I Won't Quote

For a long time, I have been wanting to start a post by saying I have some news! And finally I can do this. I got into the university. Master's of law. I really didn't expect this, because I thought I failed the test and the interview was also super short, it was difficult to imagine a good outcome. But ha, I go in! The results weren't supposed to come out for a few days, but I checked and they were there. It was such a nice surprise. :D So starting from the fall, I will be a student again and I can use student discounts and all this, so much fun. Also it is the time where I really need to buy a new computer, but this will be super difficult, I know nothing about technology. (I have a computer by now, this post is just very late, sorry guys~!)

On Tuesday I got my second dose of vaccine and after this I went to the Pikakari beach with a friend, we swam a little and then went to eat in a Mexican place called Ancho . It was nice and all, but I got too full. And I took enchiladas with beans, at first they brought me a version with meat. It was not very nice. And I only discovered it after I took a few bites already. Of course they apologized a lot and they gave me a drink for free, but still... it was quite awful. :D I don't think I ate meat, though, because I tried other things on the plate first and my friend asked what was inside the enchiladas and then we discovered it. Food in general was kind of average, nothing too special. We also got jalapenos with cheese, but they were probably from a can and had this marinated tasted. Anyway - I wouldn't go again, but it was still nice to try it. Also, if I hadn't tested it, I wouldn't know if I would like that. I didn't let these wasting calories thoughts to come.

At the beach we also had ice cream, it was so nice. We just sat on a towel and enjoyed some breeze and the sun, ate this and talked. Anyway, it was a really pleasant Tuesday. :D

On Wednesday morning when I woke up, I felt like I had been run over by a train. Probably by the vaccine. Or like I had a really bad hangover. Firstly, I was so tired that my alarm had been going for 20 minutes before I opened my eyes. I had a dream my coworker called me and I didn't want to answer, so I didn't understand this was actually my alarm. :D Even though my alarm and ringtone aren't even the same.

And my whole body hurt in general. I felt really weak. I actually wanted to go to them gym as well, but I just knew I had to give myself some rest and this is what I did, even though I did feel a bit guilty. Free evening and I am doing nothing? I haven't been to the gym in a while? All this regular self-talk. As my weight has yet again gone up by 2 kgs, it is especially difficult to deal with it. This also didn't help me when someone I knew started randomly telling me a story about their weight loss. I have also told them several times that this irritates me and I don't want to talk about these topics etc. I know this my my own error and I should be over it already, but it still makes me feel awful and I feel like you don't care abou me if you don't respect this? I have not commented on it much, but I just... don't want to deal with these kind of people. :)

But for the challenge, I wanted to eat packaged foods only. I know food that you have cooked is much better for you, but I thought I would try this, because it can't be that bad.

I set out the menu a while ago already, because I have been planning this for a long time already. But there has been so many events and stuff where I have eaten out. It would be weird to take a prepackaged salad out in a restaurant or at someone's place, instead of having what a friend has made or ordering something from a menu.

But anyway, I finally tackled this challenge.

Breakfast

I know, I know, it is nothing special. At first I wanted to take rice porridge, but I ended up with semolina one and I just was so pleased. I make semolina porridge very rarely, so this was a good change. :D

• 

• 

I served it with 150 grams of frozen blueberries and some Biscoff, because this combo is heavenly. I was a bit doubtful of the Biscoff at first, but it was super good together. :D It was sweet enough and just nice. I heated it up in the microwave, because no one eats cold porridghe (though I probably would, I just love porridge, to be honest). :D Anyway, it was beautiful and a little bit different start to the morning. Even when I was in bed, I thought that oh man, I am too lazy to make my oatmeal, but then I remembered today was the challenge day and it was fine.

I of course also had a coffee, but I didn't buy a premade one. :D Actually I wasn't even hungry in the morning, because I had some potato salad last night where I added literally half a kilo of potatoes, and then I also downed some watermelon. I felt like I was going to explode, but it was all so tasty I couldn't hold myself back. In the evenings I have a bottomless pit instead of a stomach, I don't understand. In the morning and during lunch I am fine with less food, but in the evenings I could just eat and eat. It really annoys me that I don't even know what a normal portion of food is, and also the fact that I am never full. I have thought about making more calorie tense less volume foods, but I just want to eat for a long period of time.

