Somehow I missed the boat on keeping my daily diet updated, so here is a weekly summary instead.
We started Week 2 of our detox which meant eliminating meat and grains. Basically, we are just eating beans, nuts and vegetables now. It has been interesting, but still full of adventures yummy food.
Here are some of the highlights from this week:
Breakfast have been most challenging, but we discovered the ease and glory of almond milk.
Simply soak a handful (1/2-1cup) almonds overnight or longer to sprout them, changing the water every several hours or so.
The next morning, blend them up with a couple cups of water. Strain and then blend them more if there are still chunks. This yummy milk has a much stronger almond flavor than its well-preserved counterparts and it can be sweetened by blending in a date or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
It makes awesome smoothies, but the almond meal "oatmeal" is also a great breakfast. Warmed up in a pan similar to oatmeal, toss in some raisins or dried fruit and then top with fresh berries and additional almond milk. Delish! And it keeps you full for the morning.
Lunches varied between elaborate and leftovers.
The first lunch I made were Falafels with Greek Salad and Tahini Sauce.
Other lunches have been more like leftovers....
Here are a few of the highlights of the dinners we made this week:
Strawberry, Roasted Asparagus, Walnut, Jicama, Arugula, Avocado Spinach Salad with Balsamic Dressing
Garam Masala Pink Lentil Soup
Slightly Spicy Red Beans with Sweet Potatoes, Jicama, Pepitas, and Guacamole
Jalapeno Butternut Squash Soup
Red Bean Chili- quick and easy!
Deconstructed Hummus Salad with Tahini Dressing

Easter Detox Day
We had one day left on "week 1" of our detox so we were determined to eat lots of our favorites and pig out a bit before Monday when Week 2 and more eliminations were in store.
The day was uneventful until our late lunch/early dinner aka Easter Supper. We enjoyed an Asparagus-Potato Spanish Tortilla/Frittata. Spinach Salad and Barbequed Chicken. For dessert we had an Avocado Chocolate Mousse with Strawberries. Which I highly recommend trying at some point but also keeping in mind it is made with Avocados and thus can sometimes taste like Avocados. The creamy texture though is enough to keep you wanting to keep tasting it.

Breakfast again was Granola with Almond Milk, Raisins, and Pecans.
Lunch came way late after swimming (way too hungry!) but it was delicious- Chocolate-Banana-Nut Smoothie and Tuscan White Bean Salad with Tuna and a little Lemon-Olive Oil drizzled on top.
For dinner, we had the most lovely guests and they said, No Chicken and No Fish- oh my. What to serve? We decided on a Sushi Party and it was a hit!
We started with Miso Soup with Tofu and Green Onions. A Seaweed-Cucumber Salad with a Sweet-Spicy Dressing- I just threw it together and it was fantastic.
We also made a huge pile of Sticky Brown Rice with a salad bar of little bowls of full of:
Carrots, Cucumbers, Green Onions, Beets, Mangos, Red & Yellow Bell Peppers, Avocado and Slices of Smoked Salmon (for the fish eaters). We used pieces of foil as our sushi rollers- very simple and easy and everyone had a great time.
Then our guests presented Dessert- which we just adored. They took slices of Banana dipped in hot-runny Honey rolled them in either Chopped Peanuts or Almonds topped them with either Blackberries or Mango chunks and then drizzled on Whipped Coconut Cream & a Sprinkle of Cinnamon. They were lovely and delicious.

