My detox was derailed yesterday when my uncle lost his long battle with cancer. I ate a Clean breakfast and lunch and then spent the afternoon with family, helping to write Greg’s obituary and sharing stories. When my mom suggested we order pizza, I was in no shape to argue.
I have officially completed one week of eating Clean! I almost gave in to my coffee and crepe cravings yesterday, but in the end I persevered. I made a great zucchini puree last night (see below) that restored my faith in soups. (I’ve learned the secret to a good soup is the broth; when I tried to puree broccoli with water last week, even with onions and garlic, it was bland bland bland.)
When I was in high school, back when I didn’t care about silly things like nutrition and would sometimes have nothing for lunch except a can of Pepsi and a pack of Rolos (shudder), one of my favorite meals was fettuccine alfredo. I loved anything made with cream and cheese and thought nothing of downing a big bowl of dairy and pasta. In later years, classic mac n’ cheese replaced fettuccine as my pasta of choice, and remained one of my regular go-to meals until just a couple of years ago (though I graduated from Kraft to Annie’s organic pasta).
