Yes! You heard it right, Goat cheese! Real, 100% and bonafide dairy! Incidentally my first intentional foray away from pure vegan since before my cleanse a couple weeks ago.
Morning smoothie was the "Laughing Gorilla" courtesy of my Vitamix cookbook. 2 oranges, a banana, romaine lettuce, ice cubes and a half scoop of protein powder to fuel my morning workout. Delicious!
In the name of simplifying things a little bit, I\\\'m trying to prepare only one or two time intensive recipes a week. Ergo endive salad with goat cheese. Add some mixed greens, lemon juice, olive oil, and a dash of Himalayan salt and you\\\'re done. The cookbook give you some instruction on plating it nicely, but if you\\\'re pressed for time, as I was last night, you can just throw it together and dress it. Truthfully, the overall bitterness of the endive was a tad overpowering, and I would probably add a more flavorful vinaigrette I stead of the simple lemon juice and oil the book suggests.
(if you\\\'re interested in the book by the way, it\\\'s "Serving up the Harvest" by Andrea Chesman. One of the things I enjoy most about this particular book is that it is divided up by season, making it easy to find in season ingredients without scouring the globe.)
Sorry to report I forgot to take a picture of this one, but tonight\\\'s entrée is going to be what one of my raw cookbooks calls "easy sushi," and if it comes out looking anything like real sushi, I will be posting several photographs.
I\\\'m now off to get a facial from the brilliant skin care specialist, Renee Baldo, of Unlimited Potential in North Haven.
