It's Thursday and I didn't post anything because things have been a bit crazy around here. Certainly nothing wrong with crazy but somethings take a back seat when that happens! Yesterday I was everywhere! I had to pick up things for work and go in a make up a bakery tray for an order and make sure that was all pretty. Well as pretty as I could make it with what I have available. It certainly isn't like when I worked at Plum and had multiple departments in which to pull from.
I still think it looks pretty good. I so wish I had flowers to use.
Before I headed out to work I had a protein shake and tried Ancient Nutrition bone broth protein in Vanilla. I'm a chocolate girl but the vanilla was a good change of pace. My shake was still thick and creamy. I chose not to take a picture since it was green from the avocado! I also grabbed this Paleo Ranch cinnamon raisin bar because after my running around I was going to the gym and figured I would probably end up being a little hungry and it's better to have something with you than nothing at all! I ate half and it tasted just like an oatmeal cookie. I was so happy with that since I have been missing the taste of oatmeal. I would love if I could eat gluten free oats but it ends up throwing me off. I haven't had them in over a year, so who knows maybe I will grab a pack of D's and try it one day.
Have you seen something this cool?! At work we have a machine that does Coffee Ripples and you download the app on your phone and we can print it on a latte! This happens to be my Cortado with a nice surprise on it. Not all pictures will come out perfect but for a dollar, why not?!
This was yesterday's lunch. Yes I went to Whole Foods after I was finished at the gym and Target. Speaking of the gym I just wrote out my new 3 day a week lifting plan. I will start it Saturday. My gym days are Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. On Tuesday, Friday and Sunday I do 30 minutes of yoga and Thursday I do some light cardio. Being I go to the gym alone it's hard to show some of the things I'm doing but I will try my best the next few times I go!
Yesterday I was finishing putting my office together and working at my computer and this little one had to take possession of my arm, after he was getting into all the things on my desk!
Last night's dinner! Another PaleOMG recipe from Real Plans. This was Buffalo Chicken Mini Meatloaf and you can get that recipe here with turnip fries and sautéed brussels (the last of my brussels I cooked, still some left though). Slightly spicy and I wish I would have chopped my onions just a bit smaller. It had fabulous taste and I put it in the broiler for a couple minutes to get the top all toasty.
Random cat action last night or lack there of! I think Nostrand is becoming more acceptable of him.
Ah this morning I had a coffee with collagen and a little cream (coconut). It's cold here and I really wanted a warm cup of coffee so I heated up the cold brew I made a few days ago. I had a protein shake and did a few things around the house before getting cleaned up and heading out on an errand. I cleaned up my dresser and a bit in my closet. I took the donations into Royal Oak to the Salvation Army. There were 2 bags full and it was nice to free up some space. After I stopped at Starbuck's for a macchiato and then over to Premier Pet Supply to buy Stryker's food. We have him and Jack on Farmina which is an Italian brand. It's a fabulous food. You can check out the ingredients here.
Once I got home I started on lunch. You guessed it! Another one from PaleOMG. This is her Bacon, Chicken and braised cabbage. I used purple cabbage since I already had the bag opened. This had such good flavor! The cabbage was soft and there was a slight amount of juice left at the bottom of the bowl. It was a good amount of cabbage and I was a little bloated but nothing like I have been. A few hours later I was instantly hungry! I had the other half of my cinnamon raisin bar left from yesterday so I ate that since dinner wouldn't be for a couple hours.
I also had some cold brew. I had my meditation session and was really tired after it. I know I'm relaxed when I'm practically falling over during trying to keep awake, which I do, but still!
Tonight is breakfast for dinner and so excited to try coconut flour pancakes. I'm curious if I will have the insulin spike I had with cassava flour. If I do, well that just leaves Tiger Nut Flour to try. I may not be able to have any for a while and if that's the case I am ok with it. Nothing is forever! I am trying Perfect Paleo Protein Pancakes with Coconut Flour and Cinnamon from Kat Gavlick over on Organic Authority and you can get that recipe here if you would like to try it! Not AIP since it has egg, but I can have them a few times a week and I know you remember that! I try to keep all my offending foods in one day so I don't have any gut issues. That said I do have 2 break outs, so I know I need to scale some things back. Like brussels, broccoli, nuts and sugar. I am jumping back into the Whole30/Sugar Detox again with my bestie!
I find coconut flour a little on the dry side and I don't use syrup but I do love my peanut butter on them! I could have add banana and blueberry preserves to them! Oh well, I did save the other half for later this week (Saturday maybe?!) and could easily do it then.
