Breakfasts: Salad. Loved it again. I have gotten used to giving myself extra of the things that the twins love to eat, because they crowd my plate and "please" for more.
Lunch: Salmon and celery. I ran out of greens and frankly didn't even want to eat them again, anyway.
Dinner: Yesterday was scrambled eggs and celery and carrots, and today was something new. I was excited to make a dairy-free mac and cheese recipe that my sister-in-law sent me for Lincoln. He loves mac and cheese and it just breaks his heart not to have it. It's just that home made does not even come close to the experience of boxed; of course, most people prefer the former, but not a 4 year old who can practically inhale Kraft. This recipe is all done on the stove, which I thought would make it closer to what he is used to. It made a ton, and without even thinking, I put some on my plate too because I was curious and excited. I haven't had wheat noodles for what... 25 days now. Oh well, I don't mind, the bigger bummer is that Lincoln wasn't impressed. He did pick at it, though, so that is encouraging. I didn't add enough salt and almond milk, I think. I do still have hope. I think maybe some turmeric too for coloring. Tyler ate it out of support and the babies dumped it on their heads. You can't please 'em all! And yet... you can't stop trying either.
Snack: Chia seed pudding with honey and cacao nibs.
Thoughts: Having made a conscious practice of listening to my body and how it feels after eating certain foods, and what it wants to eat, I am curious about the female hormone cycle. It would appear that chocolate is really good for the soul sometimes. I have willingly and lovingly complied with the desire to eat sweets this week, felt no guilt, made sure it was still stuff I can easily digest, and continued onto the next meal of glorious veggies, fish, etc. I feel like I'm feeding myself how I would my best friend or my mom: the best stuff, at the best time, to create my best self!
