Frigid Friday

I shouldn't complain - it did warm up to the low 30s here today. :) Below zero temps are really unusual here, though!

Yesterday was crazy busy. We had:
  • leftover raw smoothies and bone broth for breakfast
  • leftovers for lunch
  • stuffed acorn squash and bacon for supper

I found a few slices of bacon in the freezer, and decided we'd finish it last night. We don't eat pork for many reasons, but since this was the expensive nitrite-free stuff, I couldn't toss it...and I ended up feeling gross all night, while DS actually puked his up. Should have tossed it, I guess. Anyway, that's the last of the pork.

Today, we had:

  • leftover sourdough pancakes w/ kefir cheese & mango puree
  • tuna salad for lunch
  • leftover meat & beet pate for supper

I had planned to cook a roast, but got it out too late. Plus, I've never cooked a sirloin tip before and wanted to check out a few recipes first...so I put it off for now.

Tomorrow, we'll eat:

  • fried eggs for breakfast
  • leftover stuffed squash for lunch
  • honey mustard tilapia with sweet potatoes & kale for supper

We're hoping to have our first showing this weekend - the forecast called for nice weather, which is great for house-hunting...so I definitely don't want to end up in the middle of something complicated, only to have to leave it for later. The bacony odor from last night was still grossing me out this morning, too. Have to think about that before I cook...

Trying Tuesday

What a loooong day! Here's what we ate today:
  • mango/banana/avocado kefir smoothies for breakfast
  • leftovers for lunch
  • Marlboro Man's sandwiches and celebration pate for supper

We ended up so hungry when we got back from ballet that we ate the bread as a toasty snack with butter and honey, then just ate the meat and the beet pate for supper. :)

I think I'll hit the sack early tonight - tomorrow's another busy day, so we'll have:

  • pumpkin custard with kefir cheese for breakfast
  • leftover something for lunch
  • leftover quiche and fruit salad for supper

Tomorrow will be grain-free, unless I need some brown rice to stretch the lunch leftovers. We'll be gluten-free, at any rate.

Manic Monday

Today was going to be a slow day...a "savor-time-with-the-kids-since-I've-been-so-stinkin'-busy-lately" day. I planned to focus on school, cooking, and recouping from the last couple of weeks with lots of snuggle time.

But.

I ended up needing to re-take the pics for our realtor...and the kids were home...which means a job that would have taken me an hour by myself turned into a 4-hour ordeal. Plus editing time.

Unfortunately, I didn't find out I'd need to play photographer again until I had started into my 3-hour pancake ritual. Sigh.

Today, we're having:
  • sourdough blueberry pancakes topped with kefir cheese and mango puree for breakfast
  • eggs & kimchi for lunch
  • kale quiche and fruit salad for supper

I made the eggs quick since the kids were starving and I still had pics to take...then I realized I had quiche down for supper. Oh well.
