Some things worked beautifully and some not so beautifully during this week of unprocessing. Stir fry from fresh veggies - beautiful. Bread made with inactive yeast - not so beautiful.
1st up - Random veggie Stir Fry. My husband said he could never do frozen from a bag stir fry again. The zucchini, squash, broccoli chicken and onion on top of rice was excellent. Crisp, fresh and all in season.
The second meal...started out as a great idea. Fajitas. Red peppers, bell peppers, onion and beef. Really what could go wrong. Oh yeah....homemade tortillas. I attempted this blogger's recipe. Sounded easy enough. They were a complete disaster. Yummy, but not very fajita make-able. I have to work on making the dough balls larger and flatten, flatten, flatten.
My homemade salsa was a hit though. Better than anything store bought my oldest said.
We also learned a lesson with snacks. It is easy enough to keep ready made cereals and crackers and the like always stocked, but with unprocessed foods I have to plan! (Lesson learned!!) My weekly shopping trips and subsequent snack prep have just barely covered us from week to week. Lesson for this week, make snacks on Sunday and Wednesday so I have enough to eat going into the weekend.
Homemade pancakes was one of my favorite snacky foods. We had it instead of graham crackers for our first of three breakfasts (my kids can eat!).
As if to read my mind about eating unproccessed foods my gym posted these pictures on their Facebook page.
