Day Three hundred and ninety: New Year's Eve

Lunch: Brown rice wrap, pumpkin puree, cheese, and spinach.  This is my current favorite lunch.

Brown sugar cookies, to be turned into the crust for a...

Cheesecake.  Family recipe, and it would not be the holidays without it.

Dinner (Carnivore-Lite): Grilled chicken, roasted rosemary potatoes, and sesame broccoli.  My dad is picky about most everything I make, and he was raving about the broccoli.  The recipe is definitely a keeper.

Cheesecake, up close and personal.

Day Three hundred and seventy-five

I did a tiny bit of cooking ahead this morning.  Since I tend to plan out meals in advance, I've been trying to get into the habit of baking ahead as well.  Once I'm already baking, and have the ingredients out, flour all over the place, I figure I may as well make at least one or two things I'll need next. In this instance, I made rolls for tomorrow's breakfast while I was baking this morning's breakfast. Tomorrow, I can skip a step, and don't have to bake and clean-up.

Breakfast: Pumpkin bread (You Won't Believe its Gluten Free) with almonds and blueberries.

English muffins, for tomorrow's breakfast (recipe: You Won't Believe it's Gluten Free).

Lunch: Turkey and cheese in a brown rice wrap (with pumpkin puree melted into the cheese), celery, and apple slices.

Dinner: Gluten-free chicken nuggets, white rice (with cauliflower puree, ala Double Delicious), applesauce, and broccoli. Can you tell my husband planned this meal? I can.  ;)  But after having made breakfast and lunch, I was happy to let him handle dinner.

Day Three hundred and seventy-one

Granola bars (recipe: The Eat-Clean Diet for Family and Kids).  I wrapped each in plastic wrap so my daughter could take them to school for snack.

School lunch: PBJ on a brown rice wrap, mini butterscotch brownie, babybel cheese, apple, carrots.  This lunch is clearly the work of my husband.  :)

Day Three hundred and seventy

Lunch: Crunchy quesadilla (brown rice wrap, sliced turkey, cheese- with pureed pumpkin spread on the wrap, it melts right into the cheese), baby spinach, and apple.

Quesadilla sticks (the above quesadilla sliced into strips with a pizza cutter), perfect for little hands.

Lotion.  Every once in a while I make a batch.

Day Three hundred and sixty-seven

Breakfast: Mighy tasty hot cereal (Bob's Red Mill) with chunks of apples and cinnamon.

School lunch: Rolled-up deli turkey, tortilla chips, babybel cheese, baby spinach, and grapes.

Not-school lunch: Turkey and cheese in a brown rice wrap (with pumpkin puree spread on the wrap, to be disguised in the melted cheese) with baby spinach and orange slices.

Day Three hundred and forty-five



Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with cheese in a brown rice wrap, and fresh pineapple.

Dinner: Turkey legs.  Being that this is too cave-man for me, I ate leftovers, and made sure to fed the girls vegetables and fruit to balance it out.

Lunchpail muffins (recipe: The Eat-Clean Diet for Family and Kids).  I added blueberries.  These will go in the freezer to be used as a lunchbox add-in, or school snack.

Day Three hundred and thirty

We were headed to a dinner party and in charge of bringing desserts. These are both gluten-free, of course, but I share them with one caveat... I cannot recall my recipe sources.  I'm catching up on two month's worth of food photos (life got ahead of me!), and now my memory fails me.  I intend to scour my recipes and figure out where I got these two, and I'll update this post as soon I remember.  All I can say is that both were goood.

Apple tart (with cheese filling).



Brownie pie.

Lunch for tomorrow: PBJ on a brown rice wrap, cottage cheese, apple, and baby carrots.
