OK all, so today is the big day. I’m excited. I started following 100 Days of Real Food blog a long time ago and have wanted to jump on it and do it forever. I’m not sure what stopped me. I think the thought of having to cook almost everything and sticking to something this serious scared me. But, when my cousin did it with THREE kids, a husband and her own business for ten days, I thought well I can do it (thanks for the inspiration Rach!).
So, when I mentioned it, my #fitfam member Crystal said she wanted in. Ben had no choice and the thought of Lillie’s school lunch makes me a little nervous… but it is all do-able.
So, yesterday Crystal and I hit Whole Foods and went to town. Yesterday was a big cooking day, I made Jambalaya, homemade granola, slow cook chicken and Crystal made our very favorite egg salad – recipe below (I still need to make the vege fajitas). Now, with the meal plans from 100 Days of Real Food, this should -with fun leftover recipes – last us more or less the whole week! There are a few meals we will need other things – like this morning I had yogurt with honey and my homemade granola. SOOO good!
Today is day one, I will keep you privy to how it’s going. I am just so excited to eat the way we should be eating, forget this processed garbage, there is no reason for it.
