Days 11 and 12

Day 11: Up early, so that I could go to the Farmer’s Market before heading to Tiguex park for some fun FYI bootcamp movement. I had my usual protein shake before taking off. Upon return I made some Elimination Diet pancakes but this time, we topped them with sautéed strawberries and raspberries. Pretty Good! :-) For lunch and dinner we cooked some black eyed peas and put a spaghetti squash in the oven.

Spaghetti Squash Dinner:

Spaghetti squash halved, rub inside with coconut oil, cover and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour or until flesh pulls away easily with a fork into spaghetti like strands.

I topped the spaghetti squash with organic marinara sauce and some red chile sauce, cilantro, chopped cashews, and onion. Tonight we served it with black eyed peas, mustard greens and nopales con chile (cactus with chile).

Tonight we went to the neighbors for a party and we had some hot apple cider. It was a good thing we ate well before we went, or we would have been more tempted by the goodies. I tried to stay out of the kitchen area and in hind sight, I guess we could have brought something to snack on, so we didn’t feel left out.

Day 12: Another workout in the park this morning and a protein shake. My lunch and snack were leftovers from yesterday. We watched the Steelers win an awesome game against the Patriots, YEAH! Dinner was a nice bowl of Lentil soup, grilled veggies, and a salad. Would have been great with a nice glass of wine….soon…9 more days and we can start adding foods back. By the time Thanksgiving comes, everything will taste SO GOOD!
