Week 2 – Sunday – Lazy Day

1 p.m. I’ve been less than productive on this Sunday. Slept in until 10 a.m. Which is unheard of for me. So nice however for once not to have to set an alarm and great that we really don’t have to go anywhere except to Costco. It’s also supposed to snow today so a good day just to lay low.

For breakfast I did make the family the following: https://www.livewellbakeoften.com/chocolate-chip-greek-yogurt-pancakes/ and the whole family gave it a thumbs up. Of course the kids added extra chocolate chips and also whip cream. I just stuck to adding a small amount of maple syrup to the top. I did modify the recipe and used olive oil instead of regular oil. I don’t believe chocolate chips are clean eating so need to experiment a bit more with that but it did only have a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and it made 16 pancakes. Haven’t done the math yet but don’t think that’s too bad. I probably need to purchase some darker chocolate as I believe it has less sugar in it.

My goal today once I actually get out of my pajamas is to make some healthy banana bread again and some healthy muffins to go with my vegetable soup. Recipe to follow on that tomorrow as the veggie soup is on the menu for tomorrow night.

10 p.m. I’m exhausted. Besides the trip to Costco it seems like I spent the rest of the day in the kitchen. I made some marinated mushrooms which were amazing. https://cookinglsl.com/easy-marinated-mushrooms-recipe/. I also made the following snack: https://cookeatpaleo.com/paleo-snack-mix/. I was only able to find smoked paprika, not the hot or sweet kind or smoked sea salt so I just used regular sea salt and smoked paprika. I liked it. Could have used more salt but I will definitely be making that again.

For dinner we had potatoes in the oven with olive oil, season salt and garlic and pepper seasoning and then I made burgers. I opted not to have a bun with mine to make it more low carb.

And finished up the evening by making raspberry muffins. So good. We are going to have those with our soup tomorrow night. https://www.sweetashoney.co/whole-wheat-banana-muffins-an-easy-snacks-for-kids/