We finally dug into the Granola I made topped with Pecans and Raisins with some Yogurt as well. We also have been drinking Flax with Juice over the last several days- not sure if I had mentioned that. It is easier to drink than it sounds.
I had the fortunate of meeting up with the Denver Tweet Girls. What a lovely group of Women- I was impressed by each one and look forward to getting to know them all better.
We went to a Hacienda and upon scanning the menu realized it would be a touch challenging to come up with a dish sans dairy (what? -no cheese & sour cream!) wheat and corn. I settled on the Spicy Tacos (just ate the filling-no tortillas) which were just lovely with a huge dollop of Guacamole on the side- definitely needed a creamy accompaniment if the sour cream was not coming with my Mexican dish. The Black Beans were there as well and I really enjoyed the soupy, earthy flavors.
The evening we spent at a coffee shop dilegently getting work done on our computers with a Big Hot Cup of Rooibos. We also brought a few Cocoa-Energy Balls in my purse that we nibbled on.
By the end we were famished and we stopped by Whole Foods for a lovely piece of Salmon that Xerxes grilled up with the Red Rocks Rub from the Savory Spice Shop. I sauteed and pressure cooked some Beets, Onions, and Collard Greens. We topped the Salmon with finely chopped Mango- which was so ripe and delicious it needed no assistance.

4.9.9
This morning started with Xerxes at 5:55 saying loudly "I cannot sleep". Turns out that was the time he woke up. Surprisingly enough I was wide eyed and ready to be awake as well. We eventually made our way to the gym where I swam another satisfying mile. Which basically meant I was starving upon coming home. I sauteed up leftover vegetables Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Potatoes, and Broccoli. Add a touch of Nutritional Yeast and then dump a few beaten Eggs on top for a lovely Scramble. Xerxes made another Smoothie with Strawberries, Hemp Protein powder, and more. We are planning to explore some new smoothie flavors. We'll see how tomorrow goes.
I was full enough that I didn't require lunch well past cooking for my clients. I had a great time putting together there meals:
Pistachio Crusted Chicken with Strawberry Salsa
Filet Mignon with Leek-Cabernet Sauce and Smashed Red Potatoes with Broccolini
Citrus-Soy Glazed Salmon with Edamame-Noodle Saute
Wish I could have tasted the Filet- It smelled so good... fortunately, most of the rest was okay for me to taste.
I came home and tossed together a Tuscan White Bean Salad which is just lovely full of red bell peppers, kalamatas, toasted pine nuts, artichokes, and more. I found a small piece of leftover chicken and it completed my lunch.
After an appointment I came back ready to eat more and determined to make Energy Bars. Instead I came up with something more like Energy Balls rolled in cocoa powder. They are so amazing and we will be eating them in the days to come. We are either completely sugar deprived or I just created a new staple recipe. Xerxes came home and seeing them seemed less than impressed upon tasting one he was ecstatic. A hit!
Dinner was lovely too. I did Pistachio Crusted Chicken with Strawberry Salad and a dollop of the Tuscan White Bean Salad on the side. We both adore the Pistachio Chicken and the pairing with Strawberries is just perfect.

4.8.9
Continuing our detox... I must say physically I am feeling wonderful. Xerxes is still working to get the caffeine out of his system. Which is quite an intense detox within itself as we are discovering!
At my early morning meeting I had a pile of fruit, pineapple, grapes, melon, etc. and a mini pile of sauteed potatoes things.
For lunch, Xerxes came home and I cooked up some white beans in my Pressure cooker. Sauteed some Rainbow Chard with Onions. On top of those I served some fresh chopped tomatoes and an egg. Drizzled Balsamic and the leftover Orange-Mint Sauce on top. It was lovely and satisfying.
For dinner, I made this Salmon with Avocado Remoulade. It was amazing. I roasted up potatoes and my favorite Brussel Sprouts to go along side. We were stuffed, full and totally satisfied.

Determined to do a bit better with our detox, we started our day at 6:30am where I swam 1 mile. Whoa! I was so ready for a nap afterwards but instead Xerxes made us a Banana-Flax-Walnut Smoothie and I headed out the door with a Cocoa Mole Lara Bar in my pocket which I ate promptly.
I had a lovely client who I cooked for and made:
Creamy Mushroom Roasted Chicken with Artichoke-Mushroom Risotto
Chipotle-Tortilla Soup
Balsamic Chicken Salad with Walnuts, Cranberries and Blue Cheese
Blackened Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa and Chipotle Cream Sauce
Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Meatloaf with Scalloped Potatoes
For dinner I made a sauce with Tomatoes, Broccoli, Spicy Chicken Sausage, Kale, and Celery that we had over Brown Rice sprinkled with Almonds.

