Eating only fresh produce makes a girl go crazy!

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I went two and a half weeks before going completely crazy. Not knowing if I wanted the natural sugar from fruit, or the processed sugar from a two pound bag of M&M’s. I almost felt like I was tricking myself into feeling the natural sugars from the fruit were awakening my body. Even if I don’t feel sluggish after “clean eating”, I don’t want to feel “out-of-the-loop” about how my body and brain are processing the natural sugars.

I got so confused that I slowly decided to add sugar back into my diet - yes, the processed kind. starting out with once a week (on a Saturday) but then it evolved to Saturday and Sunday, and then it evolved to all day Saturday.

Total weekend binging. That is NOT what life should be, and is not healthy. Even telling myself that vegan doughnuts don’t REALLY count, is delusional.

Hawaiians and the Swiss meet again.

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

hawaiianpaniniSince the purchase of our panini grill, we have been trying to grill every sandwich known to man. Tonight, we made a Hawaiian Panini. I’ve only had it one other place, Wild Mountain Cafe in the Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle. Not to toot my own horn, but homemade always seems to taste better. No stray ingredients, just simple meat, cheese, fruit and bread.

Recipe:
2 slices of Texas Toast
4 slices of thinly sliced ham
Pineapple - if using chunks, cut each chunk in half with a fork so it lays down flatter and more evenly.
Grated Swiss Cheese

Place sandwich on panini grill, shut lid and cook for about 4 minutes or until those crisp, golden lines form on the bread.

Grating the cheese made it act like a thin, cut slice. Not too thick and evenly spread through out the sandwich.

Hope you enjoy!
