I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours

Fine!

Twist my arm.

I'll show you what I ate yesterday!

Good thing you asked because I had already

been ordered promised

a new bloggie friend of mine,

Jen from Peas & Crayons

that I would be crazy fun and join in on this gem of a link party!



If you recall...my post yesterday highlighted how I plan to eat intuitively for February.

My goal after eating raw for 30 days is to eat what I crave and what I feel like eating.

Obviously, there are some exceptions to this intuitiveness.

For starters...I live in Iowa.

We're having blizzard-like conditions right now so even if my intuition asked for

a Dairy Queen blizzard something I don't have at home

...it's not happening. 

I'm NOT the person you want on the road during winter weather conditions. 

Remember this post? 

I did my grocery shopping on Sunday...
so it's up to me to eat intutively from what I've selected and what's available to me.

I spent more than normal on groceries during January's Raw Challenge.

So February also finds me on a slightly tighter budget.

Which means I had to say *no* to the salmon that I really wanted.
 ***

I still have a bunch of fresh fruit left.

I hate wasting produce.

 Freshly juiced juice in the mornings sounds great
...but takes forever.

I love mornings.
 But there is some stress in getting everyone out the door.

Keep in mind....THREE kids.

Get up!   x3

Get dressed!   x3

Eat your breakfast!   x3

Quit poking your sister!   x3

Where are your shoes?   x3

Where's your backpack?   x2

Where's the homework you did last night?   x2
Library books?   x2

Field trip signatures?   x2

Fundraisers?   x2

Show & Tell?   x1

Extra green grapes and a larabar for second and third breakfasts

because you eat so dang much

and secretly I'm worried

that you'll starve

if I'm not there.   x1

Boots?   x3

Coats?   x3

Hats?   x3

Mittens?   x3

Scarves? (crickets...what? nobody wants to wear their scarf?)

Dagnabbit!

I forgot!

Brush your teeth!   x3

Let me fix that crazy hair!   x2

Ok...back into the winter gear!x3

Are we ready to go yet?

Then it dawns on me that I still need to eat.

Enter the fruit and Larabar.

 

This portable breakfast is perfect for me.

I don't usually like to eat a whole lot in the mornings.

This combination keeps me full all morning until I get to lunch.
I also drink a cup of herbal tea and about 32 oz. of water in the mornings.

Remember that egg sandwhich I've talked about here?

I couldn't help myself.

Mainly because I just wanted to use my new mini-pan I think.

As I was reading blogs yesterday, I came across this recipe from Jenna @ Eat, Live, Run.

I just so happened to have all the ingredients.

If you're looking for a delicious soup...this is the way to go.

And yes...that's REAL butter on that bread.

And we made a PBB&J smoothie too.

(peanut butter, banana, strawberries & blueberries)

The best part of dinner was cooking with Isabel.

She was MORE than ready to get back in the kitchen.

My intuition also called for this last night.



Don't worry...I sipped a little and then Ryan finished my glass. 
I'm so lame.


 What do you think of my intuition?

Now I showed you mine!

Show me yours!

Or tell me about it at least!

What was the best thing YOU ate yesterday?

***OH...and so many of you asked some really great questions yesterday.***

My next post will feature my answers to those questions!!!
