As my 10-day fruit diet is coming to a close, I can honestly say that I'm really, really tired of eating fruit. This must be what it feels like to be on Survivor. It isn't that I've been hungry, or felt poorly at any point. It is just...fruit. Lots and lots of fruit.
The rest of the family is still eating a variety of foods, which will make this week's menu a lot more interesting than my upcoming two days of grapes. Grapes, grapes, grapes.
Monday night - Pizza bread with steamed broccoli and watermelon. The pizza bread is one large loaf of extra-sour sourdough bread, split down the middle and topped with homemade sauce. SInce my kids still aren't much into spicy, I sauteed one small onion with one chopped bell pepper, sprinkled in some Italian seasoning and mixed in one can of tomato paste, with one can of water. I spread this on the bread, and topped it with slices of mozzarella, and broiled.
Tuesday night - Baked sweet potatoes, apple sauce and brussel sprouts tossed with bacon and garlic.
Wednesday night - Burritos (rice, whole pinto beans, chopped bell peppers, corn, fire-roasted salsa. Served with shredded lettuce and guacamole.
Thursday night - Lemon glazed chicken breasts with parmesean-tossed green beans and steamed brown rice.
Friday night - spinach salad with warm bacon dressing, mandarin oranges and red onion with cup of soup.
Saturday night - crockpot veggie stew with sliced fruit. Assuming I'm willing to ingest fruit.
Sunday night- grilled fish with cole slaw and sweet potato fries.
Okay! That's the plan.
Are you sure there is no room at your table for one more? I am veggie and all your sides sound great. Hope the fruit diet gets you back to where you want to be.
