Monday
Husband threw together a frittata with some of the leftover vit.greens, bacon, and sausage from yesterday. One slice sufficed.
Spent a good hour or more this morning putting together our picnic lunch for later in the day - salad of tomato, avocado, hard-boiled egg / salami slices wrapped in Gouda (do they let their cows graze in Holland? :) / slices of red bell pepper / rolls of slices of ham / apples and apple pears ( we're eating these all the time now, because it's the only fresh fruit at the Farmer's Market.
The rest of the afternoon was spent at our school co-op, then to meet a farmer to pick up raw milk, bacon and sausage ($9 per lb. - are you KIDDING?!), and stew meat (more economical), then off to basketball practice. The kids staved hunger by munching on almonds and semi-sweet chocolate chips - I need to look into the BestLife brand since we're trying to rule out refined sugar completely.
Home at 6:30 and still have to prepare dinner. Can't default to my usual quickies - PB & J or deli meat sandwhich, so I pan fry some chicken breast quickly that comes out too tough and not very flavorful - I have to remember to tenderize the meat first next time / green beans / and leftover fried sweet potatoes.
We survived our second Paleo day.
Daughter #1 complains of being very hungry at 9pm.....

Paleo Day 1
spinach "quiche" for breakfast with flat, round breakfast sausage from Costco - thought it was so healthy, but oops! it has sugar in the ingredients.
lunch - my husband offers to make lunch for us at his restaurant (yay!) and we invite our parish priest to join us. Salad with all sorts of yummy stuff - grapes, salami, radishes, homemade mozzarella, scallions, etc. Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon (oh my goodness!) - we won't usually be eating this gourmet, and sauteed calamari as an appetizer.
Dinner - fish (don't remember the name, but it's like cod and pink when raw). We experimented with coconut oil (Costco now carries a big tub for a decent price) for the first time, breaded the fish in coconut flour first, then dipped in egg - the batter didn't stick too well, but it was still good. Made a sauce with some chicken stock (Costco) in the pan after the fish had fried and then stuck it in the oven. Served with sauteed vitamin greens (from Farmer's Market) with just butter and onion - works for any "greens" you are making.
Dessert! - I made Pan Fried Apples with butter, cinnamon and nutmeg. Added honey, but it burned a little. Still, delicious.
