Today was great. I got lots of work done in the studio, sold some pots online and out of the showroom, had a good workout, made 3 decent meals and just feet better all around.
Nine more days! That seems like nothing.
For
Breakfast I made skillet baked eggs. First I cooked some sausage in the frying pan and removed it to a paper towel to drain. I then sautéed 1/2 an onion, some red bell pepper, and a couple cloves of garlic. Once the onion and pepper had softened I added about 6 cups of spinach and kale and let that cook down. I then added the sausage back into the pan and stirred it all up. I made 4 wells in the spinach, added a bit of ghee and cracked in the eggs. Then popped the whole pan in a 400 deg oven till the eggs set. (About 10-12 min)
That was super good and filling and I may make it again tomorrow!!
Lunch was leftovers of chicken, butternut squash, salad, and some of the cucumbers from Sunday. I finally feel like I am eating enough food. I need a big plate like this to get me through the afternoon.
Oh, and guacamole of course!
I had used up the last of the ghee from Trader Joe's at breakfast. I had bought some organic butter at the grocery on Monday so I was all set to make the ghee following
this method I found online. It was totally easy and mostly hands off.
This first pic shows the butter just after it came out of the oven. I skimmed off the solids and had this:
I then strained that through a cheesecloth (in my case an old tee shirt) and got the following:
Easy peazy.
For
Dinner I needed to make up for the lame-o, plain fish that I cooked last night so I made
Wild Salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce, roasted asparagus, and roasted butternut squash.
That was flipping delicious!! We usually have teriyaki glazed salmon but this was a really nice change and I'll be making this again next week for sure.
I got several boards of pots made in the studio today. I'll probably do a separate post on what's happening in there tomorrow.
Okay, that's it for now. Here's to another day of the Whole 30 marked off the calendar. Cheers.
