Jo Nevares Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 So I have family coming in for the weekend. We won't be here for every meal, but I presume at least breakfast and some snack times. What should I have on hand for them so they will see the beauty of my new lifestyle eating!? I want them to be comfortable, but I also don't want any foods in my house that might trigger my cravings! Yikes! I will be on days 5,6,7 when they arrive. Can anyone suggest some cool breakfast options? I figure I will at least have eggs, fruit, and bacon (the bacon I have has sugar so it has been in the freezer, but my guests can have it)! They are carb chip coffee cake lovers ;/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Sweet potato fritters are so good, and surprisingly easy to make! Add a little cinnamon and they are just as satisfying as pancakes or french toast for your carb-loving family! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Nevares Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Thank you both! I just want to have a good line of defense! If I can make it through this particular weekend, I know I can make it the whole way through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Blue Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 You could also look at this challenge from a different perspective. Instead of worrying about upsetting your guests with your restrictions, you can be taking the opportunity to broaden their horizons by introducing them to new/different foods, or familiar foods prepared in a different way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runningforme82 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I crashed and burned on my sweet potato fritters, I need to try them again! Think the first time I miscalculated the cinnamon...wow! Way too much! HA! I make a fritatta every week to have for the week. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 You could also look at this challenge from a different perspective. Instead of worrying about upsetting your guests with your restrictions, you can be taking the opportunity to broaden their horizons by introducing them to new/different foods, or familiar foods prepared in a different way I totally agree with this. Just cook what you know is healthy for everyone and tasty and maybe have a loaf of bread around for those that insist. We can't force everyone to do what we are doing...(as much as I truly want to). Leading by example in this case is probably the way to go. Just don't have things that sabotage you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
