Morning:
Un-pictured: Lots of filtered water, and a few cups of coffee with homemade almond milk creamer.
After all that juicer talk this weekend, I decided to dust off my Omega juicer for a change!
Though it does take a bit longer to juice all those veggies, the quality is definitely better–> see how there’s NO foam on my resulting green juice? I love that. Plus, the gentler juicing process means less oxidation of my juice, so I can store some extra in the fridge for later!
A couple hours after my juice, I enjoyed three organic eggs, scrambled in grass-fed butter and topped with nutritional yeast flakes. I used to dislike the taste and smell of nutritional yeast, but lately, it’s grown on me. This combo reminds me of “cheesey” eggs!

Lunch:
A 10-ounce bag of coleslaw, smothered in homemade green goddess dressing, and tossed with cherry tomatoes and steamed beets. I like to let the coleslaw marinate in the dressing for about an hour, to help soften the cabbage and allow the flavors to develop.
A little later in the afternoon, I sampled some new grain-free pumpkin bars!
Pumpkin season came out of no where for me this year (Starbucks seems to make it “official” with their Pumpkin Spice lattes), so I figured a pumpkin recipe was in order soon. These do not disappoint! I made a point of sampling the batter, the finished bars, the glaze, more of the glaze drizzled on the bars…
…you get the idea. Oh, and I definitely licked the spoon.

Dinner:
A large mixed green salad, topped with raw sauerkraut, an entire box of steamed artichoke hearts, and 4 oz. of shredded raw goat cheddar. Dressed with my favorite lemon dressing! I love the texture that steamed artichokes add to salads– they’re almost “meaty.”
Austin and I both enjoyed homemade “Gingerade” drinks for dessert! (recipe coming soon)

Reader Feedback: What are YOU eating this week?
Pumpkin bar recipe soon??
I had the SAME reaction to nutritional yeast at first. Now I carry it around with me. HAHA!
mmmm those grain free pumpkin bars look awesome!
Can’t wait for the grain free pumpkin bars recipe! I love anything with pumpkin!
Yum! The second half of my dinner last night was spaghetti squash that my generous neighbor grew, roasted with some coconut oil and topped with nutritional yeast! Delicious, skin, seeds and all! What’s funny is that I had half of a massive sweet potato first, gussied up with some quinoa and cinnamon first, it was like eating pie for dinner! Dessert first people!
Also, those pumpkin bars look amazing! I still have a half of last years last garden pumpkin in my freezer just waiting for a pumpkin hankering to hit! I wanted to make sure I was prepared! I think it might be time to defrost!
What a yummy day!
Now, where’s the pumpkin recipe?
That pumpkin thing looks amazing!!! Can’t wait for the recipe!!
Pumpkin season caught me off guard as well but I love it! Just made this pudding in the vitamix:
Pumpkin from a can (because convenience is real)
Maple syrup
Pumpkin pie spice
a little almond milk for liquid
half block of sprouted tofu (you’re supposed to use avocado but I’m allergic and tofu is a great sub!)
I love Fall food! Now if only the weather would catch up
Haha, I have been eating a lot of your recipes, no joke. That green goddess dressing is (as my husband’s friend often says) bomb! I had it two days in a row, and the only reason I’m not having it tonight is because I ran out of tahini…doh!
Oooh I am a BIG fan of your eats today! Eggs with nutritional yeast? Must try. I’m also looking forward to the pumpkin bars and definitely need to get a box of those artichokes.
Another request for the pumpkin bar recipe – they look amazing!
The pumpkin bar recipe is up now! And they’re SO good.
Looking forward to the Gingerade recipe. Sounds like something I would really like!