Anyway yes, I already have an idea for my lunch, I hope it is available in the store. Yesterday I saw it, but I didn't buy it in advance. If there aren't any left, I just need to figure out something else, so I am hoping for the best. :D

And also I wanted to get several desserts as the evening snacks and enjoy them throughout the day, but I think I will be having all of them in the evening. Because of me and my appetite. I still need to get a few things from the store, I hope they haven't run out of the items. I didn't want to go to the store yesterday as I felt really weird from the vaccine. But today after work and before gym I can go and get some stuff.

Lunch

For lunch I had this prepackaged tofu-glass noodle dish, which was pretty good. It could have done with more sauce and salt, but it was fine. Also it was completely vegan! In addition to this, it was maybe a little small, but worked out fine. This is really different from my regular routine, so it caused some stress, but oh well, I managed and I am still alive.

The price was quite high, almost three euros. So I wouldn't get it again, but it was worth to try. I think I should make something similar to take to work with me, I would save some money and also I have nothing against eating same food for lunches. Still at bit weird with dinners.

Today after work I would like to go to the gym as well, I let myself rest yesterday. But we shall see how this goes. I don't want to make it into an obligation, if I don't feel like it or if I don't have the time, that is fine. :D But I can't go tomorrow, because we are going to Maritime Days with my sister and her friend. I think it will be fun though, last time it was. I probably will only go on Friday, though it lasts throughout the weekend. :D

Dinner

For dinner, I don't know, why, but I felt like shrimps. And then I took some prepackaged bowl with them. Again, the price was really high and not worth it, but at least it did taste good. I added some salt and the dressing it came with, and it went down a treat. But I ate really fast, because I was super hungry by that time, so I can't really talk about enjoying it much. Also it had too much corn, which was super sweet. I generally like corn, but not that amount. But all in all it was pretty good. :D

In general, prepackaged food is not bad. I think in Estonian stores, you can make some really healthy picks, can't say anything bad about it. Of course there are unhealthy things, but mostly these are with meat, which I don't eat. I am still traumatized from going to this Mexican place, haha. :D But it happens, no worries.

Dessert

For dessert I actually had two things. I finally tried this farmer's vanilla pudding, which was fine. Not my favourite and I would probably not get it again, but it was quite nice still. I had it with strawberries, my friend mentioned that she had that kind of combo and it was good. Yes, it was indeed.

Then for the second thing I finally got my hands on this chocolate-coconut curd cream. It was quite nice, but could have been more chocolate-y and coconut-ey, but oh well. :D I think I prefer my style of curd cream dessert bowls with frozen fruit and berries and some granola or cereal. But I am glad I finally found this in the store and got to try it.

This day didn't leave me hungry at all, quite the opposite. I would gladly have all of these things again, but it is quite a waste of money, because you can make the same things so much cheaper. At least the salads and bowls and porridge. The dessert was most worth it, I would say.

It was good, because I didn't really have to make anything myself or think about what to make. It always takes me a long time to make up my mind in the store, I could walk around for an hour, I am not kidding. Also, I did go to the gym yesterday and it was good I didn't have to spend time on making food after that.

So now it is Friday and I am going to the Maritime Days with my sister and her friend. I didn't really find any info on who offers what food there, but I hope I will find something.

Lately I am so freaking sleepy all the time. It is normal for me to nod off when I am on the bus to work. Luckily I haven't missed my stop, yet. Anyway, I can't wait to go to sleep. Today I feel like my coffee needs coffee. :D

Which was surprising though, is that the small store near my work has quite a good selection of food, if you need something premade. I usually make a salad from the buffee or I pick a vegan wrap though, so it was nice to try something different for a change. My weight, well, is higher, but this is not the result of this one day of eating packaged foods. Also on Friday morning I had my normal porridge, for lunch I am going to have another wrap again and for dinner I will eat at the Maritime Days. It is nice maybe, that my weight is higher, so I can challenge not going back to my old routine and don't want to leave early to get home and have something I make. I can manage this.

My head is completely empty from challenges now, I have NO IDEA what I will write about on Monday. Also, today and next week to go and then I have a VACATION. It will only be two weeks, but hey, it is still something.

We plan to go to Taevaskoda and also to the Peipsi lake - with this, I also wanted to ask, are there any vegan/vegetarian places? I didn't really find any myself, but oh well. Worst case scenario is that I need to pop by a normal supermarket.

But now I have to start working in order for the weekend to arrive and then I can finally enjoy life!

