Tip of the Day: Be a dinner guest. :)
I live near my Aunt E and some of my other aunts visit frequently. I love my family and always try to see them when they are in town. Today, my Aunt E invited me to join her and my Aunt L for dinner. My family (both immediate and extended) are aware of paleo and do their best to help me stay on track when I so desire. My sweet Aunt E graciously modified my meal so that it fit within paleo guidelines. We had a wonderful meal and great conversation. I am so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life.
Meals:
Breakfast: 3 omega 3 eggs, a necterine, and Passion tea
Lunch: leftover turkey chili
Dinner: honey baked turkey, steamed zucchini and onions, tomatoes and cucumbers, olives...and 2 cinnamon raisin cookies for dessert
The steamed zucchini and onions took the place of a zucchini casserole that looked AMAZING! Just imagine zucchini, bread crumbs, cream of mushroom soup, and parmesean cheese baked in the oven until soft and gooey. In these moments of temptation, I remind myself that this is not the last time I will ever encounter the dish AND as good as it looks, I know I will feel better and look better the next day if I pass. [FYI--the steamed zucchini and onions were very good and a great alternative!] Long term goals v. temporary pleasure.
