Well, the Food Lover’s Cleanse is coming along. I’m enjoying following it as well as diverging from it. On Day 2 I only used the cleanse as a template, and chose a variant path. For breakfast, I ate the leftover soaked oatmeal and topped it with whole milk yogurt, walnuts, and unsulphured dried apricots.
I love the Blenheim apricots from California that I get at Trader Joe’s, and especially that they are unsulfured. I much prefer them to the Turkish apricots, too.
The rest of my meals were full of leftovers. Lunch was leftover kimchi pancakes, and lentils with yogurt and caramelized onions; dinner was more leftover lentils, cheese grits, butternut squash, and sweet potatoes. I remember last year’s cleanse having an incredible amount of leftovers by the end of the week. This year I want to keep that in check by eating more of the current leftovers.
The best part about this is that food isn’t being wasted.
More to come!
