Wow! I'm feeling great! I'm sleeping like I haven't in years. My head is clear. I'm not at all hungry. I really think the shakes at breakfast and snack followed by the brown rice, brown rice pasta, or sweet potato at dinner are plenty of food...it's only hard when you're out at dinner time and they don't have one of the starches that I ever had a thought about being hungry or unsatisfied. Yesterday was a Sunday, I had a shake in the morning with frozen berries-not my fav, too seedy. After church we went to Salsaritas and while I saved the booth for our group, I trusted my hubby to get me an acceptable salad. It was awesome! The addition of cilantro, black beans, and guacamole made it delish without any dressing. yum. I had a handful of green grapes in the afternoon and for dinner I tried something new. Eggplant. I've never been a big fan, but I must say it wasn't bad. I put cheese on it for my hubby. I made spaghetti & meatballs for my kids and ate leftover brown rice pasta with mine.
Eggplant
cut into 1/2 inch slices - peeled
brush with oil and garlic on both sides
bake 425 20 minutes, turn and bake 5 more minutes
remove from oven and place fresh basil leaves then tomato slices on top (parmesan cheese on hubby's and others for kids to 'try'.) Salt and pepper. Back in oven at 350 for 15 to 20 more minutes.
I thought this was OK. My hubby and Emily really liked it - they had fresh parmesan cheese on top.
In the evening I realized I hadn't had my 2nd shake, so I made one at 9pm. Best shake yet! Simply a 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 banana and a handful of ice cubes added to the mix and then some water added while in blender...awesome! -kinda.
