I have started to break the taco cleanse. Dan made the Siesta Taco Soup from Betty Goes Vegan yesterday (except we used hominy instead of lentils and topped with avocado) it was so delicious. It was strange to feel something so soupy in my belly but it had all the comforting flavors of a taco so I think it was a good choice.
But now I’m really confused about what to eat. I went to the grocery store on Sunday and just kind of wandered around and ended up with just stuff for Dan. Basically I can’t imagine cooking something that isn’t a taco. I guess I’ll just wait for a craving. Any suggestions?
I’ve had “where do we go from here” from Buffy the Musical in my head since the end of the cleanse and I wanted to add the you tube of the video. I couldn’t find it, but I did find a version of the song cut to the mid season finale of Battlestar Galactica. I swear when Lee Adama said, “where do we go from here” I totally thought they were referencing this song which is possible since Jane Espenson wrote for both shows! If you love both of those shows or you want to understand what I’m feeling, check it out.
posole seems like the perfect baby step out of taco cleansing. good luck!
I do love both shows, and this video warmed my heart!
I’ve never seen either of these shows, but bravo on completing MoFo and the cleanse!
I’m having the same issues. Usually meal planning is easy, but it’s just hard imagining I’m going to eat something strange like spaghetti. All I can come up with is beans and rice, hold the tortilla.
If you want a little cleanse tip: you should not start back with your old habits all in the same time. reduce tacos slowly, taking it day by day.
Let me tell you that I had a blast reading your articles during the MoFo.
You’re going to do fine! Take it slowly, and be kind to yourself. You did a great thing for your body, mind, and soul with this cleanse, and you should be proud. Also, you’re awesome.
I remembered having hominy soup, posole at this awesome Carribean-Mexican place in Mexico City - it was pretty good! There are always new things to try instead of tacos - try crepes or something that involves empanadas!
