Today I looked longingly at a box of Wheat Thins for maybe a minute and a half. But I did not yield to their carby power! Only a few more hours. Not sure why I'm having so much trouble with Passover this year, but I certainly am.
I would like to take a moment to thank a Passover savior of this year.
Terra Chips are awesome in general, but especially so when potatoes are pretty much your only source of carbohydrates. I think they make kosher for Passover potato chips, but let's not get into particulars here. I'm not that strict. Potatoes, oil, and salt are the only ingredients, so it's good in my book. Although, I did see many Terra brand chips with active yeast in the ingredient list! Leavened much? So unnecessary.
After days and days of salads, I decided to switch it up by cooking my greens. Do I know how to think outside the box, or what? I had had a very snacky day (oh, working from home, why do you let me snack me so much?!), so I opted for a light dinner of two of my favorite foods.
OK, three if you count the Annie's BBQ sauce that I am more or less in love with. I made baked sweet potato fries with EVOO, paprika, and an overly ambitious dash of cayenne, apparently. Oops. I also bought a nice stiry-fry greens mix that came from Satur Farms, which is a local greens farm out on Long Island. I like Earthbound Farms a lot, and I think they're a responsible company, but I would rather get my food from NY than CA. (Hmmm, after a little research, it seems like maybe they also have Florida farms. Still better than Cali, I think!)
The mix contained bok choy, swiss chard, rapini, kale, kohlrabi, and I think some mustard greens. I just put a little canola oil in a big pot, covered to let the greens wilt down a little, then removed the cover and tossed 'em around a little. Served with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and pine nuts. I was CRAVING greens and that totally did the trick.
I regret to inform you that I am looking at a bunch of other great meals on my camera and wondering how I managed to forget the USB cord. (I came to the "mobile employees" office today for the first time in months.) I will either get to it later, or just let it slide. We'll see how delicious I still think they are later.
Sticking with the theme of favorites, I have a new sorbet! It was on sale at Whole Foods, so I splurged, but take a look at this!
That COLOR! It's like mostly raspberries and has 3g fiber per serving. YAY for at least kind of nutritious dessert! The top is a screw-on, which means I might be rinsing this out and using it for storage of things I buy in bulk, lentils or something. Reduce, reuse, recycle! Nerd alert. Also, in case I wasn't seeming nerdy enough yet, I taught myself how to write a macro in Word yesterday using internet instructions! AND it made my day. Onward to bread!
