Random Things I Ate Recently

My husband bought me a huge bag of carrots from Costco. I used a few and then kind of forgot about them. I took the bag out today because they were starting to go bad. I didn't want to waste them, so I ended up juicing almost a whole bag of carrots. I think it was around 5 lb of carrots. So this morning I had carrot juice instead of my normal kale/apple blend. It was funny because my husband said, where's the apple juice this morning? Sorry babe, but there's just carrot juice today. For my carrot juice, I like to add a few spices to change it up a little.

My Carrot Juice

2 cups fresh organic carrot juice

dash of ground cinnamon

dash of ground cardamom (be careful with this spice, it's strong)

dash of grated nutmeg

less than 1/8 tsp ground cloves

Ice

Pour all into glass and drink! I was thinking about the flavor of this juice with the added spices, and it kind of resembles carrot cake! So, I am thinking that if you were to add a creamy milk to it like hemp or hazelnut, it would be like carrot cake! It's just a thought.

I love antique stores, so last time I went to Nebraska I stopped in quite a few. I bought this old wooden bread box with this cute warming tile inside for $1 I think. I love it!

Sun-dried Tomato Focaccia

3 cups unbleached white flour

2 tsp yeast

1 1/2 cups warm water

1 tsp agave

1 1/2 tsp sea salt

1 Tbsp fresh rosemary

1 Tbsp fresh oregano

pinch of black pepper

1 to 2 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup sundried tomatoes

I threw all this in the breadmaker and put it on the dough setting. That look about an hour and a half. Then, I put it on the bake setting, because I had to go to breakfast with someone. Normally, I put the mixture in the oven to make the dough, because I like how it turns out better.

And...

...Junk food!

I had "sausage" patties with Daiya cheese for breakfast yesterday. Today's lunch was a fresco bean burrito and a 7 layor burrito minus the sour cream and cheese with a side of guacamole.
