October 7, 2010

I woke up tired again. I haven’t recovered all of my energy from being sick a few weeks ago. I’m also not sure how this transition to be closer to a paleo diet is going to affect me. Maybe I’ll be sluggish for the first few weeks, I’m not sure.

This morning I made a cooked low carb meal. I made some coconut flour pancakes courtesy of my friend Erin over at Pretty in Primal.

Breakfast:

2 eggs beaten

3 Tbsp. coconut flour

½ tsp. cinnamon

pinch of nutmeg

dollop of vanilla

pinch of salt

coconut milk, enough to thin it out.

Cooked in butter.

I made this wonderful sauce for the topping. It was fresh (you can certainly use frozen) and coconut milk. I blended that up and poured it over the pancakes. If you’d like a hot topping just cook the berries with some butter. It’s wonderful.

I snacked on a couple ounces of soaked, sprouted, dehydrated almonds for my midday snack.

For dinner I made a leek/celery soup and steak.

Leek/celery soup:

½ cup sauerkraut

1 cup herbal tea

½ green apple

1 lemon, peeled

2 cups mixed greens

1 avocado, peeled and seeded

1 leek chopped, white part only

6 stalks celery, chopped

1 cup parsley

2 green onions

1 cup coconut milk

I blended it all together and sprinkled the top with pumpkin seeds.

This recipe made about 6 cups. I had 3 cups prior to searing a very rare 6oz grass-fed buffalo tenderloin steak.
