DAY FORTY FIVE:
classic coleslaw + bbq honey thyme chicken thighs + greek tomatoes (chopped tomatoes tossed in evoo, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt & pepper)….I LOVE coleslaw! I make my own dressing subbing out honey for sugar and almond milk for the milk and ya know what?? My family has no idea, it tastes just as good 🙂 Win!
DAY FORTY FOUR:
Grilled Teriyaki Beef & Veggies (carrots, celery, peppers, mushrooms & onions in a sauce of tamari, honey, orange juice concentrate, fresh minced ginger, garlic, white onion & chili peppers) on Zucchini Strips or “zucchini fettuccini” if you like…Pushing the limits on “salad” definition this eve I suspect…but it was worth the push, it was pretty good!
DAY FORTY TWO:
roasted cauliflower, carrot & toasted cashew salad with a simple dressing of fresh lemon, mayo, evoo & chives & lots of spicy chili flakes + apricot olive thyme chicken….THIS was good! It may not look like much, but the combo of the salad & chicken was great! And it was super easy and quick to put together, will be recreating this one again!
DAY THIRTY FIVE:
Grilled Chicken Thighs w/fresh Cilantro, Mint & Basil + Grilled Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms + Tomato + Avocado + Baby Spinach, Kale & Swiss Chard Greens + Dijon Vinaigrette
DAY THIRTY:
Curried Ginger Coconut Carrot Soup + Roasted Beet Chickpea Cauliflower Spinach Chicken Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette….very, very good. The sweet beets, the chewy crunchy salty chickpeas, hearty roasted cauliflower, delicious all together!
DAY TWENTY NINE:
Home at last! Hurray, never been so happy to eat oatmeal and fried eggs and salad, good, real salad…. It being Mother’s Day, Richard took over cooking duties tonight and out came a roasted veggie salad, so roasted eggplant, asparagus, red and yellow peppers, red onion, garlic, on crunchy fresh romaine finished with fresh pineapple chunks and cherry tomatoes, with a gigantic chicken breast on the side (which I could only eat about 2/3’s of). Just sprinkled a titch of balsamic vinegar and some salt and pepper to round it all out. Hope you all had a lovely Mother’s Day! 🙂
DAY TWENTY EIGHT:
Oh yeah, it gets worse….at the Zoo…ordered a “Chicken Salad”…out came a breaded deep fried chicken breast slices on top of a caesar salad…so my husband wound up eating two lunches, while I went back and ordered a garden salad and a hamburger, minus the bun. Actually, pretty satisfying. But maybe I was just really desperate at this point, after surviving on scoops of peanut butter, beef jerky, and kettle corn for 24 hours. ;/
DAY TWENTY FIVE:
The Chicken Fajita Salad – the guys had chicken fajita’s tonight (chicken, colored peppers, zucchini, mushroom & onion seasoned with chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, couple tbsp’s salsa and chicken stock), so I put that mixture on a bed of coleslaw mix & the crunchy bunched up parts of iceberg lettuce, topped with chopped tomatoes, avocados and cilantro. Dressing was salsa and a few dollops of guacamole! Crunchy, filling, really fresh, recommend!
