Breakfast: oatmeal with jam and almond hazelnut meal leftover from making the nut milk (dried for a few hours in a warm oven). Apple, peanut butter.
Snack: Almonds.
Lunch: Leftover squash soup. Skittles.
Dinner: Rice cakes, peanut butter, carrots, jelly beans. That sounds a lot more abstemious than it is. I had a lot of jelly beans.

Day 5
Taking my coffee black was seriously harshing my mellow but all the almond milk in the store had salt in it so I tried this recipe from Oh She Glows for almond hazelnut milk. I don't have a nut milk bag so I used cheesecloth and a fine strainer. I also didn't have dates or a vanilla bean and was not up for braving the supermarket in the snow so I used about a teaspoon each of cinnamon sugar and vanilla sugar. Maybe it's because I'm not used to the strong taste of nut milk or maybe I should have followed the recipe more closely; either way I don't think I've nailed it. But it's better than black coffee so I'll probably try it again.
Breakfast: Oatmeal, jam, coffee with hazelnut almond milk, apple, peanut butter.
Lunch: Leftover stuffed eggplant. Skittles.
Snack: Almonds.
Dinner: Leftover stuffed eggplant. Marshmallows.

Day 4
Breakfast: Oatmeal, jam, apple, peanut butter.
Snack: Black tea, raw almonds, unsalted rice cake.
Lunch: Green curry made by husband from the Pok Pok cookbook with peppers, string beans, Thai eggplant, and chicken minus fish sauce. Brown jasmine rice.
Dinner: Stuffed eggplant from Martha Stewart Living. Nixed currants, used pork instead of lamb. This dish has been a favorite since the glorious day the issue showed up in the mail and the fact that I can still eat it was a much needed morale boost.
Dessert: Toasted marshmallows.
Snack: Black tea, raw almonds, unsalted rice cake.

Day 3
Breakfast: Oatmeal, lingonberry jam, apple.
Snack: Unsalted almonds. Black coffee.
Lunch: Leftover squash soup, Skittles.
Dinner: Roasted beets, Barilla Gluten Free rotini, olive oil, kosher salt, pepper.
Dessert: Take a wild guess.
A more carb-heavy day than I'd like. I'm hoping a snow day will give me a chance to make some more balanced dishes.

Day 2
Breakfast: Oatmeal, lingonberry jam, apple, peanut butter. Smoothie made of banana, frozen berries, greens.
Lunch: Celery. Unsalted peanut butter and banana on unsalted rice cake.
Snack: Skittles.
Dinner: We had people over for a Thai dinner made by husband:
-Chicken laap from the Pok Pok cookbook. He made mine separately from everyone else's but I'm not sure what he had to leave out (probably fish and/or soy sauce).
-Faux green papaya salad using green apple instead of green papaya (for convenience, not dietary reasons; an improvisation honed by mother-in-law in North Dakota where the nearest Asian grocery store was a ten hour drive away. It's delicious!) minus fish sauce and shrimp for me, I think he just upped the salt.
-Sticky rice.
-Thomas Keller roast chicken stuffed with garlic and lemon grass.
-Haagen Dazs peach and mango sorbets.
Lunch: Celery. Unsalted peanut butter and banana on unsalted rice cake.

Day 1
Breakfast: Bob's Red Mill Scottish Oatmeal, lingonberry jam from Ikea, apple.
Lunch: Apple, peanut butter. I can see myself leaning on this combo hard over the next month. Haagen Dazs Raspberry sorbet.
Snack: Salt free peanut butter and Marshmallow fluff on unsalted rice cake.
Dinner: Squash and lentil soup. No recipe really, just sauteed some leeks, threw in chopped butternut squash, red lentils, kosher salt, pepper, and homemade chicken stock, simmered until soft, and zapped it with my trusty stick blender. Not sure about dessert, probably Skittles.
