Day: um? half way there?

Day… im not even sure anymore.

I am sure that I know exactly what I’m eating on day 22 though!! A YaYa Chicken salad from Great Harvest and a slice of King Cake. Overly excited about it! Then after that I’m pretty sure I’ll go back to paleo. Not the full on sugar cleanse because I really really miss fruit. And bacon wrapped dates. They are the best!

So the past few days have been “ice days” for us down south. Yesterday afternoon we finally had a break in the clouds and it was a beautiful (yet cold) sunny day. So I went to the store and picked up some sashimi grade tuna. I’ve been craving it! I cut it into rectangular thick slices, and rolled in in a mixture of salt, cracked black pepper, and sesame seeds. Then I seared each side for about 20-30 seconds in a hot pan with some coconut oil. Served the tuna with a few slices of avocado and wasabi mixed with “soy sauce” (liquid aminos). According to #21DSD, you are supposed to use coconut aminos instead, but I couldn’t find them and I reallllyyyy wanted soy sauce, so I decided that even though liquid aminos still contains some soy, it would be better than soy sauce. No idea if that is an accurate assumption or not but oh well. Already did it.

 

During the snow day, I also finally got around to making the “cheese spread”. Made from almonds soaked in water over night. Yeah. Not as good as the picture made it look. In fact. I ate none of it. Just tasted like almond butter with olive oil and salt in it. Gross. No thank you!

 

Speaking of almond butter, I'm almost out of the good stuff from Trader Joe’s. Not too happy about that, so I went to Fresh Market to find more. Way over priced and all contained sugar. So I got a few different brands in the individual serving packets. Just tried this one, it was good. Very creamy, in fact, almost runny. But no chunks of shells in it like some other brands have. It does contain Cane Sugar but it only had 3g of sugar for the whole packet so I felt safe.
