A HCLF Breakfast/Lunch

 

Orange Juice. Fresh Squeezed.

 

I chopped up some dates that were getting too mealy and rolled them around in carob powder and coconut shreds.

HCLF Vegan Update

Ugh. I ate way too much fat today. I was feeling pretty good the past couple days, but feeling a little too restrictive so I started eating whatever I wanted. I ate a candy bar. Vegan Twilight. It's like a milky way. I kinda feel like crap right now. So tomorrow I will try to be hclf. I'm trying to think about what sounds good for dinner. I have a salad, but it just does not taste good. I was trying to make myself eat the rest of this italian dressing that has high fructose corn syrup. Maybe I should just throw it out. It's just not agreeing with me.

I haven't been exercising as much as I'd like. Blah.

Maybe potatoes. Hmm. I have to go to a play tomorrow.

Recipe Remake:Chocolate Chip Cookies for One

Chocolate Covered Katie is a vegan dessert maker with her own blog. One of the recipes is making chocolate chip cookies for two with two cookies.

 

The lonely cookie. I ate half the cookie dough. This is a gluten-free cookie.

 

I'm going to save this one for tomorrow.

 

 

Banana Cake

 

HCLF

 

Frozen bananas, fresh figs, dates. And cinnamon.

ELF Mascara

The mascara was $3. Which is awesome.

 

 

I had to get this though. It doesn't come off very easily.

 

It kinda flakes off and not all at once. I still enjoy wearing it. I hope to try Lush's wheatgrass mascara sometime. My eyes are pretty sensitive.

Homemade Spring Rolls! GF!

At first glance dry rice papers do not look like something you want to eat. And even after you prep them by just dipping them in warm water they may not look very appetizing either.

 

 

But they are! I love how they get all stretchy. I have mushrooms, cucumbers, rice noodles, chives, cilantro and romaine in mine. I dipped them in a peanut sauce I made-peanut butter, vegan honey, organic sugar, bragg's soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and orange juice. Kinda high-fat, but I was thinking maybe I could use peanut butter powder next time.

What I Ate: More GF & ELF Review

I have been watching lots of HCLFV videos and I am seeing so many people make good dinners without fat, sodium or gluten. I think I am going to keep trying to be HCLF. I'm going really slow btw. :)

 

 

My mom got me this soup. I really loved the ELF nail polishes I got. They come off fast and the nail polish remover pads may run out fast, but the fact that I know they are all vegan makes me gleeful. Yay! Finally, I can buy cheap make-up.

 

I added some beyond meat strips and they were gf. They have a great texture.

 

Chips! High-fat. Oops.

 

Oh, no. High-fat as well. I'm trying. And I added this to my soup for an extra kick.

 

I finished the meal with some local kombucha.

Elf Makeup

Whoa! ELF makeup is vegan and cruelty-free! I ordered 21 pieces for $40 and I got free shipping. I will be posting about them in later posts as I use them.

Happy Birthday to Me!
