Today was another great day!  I made a great dinner that Shaun really liked too (he gave it a 4 out of 5 stars which is high praise from Mr. Titus).  Here’s what today looked like:

B: Oatmeal with banana, barney butter, bee pollen (interesting), and wheat germ

S1: One of those “cookies” from last night (oats, dates, currants, honey, cocao nibs)

L: Chicken “Pot Pie” leftovers.  Lu had some too and LOVED it!

That’s a whole wheat biscuit in her mouth (she LOVES whole wheat which makes her Mommy happy):

S2: String Cheese and freeze dried pears

D: Adobo Rubbed Pork with black bean salsa over Arugula-YOM

Dessert: A Green Smoothie:

In that I put:

-1 cup Milk
-1 cup Ice
-1/2 cup Raspberries
-1 Banana
-1 packet of Protein Powder
-2 handfuls of Spinach

I have enough for my pre-workout snack tomorrow. I can’t taste the spinach at all. It’s actually really good and much better than the kale smoothie I had in Hawaii.

All my food is packed for tomorrow.

From left to right: Chicken and White Bean Soup, Ezekiel Bread with Avocado to smush on top to go with the soup, banana, pear, figs, apple, “cookies”, peppers, hummus, and bee pollen and wheat germ to go on my oatmeal that isn’t pictured.

I won’t eat all the fruit but I like to have options 🙂

Here’s the recipe for the Adobo Rubbed Pork:

-24 oz pork tenderloin cut into 8 pieces
-6 TBSP paprika
-2 TBSP fresh ground black pepper
-2 TBSP coarse salt
-1 TBSP chili powder
-1 TBSP cayenne pepper

Heat oven to 350*. Mix all the spices, thoroughly coat pork pieces. Heat an oven-safe skillet over med-high and pan-sear pork on both sides. Transfer to oven and cook until done (6-8 minuted for each inch of thickness)

Pico De Gallo to go with it:
-2 cups black beans
-4 medium tomatoes, diced
-1/2 cup red onion, diced
-1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
-1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
-2 TBSP fresh lemon juice
-1 TBSP chili powder
-1/2 tsp salt

Mix that all together. I ate mine over some arugula and I served Shaun’s with brown rice. The Nutritional Info (not including rice): 246 Calories, 26 g protein, 9 g fat, 17 g carbs.

Seriously yummy!
