Moroccan Stir-Fry

Good afternoon lovies!

Well, I’ve gone and done it now! I made homemade hummus this afternoon and it is TRAPPED!

My food processor can be a bit frustrating at times. It has to lock a certain way and it can be very difficult to lock and unlock. I like to call it moody. :) Anyways…

I cooked my chickpeas on the stovetop and then I made the mistake of not letting the chick peas cool before using them in my food processor. Well, the steam + moisture apparently ‘set off’ my processor and when I tried to open the lid and unlock it after processing, well, it won’t open!!!

And the BASE won’t unlock unless the TOP is unlocked!

My hummus is trapped!!!!!!! *horror screams*

Just look what I had to do to get a few scoops of hummus for my lunch! Desperate times call for desperate measures!

Luckily I was able to get some!

I had to shimmy this spoon down the processor’s chimney!

Lunch was Crap Free and Fantastic!

Moroccan Stir-Fry

Crap Free Ingredients:

• 1 handful baby organic spinach
• 3 Tbsp homemade hummus
• 1 large orange pepper
• 1/2 cup red onion
• 1/2 cup chickpeas
• 1 Tbsp Tabouli

Directions: Chop veggies and cook in a skillet on low-med. heat in 2 Tbsp. of light dressing. Mix in chickpeas, spinach, and Tabouli near the end of cooking.

It was So so so good. I will be making this again!

I also had my second smoothie of the day:

Banana Spinach Smoothie

3 handfuls of baby organic spinach

2 ice cubes (always have these and they help so much)

1 cup Almond Breeze in Original

1 Tbsp flax

1 small banana

I couldn’t get over this taste difference with an all spinach smoothie! You basically can’t taste the spinach AT ALL. Kale is much more bitter.

If you are nervous about trying a green smoothie I strongly suggest starting with spinach only smoothies! They go down like butta :D

Mid-morning I have an apple for a snack:

PS- My nails have been super healthy (and growing like weeds) since I started having my green smoothies each morning. Look mom no white spots! lol. I think my hair is growing faster too!

Well, I better go check on the trapped hummus. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it open??? Agh!! This is my model:

I’m going to do some Yoga Today! I’m so excited to get back into yoga. :) Check out Yoga Today’s new blog!

I also want to make another batch of Spelt tortillas!

See you later for Oscar fashion!

I will also be answering some of your questions about Crap Free Week + smoothies.
