Clean Eating: Day 2
Sorry for the delayed post for Day 2: prepping food for 4 and working all day leaves no time for blogging!
In case you didn't get on Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook or leave your house on Tuesday, it was National Pizza Day! And lucky for us.... there was absolutely no pizza on Tuesday's menu!
Carrot cake oatmal
Left over frittata for lunch
Celery and almond butter
Roasted chicken with barley and brussel sprouts
Pumpkin bark for dessert
We had just made oatmal for breakfast a few days prior, so we opted to switch out Wednesday's breakfast on Tuesday (overnight cherry tart oats) which were BOMB. 5% because they were made by me, 3000% just the actual ingredients.
The leftover frittata was.. left over? Fine, but not as good as the first go round. I added some Chiptole Tabasco on top which helped, a lot.
The celery/almond butter/raisin combo was a great snack, almond butter is a cross between peanut butter and cookie butter but way healthier than cookie butter but still good enough to trick you!
The roasted chicken, according to Buzzfeed, was supposed to completely spice-less and looked like an unappetizing piece of rubber in the pictures, so we added some Tony's to the top and called it a win. Your move, Buzzfeed.
Our family LOVES barley, and the way you cook it (with chicken stock in a pot) was similar to the way we cook risotto, so it was all smiles for us.
Pumpkin bark for dessert was a good substitute for frozen yogurt! Topped with pomegrante seeds and pistachios, it was just the right amount of sweet we needed to finish the day.
We ate dinner pretty early on Tuesday, so naturally I was hungry by 9 pm.
I laid in bed and watched Tasty videos on Facebook for a time I'm unwilling to openly admit.
Happy National Pizza Day!
