Two for one!

DAY FIVE AND SIX!

 SWEET POTATO

ZUCCHINI BAKE

I made the two dishes presented as a side in the Fixate book right from the recipe.  I made the two dishes within a half hour and they are DELISH!

First the sweet potato, it was very easy, cut sweet potato, cut onion, salt, pepper and in the oven it goes.  I would prefer a softer potato but it was very tasty. 

1 yellow is a serving

Second the Zucchini Bake was also very easy to make!! Four zucchini that I cut lengthwise.  Then it was Parmesan cheese, 2 TBSP of grated lemon peel, parsley, oregano, and into the oven.

1 green 

I must say that both these have been on my list of things to make since I got the book and procrastination I never made them.  Well these were so easy and I have gotten many sides out of them! I stay relatively full for HOURS.  Also my tummy is happy because they are both Gluten Free!

Where did I go wrong? Am I cliche?

DAY FOUR: CUCUMBER WITH HUMMUS

So I TRIED BLOG WORLD! I tried! Where Did I go wrong? HOW did they cut their cucumbers so beautifully? Blog world please enlighten me.  I got my veggie slicer and I tried to make the thin long slices. Maybe I need a longer slicer? But I could not get my cucumber slices long enough OR thick enough.

So I gave up after a couple of attempts and just cut my cucumber and got some hummus.

Will I make it again? I want to try this looks like a good idea but I need different technique or different equipment and any input would be beneficial! The meal is gluten free, vegan friendly, and dairy free.  I found it filling.  I would definitely add the red peppers next time!

In other news my dinner today was made by a friend and full of deliciousness:

<3 What would you lie to see attempted from the fixate book tomorrow? Day 4/101

You say Tomato I say Tomahto

DAY THREE: TUNA SALAD

Confession time: I would normally never use something as a vessel to eat out of but I stayed true to the picture in the Fixate book.

For dinner tonight I had Tuna, Red peppers, a tsp of mustard and a tsp of olive oil. I used a Tomato to put in the mixture.  One of the things I would change was the size of the tomato I got a smallish tomato, but I would get a medium to large tomato so all my mixture could fit inside.

I really liked this! I did not make it with tarragon, as that does not always make my tummy happy, but this is gluten free and Paleo-friendly! I am still feeling full from the meal almost three hours after consuming!

21 day fix container equivalent is 1 green, 1 red and 1/2 teaspoon.

What would you like to see tomorrow?
