Paleo Challenge Day 6 {Leftovers and Cheat Meal}

August 2, 2013

We have leftovers coming out of our ears!  I don’t know what to do with all this food.  We’ve been having leftovers for the past two days.  Usually when this happens, it means that we’ve been eating out for lunches instead of packing them to eat at work.  But not this time.  I’ll end up freezing some of the meat and maybe making stew with the rest.  Hopefully someone comes along soon to help us eat all of this.

Bad new: tonight is our planned cheat meal (and DATE NIGHT!) and we’ve really been looking forward to it.  We can’t think of what to eat that we really miss.  It will probably have bread or pasta…maybe a small piece of chocolate cake?  Yes, definitely chocolate cake!  We’ll try to keep it light and not get sick, but with this being our first cheat meal for dinner, I have a feeling we’ll get a little out of control.  Wish us luck!

. . .

After a few minutes of going through our favorite foods, we finally decided on Mexican food.  I had a small cup of Sopa de Albondigas, a Mexican meatball soup, to start.  It was way too salty, but after trying other way too salty things, we figured that my taste buds have changed and I now have a low salt tolerance.  Jacob and I also split a plate of Enchiladas Suizas (chicken enchiladas with a green salsa) with black beans and rice.  We each had a couple spoonfuls of rice and beans and I ended up pulling my tortilla off my enchilada half-way through.  These were small portions, and since I didn’t eat all of my salty soup, I left a little hungry.  Maybe I will have that chocolate cake after all!
