Despite my early bedtime, I’m still tired today! Maybe I need to up my Vitamin D supplement now that its fall? Another day or two like this and I’ll be putting a call in to my doctor…
Breakfast contained another first for me….
A Nature’s Path Hemp Plus waffle, toasted and topped with almond butter and pumpkin butter. And….
My very first “Green Monster.” I know, I know, its pink instead of green, but blame that on the raspberries! This one contains a big handful of spinach, a handful of frozen raspberries, 1/2 vanilla fat-free soy milk and 1/2 skim milk, and ground flax. I think I’ll be having more green monsters in my future…
In other news, I planned some extra meals into the menu this week. I’m hoping to make a bunch of foods from whatever is in season now, freezing it, and having it to reheat when local produce becomes scarce and exams, etc make me too busy to cook.
So what can you expect to see this week?
- Beet Risotto, from Bella Eats
- Spaghetti Squash
- Acorn Squash Chili, from Meghann’s blog and this site
Do you have suggestions for other dishes I can make and freeze for winter?

Awesome!!! hehe they dont always turn out green, but they are just as tasty, right!?
You rock, I can’t wait to see the beet risotto — her recipes are amazing and I know (hope!) this one will not disappoint! I have made her peach bread (holy yum!), lemon yogurt cake (from Orangette) and enchiritos — all AMAZING!
another green monster that looks delish! I need to try one asap!
can’t wait to see all your dishes that you make this week!

congratulations on your first green monster!!!!!
Yep, I like it! I was a little thrown off the first few sips, but now I can’t even tell I put spinach in there and it tastes like a regular fruit smoothie!
