Happy day after Halloween! Look at all them ones in the date!

Today my eats were not well planned at all. If I didn’t have an emergency stash of Sophia’s Survival Food or Primal Pacs in my bag, I’d be one hangry mommy.

My chow started off promising – I made myself a French omelet that I devoured with some leftover roasted tomatoes and sauteed baby dino kale…

…before heading to the women’s class at CrossFit Palo Alto.

When I came home, I ate a nuked yam and a pack of spicy grass fed jerky chews. I also seasoned a pastured chicken from Full of Life Farm…

…sauteed some onions and garlic with tomato paste and wine…

…and plopped them in the slow cooker before heading out to run some errands.

While I was out, I fueled myself with a Primal Pac, mac nuts, and coconut flakes. Nope, I didn’t eat a real lunch today.

My future in-laws came over for dinner and although the slow cooker roast chicken and gravy was ready by 5:00 p.m.,I didn’t get dinner on the table until close to the kids’ bedtime. I was a terrible hostess and the delay was totally due to poor time management.

While the chicken stayed warm in the crockpot, I simmered and pureed a batch of carrot and parsnip puree

….roasted a tray of Brussels sprouts and bacon in the oven…

…. baked a few  Portobello mushrooms in the toaster oven…

…and made a platter of cheater crispy sous vide duck for the kids.

Once the sides and duck were done, I cut up the chicken and herded everyone to the dining room.

That’s a wrap! Good night!
