Happy day 3! How’s it going? I feel like things are going along a little more easily for me this time, but it’s only day 3. It helps that we were at Classical Conversations all day today (that’s our homeschool group) so I was really too busy to eat much or think about non-compliant food.

Knowing that my morning will be super busy getting my classroom set up and then standing while I teach for three hours, I planned a big breakfast and a hearty lunch.

Breakfast: pork sausage, kale and two fried eggs

Lunch: I had planned a salad, which is what you see listed on Weekly Menu 1, but in fact, the leftover carnitas were calling to me too strongly! I took some of my histamine supplement as a preemptive measure, and then enjoyed: leftover carnitas from last night, leftover coleslaw and leftover plantain chips. The carnitas and slaw were great leftover, but the plantains were not great cold. I’ve eaten them leftover before, but I heated them up. Thankfully, I didn’t have any histamine symptoms after my lunch today, so yay!

Dinner: Cobb salad bowl: roasted chicken (leftovers from this Instant Pot chicken) or salmon, avocado, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, cucumber, mixed greens and ranch dressing (recipe found in my book).

Although this dinner was really more assembly than cooking, you can see me putting this dinner together in the video below. If you don’t have the book, you can get the ranch dressing recipe from the video.
