Good Morning! I slept solidly until 6am. I even had the luxury of laying in bed for a little longer this morning, too!
Not the same old breakfast today! I had time to make rice pancakes with apple and pear topping. We had a half a grapefruit on the side. It was fantastic!!! It has been a long time since we have had any bread products, but I think they would have tasted great, regardless of the lack of carbs in our diet! I used the recipes out of the Metagenics cookbook. I added pear to the apple compote because they were getting overly ripe and it was well worth it! I will definitely continue making the fruit topping after the detox when we have waffles and pancakes. The pancakes had a great texture and flavor. I wasn't sure what to expect because it was dairy, gluten and egg free! Instead, the recipe called for egg substitute, almond milk and oat/rice flour. We will definitely continue making this recipe after the detox!
For lunch, we had leftover Kasha chili and cucumber with gaucamole. For a late afternoon snack, I had the protein shake.
I went to an open house for a local business and you should have seen the food they had! Breaded baked brie cheese, wine and beer, desserts galore! It was hard to pass up the local chocolate candies, especially because it was close to dinner and I was hungry! A good example of how most of our social events revolve around food!
While I cooked dinner, I had a banana and strawberries. We ate much later than usual, so it was important to snack on healthy things because that is the time of day for me that would be easy to fall off the wagon. We had salmon with risotto (zucchini and asparagus mixed in).
I did not have time to get a walk/run in, so I'm hoping sleep will be restful tonight. I'll keep you posted! Happy Friday!
