Ten on Tuesday and Cleanse Days One & Two

Ok, so far, so good!


(Baked sweet potato, roasted brussles sprouts with olive oil and fresh ground pepper, and mushrooms sauteed in Smart Balance.)

How could I be unsatisfied with this delicious dinner?!? Or last night's black bean burger with avocado on a brown rice tortilla? Mmmmm...

The biggest challenge is going to be dinners when I'm cooking for myself AND Travis. I don't think it'll be so easy to find meals that fit my dietary requests and his culinary requests!

So in honor of the successful completion of two days, this week's Ten on Tuesday is ten foods that I love that fit my cleanse eating plan!

1. salad greens
2. rice!
3. avocado
4. steel cut oats with a little drizzle of maple syrup, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts
5. olives - green (especially garlic stuffed!), black, kalamata
   
6. beans - black, northern, pinto
7. squash - zucchini, yellow squash, acorn, spaghetti
8. fruits - peaches, apples, grapes, bananas, pineapple
   
9. all natural peanut butter
10. Smart Balance light "butter" - tastes better than regular margarine!

I was pretty disappointed in a cheese replacement I bought, though. Oh, the taste was just fine, but they aren't vegan...it contains eggs. Strange. But I'm going to continue to eat it, because it is mostly soy, and eggs are listed pretty far down on the ingredient list, and because I don't want to waste it. So I'm putting those in the "lean in" category, making peace with it, and moving on!
