What did you eat today?

[Crankin]

B: 8 oz.plain Greek yogurt with blueberries, 2 slices uncured bacon, slice of whole wheat Ezekial toast with soy nut butter, coffee
L: Nicoise salad at a restaurant, with balsamic vinaigrette
S: an apple, 2 whole wheat pita round crackers
D: Moroccan meatballs with cauliflower "mashed potatoes, glass of red wine, 2 squares dark chocolate

[Catrin]

B: scrambled eggs with veggies, bacon, coffee
L: the "hidden" Med. Chicken Salad at Panaera - quite tasty!
S: boiled egg, dried strawberries
D: home-made "taco" salad with grass fed ground beef and a yummy cucumber-pineapple salsa over baby greens (both recipes from Practical Paleo)
S: made a breakfast frittata that just begged for sampling since it stuck to the pan...I sampled a bit too much

On the other hand, I feel human for the first time in 3 days, so will see what it feels like to do a good workout tomorrow

Crankin - how did you like the Moroccan meatballs? I plan on making another batch of the Czech meatballs Sunday evening, I really like those

[Crankin]

We both really liked the Moroccan meatballs, although the sauce did not thicken as I thought it would. The key, I think to good meatballs, is making them small. I served it over the cauliflower mashed "potatoes," and it tasted great. I froze about 1/3 of the recipe which was left over.

Do elaborate on the chicken...

[Catrin]

It is from "Practical Paleo" and you can find the recipe with a little review here. Easy and quite yummy - I've made it with capers and without and like both equally well.

[Crankin]

B: 3 eggs scrambled with lox, blueberries, one slice of Ezekial raisin toast
did a 12K fairly strenuous x country ski, during which time I ate a Luna Bar
L: There was a line snaked around the lodge to get food (which is very good), so we headed back toward home and stopped at a place we've gone to on rides, in Groton, but it's not open Sundays, when we are usually driving/riding by. I had a bowl of butternut squash soup, and DH and I shared a "pizzeta," which was a mini pizza, with tomatoes, artichoke hearts, proscuitto. I had 2, 4 inch pieces.

D: friends came over for dinner. As usual, the skiing made me ravenous, so I probably ate too many appetizers, some Machengo cheese, yellow pepper, and hummus. Had one chicken thigh with a spicy rub, roasted asparagus, sweet potato, and a green salad with vinaigrette, 2 glasses of red wine. Had a very small amount of chocolate and chocolate chip gelato.
