Next week, I'm omitting lettuce. It cleans me out too much these days as it's the hot season and I'm extra D prone. Cooked greens are fine for me, but the raw lettuce makes my stool to watery. Now that I've finished my raw greens, I'm going to take a hiatus from the lettuce. I sold my sprouter last weekend at a yard sale as the sprouter were causing too many bathroom trips. I feel guilty re: wasting food. So, if I don't use it, I give it away. Or, I cook and freeze. No more salad for quite awhile--it makes my poos too soupy.
I'm just in the habit from being a former raw vegan to eat raw leafies everyday, but my body is saying, "NO THANKS." So, I shall listen and honour that. The mushrooms work though. Magick mushroom salad. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but if I had dessert it would be an sf salad like this. Beet salads are good too. Or carrot salads.

I use fresh veggies and just put them in a sauce pan or pot with a small amount of water and sea salt. You can adjust the cooking time easily for frozen veggies. I use fresh sweet basil as its just on my window sill, but you can use dried too. Spinach/green bean is another great combination. I got this idea from the Fatfree.com website. This second combination is delicious with new potatoes. I hate tomatoes, so I'm always seeking tomatoe free alternatives. The green sauces are really fast and easy and cheap whether fresh or frozen. They are nutrient packed and versatile. Zucchini is another great thickener/addition. Asparagus gives it a sort of "pea" like flavour. You can also swirl these into egg white omelettes or other creations. Baked potatoe patties, crepes...perogies.
