Hi all ! I have been a busy girl! I did a day at Lollapalooza on Friday. I am going to tell you right now I did my damn best to stay perfect on my cleanse, but I didn't. I did the good college try though! Packed my stuff for Lolla but some of the stuff they had there was too tempting to pass up and I am all about living life, you know? But here is the lesson: You can fall down, but you have the choice if you get up or stay down. I chose to be a bit naughty on Friday, but I didn't let that keep me down OR keep me from finishing my cleanse. On Saturday, I started right back up! Clean as could be. And here's the thing I noticed on Friday. When I ate naughty, I IMMEDIATELY felt bad. Seriously. I went to go see a mellow band, laid out my mat and took a little nappy. At Lollapalooza. Surrounded by 200,000 people. After eating so clean, that small bit of gluten, fat sugar, etc. really affected me! I will say though, we had a really awesome vegan lunch before the festival at Karyns on Green. If you're in the Chicago area, check it out! And . . .I did go prepared . . .
Drank my Orenda Shape Shake waiting for Interpol.
So here we are Sunday. I love Sundays because its usually the day I prepare for the week to come. I did my grocery shopping, made a couple of yummy dishes for next week and I am anxious to share one of those with you. This tasted great right after I made it, but what I love about this dish is that is tastes even better after it has a chance to marinate in the fridge. It keeps a couple of days. Enjoy!
