I got over my sugar cravings and breakfast probably helped. I had a wonderful smoothie with Dutchman milk, a raw local egg, local raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. This breakfast goes down easier than the oatmeal but keeps me full for a shorter time. I'm also used to putting bananas in my smoothies for sweetness which I miss.
For lunch I was at my parents' house and scrambled for something local. Nothing. Nothing in their house was local except a box of apples in the garage from my Grandma's tree in Summerland. So I recruited my sister and we did some peeling! I made a delicious apple sauce. I was hungry soon after. I think Meghan has the right idea, lots of small meals throughout the day. My suggestion if we'd been doing his for longer would be to at least carry a ziplock of nuts in my purse to help between meals. Dinner was leftovers once again as I raced off to work.
On Day 7 I awoke to make a tasty omelet with spinach and feta cheese. For lunch we were invited to Jake's parents' house and we had to eat what was made for us...homemade pizza which tasted amazing! This of course was not local but I couldn't ask my mother-in-law to specially make my meal especially since it was a spontaneous invite so I couldn't even bring my own ingredients. Spontaneity does not partner well with the 100 mile diet! For supper I steamed some broccoli, carrots, parsnips (which I have never tried before), and sauteed up some mushrooms and Chicken. This was accompanied by fresh sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. I definitely taste a huge difference in the flavour of some of the vegetables that are organic, local, such as the cucumbers. They were long, English cukes but had a tougher skin than usual and a far stronger aroma of fresh cucumber. They tasted more bold than the ones I typically buy from Superstore I was really surprised.
