Well friends, I have joined a challenge put on by my friend Alison. You should check out her blog (click on her name), she has more information on the challenge and YUMMY recipes.
This week, I am eating only foods that I've prepared. In addition, no artificial sweeteners, canned/boxed foods, and...wait for it....no Diet Coke. I will admit that the lack of Diet Coke has been by far the hardest. I drank about 11 bottles of water yesterday. So far I've had 8 today and about 32 oz of iced green tea. There have been a few casualties - including a burnt stomach from splashing acorn squash, but over all it's been good. I'm trying foods I haven't eaten before - and loving them!
I started Monday with breakfast - Soaked Whole Wheat Muffins with Berries. Here's a picture of them before they were cooked:
I ate a bajillion carrots with ranch for a late lunch. Dinner took a while to make from scratch.
Chicken Tetrazinni:
For snacking - I tend to be hungry more often since I'm not eating a ton of meat at breakfast like usual - I eat carrots or unsweetened applesauce (which is my FAVORITE).
Breakfast today consisted of oatmeal with frozen mixed berries and sliced banana. Yum!
I had leftover chicken tetrazinni for an early lunch.
Dinner was Acorn Squash Soup. Admittedly, I didn't think I'd like it. I'm not a huge squash person, but I LOVED it! Plus I have about two servings left for later!
I'm about to go eat some grapes! :) I'll try to keep posting during the week so you can see what's up!
Oh yes, and if you'd like the recipes, just email me - or check out Alison's Blog.
Blessings!
