The Humungous Veggie Salad

I called this my HVS – Humongous Vegetable Salad. Here is the vegetable salad I keep around constantly. It goes with absolutely everything. I prepare this once or twice a week. If you don’t put in vegetables that have a lot of water content it tends to last longer in the refrigerator. You can pull it out and serve yourself a bowl of it anytime of the day. It’s also a great meal to have on a detox. Just use a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime instead of a salad dressing to keep everything raw.

Season for Detox – Day 22

Okay, confession time. I tried two different carrot cake recipes yesterday. Unfortunately, I made too many changes to the original recipes at once and had some flops. I Know better than to make changes to a recipe prior to doing the original one first. But I wanted to modify a gluten free recipe to also be vegan. Instead of using eggs as a binder, I used applesauce for the eggs. That meant with the lack of gluten and lack of binder, there was nothing to hold the cake together. DUH! Ended up with a gooey mess. I really hated to have to throw that cake out but there was no saving it.

Low-Fat Banana Bread

Plus, banana bead is a type of comfort food that many people enjoy at breakfast and any other times of the day. The problem is that most banana bread recipes can also pack some punch with the calories. This recipe offers a great option for a low-calorie, much lower fat version of the famous banana bread.
