dear emily,
i have really been trying to replace bad fats and sugars with good fat
and VEGETABLES. aaargh. i just can't make myself eat enough
of those nutrient rich foods, so i've had to be creative. for instance,
instead of slathering mayo and mustard on my sandwich today, i made
a spinach pesto with coconut oil.
think that sounds gross? well, you're wrong. it was delicious and full
of good fat and green veggies. "i'm dreaming of a" whole grain pasta
and vine ripened tomatoes drizzled with this yummy pesto.
while i wrote those two puny paragraphs, my husband just ate half of
my sandwich. here's the super easy recipe:
an entire package of baby spinach
3 garlic cloves
1/2 cup parmesan
1 t. dry mustard
1 t. apple cider vinegar
1 T. honey
ground pepper
1/4 c. coconut oil
tiny dribble of olive oil as a token to normal pesto
squoosh it into your food processor and season to taste.
you're gonna' love it,
lea
