Member Detox Blog- Day 17

DAY 17

Tonight’s dinner had potential, but didn’t really work out. I was trying millet for the first time – it’s a protein-packed grain like quinoa with a similar texture – and I figured it would make for a good Meatless Monday meal. Unfortunately, I didn’t have all the necessary herbs or veggies and it ended up tasting kind of bland. I like the idea of millet, though; I’ll try it again in the future. Just with a recipe instead of winging it.

I feel like I should have mentioned this before, but there are a few good websites I turn to for allergen-free cooking. The first is Gluten-Free Goddess. She has great recipes, although some of them can be more involved than you want them to be. But she often makes suggestions for dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, etc., which is nice.

The second (don’t laugh) is Gwyneth Paltrow’s website, Goop. In December, she included links to a couple detox websites (she was semi-hawking her detox guru’s program, which you pay for, but the recipes are free, so I took advantage). There are some great, easy recipes that I’ll be incorporating into my regular diet in the future. I highly recommend both.
