What did you eat today?

[Crankin]

B: had my carb fill for the week. DH made waffles, and I ate 2, with walnuts and dried cranberries, 2 slices bacon, and a small bowl of blueberries and strawberries, coffee
L: chicken salad with almonds, cup of butternut squash soup
went for 22.5 mile ride, very hilly (4 mile climb with 4-7% grades), windy. I ate a Lara Bar during the ride.
S: my stomach is hurting from taking Advil, and I felt the need to eat, to ease it, when I got home. I had some whole wheat pita rounds and red pepper hummus
D: I made some sweet potato soup (yummy) and DH insisted on making some toasted garlic rounds out of a baguette (well, part of one), which I did not refuse.
Catrin, I find I don't use the Well Fed cookbook as much as the other Paleo cookbook I have, only because it's based on the premise of cooking a whole bunch of stuff and freezing it/using it all week, and I just don't like to do that. I do use a few of the recipes a consistent basis, though, so I might look at the second version. I love buying cookbooks.

Brunch: Waffles with butter and maple syrup, apple cinnamon goat cheese, coffee
S1: Handful of coconut chips, apple with PB, more goat cheese
D: Leftover pumpkin/chicken/kale pasta
S: Slice of cheesecake and decaf chai?

Crankin - what other Paleo cookbook do you have? Nom Nom Paleo is releasing one in mid-December. My favorite internet recipes are from her site so I must...have...cookbook. I do have Practical Paleo - which is a great reference book with both information and lots of good recipes. She also has a cookbook being released in the next couple of weeks... By the time I have the 3 new cookbooks I have my eye on I won't need any more for a long time - 2 are certain, one is a maybe. I DO have an electronic paleo cookbook but that was a waste of money - the cookbook itself is fine - I've found I really prefer a physical book for a cookbook.

The nice thing about cookbooks is they force me to broaden my horizons - and I do like to pre-cook for the week as much as time allows so Well Fed is a great match for me. Well Fed 2 doesn't duplicate information or recipes from the first one, so I think it would be a fine addition to your cookbook library

B: last of the current frittata and coffee, time to make more of the first
L: I am taking some Czech meatballs, more of the butternut squash + creamy spinach gratin, and a small salad
D: planning on brisket, spaghetti squash, brussel sprouts
Rest day today

The other Paleo cookbook I have is called "The Food Lovers Make It Paleo" by Bill Staley. Not quite sure of the last name. The recipes here are really good and I use this all of the time, even though I am not eating strictly Paleo anymore.

[Crankin]

B: half a Lara Bar before boot camp. Almond milk, 2 eggs scrambled with a corn tortilla, and yellow tomato, salsa, 2 chicken breakfast sausages.
L: shredded chicken with grated cheddar and green chili salsa, 1/4 avocado, an apple
S: nuts, cranberries, chocolate bits
D: meatballs made from ground pork and quinoa, roasted Brussel sprouts, glass of red wine, 2 squares dark chocolate

Guess no one else is posting here???
B: can of tuna in olive oil over sliced farm fresh tomatoes, small cup of left over sweet potato soup, an orange, coffee
L: 4 of the pork/quinoa meatballs, sweet potato, 1/4 avocado, an apple
S: handful of nuts and cranberries, later I had a Lara Bar
D: finished the sweet potato soup (not much, maybe 3/4 a cup) and had a salad with shredded chicken, grape tomatoes, chick peas, sprinkle of goat cheese, 2 squares dark chocolate

[Catrin]

I am, just not so good about doing it every day as I should. It does help and provides a bit of accountability.


B: very small last piece of frittata, 2 Czech meatballs, spaghetti squash, coffee
group training session followed by protein shake
L: Czech meatballs, last of the butternut squash + creamy spinach gratin, and a small salad
S: boiled egg, small apple
D: I love hot dogs and was glad to find a brand I don't feel guilty about eating, haven't had one in many years! Grass-fed/uncured/no ingredients that I can't pronounce Trader Joe's sells, them, Applewood? is the brand - "Organic Hot Dogs".
2 hot dogs, sweet potato, brussel sprouts, 2 squares dark chocolate, small glass of milk.
