This week I made a berry cobbler that I saw on Danica's Daily using TJ's Vanilla cake mix which you mix with 12 oz of sparking water. Interesting! It is a nice fruity dish! I've made the cake a bunch of times for my students and LOVE it. This was the first time I was checking out the ingredients - the first one is sugar. So.. I don't know if I 'll buy that again!
Tomato chickpea soup I made and had with Dave's Killer croutons...
This was inspired by Lidia's porcini chickpea soup. It had 1/2 can peeled tomatoes, olive oil, and a cup or so chickpeas or white beans, with rosemary, parsley and oregano, salt and pepper. Simmer on the stove then blend away to make it smooth! I didn't measure too much but it ended up really tasty!
Cottage cheese pancakes from the eat-clean cookbook. It had cottage cheese, egg whites, flour... I added some flaxseed. I'll have to post the recipe when I find it. They were moist and decent!
This week for master's swimming it is outside since the indoor pool is being cleaned. It is pretty cool, I like swimming outside. It reminds me of easy living summer swimming days (age 6-18). Running is going ok. If I can run outside, it is great. I ran outside with Nick on Tuesday, and inside the rest of the days so far. I'm excited for Abby is back from her adventures and we hope to do a mini long run this weekend.
I wish I could find a pool where I could swim outside. I know it's not practical in Boston but it is so much more relaxing!
ReplyDeleteWow, that soup sounds awesome! I think I will have to try it and hopefully it will be a fall/winter staple for my lunch at work!
ReplyDeleteGood job on getting some swims and runs in! Have a great Thursday! :)
That soup looks wicked good! Hang in there with eating clean! Some days I feel like I need to empty my cabinets!
ReplyDeleteIs eating the last of the peanut butter straight out of the jar clean eating? I only got one spoon dirty.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ DC Running Mama's comment!
ReplyDeleteYour such a good eater.. i need to come live with you and have you teach me how to be awesome! :)
ok my eating is totally out of the window but i can't get into my hardcore state either - workout wise! :-/
ReplyDeletehope you've been able to crack the whip on yourself a little :)
Glad you liked the recipe! You know that is one thing I struggle with too is the ingredient list on cake mixes. I figured it was the better of the two evils (check out Betty Crocker mixes). I think sometimes in having "treats" it's ok to not be as strict on the clean eats.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Eat Clean Diet and did that all last year. That is what got me really started on eating clean. I even belong to their message boards - great group of people :)
You are doing awesome 80% clean for the 20% not - be proud of that! Nothing says you have to be extreme in any way :) Think of cooler 2 or 3 for the best balance.
