Some of my readers have been wondering what else my children have been eating since we started the crazy diet. So, I thought I would share with you a bit of what they've been eating. However, I can't remember everything because Lily eats nonstop these days! I swear she must be growing.
Breakfast:
Oatmeal both days (Although, I've learned of some new breakfast ideas. Thanks Hilary!)
Snacks:
Rice cakes, Bing Cherries, Pumpkin Seeds, Soy Yogurt, Apple with peanut butter, Carrots, Apricots, Walnuts
Lunch:
Yesterday they had peanut butter on corn tortillas, rice crackers, frozen peas (my kids really like to eat their peas right out of the freezer), and oranges
Today they had leftovers from last night.
Dinner:
Yesterday they had Bean/Corn Casserole. Corn chips layered with refried beans, corn and soy cheese. They inhaled it!
Today we had roasted veggies. Asparagus, Carrots and Potatoes tossed with olive oil and Italian seasoning.
I really like experimenting with recipes. This is fun for me to try and come up with healthy ideas that my children will enjoy. Only once since we started this diet have they asked for anything sweet. Drew asked me for a cookie today. But, he was perfectly happy the the alternative that I offered him.
Let me stress that I think that this diet is working is ToTaLlY cRaZy!! I can't get over the changes that I've noticed in Lily. It has been easy to follow the diet at home; however, I'm concerned how it will be when Lily goes back to school and has snacktime. I assume that I will be able to plan something with her teacher. However, I KNOW that there are snacks that Lily will want to enjoy with her friends. So, maybe she'll be getting a smaller helping of those sweets in the future.
