Because I post so many pictures of fun recipes that I try on my Facebook page and Instagram, people sometimes assume that I'm in the kitchen all the time and I don't eat really simple food. Well, the truth is, I eat pretty simply most of the time! What I share are the days I have time to have fun in the kitchen. And yes, for me, trying new recipes is fun. Adapting and changing recipes is fun. But it's not uncommon to find a snack or vegetable on our table that is as simple as this; raw carrots. These are peeled because they came from the store. The ones from the garden or our organic CSA get eaten with just a little washing. And right now, because of our cool spring, the carrots from our organic CSA farm are so sweet and crisp! Yum!
So eating clean and healthy doesn't have to be complicated. I need a raw veggie salad yesterday and because I was home alone and wanted to keep doing what I was doing, I simply grabbed some carrots from the fridge and munched on them. Then I found a couple baby cucumbers and some organic fresh turnips; applied some Himalayan pink salt and ate those. Still needed something, and saw I had 1/4 of an avocado left from the salad the day before. Yep. I ate it too. And not wanting to sit down to a salad, I just grabbed a handful of greens and ate them out of hand. And that was my "meal." Surprising? Aside from soups, my one true love, I would probably eat like this all the time if I were alone. Healthy grazing, I think they call it!
I think I'll go eat another carrot!
