Lemon Thyme Chicken Drumsticks w/veggies

I had a bunch of drumsticks in the freezer so I decided to marinate them overnight with lemon juice, dried and fresh thyme, garlic, olive oil, oregano, italian seasoning and s&p. I baked them in the oven at 375 for 45 minutes. 

For the side dish, I sautéed some veggies I bought from Costco (broccolettes, haricots vert and the kale mix). 

I also made the sweet potato flatbread from the 21DSD cookbook to have with the chicken. 

Dinner was delicious!

Day 21!!!

I can't believe I stuck it out to day 21 even though I had some failed days. Today we went our for breakfast and I ordered a pesto scramble with artichoke, tomato, and bacon. I realized after I ate it that the pesto sauce probably was made the traditional way with Parmesan :/ 

For lunch, I wasn't really that hungry do I made a pumpkin, hemp protein shake. 

For dinner, I cooked up some chicken thighs with homemade pesto and a variet of veggies (butternut squash, brussel sprouts, haricot verts and broccoli)

Day 20- One more day!

I can't believe I have one more day to go! For breakfast I made pancetta, eggs and spinach. I finally got to go back to Pilates after delivering and it felt good. 

After my workout I had a hemp protein shake. 

I went over to my cousin's house so the kids could hang out and she bbq'd some chicken and even made special ones for me because she knew I wasn't eating sugar. So I had some curry drumsticks. 

I wasn't sure how long I was gonna hang out but luckily I brought dinner with me. I had the bison stroganoff with squash noodles. 

When I got home I had some sweet potatoes and that was it for today. Nothing exciting...

Day 19- Almost there!

I wanted to have some pancakes when I woke up so I decided to whip up some pumpkin pancakes from the 21DSD book. I topped the pancakes with some coconut butter. I had it with some red pepper and spinach sausage

For lunch I had some plantain chips and salami. I also made a green drink that consisted of: coconut water, spinach, kale, green apple, lemon, ginger, celery, beet and bell pepper

For dinner, I made some squash noodles to eat with my bison stroganoff. 

Day 18- The simple things

Breakfast was eggs, bacon and guacamole

Lunch was Apple gate hotdogs w/sauerkraut and tomatoes and basil

I finally got around to buying pumpkin and made my first pumpkin pie protein shake. I used the recipe from the 21DSD cookbook and I used hemp protein powder and also added spinach. 

I bought a whole package of basil so I decided to make some pesto which led me to the pesto stuffed chicken wrapped with prosciutto from "Meals Made Simple". I thought I thawed out chicken breasts but turns out they were thighs. Still came out delicious. I baked the chicken w/butternut squash on the bottom and served it with some Brussels sprouts cooked with pancetta. My husband said everything was good. 

Day 17- Leftovers go a long way...

Breakfast was bacon, eggs, guacamole and an "English muffin" w/coconut butter

Snack: hemp protein shake, plantain chips

Lunch was a salad with tomatoes, bell peppers, olives, chicken, pumpkin and sunflower seeds

I also snacked on herb cheese and crackers. 

For dinner, I had the leftover bison stroganoff but I ran out of squash noodles so I mixed the meat w/sweet potato. 

Day 16- Thunderstorms

Today was a weird day. It was over 100 degrees outside and then pouring rain with thunder. Makes you just want to curl up in bed and take a nap. Well that didn't happen. My little girl likes to take power naps so I have to do what I can in 30 minutes or else I'm not getting anything done. 

For breakfast, I had eggs with pancetta, smoked salmon and tomatoes. 

Snack: hemp protein shake

Lunch: Roasted red pepper sausage with cucumbers

For dinner, I wanted to make a recipe from Danille Walker's "Meals Made Simple". I choose to do the beef stroganoff but I had to make lots of substitutions since I was missing a bunch of ingredients. Instead of beef chuck I had to use bison. I didn't have any sherry so I used apple cider vinegar. I didn't have any mushrooms or parsley. Despite all that it was still a delicious meal.
