Paul and I had set aside tonight for grocery shopping but neither of us felt like driving out to Arlington (the stores we visit out there are larger and have a wider selection of goods than the grocery store close to our apartment in DC). We decided to grab our reusable bags and take our chances at the store a couple of blocks from our place. The weather was nice for walking, at least.
As I suspected, they were out of certain things I wanted (broccoli, squash, zucchini, etc), but I found enough staples to ensure I can make everything on my meal plan this week.
(In those green produce bags are bell peppers, cabbage, onions, and avocado. That pear juice in the back is Paul’s.)
Breakfast: Two hard boiled eggs, leftover shredded chicken
Lunch: Coconut Curry Chicken Stir-Fry served over kelp noodles (last night’s dinner)
Dinner: Baked salmon, cucumber salad, zucchini and squash
The salmon turned out really well. I rubbed the filets with a little bit of olive oil and a smear of Dijon mustard, then sprinkled them with salt and pepper. The aluminum foil-covered pan baked for 20 minutes in a 350-degree oven.
(Reminder: I’m following the Whole30 for the month of July. Here’s why.)
I just started reading It Starts with Food. I just randomly picked it up at the library. So far so good. I have been mainly Paleo for the past 2 years, but am still having some health issues. I am still hoping for that miracle moment that people describe with this diet. I’m considering doing their 30 day challenge in September. Too much traveling going on right now.
I know what you mean! I’m hoping for that miracle cure myself, but I’m also very realistic. I just hope I find a noticeable difference.
I’ve been considering buying It Starts with Food for my Kindle because I’ve seen a lot of positive reviews, but haven’t done it yet. Do you think it would be worth buying? My library doesn’t have it.
I’m only 5 chapters in so not sure. So far it is good information in an easy to understand format, but because I am not new to this arena, it is mostly review for me at this point. I would definitely recommend it to someone who was new to the whole Paleo idea.
That’s what I was wondering — if the book was mainly geared to people who are new to it. I wish I could check it out from my library. :)
