Parsley makes a fabulous pesto too! Good on pretty much anything (eggs, fish, and lots of stuff you don't eat like bread and pasta).Quote:

I haven't been posting here since I've been sick, as I've totally fallen off of the clean eating wagon. Well, I've had a whole wheat bagel, whole wheat cous cous, a few slices of Ezekial bread. I know this is not really bad, but I'd been eating pretty clean. Well, now I'm going away for a long weekend of x country skiing, which always includes lots of eating. I will try to be good, but don't think I can be totally Paleo.
I did make the Shepard's Pie recipe from the Eat Well cookbook. It was kind of a fail. Not sure what happened, but I think I need less broth and more meat. The mashed cauliflower on the top was a big hit though, and very easy to make. That will become a staple.
Will start posting my food again next Monday.
I just learned that GLC, which is great news!
B: parsley/sausage fritata, coffee with cream
1 hour group training session that featured deadlifts, hang-cleans & front-squats galore :)
L: green beans, carrots, roasted chicken
D: kale and arm roast (braised)
The grouper sounds good, I need to force myself to eat more fish...
B: eggs n turkey bacon, coffee
L: low fat chilli with avocado
D: skinned chicken legs, cottage cheese, mango chobani
S: soy nuts, yogurt smoothie
So pooped. Going to bed. Good luck everyone on your weight loss and training goals :-)
Thanks for the tip, GLC! Please keep the travel menu ideas coming....I have several travels coming up and it's always a challenge to eat well when I'm on the road.
B: cereal, strawberries, 2% milk, coffee, 1 piece wg toast with butter
1 donut (had to try our new dunkin donuts) with a cup of coffee
L: 1 piece chicken thigh leftover with chili sauce, 1 piece wg bread with butter
D: salmon, asparagus, pasta, 1 glass white wine
Today:
B: scrambled eggs with baby spinach over small amount of sweet potato hash, 2 thin slices of fresh side pork - I call it bacon (cooked with salt and pepper - yummm :), coffee (no cream!)
90 minute HARD workout!
post workout snack: boiled egg whites, 1/2 banana
L: chili over baby spinach, the other half of that banana
D: Probably sirloin steak if I can make up my mind how I want to cook it, green beans, salad. Perhaps a small baked sweet potato, perhaps not.
Still kind of hungry after lunch, I might have to have a snack of a few hazelnuts or macadamia nuts with some strawberries...hmmmmmmmm