There is lot to talk about Instagram and food. For example that I have so-called "food instragram" or I could tell you about what kind of food instragrammers I follow and recommend others to follow as well. Maybe at one point I will post about it... have to remember this idea.

But this time I wanted to talk about a challenge I did, where I added polls to my Instagram stories, which made up my menu. :D

I did it quite low key, as I had ideas for food, but I let people pick sides or stuff like this.

Anyway, we started with the breakfast - porridge. People could pick between rye flakes, rice flakes and millet flakes. I would have liked rye flakes the best, because these normal kind of grains are my favourites. But the winner was...

Rice flakes! But well, hadn't had them for a long time. :D Next I had some additional questions about my breakfast. For example what kind of berries do I add, what kind of flavouring do I use and what kind of add-ins I also add.

It was chai spice, from berries it was strawberries and from flavourings peanut butter. I still added banana myself, because I love bananas and bananas taste good. :D But anyway, most of the things were picked by followers. It didn't go exactly as I hoped. It was difficult that people picked chai spice, as if you looked at the calories, it was most calorific. :D I was surprised that redcurrants only got 3 votes, and I didn't know what to think about flavour drops. Anyway, it was really nice to have a different porridge for a change. I should make this poll more often, when I can't pick anything myself. :D

I ordered some steel cut oats from iherb, but I just cannot find the parcel???!?!?! Regarding iherb, I ordered some new things, which should arrive around 21st of August. So I will show what I got here as well. :D

The next question was about my morning snack, where I let people pick between chocolate and rice waffles with apple and cinnamon, which are one of my favourite snacks ever. And despite what I thought, rice crisps won!

Next I think was lunch, which was sandwitches and of course my second cup of coffee! I found some more coffees I have at home later, but I let people pick between regular coffee, Christmas coffee, blueberry coffee and choco-mint coffee. And choco-mint one won, yay! My favourite. :D And regarding sandwiches I asked if I should have them with cheese or cream cheese and with tomato or cucumber. :D I don't have a picture of it, as honestly, people who can take good pictures of sandwiches - I applaud you, please teach me as well. :D

The order of these pictrues is a bit messed up, but it doesn't matter really. You understand. :D I think it is not as important.

Then it was time for my afternoon snack, where I let people pick between peaches and cherries. I got new kind of peaches - yellow ones. Which were white on the inside. I hadn't tried these kind before. This also lets you know that peaches won. :D

Next, as this was Saturday and a challenge, I wanted to know if I should enjoy wine or beer. In general I have become such a wine-person recently, but sometimes I would like to enjoy a craft beer. Also I think this question had most votes. :D Anyway, wine won! And I wanted to use this to advertise my favourite white wine.

The same brand has really good red wines as well, highly recommend. But with hot weather I prefer white.

Then it was dinner time where I was going to have potato burgers with cabbage filling and salad, and I asked if my salad shall be with apple cider vinegar or mayo (mayo won) and if I should add pickles, sauerkraut or both (both won).

The day was ended with some tea, which wasn't my favourite, but I still had it. I guess I would still only give it 4/10. My friend sent me a parcel recently and it had a lot of different teas again, so I have been trying those. :D

After dinner I legit had about 1,5 kilos of watermelon, but I didn't add any polls regarding it.

How was this challenge in general? It was really fun to come up with the questions and see who voted for what. I would like to repeat this when I go out to eat, to help me pick something from the menu. :D But I don't have many followers and I would probably have to wait for forever to make a decision like this. :D But well, it is a possibility.

It was difficult as well, because it seemed that options more difficult for me were constantly winning. But it is good, it was supposed to be a challenge.

I still haven't written about the small goals I set to myself and how I have been doing with them. My last goals were to try new vegan products - I have done this. I try to have a new thing every week. I think in a future post I will tell about vegan burgers I have been trying.

Second goal was to break my routine and third one was to enjoy my vacation. I think I managed quite well with those. As I described previously, my eating disorder was paused and well, it went as it went. Routine, meaning three meals and three snacks, was completely broken. Which was kind of good, as not that I am back the routine is bavk as well. And I have started overthinking again. But at the same time I have been taking easier. Also I have gained weight. Regarding this - I hope I am not getting negative feedback that I haven't been eating enough or somethng. Because even eating like this has made my weight go up. At the moment I am heaviest that I have been in many many months.

Regarding this I want to set a new goal, which is REALLY DIFFICULT.

