Day 14 of cutting out dairy…and I still haven’t noticed a
difference. I am actually not starting
to mind the almond milk, it’s pretty neutral tasting. It does offer more calcium than cow’s milk;
however, it has a long list of ingredients.
Coconut milk is the same way. I thought for a brief moment of continuing
with the Almond milk even if I continue to not notice a difference, but I think
that cow’s milk offers less ‘processed’ ingredients so I will probably switch
back in a few weeks if I don’t think its helping to ease my stuffiness and
drainage.
I’ve found a really good clean eating cookie recipe
here: http://www.runningtothekitchen.com/2012/10/chocolate-chunk-paleo-cookies/. I was very skeptical but you really don’t
feel like you are missing out on anything when eating these cookies. If you total up the calories, they are still ‘high’,
meaning just because they are fairly good for you doesn’t mean you can eat 10
of them in one sitting. The almond meal,
which is the main ingredient, is somewhat high in calories, but overall healthy
calories.
Ryan has been coming up with some really good healthy
recipes lately. Getting the kids to eat
them is another thing…although he did make some green curry last week and it
was way too spicy for the kids so we just cooked their chicken separately. We do try to get them to try everything we
cook though, green curry being the (spicy) exception. It goes on their plate whether they like it
or not. I figure if things just keep
showing up on their plate they will eat them eventually right? Ha ha…
