Last week I made the chocolate cake I was supposed to make several months before to celebrate my son’s birthday. I wanted to do it because I had purchased ingredients for this… AND because I wanted to take my mind of the work ahead of me. This was a success. I am not saying that the cake looked amazing, but I successfully took my mind off of everything and relaxed!!!! And, I had a few slices.
I did still manage to find some healthy things to eat to combat my little cake slices. Midweek, I did start incorporating a few things I had been avoiding to keep my energy up and just make sure that I was getting enough nutrients.
Breakfast
- Smoothie bowls (berries, bananas, and almond butter topped with homemade grain-free granola)
- Green smoothies (dandelion, pineapple, ginger, turmeric, avocado, and yellow squash)
- BUCKWHEAT BISCUITS with honey!!!! These are a hit in our house!!! (plus eggs and fruit)
- Puffed millet cereal, raisins, almonds, and chia seeds with almond milk
- Potato and egg taco (almond flour tortilla)
Lunch
- Black bean burger with guac (almond flour tortilla as a bun) and homemade French fries and brocolli
- 15 bean soup with quinoa and mustard greens (this meal lasted quite a few days)
- Lentil pasta with sauteed grape tomatoes, kale greens, and fresh basil, topped with toasted walnuts
Dinner
- Kelp noodles with almond butter sauce and mangoes, sweet peppers, and cucumber
- Mustard greens, green beans, and mashed sweet potato topped with grain-free granola
- Salad with apple chips and tomatoes
