Today was a day. Peg baked a pie. I made gluten-free tabouli (posting recipe tomorrow). We made a chopped salad. Pegs & I even indulged in a decadent chocolate smoothie for our mid-afternoon snack. And I must say, I felt like a cleansing cheater even though it was completely Clean—check proof below. Overall, I have noticed more energy with a great mood and it has only been three days!
