This diet DEFINITELY makes you step outside the box, and get creative. It's somewhat rewarding to see what you can concoct, and takes a little more planning & effort when preparing a meal.
Since the shrimp I had yesterday were cold, and plain and not so tasty. I decided to warm them up in the toaster oven after sprinkling them with chili powder. Then, I tossed them inside my spinach salad & drizzled with lemon juice. It was actually a nice combo- the spice of the chili & sweet/tart of the lemon. I am sure I will make that one again. I tried to make a dressing of cider vinegar, bragg's liquid amino's, garlic powder & mustard powder- uh, not so much. It was way too salty and the cider vinegar just didn't cut it. I'll have to get some wine vinegar, I enjoy that much more. I wonder if my taste buds will change through this process, and become more ALIVE!!
I'm pretty confident I might need to invest in a lemon orchard, as I am going to use them QUITE liberally these next few weeks. It was interesting to discover that limes are not allowed, because they are actually sweeter & contain more sugar. I did not know this!
Having spent the day in solitude, has been somewhat relaxing yet lonely at the same time (after dropping the kids off this morning). I miss Bry and the kids. Tomorrow I have my SBDC appointment in the morning, then I'm going to make my Whole Foods run for buffalo & fish, among other things.
There are so many snacks abound in this house, that peer out at me when I don't want to see them!! I have to say though, I'm sticking to my guns. Going to print a photo of our resort in Maui, as the clock is ticking and our dream vacation will be here before I know it, and that is my end in sight :)
