and it begins…
Did you have a fun Super Bowl Sunday?
Did your team win?
I wasn’t rooting for a specific team. For me, it was more like a joke I heard… I watched a Beyonce concert with football on either end of it. I loved all the female power-performers of the game – Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, and the incomparable Beyonce.
Also for me – today begins the 3-week Cleanse. But before we get to that, I will let you know that I did, indeed, make two of my suggested Super Bowl treats; the Jalapeno Pull Bread and the Fried Olives.
Delicious! We gobbled them up!
OK, back to my new reality, the first meal of the day was a Mango-Tahini Smoothie. I would change this to a Mango-Lime Smoothie and completely leave out the tahini.
I don’t know if it was just me and my taste buds, but the combination of mango, tahini, and lime, tasted fishy. Not the best flavor profile first thing in the morning and a fishy tasting smoothie is never a good thing! When I make it again, I’ll add no tahini and 2 tablespoons of lime juice, instead of only one tablespoon. The link for the recipe is above – you decide for yourself what you want to do with it.
I’m hopeful that lunch will prove to be much tastier!

I celebrated Super Bowl Sunday by taking my children to the Great Arizona Puppet Theater and then shopping at Ikea, which we had almost to ourselves. This is my equivalent of going out for Chinese food on Christmas. Mango and tahini are two foods that are each sublime by themselves but don’t seem to belong together, whether in a smoothie or any other context.
David, that sounds like my sort of Sunday, I really did love halftime, although I could have just watched it online afterwards, which I’ve already done this morning. Glad you had such a nice time with the kids
Marissa, I’ll have to let you know. It is quite a bit of cooking, so with your time constraints, I’m not so sure, but if I find ways to mainstream it…. then maybe. When you get back from Thailand, I should have your answer. Only four days till you fly away – exciting!
Maybe I can just use it for some healthy recipe ideas
