4/23/2014

Breakfast
  • A banana
  • A few almonds
  • An avocado with black pepper
  • Sweet potato fries

I was obviously very hungry this morning.

Lunch
  • Dill salmon from paleomg
  • Zucchini sautéed with aji sauce
  • Roasted sweet potato
  • An orange

The salmon recipe was from paleomg, and it was really tasty. Don't make the same mistake as me of cooking the fish on broil, it will leave you with a really burnt top. Haha.

Dinner
  • Chicken curry salad with spinach, wrapped in a paleo wrap

Snack: smoothie- almond milk, banana, cinnamon, kale, and blueberries.

I made chicken curry salad for the first time last week using leftover roasted chicken breast, and I was in L.O.V.E. Everything about this salad is amazing, starting with the crunch from the celery and pecans, along with the burst of sweetness from the apples and raisins, down to the kick from the cayenne pepper. I recommend making the salad a day in advance, that way all the ingredients get a chance to mingle.

Chicken Curry Salad
Yields: 2 servings

  • 1 cooked chicken breast- diced
  • 1 1/2 stalks celery diced
  • 1/2 small apple diced
  • 1/4 cup pecans or slivered almonds
  • 2 tbsp. fresh minced cilantro
  • 1 green onion diced
  • 1 tbsp. raisins

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/2 tsp. curry powder
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  1. Toss all the salad ingredients in a medium bowl.
  2. Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and mix.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well. 
  4. Place the salad in the fridge and let it sit overnight and enjoy the following day. You can try it in a paleo wrap, a lettuce wrap or just by it is delicious too!

I found the paleo wraps at whole foods, and was really excited to try them. The coconut flavor from the wrap compliments the curry salad nicely. But you can easily enjoy eating the salad all by itself.

I have decided that at least once a month I will write a post called Daily Eats, sharing all the food I consume that day.

So lets begin!

Breakfast
  • Paleo overnight "oats"- diced banana and apples, chia seeds, almond milk, cinnamon, almond butter, shredded raw coconut, sliced almonds and raisons.

While eating paleo sometimes breakfast can get pretty boring. I don’t know about you, but I can’t handle eating eggs everyday for breakfast, and leftover dinner doesn’t always sound good at 7:30 in the morning. So sometimes I treat myself to paleo overnight "oats". There are of course no oats in it, but it’s the same concept as overnight oats, I just use apples in place of the oats.

Everyone at work already thinks I eat the most bizarre things. So seeing this jar on my desk this morning threw them for an even bigger loop.  I had people asking what in the world was I eating. But once I opened the jar and told them what was in it, some said, " that actually sounds pretty good, I would eat it".  Well for your information it IS good. 

Lunch
  • Baked chili lemon chicken
  • Roasted vegetables
  • Salad- cherry tomato’s, bell pepper, cucumber, purple onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.

The baked chili lemon chicken was a recipe I used out of my recipe binder and I was not a fan. I don’t think I be will be making it again.

Snacks

  • Apple sauce
  • Baby carrots, broccoli, cherry tomatoes

Dinner 
  • Baked chili lemon chicken
  • Curry meatballs
  • Sweet potato
  • Roasted vegetables
  • Arugula salad with lime juice and avocado

Dinner tonight was a smorgasbord of leftovers. The curry meatballs are recipe from my recipe binder and they are delicious! It was my second time making them.

Off to bed I go. Night night.
