Day Nine

I started the day with a brisk 5km walk with my mum. We didn't get rained on today!

Breakfast: Hubby offerred to make pancakes, and make pancakes I could eat - so how could I refuse!? We found a basic pancake (crepe) recipe, and swapped the plain flour for spelt flour and the milk for almond milk, and then fried them using ghee instead of butter. They turned out really well - the only problem was there wasn't enough of them! I managed to get three, but poor hubby only got two. The kids ate the rest. To go on the pancakes I made up a blueberry maple syrup - literally just blueberries and 100% pure organic maple syrup. So yummy. I suspected three crepes wouldn't tide me over for long though, so I also had a small apple.

Morning tea: We were going ten pin bowling with my family, so I thought I better pack something to eat while we were out. I took a cherry and goji berry life bar.

Lunch: A slice of cold silverside, steamed carrots and beans, a slice of my spelt bread and some reheated white parsley sauce. All so yummy again, and very filling.

Afternoon tea: A couple of bars of casheroo mixture (I licked it off the spoon when I was making it haha and then kept picking). I also had a couple of grapes, and some medjool dates. I've never tried medjoo dates - omg they're good! It was like eating caramel.

Tea: I tried a new recipe - yet another from Quirky Cooking. This time, a dairy-free carbonara over spelt spaghetti. It was so yummy!!! Hubby loved it too. Definitely one I'll be making again. Plenty of leftovers too.

Dessert/Late night snack: A piece of banana cream pie (slowly making my way through it), and then some oven-baked bacon that hubby cooked up. Bit naughty!
