A few notes so far:
Not feeling broccoli without some sort of sauce. I usually like it with a red sauce or some garlic sauce like I used to eat all the time at the Bamboo House in NYC.
Ground flax seeds are a pain in the blender. Every morning after making my UltraShake, which has two tablespoons of ground flax seed, I end up fighting with the blender as I try to wash it. Sticky little dudes. This morning I had the brilliant idea to stir them into the glass AFTER I poured the shake into the glass.
I'm still in love with Sweet Potatoes.
I made a simple lentil soup last night for tonight's dinner. I was a little dubious of how it would turn out as I forgot to include the garlic when I was sauteing the onion, carrot and celery. I ended up doing it as the soup was simmering and added then. For dinner tonight, it was actually tasty and very filling!
I bought a bunch of fresh dill yesterday to toss with some cannellini beans, olive oil, lemon and salt. The fresh bunch was $1.99. The bunch in a little plastic box was $2.50. Duh! That was an easy decision. Why do stores do stuff like that?
That's about all I've got tonight. I can't believe I'm already heading into Day Five!
Goodnight, dear Internets!

Yay! You can do it, *fish.
Could you use flax meal instead of grinding flax seeds? I think it's the same stuff.
Yeah, I am actually using ground flax seed/meal. I'm not grinding it myself. It just wants to be sticky when it's in the blender with all the shake mixins.
i buy flax seeds and grind them in the coffee grinder... works perfectly... no fighting.
oh, i see. the issue is not the flax grinding. when i was making the shake, i used the food processor (my favorite appliance in life). since the blade is easily removable and not sticking out into your shake, it may also cause a little less fighting. *though i have always tried to shove almond butter into the kids' diets and avoided it myself, i actually came to enjoy it through this cleanse:)
