Wendy's Day 5 & 6: Awesome New Recipes

So, I wish I had taken some pictures of the new recipes I tried this weekend, but my descriptions will have to suffice.  I tried a few new things including: Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes, Homemade Mayo, Avocado Lime Dressing and Pot Roast Soup.  I also successfully ate out without ruining my Whole30 (Thanks Chipotle).  I am still feeling more tired than usual, but I think it is slowly getting better.  So here's the meal wrap-up...

DAY 5

Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs with hot sauce,  leftover sweet potato fries, and 1/2 of an apple.  Helpful Hint: this is not a good combination to eat right before running....terrible sideaches.  But the good news is that I am done with that frittata!

Lunch:  Salad with greens, mushrooms, grapes, shredded carrots and chicken.  Topped with this avocado-cilantro salad dressing that I found online: http://masteringtheartofpaleocooking.com/2012/03/11/avocado-cilantro-salad-dressing/.  I HATE HATE HATE cilantro so I left it out, but it was still delicious.  This was a big hit with my husband and me.  I think I will be eating way more salads now that I have found this lovely gem.  It was very quick, easy, and delicious.

Dinner: I did not feel like cooking so I perused the internet and found that you can get the salad at Chipotle with just carnitas, pico de gallo, and guacamole.  Pretty good. 

DAY 6

Breakfast:  Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes.  I found this recipe in the Practical Paleo book that I purchased.  These were also a big hit.  I added a smashed banana into the batter to give it some sweetness because I can't eat maple syrup. 

Lunch:  Chicken Salad with homemade mayo.  I make this chicken salad all the time, but this time I got to experiment with making my own mayo to go with it.  I found the recipe in the back of the It Starts With Food book.  5 ingredients (olive oil, lemon juice, egg, salt, and dry mustard) and I was amazed that I could whip up my own mayo in the blender.

Dinner:  Pot Roast Soup http://paleoonabudget.com/2012/10/16/pot-roast-soup/.  I haven't tried it yet, but it smells delicious.
