Food Detox: Day Eighteen and Nineteen, 2 more days to go!

The Kentucky Derby themed school auction, Run for the Roses, last night was big fun, as promised!  Joe and I had a great time and I managed to stay on track with my eating plan.  I took the night off from updating the blog so I'm posting for day 18 and 19 of the action plan.



Here's what I had on Saturday:
Breakfast - Banana oat pancakes served with orange slices and honey
This recipe is from week 2 so I brought it back for this week.  Thank you to Joe for making them for me.
Lunch - Chopped salad with oil and vinegar at Subway
I was a little worried about going to lunch there with George after we visited a friend in the hospital.  I didn't think they would have anything I could eat but the chopped salads are new.  I loaded it up with veggies and it tasted great.  I had salt and pepper added to it too.
Dinner - At home:  Blueberry-mint smoothie and cherry date oat bar; At the auction:  Salad and green beans with almonds and red peppers.  I missed out on the fried green tomato appetizer, fried chicken (a favorite of mine), cheesy potatoes and pecan pie for dessert.  Total health food, I know, but it looked darn good.  Thankfully the green beans were really good, I ate a big plate of them.  They were serving bourbon slushes and mint juleps.  I had my water flavored with mint for the evening and was the designated driver for the night.    

Here's what I had today:
Breakfast - Banana oat pancakes with orange slices and honey 
Lunch - Cherry date oat bar and a cup of ginger tea with honey
Dinner - Stuffed butternut squash and pears with honey and toasted hazelnuts for dessert 
The recipe actually calls for acorn squash but Whole Foods was out of them the day I was there.  It took longer to roast the butternut squash, otherwise it worked out well.  I liked the toasted hazelnuts as a topping.  

Two more days to go!
