I’ll just start off by saying–I don’t have any photos this week.  I meant to take photos of the food–but I didn’t for a number of reasons, like some of the food didn’t turn out too pretty :0.

My favorites food this week was the whole wheat, black bean ravioli, with a pasilla cream sauce and grilled shrimp.  I made the ravioli.  I made the filling and I made the sauce.  The noodles didn’t turn out so pretty (so, I didn’t photograph the process).  I have decided that I really need a ravioli maker, because doing it without the proper equipment is hard, no matter how easy people make it look like on TV.  Mine were ugly and looked like the kids made them–but they were yummy.

The cream sauce and filling were delicious–the filling was simply, black beans, greek yogurt, garlic, onion, cumin and smoked paprika all blended together and it was really really good.  I look forward to making it when I have the right tools (and then I’ll document it).  I also made some whole wheat fettuccine and am looking forward to eating that this week with chicken and more of the pasilla cream sauce–yummy.

I also made some clean banana muffins from The Gracious Pantry. I made her basic recipe but put fresh blueberries in each muffin for a little added texture and I added walnuts to the batter as well.  They are absolutely delicious and the kids love them too–total bonus.

This was a rough clean eating week for me, but was able to pull it off and am really happy with how I feel.  I can certainly tell a difference and I am really liking it.
