Breaking the Detox - Day 6

>> Saturday, February 21, 2009

For this day, I've decided to have wild fillet of salmon on a bed of kale sauteed with garlic.

Its been a hectic day, so I head out to Shelburne Farms to do a hike on my own -- fresh air and no kids ... bliss for a few moments... To cut a long story short, I decide to do a full hike (I met someone I knew who said it would only take an hour). I ended up missing a turn, and speed walking a 5 mile hike - the speed was needed as it was nearly dark. I didn't want to end up wandering around the 1000+ acre farm after dark!!

Anyway, I made it home as it was getting dark, and settled into my salmon dinner with a glass of reserve sparkling water with lemon.

Just to think, only a few weeks ago, I'd probably have had a 1/2 bottle of wine with that. And while I might have been smiling then, I know now that I'm OK without it.....

Detox Supplies

Juice of the Day

Carrot, Apple & Ginger

You will need: 1 apple, 3-4 carrots, and a slice of ginger.

Juice the apple and carrots and ginger slice in the juicer. Serve immediately!

Delicious!

This is a juice that I use as a baseline for other juices. To add more "power" try adding the following ingredients:

- Stick of Celery
- Handful of Alfalfa sprouts
- Some kale, spinach, other leafy greens


Soup of the Day - the healthy way!

Butternut Squash & Orange Juice

Split a butternut squash down the middle, and scoop out the seeds and set aside. Wash & dry and place on a baking tray. Place a tablespoon of orange juice in the cavity. Cover with foil and bake in a 375 deg. oven for about 45 mins - 1 hr. Test the flesh with a fork - when its soft, its done! Meanwhile, while the squash is cooking, wash the seeds, removing fibers of flesh, and place on a baking tray to dry. Remove baked squash from the oven and allow to cool. Pour the OJ into a blender, and scoop out all of the flesh into the blender, discarding the skins. Puree the squash, and then pour into a saucepan. Add about 6 cups of distilled or spring water (do not use tap water, as it contains chlorine etc which defeats your healthy mission). Bring to the boil and its ready to eat!

When the seeds have dried, bake them in the oven for 30 mins until roasted. Sprinkle on top of the soup and serve.

Enjoy!
