Is Green the New Ginger?

NEVER! :) But this post does have a lot of green going on..

Happy Friday Everyone!

We have a possible snow storm coming in Saturday night and normally I would be excited.. but, I have a lot of Christmas shopping to do and who wants to be snowed in on the weekend? Monday, sure, but Sunday.. eh.

Anyway, this week I have continued with my kale salad cravings. In fact, I ran out and can't have one for lunch today, but I am going to Whole Foods later so I am going to have one for dinner! This one had lots of left over goodies from a salad I made at Whole Foods over the weekend. Mostly shredded veggies and sprouts.
Green juice has been a staple lately as well. Along with my new favorite way to get warm and get energy at the same time: ginger, lemon and cayenne. I make enough for a shot glass and take it down! My belly feels warm right away and I get that little tingle through my veins. I love it! This juice was: romaine, kale, lemon, ginger, cucumber, pear.
I had a doctors appointment late one day this week. After driving all the way there and back (it's only a couple towns over, but there is major commuting traffic that time of day), I didn't feel like cooking. So T and I picked up food from our new favorite salad place. They have sandwiches and soups as well. All of there soups are vegetarian and unless noted, vegan. This one was a white bean and spinach soup. So delicious!
We also got salads. Mine was mesclun, carrots, mixed beans, broccoli and sun dried tomatoes. YUM! Perfect meal after a good doctor appointment. I really like my new gastrointestinal doctor. He really knows Crohn's and doesn't like too strong of medications. I feel like he is working with me, not against me like my previous doctor.
Yesterday for lunch (since I was out of kale), I diced up an avocado and added olives, pickles and some seasonings. I could eat avocados everyday for the rest of my life and never complain! They are one of my favorite foods!
Have a great weekend everyone! Check out this Zukay giveaway going on over at The Voracious Vegan! I love Zukay products, filled with probiotics, great for my stomach!