Anyway, the goal is:

I will move less. I will try not to fir 25 thousand steps as I did for some time. I won't try and hit 20k steps either. Or 15k or 10k. Okay, okay. This is maybe too much, but I have been reducing my steps by a thousand each day recently (it is crazy how much time I waste on JUST WALKING AROUND. I feel weird writing it down...). But anyway, I will try to aim for under 10k steps. It would be perfect if I could manage it. Anyway, next goal is to deal with this need to move. I thought I can start setting up a new bullet journal or something, instead of walking. We shall see how this goes.

Also, are there any good food Instagrams to follow for inspiration? I don't want to follow fitness accounts, because these are triggering, but something like recipe accounts would be lush. You can recommend me some! Especially Estonian ones, to be honest.

I had an opportunity to spend some time home alone (my sister went to my parents') and thus I decided to do another challenge to blog about.

I am still obsessed with porridge, especially with the sweet kind and for breakfast. For this challenge I decided to try eating it for 3 times per day, and make savoury porridge for lunch.

I of course used my favourite brand oat's, Veski Mati's.

Breakfast

For breakfast I of course picked sweet oatmeal. I made it with banana and milk and added some frozen mango. Also topped it with nuts-seeds-raisins-goji berries, for it to be more filling. Also added some vanilla flavoured drops. Mmmm.



At the moment I feel like I could eat this exact thing for 3 times. :D

Lunch

About this, I was the most doubtful and it took me a long time to make a decision about what to have. Finally I decided to have salty oatmeal with mushrooms and onion! I googled a lot of recipes, and discovered that a lot of people make it with mushrooms and cheese, it sounded good. Firstly I thought of making it with sun dried tomatoes, but as you all know, mushrooms are my recent obsession.



It wasn't actually disgusting, but it also is something I would not like to try again. :D During every bite I expected sweet taste, but it was savoury, really strange. :D Oatmeal texture bothered me a bit and during having it I thought that I could have had buckwheat porridge or rice porridge as savoury option. :D But well, for this challenge, it was all about oatmeal. And now I have the answer to this question - do I like savoury oatmeal.

Has anyone ever had it ? With what? :D Give me ideas (even though I will probablt never become a fan of savoury porridge....)

Dinner

Dinner had to be sweet, because well, I am a fan. I decided to make it into a dessert and added oatmeal, banana, milk, cocoa powder and frozen raspberries. I actually stole this idea from my friend, who made something similar and I couldn't stop thinking about it. :D Finally tried it now.



It was so nice. :D And the thought that I get to have more porridge the next day, was also good. :D

Snacks

I have to have snacks currently so it meant I needed to have something besides 3 big meals. I thought for a while if I should stuck with the oatmeal theme, or make another decision and have something else. At first I decided for something else, as I didn't feel like baking (I briefly thought about making oat muffins), but I managed to in the end still stuck with the theme. :D

For example for my first snack I had oatmeal cookies. Store bought, but I just love them. :D

For the next snack I had mug cake with oats, using this recipe. This is with peanut butter and oats. I did not add cinnamon because at first I was thinking of using it for my last snack, to have all the different things, you know.

But for my last snack I had some pomelo. They are really good currently and to be completely honest... I was maybe over oats a little at this point. :D For the day at least, the next day was new beginning and all that. :D

What did I discover? I felt full for longer than I usually do. Regularly I do get hungry sometimes or at least feel like eating, which did not happen this time. So this was good I think.

Of course what else was good was that this day was rather cheap. Oats are cheap and most of the things I added were not expensive as well (and I like keep frozen fruit in my fridge all the time, you can have a lot of cocoa for one container ets).

I have been thinking of making a similar challenge soon. How about 24 hours of rice? Bread? Something else?

My friend gave me a good idea on what challenge to do. It is to try different countries' foods. She also said I could make Estonian foods, to which I decided to combine the two and make it into a challenge!

So first one was... Estonia!

Potato mash with grouts, fried onion and sour cream - vegetarian dish

The most difficult thing about this challenge is not to waste food. I try not to and hope for the best.

To make this dish, I cut up some potatoes and added them to a pot with some water, then added some handfuls of grouts and salt. At the same time I fried some onion.

When everything was ready and boiled, I mashed to potatoes and grouts with a fork in some remaining liquid and served it up with some sour cream. This is Southern Estonian food, usually not vegetariand/vegan, but I made it as such.



I am sorry about the pictures - the lightning is quite bad in the evening and I don't have anything to help me. :D I hope you will forgive me, the idea is what counts!

