day 1 done!

I just finished my "chicken picatta" that my 8-yr old son helped me to prepare. We also had a garden salad w/ home made vinaigrette and fresh from the oven home made focaccia bread. My kids ate ALL of it surprisingly. I loved the bread and salad, but having Seitan by itself may take some getting used to. Would be great on a sandwich though.
Lunch too, was a success. Quinoa sushi rolls and my kids thought the tofu was cream cheese and they added their own veggies. LOVED it! For me the portabello mushroom was amazing by itself. The roll was awesome.
We snacked on some fresh strawberries and they could use some sweetener so, I poured a little vanilla almond milk on them and they disappeared super fast!!
Breakfast was oatmeal, which all my kids like anyways, with vanilla almond milk and agave nectar.
K- today.....NO sugar, NO dairy, NO meat and NO soda! I am satisfied and full. However the caffeine headache just kicked in! yikes!
I will have to say though, I spent a lot more time in my kitchen and I need to do laundry!!! Change isn't easy! Hopefully I can stick with it.
I am still tired and sluggish. I am having a hard time sleeping. We shall see how I feel in a week or so..
