Woke up in Kentland, Indiana to a banana and a tiny cup of coffee (I travel with honey now). That's all I could rustle up, and we had some sights to see.
After a morning in Illinois we headed back north. We stopped to eat lunch at an Applebee's around 2:30.
I was ready for some protein (and some FLAVOR) so I ordered a 7 oz steak with broccoli/carrot/squash medley and a baked potato with sour cream and butter (not margarine, I asked). I was so happy to have something that was not served over iceberg lettuce! The sour cream and butter were hopefully not too laced with additives- I choose to believe it was pure butter and simple sour cream, and therefor all natural. There was salt added to the dish, for sure. But all-in-all a simple, whole meal.
Wow, was I full.
But after a weekend of bananas and salads I was ready for more. I got home and gobbled up a slice of Stone House organic honey wheat bread and natural cheese (the big guy went shopping!) with a glass of milk and some grapes. I am low on supplies, but I think I will also whip up a 1/2 batch of no-bakes tonight too, my first sweet treat in days.
So, it's been a week. I'm not ready to give in by a long shot- but after a weekend of just getting by I'm ready to seek out some simple but satisfying whole recipes for this week. Again, nothing to wild- I'm not into it. I think I'll make a stew and slow cook a turkey breast and find another cookie recipe or two. I'd love to try some whole food/all natural rice crispy treats.
You know what? Time to make those no-bakes.
