I got sidetracked for a while. some of that time was sidetracked as well from AIP, some of that time was filled with AIP goodness and no time for blogging.
Let's see how long I can stay this time!
So, I've been up since 8a and it's 10:30a and several meals for the week are done. Amazon Fresh delivered some groceries today at 9a and yesterday, my husband and I went out to see what we could get locally. Can't seem to snag a beef heart for the life of me, so as soon as I find one, I'll be buying a couple. I've been itching to try one and have an easy recipe. I've not been doing very well at eating my organ meats and I'm anxious to get back to it.
So... what's on the menu this week?
For breakfast, I just cooked a bunch of bacon and I'll pair it with an avocado/pineapple/spinach smoothie. I also have some chicken sausage to use up first. Bacon is absolutely okay to eat (in moderation, of course)! Yes, it's fatty, but it's a good fat. Much like avocados, our body needs these healthy fats. When I choose lean meats (which I do), and cut out things like nuts, my body simply isn't getting enough and not only will it help me feel full longer and cut down on some cravings, but it will also help improve cholesterol levels, which lowers my risk for heart disease. Every little bit helps, right?
For lunch, I've prepared a nomato crockpot chili. I dumped all of the ingredients into the crockpot last night and let 'er cook through the night. I woke up this morning to an amazing aroma. It's already been divided into 6 grab-n-go containers, although I probably could have easily made 7 or make smaller portions to go toward 8-10. This was my first time working with a rutabaga, so I'll let you know how I think after tasting it.
Dinner was supposed to be a crockpot beef heart, but we're gonna have to improvise (although most butchers here get their shipments on Monday, so I'll be calling around tomorrow to see where I can grab one).
