12/21/2014 – sorry I’m a bit late posting this. Today I decided to try a paleo chicken teriyaki recipe. Coconut aminos as a soy sauce substitute are fabulous. That combined with fresh ginger and garlic. Yum. My version was with sliced chicken breast and I marinated it for an hour or so. Since it was a bit salty, I pared it with some of my carrot, jicama, parsnip, apple, salad and called it dinner.
Confession of the day: today I snacked. I had a small bowl of cashews and a few spicy plantain chips that I had made last night. I think I know what the “problem” was. My daughter was working until 8 and I wanted to wait to eat with her. But, I was really hungry. In hindsight I should have just had dinner when I was hungry.
Other meals consisted of the turnip/leak hash with fried eggs for breakfast. Goya meatballs for lunch. I was a bit busy today with preparing Christmas gifts and lost track of time. Probably didn’t eat enough, another reason for the snackage (sure that is a word in my little world) .
My mother is finishing baking her fabulous german raisin bread. A regular Christmas gift to her nearest and dearest. I can’t wait to get mine. I’m confessing now that I will be breaking briefly the “no bread” rule when this happens. My mom’s arthritis is getting worse every year. I don’t know when the last raisin bread will be here. I’m not going to miss a single one between now and then. As I mentioned in the last post, I plan on living well and there my moms raisin bread is part of that plan. So good!
Since, honey is technically paleo. I’m putting today in the paleo column.
