my friend tracy recently introduced me to a vegan friend ben! he also loves to cook, and thought it would be a cool idea to have sunday dinners. maybe not every week, but as often as possible! the next one is scheduled for the 4th. I also love dinner parties, and I'm thinking about coming up with some solid meal plans and hosting dinners at my house.
again, I'm trying to get healthier. I've gained over 10 pounds since last year, mostly due to excessive drinking. I've cut back on drinking substantially and now I'm trying to cleanse my body as much as possible! my roommate jackie and I have decided to get creative with salads. believe me, I love a salad when done right, but I honestly almost never eat them at home. I end up going out to eat and paying an arm and a leg for a salad I could've made myself, instead haha.
tonight's creation was pretty good. I might actully make it again sometime. I used what I had on hand.
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 1 pink grape fruit
- 1/2 c pecans, chopped
- a couple handfuls of organic dried cherries
- olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- splash of red wine vinegar
wash and rough chop the romaine, place in a large mixing bowl. peel and section the grapefruit, and cut the wedges into chunks. chop the pecans if they're whole. pour in a few tsp of olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar, the lemon juice, and cherries. toss everything together and serve!
tip: I bought the cherries from the bulk bin at whole foods, which saved me some money :)
