It's not that I'm not eating enough food ...or so I think. I eat avocado at breakfast with eggs and always on any salad. I eat bacon in the mornings. I eat more beef than on a typical Paleo diet. I eat more nuts than is recommended. I eat more protein than normal. I eat more snacks throughout the day than recommended. And STILL my body apparently needed more. I freaked and bought some Nutella to eat. Not because I craved the sugar. I actually am doing MUCH better this go around than before when the sugar cravings were killing me! I got that because it was full of fat and at least I'd get a tiny bit of protein (yes, I realize it is made with lots o' sugar and milk) BUT let me tell you that the next two nights I slept so much better because my baby decided that my milk now was sufficient.
I do not want to eat that much sugar. So I found several other high calorie/fat snacks to add in. I feel as though my meals are sufficient since I'm eating more than average with the proteins and fats, so I feel making my in between small meals as fatty and high calorie as possible may help. Who knows. It's just not something I'm willing to play around with. I am eating very healthy...well, much healthier than I was, so at least my milk is better for my baby. I'm hoping the new way to get fat/calories will work. If not, I will absolutely eat some more Nutella. I need sleep and my baby does too. And if Nutella is a way to do it, then fine. It's MUCH less sugar/dairy than I ever have consumed in my life, so I'm okay with it for now. After she weans, I'll definitely go back at it super strict.
It's the first time I've ever cooked beets and the first time I've ever tasted them. I wasn't very impressed. Well...I wasn't impressed with the taste. I was very impressed with the incredible color that came out of them. I can see why people use beets as a source to color other things.
I roasted them and then made a balsamic glaze to pour over. They smelled very 'earthy' as they were cooking. When I put them on a plate to try, I admit I was not excited about putting them in my mouth. I made my husband taste them first! :) He didn't think they were bad. In fact, he ate them again the next day. Maybe he was just trying not to waste food! I tasted one and although it was awful, it's just not something I thought was great. I'll continue to try them. But until someone else makes them, I may just hold off for now.
I tried...but I could not make them look appealing at all.
