What do you eat when you can't eat anything?

 

So far, I am a HUGE fan of juicing.

I like it.

It's Healthy.

Most of the time it's tasty.

It keeps me full.

It's fairly easy.

It's safe.

 

I get really overwhelmed when I think about that long list of things that I can't have right now.

And it really scares me to things about the process of adding foods back into my diet.

I really don't want to go back to feeling crappy!

Like the sometimes silly girl that I am I tried some rice at a restaurant last weekend.

DUH!

It was rice pilaf. 

White rice.

TONS of preservatives I'm sure.

I felt TERRIBLE the next day.

I have also had some shrimp and crawfish.

Thankfully I didn't have any adverse reactions to either of those!

 

I decided that this week I was going to start adding in non-juiced vegetables back into my diet!

Last night the MR. was having tacos for dinner,

and I had made homemade quacomole to go with it.

FINALLY!  Something yummy that I can have!

 

THEN I got the awesome idea to make quacomole wraps with lettuce leaves.

My creative juices really started to flow.

I sauted some mushrooms and red bell peppers with some garlic, spices & homemade chicken broth (inplace of butter or olive oil).  I added a little all natural salsa to the mix and let those babies cook away.

While the veggies were cooking I spread the guacamole unto lettuce leaves,

added the veggies when they were done,

and rolled those suckers up.

I was in heaven.

I ate like a little piggy,

and couldn't even eat everything on my plate!

I'm excited to play around a little bit with the lettuce wrap idea!

It's a fun, healthy way to have a "wrap" without the wrap!
