Today was the day of my daughters 3rd birthday party. I was fairly busy throughout most of the day trying to get the house and food ready for the afternoon party and my eating was pretty minimal because I just didn't have time to stop and make something to eat. I did keep to my word and I didn't have a single piece of her adorable birthday cake. I was however, even more pleased with myself because I kept the menu pretty paleo (with the exception of a couple of things) aside from the food that guests brought. The best part is the "anti paleo" folks gobbled up the paleo food without even realizing what they were doing. If people only took down the wall and realized that this is just another way of eating a healthy way of eating and it isn't so bad.
Breakfast:
Left over sausage from previous nights "pizza"
1 scrambled egg
Lunch:
Didn't eat but snacked on the veggies while I was prepping them
Dinner:
Lettuce wrapped hamburger
No side
Dessert:
As I mentioned above I did not eat cake. When I began to feel this overwhelming urge to eat a piece I grabbed my blender a can of coconut milk and the strawberries and bananas that had cut and frozen for an occasion like this and make a coconut milk shake. Delicious and it curbed that sweet craving that I was having.
Party Menu:
Costco hotdogs which are surprisingly gluten free, preservative free, and no high fructose corn syrup added
Spice rubbed hamburgers with lettuce tomato and onions
Veggie platter w/carrots, sliced cucumbers, sliced red and yellow bell peppers
Roasted red pepper and cilantro dip
Salsa from the Everyday Paleo book
Gluten free tortilla chips (I ate none of these)
I did provide buns for the hotdogs and hamburgers
Birthday cake
