RangerAJ Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Monday went well. Eggloaf for breakfast. Had appointments in town. So I packed a serving of Creamy Italian Dressing (Well Fed Cookbook) into a lunch cooler,,,and headed out. For Lunch I had a Chicken Breast Chopped Salad from Subway,,,and used my dressing on it. Delicious!! I had a meeting in the evening that included a buffet. So.....I threw leftover Shepherd's Pie, and some grapes, and tomatoes into a container and went. I ate the food I brought instead of the Pasta Bar Buffet. I think....No I know...my dinner was better. Lets do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerAJ Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Day 22 Gone! This has gotten much easier. I was commenting to a friend today,,,that since starting,,,,my vegetable purchases have exploded!,,,and I am actually having challenges to keeping enough in the house. I have gone bonkers purchasing spices,,,and other items to help me start. To stop at 30 days would be a waste of my money,,, so I have decided to go Whole100. My husband says he notices the excess weight coming off me,,,and I can tell you my uniform is fitting better. I had to bring my duty belt in one notch today,,,as it was feeling loose. Hurrah!!! I have been able to experiment with a couple new recipes a week,,,as I try out new things. Lets keep going! AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerAJ Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Day 24 looks great! Thank You Shelley for keeping tabs on me. Last night I made Meat & Spinach Muffins. They came out Great! The recipe says you can grab-em on the go....and eat hot or cold. 12 of them in the batch.... I will have some extras for lunches this week. Today I am making Sunshine Sauce. Sounds yummy.... I still feel terrific,,,,and look forward to the end of the month,,,so I can look back at where I have been,,,and where I am now. Got our order from Bountiful Basket last night. We decided to order the Organic veggies/fruit. Not a HUGE assortment,,,but nice. Included in the bundle was Collard Greens. I have never eaten or cooked with them before. I am thinking of chopping up,,,and placing in this week's Eggloaf. Have a Great Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerAJ Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Tackled some new recipes over the weekend. Made some Sunshine Sauce. Very good. Tastes like a authentic Thai Sauce. I also made a batch of "Ras El Hanout". Very Moroccan! For Dinner last night I made Cinnamon Beef Stew w/ an Orange Gramalad. The kitchen smelled like magic! The flavors were amazing. Today I had Eggloaf for breakfast. Lunch.... Missed it. Dinner..pork Chop,, w/drizzle of Sunshine Sauce. Mashed Cauliflower, and Cumin Roasted Carrots. Onward!

johnny_rugger Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Just a note on collard greens. They take a long time to cook or they'll be tough. Sauté some onions and garlic in bacon fat then add a smoked ham hock and season liberally with chili powder, and salt & pepper. I also add cayenne pepper. Then throw in the greens and add chicken broth/water to cover. Heat to a boil, cover and simmer on low for about 1.5hrs. Make sure there is no sugar in the bacon but everything else should be good. In the South we eat a lot of greens Great log & keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerAJ Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Day 29 is here!!! This journey has been very rewarding in the way I feel,,,and look. i don't want to go back to my crazy eating ways. Speaking with my husband, I have decided to move fwd and continue eating a Paleo Diet. This weekend I will post a couple before/after pics with results. Take care!
