It's a New Dawn, a New Day...

Ahhh, Sunday.  A new week.  A new day...new groceries...a whole new beginning.

I started off the day with an IP Pina Colada drink with a little something special added to it.  No, it's not what you're thinking.  I haven't gone crazy and added RUM to my breakfast!!! (That would be awesome! Ok not really but yea...maybe on a weekday...ok no I didn't just say that...) I added...baby spinach!

It was an experiment of sorts...I didn't want to fully commit because I was hungry and didn't want to ruin my drink--I only picked up 3 of them this week for said experiment.   So I added about 1/2c baby spinach.  It was a light, minty green color and if it made a difference in taste it was for the better.  

Lunch...I had the Chicken Ala King soup stuff and some steamed broccoli and cauliflower with seasonings.  I was stuffed.  Verdict is still out on the C.A.K.  It is filling and that's why I wanted it.  Not totally in love with the flavor though.  It needs real chicken in it.  And a crust.

/sigh.

I then boiled up a rutabaga with an onion, chopped...not sure if that's IP (the onion, boiled)...I mean, it's boiled, not sauteed.  Does that matter?  I then mashed it all up and seasoned it and now I have a decent amount of mashed rutabaga for lunches this week.  

I also realized today that I haven't had any celery in the last few days.  That's my go to snacky-snack food when I get cravings.  Maybe that's what's up?  The celery in the fridge is salty...the store closest to home tends to have salty celery...I will be picking up my grocery order after I finish this post at the OTHER store so I will have new unsalted celery for snacking.  I'm really not sure WHY it's salty.  And it's not even good salty...it's like...ocean water salty...and I don't really want salty celery but if I salted my celery it would taste better than the celery in my fridge.    (I just dedicated way too much blog space to salty celery.)

Now I need to figure out what we're having for dinner.  I've kinda been avoiding that because I forgot to take something out to defrost and I didn't buy...oh!  wait!  I did!  Chicken Sausage!!  WAHHOOO!!!!  With peppers and cauliflower rice!!!  

OK, I have delayed long enough....time to go get the groceries and start my new week.  Now if the cauliflower would chop itself while I'm gone...
