I was going to take a pic of my dinner last night. But, then I realized it didn't look that good or exciting. It was actually very tasty. I had a salad with kale, spinach and romaine mixture topped with a little organic raw cheese, lots of fresh mushrooms, jimaca and a some Greek yogurt salad dressing. I just tried jimaca and I like it. I like how it gives my salad some crunch. But please don't ask me to describe its flavor. I told my friend yesterday that it was kinda sweet but more like dirt. Not a great description. Jeff grilled chicken legs. I have never bought chicken legs before. They were the all natural, no hormones, no steroids and on sale. I made smashed cauliflower with a little coconut oil, fresh mozzarella and a smidgen of real butter. It was great! My kids ate everything too. Jacob loved the jimaca in his salad. After his salad was gone he said, "mom, I love how you put apples in our salad tonight!" According to Jacob it tastes like apple. Hmm...Jimaca pie, anyone?
This morning the kids had Greek yogurt, toast and bananas for breakfast. I couldn't pass up toast with the kids. So, I had two slices of toast with real butter! Real butter! (I just wanted to say it again) My breakfast was heavenly. I know, it was toast. I am not losing my mind. The bread was Pepperidge Farms 15 grain. I was really excited to see 2 slices is 10g protein. I will probably have my shakeology in a little bit.
I always knew coconut oil and olive oil are good for us. They are healthy fats and we really need them. What I just learned is real butter is a healthy fat too! It is okay to eat real butter. Don't go crazy and eat the whole stick. I thought this was the best news ever. Stay away from margarine for ever...like ever.
Last night I went to health food store for groceries. This is so new to me. I felt like when I walked in everyone there knew I had no idea what I was doing. They would have been right. And why does the health food store smell like hippies? The first thing I noticed, besides the smell, is how incredibly expensive everything is. Really brings new meaning to saying, 'will work for food.' I told Jeff that seriously, I am going to have to step it up a notch and make more money for us to be healthy. I am sure we will find our groove. A lot of staples I will not have to buy each time I go to the store. Driving home I felt like there is no turning back now. This has become an investment.
