 times a day ATM!partypie wrote:I have been a juicer for many decades and it is a great way to get some nutrients and keep the weight off especially if you are busy.

Thanks for the tip
Anyone else interested, have a look at the movie fat, sick, and nearly dead. Well worth a watch, oh and it's an Aussie guy, not a yank!
