Ultimate Reset Day 9: Seaweed, Chick Peas, & Millet...Oh My!

Day 9: Seaweed, Chick Peas, & Millet...Oh My!

Today we were introduced to a plethora of new foods.  The morning began with perhaps the only meal thus far that has left me starving and my stomach grumbling more than The Grinch at a Christmas cookie decorating contest, mashed chick peas.  20 minutes later my stomach expressed its disappointment.

Luckily for me, it was followed up with what turned out to be one of my favorite lunches to date...pinto beans & brown rice.  I know it doesn't sound like much, but wow was it filling and tasted great, although almost anything would've tasted great after eating chick peas for breakfast.

Yes, this was breakfast :(

Not only did I eat a tasty filling lunch, but followed that up with another unexpected tasty meal for dinner: sweet potato & red pepper bisque soup.  Fly like a butterfly, sting like a mosquito, this soup had my taste buds dancing around like Muhammad Ali...I love sweet potato!

We spent a great deal of time Tuesday night cooking and preparing meals for the rest of the week with plenty of new foods to sample: Nori Seaweed, gomasio, miso, etc.   We noticed a trend in the meals.  Dinner for one day is always the scheduled lunch for the next day.

The day ended with my 3rd attempt to find millet at the grocery store.  I'm convinced millet doesn't exist and it's a ploy to get me out of the house.  Another unsuccessful attempt leaves me with my temptation of the day from the Whole Foods parking lot...

There's still a little bit left!

Now if I only had some peanut butter & honey to go with it...mmmmm

Quotes of the day:  

"Yummy Soup!"

"Can I borrow your millet?" (first time in my life I have ever said this)

"I get a free pass, it's release (phase) week" (response to having a little gas)
