I forgot to start soaking buckwheat groats this morning. It’s ok. I’ll start them tonight. They’ll just sprout for a little less time. Fortunately, they don’t need to get to the point of having tails. And, I had a little wiggle room built in. You only need to soak the buckwheat for about 8 hours and sprout for another 8-12 hours. If I start tonight, I’ll still be ready to make a rocking batch of raw granola tomorrow evening.
My excuse was that I didn’t sleep well last night. I probably only got about 3 hours worth of shut-eye. It made for a very grumpy morning. I was so tired, I forgot my vow to be vegan all week and had a few sips of the princess latte that M. brought to me in my bed (yes, I’m very spoiled). The rest of the day has been the most vegan-y of vegan eating. I’ve made a 5 cups of pro-biotic packed green smoothie. Enough for breakfast and afternoon snack. Lunch was a big-ass salad with .25 cup slivered almonds and some fat-free balsamic vinegar dressing. Dinner is going to be leftover carrot/cauliflower/tarragon soup and some steamed veggies done up in my own stir-fry sauce. I’ll post the recipes for all of those separately.