4.6.9 Detox
The first day of our detox. We were so focused on celebrating the day before that I did not organize the week very well. I also managed to eat all of the leftovers the night before so I was basically far from hungry.
We started with a Banana Smoothie with Flax Meal and Walnuts. Oddly enough I had a meeting at Chipotle which turned out to be a reasonable place for the detox as I just had them fill my bowl with vegetables and anything else I could have. Very satisfying.
For dinner, we were unprepared and far from home. We went shopping at Sunflower Market and ended up having Roasted Chicken and Roasted Kale- which is one of my favorite ways to eat Kale-- simply toss with a little olive oil and salt. Preheat at 425 and roast for 8 minutes. It is crisp and chewy all at the same time.

4.5.9 Pre-Easter Day
We decided to celebrate the food part of Easter this past Sunday instead (Palm Sunday). There were various reasons for this including the fact that we planned our detox to start on Monday and I would be sad to celebrate without Lamb and Sweet Stuff, which is unfortunately not part of the detox.
What a day for food! Easter is truly my favorite holiday and the anticipation of it made me wake up several times throughout the night, like a little kid waiting for Christmas. I went to the grocery store early and tried so hard to resist not saying Happy Easter to everyone. Fortunately, it was an early Sunday morning and only a few of us were up and shopping.
The night before I had prepared the Pashka which is a delicious Sweetened Cheese that accompanies the Kulich that I was started Sunday morning bright and early after I returned from the store. It was a bit of a production and other than the fact that they were much shorter than the normal Kulich I remember the taste was unbelievable, especially smatthered with the sweet Pashka. We took pictures and the recipe is in my other more recipe focused blog.
Because there were so many egg whites leftover from the 8 egg yolks used in the Kulich I decided to throw together a Pavlova. We bought fruit and oddly enough we had some leftover whipping cream in the fridge, so it was actually a simple and lovely dessert to put together... after of course whipping the eggs for about 10 minutes and then praying it wouldn't crack or darken, which it did slightly. When mounded together it was hard to notice and the taste in my mouth made all my worries go away.
The Cocoa-Mint Roasted Lamb came together next and the recipe is posted as well at the recipe blog. We created a Cocoa-Mint Rub that encrusted the lamb with Savory-Sweetness. To accompany the lamb I made an Orange-Mint Basil Sauce, because lamb should never be far from its best friend Mint. I also quickly roasted some asparagus to create the Orange-Roasted Asparagus, which I highly recommend trying this recipe the next time you have a bouquet of asparagus ready to eat.
We had friends over and fortunately it was a Potluck, which included Orange Sweet Potatoes, Creamy Scalloped Potatoes, Avocado-Tomato Salad, and a Lemon Glazed Cheese Cake. We topped everything off with some Challah and ate until we finally had coffee to warm and calm our bellies from the exciting food.
What a great way to say good bye to all the foods we will refrain from having over the next several weeks and I can't wait for the Detox version of this Easter coming up.

4.4.9
The count down was on for our Monday Detox Start Day, so Saturday was focused on eating lots of stuff we couldn't eat for the upcoming 3-week program.
Basically, for me that would mean meat and bread. We also were preparing for our pre-Easter Brunch on Sunday which meant shopping at Whole Foods during lunch. Which is a crazy way to shop (hungry!?!) but we were relieved with the generous samples including Habanero Cheese, Habenero Mac n Cheese, Chicken Wings, and Smoked Trout Spread. We satisfied our need for meet and cheese with a Roast Beef Sandwich on Challah bread with Horseradish Mayo.
We were pretty much full, but decided that the abscense of sugar and dairy fat would be disappointing as well and so we split a Brownie Mousse Parfait. We didn't come close to finishing it and our sweet tooth was more than satisfied.
We managed to leave Whole Foods without any plan for dinner... who needs dinner when you have a Brownie Parfait to get you by?
But, we ended up making Hamburgers at about 9pm (we are also thrown off by the increase of evening light) It was one last ode to meat and white bread. They were satisfying enough.
Sunday is to be the ultimate feast though.

