Whole-Foods Challenege...Day Two

Tuesday was day two.

In some ways it was easier.

But...had a total FAIL moment.

While Makenzie was at art, the 3 littlest kids and I ran over to Harris Teeter to do grocery shopping.  Spencer suggested I try Harris Teeter, thinking they may have more foods in-line with the diet.

I know remember why I NEVER go to Harris Teeter.  It took forever to find what I was looking for.  Checking out took forever...she scanned everything, THEN bagged everything (so essentially I had to wait twice), and I had to bag stuff at the car that she didn't bother to load into bags.  Arggg. 

NEVER GOING BACK!!!!

After art, I went to Publix.  And yes...shopping there really was a pleasure!!!

Anyway, while I was trying to find something at Harris Teeter, Hailey asked for a cookie.  I was totally destracted, trying to find something, watching the clock, and said "Yes...get one for Isaiah".

And then as I'm walking to the check-out line (like 10 minutes later), it finally dawned on me that the cookie was totally off-diet.  Like I said...total fail. 

Oh well.

Here was our menu today...

Breakfast:

Whole-Wheat Banana Pancakes (YUM!!!!)

(http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2010/04/21/recipe-whole-wheat-banana-pancakes-freeze-the-leftovers/)

I had mine plain, Spencer used honey, and the girls used cane syrup.

Cane syrup is not on the "list"...but the girls helped to make this and it's probably better than the maple syprup I bought today.  So we're adding it to our approved list!

Lunch:

PB&J

A friend joined us for lunch and liked it.  Score!

Dinner:

Mini-Pizza's  (Yum...but not quite perfect).

I made the whole-wheat dough recipe on the 100-Day website and devided it into two doughs.

(http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2010/04/01/recipe_homemade_whole_wheat_pizza/)

One dough I drizzled some olive oil, added fresh tomatoes, and then "good" mozzarella cheese.  The girls loved this one...but it needed something more...probably fresh basil and a drizzle of basalmic vinegar to turn it into a Caprese pizza.

The other dough got a layer of pesto followed by goat cheese.  This one was a little too strong for the girls.  Next time, I need to use more pesto.  The goat cheese was okay, but not worth the price.  We'll try another cheese.  It also needed something more...maybe articoke hearts and maybe olives.

Yummy!
