There are two "Condiments" that really do seem to rule my world right now. Guacamole and Hummus. They're like the savory rulers of a diet primarily based on vegetables. They're both creamy, delicious, and between the two, you can eat them with almost anything. You can eat them both with chips or pretzels, on sandwiches, in salads, or with veggies.
Last week, desperate to use up some avocados that were quick approaching their way-too-squishy date, I made my fist Guacamole. Thanks to Alton Brown for the recipe. I just so happened to have all the ingredients in the house already. It took only about 10 minutes to make, but the payoff of a homemade Chipotle-style burrito bowl was delicious.
Things got interesting after I sealed up the unused Guac for overnight storage with one of the mother seeds in the container (which I heard prevents the oxidation of the Guac). It didn't work. The next day we went to open it up and the stuff was green and brown like a cow patty. It smelled OK, but I'm too much a slave to my eyeballs to ignore the poo-like appearance.
Last week I did pretty well. I did have my first coke in two weeks on Friday. I had some spicy cheese with my lunch on Wednesday, and a piece of meatloaf Yesterday. It was all delicious. Back to the program today, though!
For lunch I have spicy vegetable soup, lunch pitas, and a banana with peanut butter. I also have a handful of roasted nuts thrown in the mix as a snack.
