Day 3-9

Mom has been a trooper.

Day 3 wasn't the most Paleo meal but it was full of veggies and proteins. I made my curry which I have been perfecting over the years. I may post a recipe of it soon as I keep working on it. I know there are Paleo curries out there but the last time I used curry powder, something went wrong and I got sick and had to throw it all out. So I played it safe with a paste block I buy but it had wheat flour listed in the ingredients. Oh well.

The rest of the weekend went spectacular for Paleo eaters in the house. I made several meals I found recipes for online that dealt with a fruit based topping for a meat base. Mmmmm.

Saturday, Day 5, I tried making Paleo brownies but it was a disaster. I think I put too many bananas and it just did not bake well. Mom didn't care, they still had chocolate in them.

By Day 6, the fridge was overloaded with leftovers, so I left Day 7 and 8 as leftovers night. Worse, I got sick with some cold that has been going around. My husband, Christopher, had it over the weekend and probably passed it on to me when I forgot he was sick and drank out of his water bottle. Ooops.

It sucks being sick because then you just want comfort food. Whenever Mom isn't home, I have been eating candy or fried chicken, or anything else I can find to eat. I try not to tempt her because she keeps telling us how badly she wants ice cream.

That's why I've been saying Mom has been a trooper. Despite what we are all eating, she is still keeping with the Paleo diet (or at least low-carb)

Yesterday, Day 9, both of the kids stayed home from school because they were sick. The 15 year old has what I have. The 7 year old has some other beast that has been going around school. With everyone sick, Christopher made his homemade chicken noodle soup. Even the noodles are homemade. His mother is willing to take any amount of insulin for those noodles. So, kinda Paleo.
