Day 30 is getting close. The Paleo Challenge will soon come to an end. I am starting to think about how I will continue when this challenge is over. As I have for this challenge, I will try to listen to my body and find out what it needs. Sometimes that isn't the easiest thing to do. I feel like after all I have read and learned about food, I can't go back completely to how it was before.
Breakfast: Scrambled eggs and a banana
Lunch: Fancy Pear Salad (Everyday Paleo, 129): Really it's just salad greens, a pear, onion, balsamic vinegar and pecans. We had the salad with some ground turkey.
Snack: Apple slices and roast beef deli meat
Dinner: Chicken and Boiled Cabbage. We decided to go with a more basic meal tonight. We had some chicken in the freezer and some left over cabbage so Scott put them together to make a meal. He stir-fried the chicken breast (cut into pieces) with olive oil, garlic, onions, celery and a bit of chicken broth. He boiled red cabbage. The cabbage was more tasty than I had anticipated. Alexis had a few helpings of the cabbage, which was surprising. He also steamed some beans for the kids in case they didn't like the cabbage.
Dessert: Each of us had one Great Ball of Date (Everyday Paleo, 218) from the night before. They are such a yummy little treat!
No pictures today. Although the meal was simple. It was still tasty and filling. I think that as we progress with this way of eating we are going to have to use more simple meals more often to keep the costs down. We will still continue to plan our meals in advance and make a shopping list. We started doing that about a year ago and found that it is so helpful in keeping to a budget.