Late on Thursday night we decided to join our friend Kraig and his kids for a morning of skiing. Since we were not food-prepared for this we decided to treat ourselves to Cafe 13 in Golden in the morning. We enjoyed the Italian Scallion Sandwich on an Everything Bagel and a Coconut-Carrot Muffin. I also had a Ginger-Spicy Chai Tea.
The day was not my favorite weather conditions, wet heavy snow and I was a bit exhausted. Lunch came early and we split a Hot Dog with Sauerkraut (my favorite topping!) and Kraig gave us a generous slice of his Sub Sandwich. We also enjoyed a chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie and Coffee for dessert. Not the best day of ski eatin' but not the worst.
That evening we had plans to go to a Cheese & Wine event, but at the last minute as we were driving into Denver we changed our plans. Being in Denver, we ended up at Il Vicino where we shared a Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Pizza and Caesar Salad. I enjoyed a LosDos Syrah and Xerxes had one of their award winning Ales.
After a lovely movie snuggled on the couch (it was a tear-jerker) Xerxes began frantically looking for dessert. Scavenging Vanilla Ice Cream from the freezer we scrapped off the freezer burn and dug in to finish it off.
There are clear signs as I write this and look at yesterday's post that we need to go shopping...
I look forward to my menu improving dramatically!

Today was a fabulous example of not eating well. Breakfast somehow came and went without me and so I inhaled an egg with toast around 11am, before running around town for meetings again. I met with Adam Thodey of Purple Avocado to chat about business and his new & exciting Box Lunch Special that I highly recommend, but I had a most dissatisfying Iced Green Tea at Panera Breads that was insipidly sweet. After whining long enough, Adam suggested I swap it out. The Black Unsweetened Ice Tea was a dramatic improvement.
I managed to leave Denver during rush hour, so upon arriving home my blood sugar had dipped just low enough for me to inhale a rather large Bean Burrito with Pepper Jack Cheese. Vegetables seemed to time consuming apparently on this less than appetizing day of eating.
Fortunately, the day ended at our friends Mary & Brian's house where a large bowl of Feta-Guacamole was the center piece of the evenings E-day Fireworks.

April Fool's Day and I managed to eat out every single meal except for the two bites of brownie right before bed.
The morning started with my BNI meeting where I had a pile of Fruit and a couple bites of some Cinnamon Roll thing that I smothered with Cream Cheese in order to balance the amount of sweetness that was about to peak my blood-sugar through the roof.
For lunch, I met with my fellow BNI member and most favorite Acupuncturist Dawn Margowski at Las Margaritas in Belmar. We felt it was a bit too early for Margaritas but she enjoyed a most lovely dish of Mole Enchiladas and I still obsessing over the Crispy Tacos I made for my Monday client had a Crispy Chicken Taco and Beef Taco with some Beans on the side and a fabulous dollop of a Corn Pudding thing that accompanies almost every dish there. Clearly hungry I ate almost every last drop and proceeded to not want anymore food...
Even when I met up with two of my Golden girlfriends Mary and Lisa for a long overdue dinner at Table Mountain Inn. I was still full from my lunch 5 hours earlier, but salad seemed the best way to balance the Mexican feast. I had the Santa Fe Salmon Salad with Mangos, Peppers and more. I really enjoyed this dish and look forward to enjoying it the next time I go to TMI. Yum!
The evening ended with the very last brownie from Xerxes's Monday batch and a glass of milk.
