Food Detox: Day Thirteen

I'm thinking of and praying for those in Boston.  It is all so sad and devastating for a city that should be celebrating tonight, not mourning.  Our world is changing and sadly not always for the better.

My day in the world of eating went well.  I made strawberry banana smoothies for an afternoon snack with our brand new Vitamix blender.  I took the plunge today and bought it at Costco.  Oh yes, I did.  It was hands down the best smoothie I've ever made at home.  Joe and I pooled our birthday money to buy the Vitamix and I'm looking forward to putting it to work.  Side note, I am now a Costco member.  I joined today since the Vitamix sells for $110 less there than it does online.  I probably should have joined a long time ago, this finally got me in the door.  I'll keep you informed as I try new things with the Vitamix and let you know what I think.  For now, my first reaction is two thumbs up!

Here's what I had today:
I got the temperature control figured out with my skillet today so they were a pretty golden color instead of overdone.  Yummy! 
The last of the leftovers from week one.  One of my favorite recipes from the first week.

I'm a broccoli fan so I enjoyed this dish.  The dressing was nice and light.
