Considering the most active part of my day is mid afternoon to evening Im thinking I should probably switch up my snack time with lunch time. Its a bit of a hassle trying to get in a few bites of lunch between a four hour span. The snacks aren't that time consuming to eat and would probably work best for me if eaten around 5. I'll have to give it a shot and see how that works out for me on Day 11.
As for TheFiances schedule, his is pretty much dictated by his jobs break which I would imagine makes it easier for him. Plus he's not as neurotic as I am about hunger. Its like I'm scared to feel hungry or something.. its crazy talk but I need to relax and trust that these nutritious foods are going to take care of my bodys needs.
The strawberry avocado tacos were great. I feel like they could have used someting else flavorwise but I couldn't quite put my finger on what.. maybe some crushed red pepper... is that crazy? :) They were slightly sweet with the creamy avocado bits and theres even some edamame in there for extra bite and protein. Once again, a combination I never would have thought of putting together but very satisfying! TheFiance did a great job of getting it altogether while I made our lunches ♥
The snack recipe originally called for apples but another trip to the grocery store is in order and I substituted a pear instead.
Lunch was a little rushed as my coworker and I got in a few last minute orders to fill and I had to take a few bites in at a time. The onions were a little overkill for me (and TheFiance as well) but replacing half the onion with mushrooms might just be a gold star.
Dinner was great as Ive always been a fan of broccoli and of course, pasta. After cooking everything I was afraid it was going to be rather dry (sans sauce and or cheese) but I was surprised that just a little bit of lemon over everything kept it refreshingly good.
In other news, prior to writing this blog I checked on the status of the amazon shipment of dried mulberries and it looks as though they should be in this afternoon.
woohoo! yet another "something new" for us!
