Detox day 16

I can't believe I've been doing this for 16 days. The first week was probably the most difficult. But now I find myself thinking things like: "I never need to buy mayo again. I can always easily make my own." And: "I am enjoying eating things that are good for my body. Except those darn pancakes. Ewe."

Today for breakfast we ate the quiche that I had prepped last night. It was really hearty and filling. It had chard, zuchini, mushrooms, bacon, etc. Totally left me satisfied. That's what she said.

I also attempted a hollandaise sauce. I didn't have a very good double broiler set up. And the babies needed my attention. So it turned out lumpy and weird. I added too much lemon too. And that is saying something. Cause I LOVE lemon.

For lunch we ate leftover chili verde. Still just as good as when we had it for dinner on Sunday.

For dinner tonight I was going to make a thai beef stew but realized I should have started it cooking 5 hours earlier in the crock pot. So I chose to cook a Wedding Soup from another Paleo Cookbook. It was good, but I added some extra stuff to it to add a little more depth of flavor. It's a brothy soup with veggies and meatballs. Very filling but still tasted pretty light. I was going to make a salad too but it was just me and the kiddos tonight and making a salad felt like more work than it was worth. If anyone wants this recipe let me know.

Tonight was hectic. Dray is in a phase. A yucky phase. He spits, and runs away from me when he has dangerous things in his hands like knives. He rolls his eyes at me, says no, ignores me, pushes kids around, etc. All pretty normal toddler boy stuff I think. But it's really getting to me. Patience is something I have yet to master with kids. I love him to Jupiter and back, but that doesn't mean I don't want to tackle him when he spits at me or yells no and runs. So after a crazy evening yelling more than I should have at him, I will admit, I wanted a small utah mint truffle. Some piece of sugar to tell me it was all going to be ok. haha. But I brushed my teeth with Avi and got over it quick enough. In the future, during moments like this, I plan on a small portion of paleo lemon curd ice cream. Can't wait to make some. Although I will need an ice cream maker.......Doug? Here's a link bellow for you to look over....hee hee.
