From Catching up to Giving up Without Sugar

 In Lazy Girls Guide to Quitting Sugar

Week 7 – 2/11/2016 – 8/11/2016

After the lamb fiasco of a few weeks ago, I am still working on using up the leftover ingredients in my fridge that I ordered for that week’s meal plan. But also feeling like absolute crap due to horrible sleep, from the detox, I guess I can’t think of anything else, I have no energy or urge to cook.

But first there was one recipe I was dying to make that was set for that week, and also one of my favourites, Sarah’s KFC. This is an absolute delight to eat and so easy to make, I made it Saturday so had it Sunday and then Monday at work and Monday night. So much yumminess.

After I had finished this and in order to use up as much of the veggies as possible I decide that a recipe from week 1 might just be the trick it was a Tuscan Chicken Panzella. Basically, I didn’t look up the recipe but from memory, it was about putting a bunch of veggies in a pan with meat and baking it. So I went and grabbed a bunch of veggies out of my fridge, grabbed some yummy seafood I had stashed in my freezer and went about making this simple meal.

Chopped up all the veggies, defrosted the seafood, added some olive oil and herbs as well as a dash of coconut oil then put the seafood on with some more herbs and oil. Baked it all in the oven and ta-da an easy meal for the next few nights and also lunches for the next few days. It also solved the wastage problem as there were some veggies that if not used I would have been throwing out.

I had the added fun of continuing the exhausted feeling of last week this week and so this simple and easy to re-heat long lasting meal was perfect. This was until it ran out and I then had to think of something to eat first I had to deal with the need for lunch.

I did, however, discover I loved kombucha particularly Remedy Kombucha which is I Quit Sugar approved for its low to no sugar content. So that was a nice alternative to water or drinking vodka soda’s every night to satiate my craving for a bubbly drink.

As I was preparing to head overseas I chose not to do any of the cook ups or follow any of the 8 Week Programs recipes I just pulled some salmon I had in the freezer out made some sweet potato fries and rice. Another night I was out late another I had popcorn, then the night before I flew out to Cuba I had some fun. I had leftover sweet potato so decided to do salmon with herbs and an apple cider vinegar coating and have some carrot, onion, garlic and some of the sweet potato as a side. I tossed the veggies in a mix of Tamari, chillis, buttermilk, milk and red curry paste for something different. Baked them then put them in the frying pan for a bit, actually turned out well.

I also threw some cumin cinnamon and nutmeg on some cashews and macadamias then baked them in the oven (for a little too long) to take with me as snacks.

As I was holidaying and trying to relax in Cuba I didn’t push too hard on the whole no sugar at all thing as I don’t speak Spanish and wanted to enjoy my holiday.

    When you are on vacation it is very hard to follow any schedule. Happy to hear you did have some fun on your vacation.

      Hi Venalion,

      Yea,h I tried to keep some of my no sugar on my holiday but it wasn’t too successful I will be putting up the blogs from Cuba in the next day or so. I did stick to water rather than jumping back on the soft drink bandwagon which I was proud of.

      Thanks
      Jodie
