Fish Sticks
Leftovers from the weekend for lunch today, so no picture. Here is supper!
We all love these fish sticks. I do not like to waste ingredients, so I really appreciate that the batter to fish ratio comes out about right every time I make these. I used hake fish tonight and added a bit of paprika and black pepper to the batter. Also on my plate is steamed broccoli and roasted sweet potatoes with Cajun seasoning. A friend of mine sent me this banana bread recipe. She said all of her children like it and 5 out of 6 of my family did. So, that's a recommendation from 2 families, make this bread next time you have ripe bananas!

Egg & Veggie Scramble
I put a wedge of onion, a wedge of orange pepper, a handful of spinach, 2 eggs, salt and pepper in the Vitamix. Set it to variable 4 for about 30 seconds to a minute. Cook in coconut oil. If you do not have a Vitamix, just chop veggies up and add to scrambled eggs.
Eating Out
Today was a good day. I got to go to church, took a nap, went for a jog with my daughter, went out with some special ladies for the evening, and I ate supper twice!
This is a 'Shroom burger in a lettuce wrap with sweet potato fries from Red Robin. This restaurant has gluten free sweet potato fries, yes! I have found many restaurants are willing to wrap a sandwich in lettuce and will give you alternative sides, just ask. This may not help with a severe allergies or intolerance, but this helps to make better choices and enjoy a meal out once in awhile. Jimmy John's does the unwich, Subway will put any meat on a salad, Arby's will put the roast beef in a container and give you a fork, and most sit down restaurants will sub out fries for fresh fruit or vegetable of the day. Many places now offer a gluten free pasta option or pizza crust. Local to me, Firehouse Pizza has the best GF crust. They also offer a vegan pizza that I plan to try next time I go.

Baked Mustard Lime Chicken
This baked mustard lime chicken was another great recipe from elana'spantry. It was a bit spicy for a couple of the kiddos, but the rest of us like it. Roasted baby carrots & green beans were our veggies.

Chocolate Chip Cherry Torte "Larabars"
We love Larabars at our house. The kids like to take them to school & I ate one for a light lunch today.
They are pricy & not sold anywhere close to us, so we often make our own. We wrap ours in parchment paper & I use 74% cacao chocolate chips to make them more paleo friendly. Here's a link to many different flavor combinations including the one pictured above: Larabars

Coconut Flour Waffles
This recipe was a new one for me. It was ok, but I think I would tweak it a bit if I made it again. They were lighter than the almond flour ones I usually make and my family all ate them, but we didn't prefer having whole raisins in our waffles. Also, my bananas turned to mush, so that was less than attractive.
