Day 2
This morning I had some leftover chicken and a banana. I would have loved more of the cauliflower mashed potatoes, but they were gone. I had to take the baby to the doctor this morning and grabbed a Lara bar for a quick snack out the door. Not sure if it is Paleo, but the only ingredients in it are cashews and dates, so I think it can work for now. After the doctor, I grabbed some cooking supplies and headed to my parents house to make lunch. My brother even joined us. We made a sausage hash with Italian Sausage, sweet potatoes and a little cinnamon. My dad stir fried some vegetables. Overall, it was a nice lunch with the family. The sausage hash was fabulous! I think even picky AJ would like it for breakfast. Next time I will try to choose a meat with a little less salt though.
For an afternoon snack I made Bugs on a Boat (kind of like Ants on a Log). I used celery, almond butter, raisins and some coconut flakes. Alexis liked the raisins, almond butter and pineapple flakes but I think the celery was a bit hard for her to eat.
For dinner we made Easy Skewers. I actually prepped all the food, even the raw meat! Then Scott cooked it when he got home. It was perfect. Sirloin steak (mixed with olive oil and spices), zucchini, mushrooms, and orange peppers. We had the skewers with some steamed veggies. The kids even enjoyed it so we will definitely keep this recipe.

| Still need to work on framing food for pictures! Just a note that my Paleo Challenge may be slightly different from a traditional 30 Day challenge like The Whole 30. As the challenge progresses and I get more used to eating this way, I would like to limit my intake of nut products and sweet potatoes a little bit more. By the way, white potatoes are not considered something that should be eaten in the Paleo template. Sweet potatoes are allowed in moderation. |
