So the rest of the day went really smoothly! Livy was still picky but she is going to give in more and more. I am realizing I truelly just have to stay away for most parties and stuff.
I was so nervous about money with this diet. I planed 3 days of meals on Sunday, and monday went shopping and spent 160 bucks! And I ONLY bought the ingredients I needed. I was really disheartened but here is what I realized. We are simply not going to eat these perfectly planned out meals 3 times a day. I look at my menu board and sometimes I pick one of those things to make and sometimes we go more simple ....a cashew butter date jelly sandwich for lunch...oatmeal instead of walnut apple sunrise for breakfast. I still have SO many ingredients and its Wednesday night. I will easily make it through the entire week with that shopping and plus I bought things like flavored vinegars that you only need to buy a couple times a .year ...
AlSO ....raw cashew butter is something dr. Furhmans recipes use a ton. It is 18.99 for a tiny little jar anywhere you can find it even online....totally not in my budget or any near future budget! Well im buying alot of cashews anyway for snacking and cream sauces he calls for so I found online how to make it myself! So so easy...just requires some patience with the food processor and voila! I made a pound of cashew butter and a pound of almond. Cashews I found were like 7.99 /lb at smiths.....so Yayyyy cheaper alternative! Woohoo go team snell!
