Day 14

The 7:54 Moment: Phew I'm tired. I sat down today and really went through the food plan menu. I was becoming very overwhelmed and bored with what we were eating and I had total brain overload in coming up with new things to eat. - You take out meat and wheat and dairy and you realize how much they add diversity to each meal.
The last thing you need on a healthy food plan is to come up short because then 'take away' sounds mighty good and taste even better.


So to make life easy and diverse I have dedicated a certain 'type' of food to a certain day. i.e. Rice meals on Monday nights, soup on Tuesday nights, and on... I'm bringing back the diversity baby! :)

Also because we are being healthy that means lots of salads. Now, salads can get really boring and old, quick. This is also a complete de-motivator. The trick to these leafy meals is to break them down and build them up again simply and with different tastes of the bowl:


1) The base: Cos lettuce, or spinach, rocket, or general salad mix, even cabbage, ...


2) Add ONE main salad item as the star of the dish - grilled capsicum, or mushrooms, some roast pumpkin.


3) Next, add a sprinkle of friendship, around 2 types: grated cheese and shallots, or toasted nuts and mango slices, feta and semi dried tomatoes, snow-peas and alfalfa,or...


4) Then add a drizzle of dressing to have a 'salad delich': pesto, or a vinaigrette, yogurt, or...


Do these four and  you get  = salad delicious! - With no 'salad burnout' and a different type to try and/or look forward to next time. 


Breakfast: Rice thins with honey and our fresh juice. - twas a bit light on today.


Lunch: Salad wrap.


Afternoon: Gluten free cupcake and a coffee.

Dinner: Went to friends house and ate salad with a touch of chicken, I won't tell you about the choc-mint ice-cream we had for dessert!!!!. (Thank you my friends it was lovely.)