Anyway I really liked this food and my sister also enjoyed it. You could say I nailed Estonian food and we will make it again if we are in a hurry and need something quick.

Vietnamese style spring rolls in rice paper and peanut butter sauce

I have made springrolls once before, but they kept breaking apart. So I thought that I still have some rice paper at home left and I should use it up. The idea for this is from Estonian vegan recipe page. I made something different from it, but for an idea, it was good.



My version is probably not really Vietnamese, but I used some salad mix, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper and green onion. For the sauce I mixed peanut butter, soy sauce and garlic powder. This is definitely not an authentic recipe, thus I am calling it Vietnamese style.



Not the easiest to eat it, but they held together better than last time. Or not really. :D I cut them in the half as well, as I probably made them way too big.

I really liked the sauce, I have used the same sauce for pasta, and it was really good. Especially with pasta where you add bell pepper and tofu, I recommend to try it. I didn't measure up the things for the sauce, but it was good for dipping. Don't make it too liquidy!

My sister again said she liked it and wanted to have just pure sauce later. :D So I guess this was a success as well!

Thai style Pad Thai

The recipe is again from Estonian vegan recipe site. I followed it quite well this time, which I usually don't do.

Pad Thai seems to be really popular so I am surprised I haven't made it yet. Anyway, I was lucky - rice noodles were on sale. :D



Making this was super easy and fast, definitely way simpler than last night's meal. Anyway, it was ready super fast and tasted awesome.

I really like tofu but I quite rarely use it. I think I should add more of it into my menu, it has good macros. And it is such a good and versatile thing, it takes on seasoning really well. You can even make vegan cheesecake from tofu. I have never tried it sweet, but it sounds good, maybe I should try making something.

I was doubtful about adding lime to Pad Thai, but it really fit there well and I absolutely loved it. You also guessed it - my sister again approved. :D

Mungoa bean sprouts are really good! I got a whole box of them and added them in the end. It tastes like fresh peas. Anyway I am really glad I am doing this challenge, because I have managed to try so many different things and there are still some good things to come.

Italian style mushroom pasta

I thought that I want to try something Italian. This recipe is from another Estonian vegan recipe site. Anyway, I don't understand how I lived so long of my life without mushrooms!



Pasta is also one of my fear foods, so this day was a challenge in many ways. At the same time I can say that I have made pasta 3 times in last two months, and I am still alive. :D

Pasta itself was amazing. Again, I was doubtful of adding lemon to it, but it was a-ma-zing! At the end of this challenge I asked my sister to pick her favourite and she said she can't decide between the potato mash and this. :D Even before the last day she asked me "Signe, hey, if this challenge is over, please lets make these foods again." :D Great success.

Mexican style Tex Mex salad with sweet potato

Obviously it is not Mexican food, but I found this recipe on the Estonian vegan site again. :D Me and my sister love all kinds of salads and "bowls" as we call them, so this was an easy choice.



I didn't add an avocado, simply because there weren't any good ones at the store. And I was too lazy to check another supermarket. Let it be, it was good anyway.

For the base I added salad mix, black beans, red onion, tomato, corn and lime juice. Then I roasted some sweet potatoes and added them.



Seasoned them simply with salt, pepper and chilli. This was the end result:



I think it looks quite good and colourful and it tasted well. I added some dried coriander (I think it was also in the recipe, I didn't have fresh one).

This challenge was super fun. It was a bit annoying trying to take pictures, but oh well. :D Usually I asked my sister to do the dishes while I was taking the photos and then we could enjoy the food together.

I have no idea which was my favourite. Maybe pasta and potato and grout mash, even though Pad Thay was really nice as well (and completely new, I have never used sprouts or lime). I really loved the tex mex salad too, because I loooove sweet potatoes (even though I bet it would have beend good even without it + with avocado). I liked spring rolls the least, but probably because they were breaking apart so much. :D Though the sauce was amazing, recommend to try it.

Next challenge is already coming soon and I have also thought about one more, which I will try next weekend. :D If there are any more ideas, I would love to hear it. Please tell me in social media somewhere or write a comment here.

What more - I wanted to clear that I didn't waste any food during this challenge. I managed to use it all up. So I was a good planner. This also shows that no, you don't have to have same foods all the time and cooking can actualyl be fun. I recommend to try similar thing.

