Happy Nutribullet Life

Well it has been awhile since I was here. I have been really working at getting my routine back which is working out every other day besides the job. Learning all of my new gadgets and the one above is fantastic.

It makes hot things in 7 minutes no timer just runs by itself just awesome!!!!! Getting ready for fall to show up which it has we are under freeze warnings for the next couple days. I am now running a mile every other day or so and plan on a 6 mile walk this weekend. Got the yogurt from a website and it is the best ever so no more agar agar it is tart, tangy goodness from cashews! I love my cashews, next up to learn how to use some of the other things I have acquired. I am cleaning out a couple cupboards this weekend and will be getting my old coffee pot out to make up some herbal teas to use in my nutriblasts. I love those things and have one every morning. Lunch will now be a soup and a few crackers which is a nice change and easy gee 7 minutes to make a hot lunch! WOW. 

I am also learning to use my Vitamix a bit more also they are all getting used and it is just me here. I am losing my weight and loving it. It does not come off as easily as it used to but at 59 years young well I keep the pounds at bay eating this way. I am pretty raw most of the time though. 

Next up hot chocolate in the Rx it makes smaller amounts than a Vitamix so there are uses for all of these machines and this one they say makes nut butters. I will use my Vitamix for that it has the power LOL. You just need so many nuts though but I am going to give it a try and make some maple walnut butter. 

Until Next Time

Keep cookin'

and Keep it Plantiful

September is here

Well it has finally arrived and you can feel it in the air FALL is upon us. We still have a few summer like days but the mornings are all fall for sure. I am glad to see the seasons here that is why I live here! I am also excited for the foods that are associated with the seasons. I have 11 acorn squash sitting here from my one plant I have up at the garden at work. There are a LOT more on that plant. I have tomatoes ripening in a bowl (yep pick them green they will ripen beautifully) and am stocking up  on seeds and nuts sounds like I am a squirrel LOL. I will share some of the recipes with you but most of them you can find on line anyway so I think I will just do some reviews of recipes and tell you about some of the tweaks I have done for them.

I did do a slurry for my yogurt yesterday I actually followed the recipe but alas it is not quite what I wanted so I will use it in my smoothies. I think if I had just a bit more agar agar though it would have been the perfect yogurt. I have to say this is the best ever tasting yogurt I have ever had it does not go to waste at all.

I LOVE cashews. 

Today is also the day I order my Nutribullet Rx I can only imagine what it can do. I will be thrilled to be able to make soups while I am in the shower after work. I can come out to a steaming bowl of soup at night WOW and it is not nearly as noisy as the Vitamix. 

What are your new gadgets? I picked up a cherry/olive pitter at Bed, Bath and Beyond works super go tmy cherries pitted and in the freezer. I also bought frozen cherries at Costco so now I can also have a cacao cherry shake. I love my Nutriblasts and Bed, Bath,and Beyond sells the superfoods  packets so now I won't have to order online however sometimes it is best as I do have a 26 mile drive and with gas at $4 a gallon well it is not my everyday trip. 

Life is really really good right now and yesterday I made the oat groats from the back of the Bob's Red Mill package sans the oil they are the best ever. I made the mushroom gravy from Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by  Caldwell Esselstyn it is excellent. I did add some dried onion to it but it worked!!!

Today is apple something bought some Braeburns and usually I just peel, slice and toss with pumpkin pie spice and a bit of sugar like a raw apple pie. Today I think I want an apple crisp or something. 

Well that is about all of the news I have for today anyway. 

Oh and I watched Food Matters again and am trying very hard to drink at least 2 glasses of water before anything in the morning working my way up to 2 liters!!! Then coffee time. 

Have a great day

Until next time

Keep it Plantiful!!!!!!
