Today, we successfully navigated a holiday. Turkey Day was a hit.

Breakfast

Pre-gamed my green smoothie before starting the heavy cooking.

Lunch

$&@!?$! Delicious Turkey Day lunch.

Clockwise from left:

Pecan Stuffing (recipe coming Saturday) – damn this was ridiculously good

Twice-baked loaded cauliflower (like a loaded potato)

My stab at giblet gravy (blasphemous: mine was actually better than what I remembered from my childhood)

Broiled green beans

Turkey that turned out pretty damn good for turkey

Lemon squares that aren’t square because I don’t own a square dish 

Dinner

HaHa. Nope. Had dessert mid-afternoon since lunch was at lunch time, a couple 1-ounce meatballs at a little after dinner time. 

Snack

I’m counting all the turkey skin I ate while picking the carcass so I could make bone broth as a delicious snack.

It’s a holiday. I didn’t *want* to plug everything in (read: I was too lazy). I will say this: I probably didn’t hit 20 carbs, I most likely went over on protein, I ate bunches of fat with everything but probably didn’t get enough, and my food was damn satisfying. 

Today was good. Felt good – digestion was back to normal – and although I was starving cstartung at 4pm and continuing until my second snack, life was fine.

Breakfast

Vanilla chia smoothie.

Lunch

Back to my big salads! The last of the chicken breast (good thing too, the chicken was on its way out), Rosemary dressing, mixed greens & hemp hearts.

Dinner

I’ve been suuuuuuper productive all day and have done little but watch YouTube. It’s been a Texan In Tokyo kind of day and I was feeling Japanese.

Made this quick bonito broth, steamed cauliflower & frozen spinach soup with pan-seared salmon and sesame oil drizzle.

Snack

Lemon fat bombs right after dinner

Then sunbutter fat bombs after yoga.

Today was full of willpower triumph.

Breakfast

Today’s smoothie was chocolate sun butter. I missed my spinach.

Lunch

Totally forgot to take a picture, but today I had a lunch meeting at an Indian buffet. Normally, I’d be reaching for the naan basket and all up in a plate of every variety of non-lentil dish available. With a tiiiiiny side of rice.

And gulab(sp) – the dessert that looks like a doughnut hole swimming in syrup.

But not today.

Today, I stuck to tandoori chicken, a vegetarian spicy cabbage side, and the iceburg salad. I ate way too much protein, and most likely a little too many carbs given my breakfast smoothie, but damn it was delicious. 

Delicious, but TMI – my digestive system was not prepared for the level of spice and restaurant-ness of the food.

Dinner

I was supposed to have a non-fairly Keto waffle & pork Rind crusted chicken sandwich, but I had no more protein left in my macros, and the batter got stuck in the waffle iron – so I had pancakes with butter. The pic is the DH’s dinner – complete with the chicken.

Snack

Had planned to have some lemony fat bombs, but was not hungry after all.

Today was fine. No health issues and I was mostly not hangry.

Breakfast

Another green smoothie variation. I should really round up my faves for a recipe post.

Lunch

A Big Ass Salad of: Italian mix greens, baby spinach, a little cruciferous crunch, green onions, sliced chicken breast, hemp hearts & creamy Rosemary dressing. Delicious.

Dinner

Made a quick little dinner of more sliced chicken, frozen broccoli & a hand full of chopped pecans cooked in bacon fat and butter. 

Apparently, all I want to eat on keto is chicken & broccoli and chicken & guac. I’m cool with this.

Snack

Sun Butter Fat Bombs

Today was good. Had a bit of nausea because I layed in bed too late without eating breakfast, but other than that I felt fine.
Breakfast

1/4 cup macadamia nuts & coffee.
Lunch

Went to one of our favorite brunch/lunch spots and got a veggie omelette with sliced tomatoes on the side and coffee. 

Dinner
Another guac & chicken bowl – this time with some crazy good fresh kraut we grabbed at a food/craft fair.

Snack

Made another type of fat bomb – Sunflower seed butter.

Also had 1/4 cup raw almonds.
