Nourishing cleanse day #1

My cleanse is off to a good start. Of course, figuring out new routines takes a while, so I ran out of time for some of the self-care elements. But that’s okay; I’ll be more efficient tomorrow.

The big news is that I have to give a shout-out to yet another appliance: my Instant Pot Duo Nova!

I’ve always found appliances rather intimidating, but had heard great things about the Instant Pot. So I bought one on sale for a great price, only to have it sit in the unopened box for months. I finally unboxed it, only for it to sit on a shelf for another six months or so.

But today I took it off the shelf and used it to make a very healthy dinner of quinoa, leeks, Brussel sprouts, and fish.

It sort of feels like I climbed Mount Everest!
