Happy Sunday! Yesterday was a wonderful day that involved lots of football and a little bit of napping. Cozied up on the couch with a blanket on a cold winter night. Bliss.
Yesterday also involved a little time in the kitchen, which made me happy. For dinner, I made this Asian Zucchini dish from a Good Housekeeping website. Only change I made to the recipe was to add Watercress in with the Cilantro and sprinkle the finished product with black sesame seeds. The recipe was great and I was able to add three new plants to my list for the week.
But y'all, even with all the great things I have had this week, I was only at 33 plants for the week! In the twelve weeks I have been doing the "40 Different Plants in a Week" challenge, I don't think I have ever been this short on a Sunday morning. I tried to think back on my meals this week to see if maybe there was something I forgot to write down during the week, but I don't think I have missed anything. I have eaten leftovers quite a bit, which is good for not wasting food, but not for the plant list.
So, first meal of the day today I needed to knock it out of the park.I blasted past 40 plants this morning with a bowl of oatmeal that was loaded with plants and seeds and attitude! This bowl had oatmeal, chia seeds, flax seed, moringa powder, hemp hearts, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, coconut, cranberries and oranges. Take that plant list! If I don't eat another thing today, we hit 41 on the plant list! Woo Hoo!
Yesterday, I also put together my next batch of Fire Cider to start fermenting! I am guzzling down the first batch - trying to pace myself while we wait on this next batch to be ready in four weeks. I was able to get fresh horseradish root this time, so that is a new twist for my Fire Cider. The picture below is everything that went in this batch. Onion, oranges, horseradish, ginger, turmeric, lime, lemon, peppers and garlic. I grinded in some chunks of black peppercorn, too. You know turmeric loves some black pepper.
Once all the veggies are in the jar, you just cover them with Apple Cider Vinegar and put it on the kitchen counter for four weeks. Shake it whenever you think to do it. Do your thing, Fire Cider. Get to fermenting.
No idea, what the Fire Cider is doing for me, but I feel great and I like it. So, if nothing else it is a little vinegar pick me up during the day!
After the slow, relaxing day I had yesterday I have lots of things to get done today. Presents to wrap, leaves to pick up, house to clean! Monday is coming!
Hope your weekend has been awesome!
