…and happy Thursday to those of you not celebrating T'giving in the states.
I am very happy [and thankful] to report a
2lb loss this week! Yippee!
I am hosting today, so everyone's going to have a "legal" McD T'giving feast [not all MWL though]. Here's what's on the menu:
Ceasar salad/pumpkin chestnut soup/acorn squash stuffed with kale+almond risotto/roasted veggies/mashed taters/chickpea gravy/banana-cherry chocolate "ice cream"/peach cobbler.
The
banana ice cream is fantastic—learned about it at the five-day program in santa rosa.
6 bananas, frozen in 1" chunks
1/2 cup soy milk
1 tblsp vanilla extract/essence
2 tblsp cocoa powder
Process fruit and soy milk in a food processor until just smooth, and of a soft-serve like texture.
Add cocoa powder and blend. Serve immediately [this can be frozen but tastes much better fresh].
This will not work in a vertical blender, you will end up with a smoothie.
I alter the recipe to include 1 cup frozen, pitted, dark cherries, and leave out two of the bananas.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in fruit salad.
