I really wanted to link up to Jenn’s What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW) link party this week, so it helped me be motivated to try and bring a little variety into my (food) life.
I met a friend on Monday at Breathe in Pittsford (the other Lisa B!) for a little browsing and a green juice. I didn’t photog the juice (y’all know what juice looks like—and for some pretty ones, go look at Spabettie’s pictures!), but it made me motivated to juice the loveliness in my fridge.
For some reason, I’m also motivated to make some sprouted nut butters—oh yes, my juicer will do that for me too!
It’s March. Do you know what that means?
Last, I made a skillet socca pizza that was ah-mazing! I used Rice Shreds for cheese instead of Daiya, because I think tastes better. It’s a departure from my anti-candida diet. But I was celebrating! I’ve decided I need to splurge occasionally so I do not implode or feel restricted (I really haven’t felt restricted at all so far).
On Splurging. I stopped at Solia, a clothing store, on my way home from Breathe, and I could not resist a new pair of William Rast jeans. I will need new shoes now. And a shirt. It’s a slippery slope!
I’m looking forward to getting very focused on my work and a project today and tomorrow night, so that I can be a little bit carefree on Friday (initially I thought I’d have free time on Thursday too…a little too optimistic I guess)!
How is your week shaping up?
MMM, that nut butter looks delish and the socca pizza??? heaven!
I'm making this the second I get ahold of the flour! amazing! i've been craving socca for weeks and i've never even tried it! haha!
thanks for the bday wishes (and the pasta!!!!!) and for linking up! you rock!
xoXOxo

Wow. YUM! I want to come and eat with you. I've never heard of rice shreds.
I miss my kids but I'm staying positive and busy so I don't think about it too much!
The pizza looks perfect! This week is going well. I am ready for the weekend though. I want to work in the yard so badly!
I love your version of the shamrock shake! How fun. And the socca pizza looks perfect. I agree- I try to eat about 85-90% clean. Week is going ok! Just trying to mend the pup!
Your socca pizza looks delicious!
I usually make “Shamrock Shakes” this time of year as well — although I like the addition of avocado — I usually throw in some spinach for some color instead!
Your socca looks delicious. I think I'm going to have some tonight!
P.S. I LOVE William Rast jeans. I had to toss my only pair because they kept ripping at the crotch! lol I really want another pair!
aw! what a sweet surprise to see when I come here to visit – a sweet shout out to my daily juice 🙂 <3 thank you, my friend!
Mmm, yum! your socca pizza looks better than mine ever do, so there's that!! 😀 your shamrock shake sounds awesome too – I need to try one of those!
Happy Wednesday!
My husband swoons over avocado shakes. I…don't. I like my avocadoes savory. Unless they're in chocolate pudding, of course.
your socca pizza looks delightful! this week has been a good one so far…the in-laws flew in yesterday, it's fun having them around 🙂
Have you posted on your sprouted nut butters before? I am intrigued! They sound interesting… and look delish!

Do you have a Champion? I make my nut butters in the Vitamix which works well – although it never TASTES like the roasted rancid stuff…. a shame. And sprouted too – you go girl! That takes some extra prep time.
Good luck on your busy week!
I know this is totally unhealthy, but my favorite thing at McDonald's is their Shamrock shakes. I wil definitely have to try out your version, since it's much healthier than vanilla ice cream and mint flavoring!!! I just love mint!
This is actually the first time I've done the sprouted version! I'm
definitely going to post about it in the next week.
I have a Greenstar, which is really similar to a Champion with the twin gear
setup—so it is super easy to make nut butters. Still haven't figured out a
way to add the “roasted” flavor 🙂
Until I stopped eating stuff like that, my friend and I used to go and get a
shamrock shake that was 3/4 shamrock and 1/4 chocolate milkshake….SO
good… My homemade one is good, but there's nothin' like the real thing!
I have been wanting to try socca for a while! I think pizza would be a great way to incorporate the new food item. 🙂
that pizza looks soo yummy!
That pizza looks DEEELISH!
This week has been crazy, but good!
That Socca pizza sounds great! I'm definitely going to have to give that a go! This week is getting better as it goes (the temperature keeps rising along with it, so there's been lots of outdoor time!)
I need to have a shamrock shake too–yum! I'm pretty sure I have some mint extract in my cupboard! 🙂
ahh yes, shamrock shake ! I can't wait to toast you to that tomorrow. And sprouted pecan butter, I think you need to open a candida friendly online bakery!
i have no idea what rice shreds are but that pizza looks fab. i need to buckle down on work today too. hope your day is a good one! 🙂
glad you had a couple of splurges, lisa! (the rice shreds and the jeans). fun things to do during your march break week!
sounds like your week is well-planned with room for work and time for relaxation. awesome! my week is going well – enough to do without feeling crazy busy. a good balance!
i've tried daiya cheese and really liked it; i will have to look for rice shreds…not sure if they're in my local stores (?).
sorry joe did not like your smoothie – it's so perfectly festive for this week!
Shammrock shake? Awesome on so many levels!
My week is better, since I'm not dying of the flu anymore and my evening class got canceled!! WOO HOO!!
Hope your day is fab as well!!
Yum, never tried sprouted nut butter! And I need to try Rice Shreds next. Great eats!
I seriously need to get on this Socca stuff. That pizza looks SO SO SO good!
great glass to be drinking out of! this is one of 'those' weeks (aka I thought it was thursday for a minute when I saw your post title; yes I'm that aloof)
Ahhh yummy, pecan butter!! I am going to try it on Saturday morning mmk:)
Slash that shamrock smoothie is WAY more healthy than the fast food alternative! And socca pizza is my FAVORITE!! I am making it for din din tomorrow:)
I would love to see your recipe for Sprouted Pecan Butter–that sounds just fabulous! And the pizza looks super delightful, too 🙂 I have yet to make my own nut butter, but I definitely need to jump on that bandwagon!
William Rast is my FAVORITE!!! I live for the Savoy trousers. Also, I'm so intrigued by the socca pizza! I'd love to try that sometime soon… eyes are officially peeled for the garbanzo bean flour.
The green drink is looking extra good since St. Pat's Day is almost here! The week is going really quickly! So happy I'm almost on vacation!!
I have always wanted a pair of William Rast jeans! Are they amazing?
Yes, they are crazy awesome 🙂 I just went to get them shortened, and my
little turkish tailor guy did them on the spot so I can wear them tonight!
Um, I'll take an order of your shamrock shake to go, please.
Stop by on your way to work on Monday morning, and I'll have one ready for
ya! 🙂