Also I am sorry that the recipes haven't been authentic. But I am glad I managed to try all kinds of vegan alternatives and discover so much new. :D

It got hot already forever ago and surprisingly the heatwave is still going strong. Today I also went to a free yoga class at the beach - this was really neat, the first ever yoga lesson I actually liked, but I managed to get super sunburnt. (Also, I promise there is the post about 7 day yoga challenge coming too!)

Anyway, on one of those hottest days I decided to try and eat only raw foods. It was too warm to even have much of an appetite, so it seemed simple.

Yeah. Simple. Maybe. I am a complete newbie when it comes to raw food, so I decided to do this challenge for 24 hours and I was not super strict, as I could have been. Also, I was conflicted - should I still be allowed coffee? Luckily, most of my friends decided that yes, it is ok. :D I mean, me and coffee - we cannot be separated!

Estonian version of the challenge is available here.

Morning - I still wanted to get my porridge. I mean, I have never been a huge smoothie person. Yes, I did have smoothie bowls during my no spend week challenge, but it was more like a dessert. To start off the day with a smoothie... I dunno. Breakfast is generally my favourite meal of the day and I hate it when I can't enjoy it. :D Smoothie for me is like a drink - I usually have it quite fast and after this, I feel hungry again in like ten minutes. I have no idea how much I should drink it. I mean, it is filling, but for a MOMENT only.

I decided to go for overnight oats instead. I did not have the quick cooking ones, of course. So a night before I mixed some almond milk, oats and added shredded coconut as well as cinnamon, raisins and nuts + seeds.

Obviously it escaped me that when I am cooking oats on the stove, some of the liquid evaporates, so the overnight oats came out a bit... watery. :D But it was not bad - the taste was there! I didn't add any other flavourings (like peanut butter powder or chai spice or cocoa), because I was not sure of the rawness. However, I am still not convinced I managed to be all raw. But hey, I did do my best! Apologies, if you feel offended - please don't and teach me instead. I didn't have much time to make research and plan beforehand as well, because it was just intended to be simple and fun, spontaneous challenge.

Anyway, I added some strawberries to my overnight oats and drank my coffee happily with almond milk. If nothing else, at least it was 100% vegan day. :)


I didn't feel hungrier than usually, even if I was walking around at the Maritime Days festival near the sea.

Snacks - Still, I wanted to snack for a bit. Mainly also so I could get more water in - I am really bad at drinking enough. For snacks, then, I had apples, pears and tons of watermelon. And I didn't really need much else...


          








Lunch - This was easy, as I tend to have this kind of stuff at home anyway, and during days like this I (and my sister) often have something similar. Or just as a side. This time I made a bigger size of course.

          





The proper lunch, as pictured at the beginning, was actually Romaine lettuce, salsa sauce, marinated onions, cucumber, tomato, bell paper and salad topping seeds mix thingy. I would say the seeds really add a nice texture. Also I did have another cup of coffee, because... how could I not? And if (almost) everyone agreed I'm allowed to...

Dinner - I wanted to try something I haven't made before, so I actually went to the store, hoping I will get sudden inspiration. :D I mean, I guess it was semi-successful.


I picked up a huge zucchini - which I do not recommend, because it was almost impossible to make these zucchini noodles with my spiralizer, but I managed - and an avocado, as they seem to finally be in season and the price is okay. Generally I am not an avocado-person (no idea why, these are so good!), so I was very excited at myself for picking a good one.

So I made this pretty decent salad/raw pasta. Zucchini and added homemade guacamole (my version had tons of garlic, tomato, whole avocado, salt, pepper and lemon juice). As a drink I had some carbonated water. I used to be super obsessed with Coca Cola, but I am trying to limit this and move to water. Currently my favourite is Aura's cowberry (oh, didn't know that word) one.


          











Dessert - I guess I could have been more... innovative or something, as this is my regular dessert/after meal snack anyway. :D It had black cherries, babycarrots, cherry tomatoes, an apple and a pear.



In my opinion, the hot day was quite successfully survived. I didn't have sister with me on that day, but now that she has been home, we have made the zucchini-avocado thing for like... 5-6 times already. And she also loves it.

What did I learn?
That I actually am an avocado person.

Would I do it again?
For sure. If I pulled myself together and made some proper research and planning, I would really like to try it at least for 3 days. Just to get a feeling of how it would be.

During that day and the next morning I was great. I was feeling quite frest, to be honest.

Anyway, share some ideas and... would you try it?
