Breakfast: Whole30 doesn't really include green smoothies, I think because people tend to load up on the fruit and so it ends up being more sugar than protein and greens. But I drank one again this morning anyway. First I made the kids one, then I made one for me with a LOT of spinach, some canned coconut milk, half a frozen banana and a quarter of a mango. Delicious, thick, smooth and... almost too sweet. I think after a week of eating this way, my taste buds are already adjusting. Cool! That means I can happily survive with less sugar!
Lunch: Leftovers all around. Broccoli, omelette, and chicken patties. Also some green olives, and salmon for the twins (actually, Hazel is the one who loves it. Ezra spit it out). I made Lincoln a grilled "cheese" sandwich with Daiya brand cheese and coconut oil instead of butter. He ate broccoli again, no problem. Can you see me grinning from ear to ear? Cuz I am!
Dinner: We went to Costco this afternoon after the twins took a nap, which means we arrived back home exactly when I would usually be putting dinner on the table. Formerly in this situation, we would have either ate pizza there, or put a frozen pizza in the oven when we got home. Obviously this wouldn't work for me right now on Whole 30, but it also doesn't work for Lincoln now, as we are going a month without dairy for him to see if his painful tummy aches and digestive issues get any better. So... no short cuts here! I quickly made some zucchini noodles for me, wheat noodles for everyone else, and cooked a cubed chicken breast on the stove. Spiced with garlic and Italian seasoning and covered in coconut oil, it was all delightful. The twins are not patient when I start cooking. They think banging a few pots and pans around= dinner served! But kids, cooking takes TIME, especially when I really cook! They'll get used to it.
Thoughts: Today was a really fun day. We let the kids play in the snow, Lincoln and Hazel got a little chess time with daddy (Ezra was napping), and I got to skype with my parents and talk on the phone with Liz. All is well.
