There is nothing like curing a hangover with eggs and toast but that is not an option for me so I am improvising with left over crumb cake. I think it was actually better today than right out of the oven because it had a chance to settle and was not so crumbly like a lot of gluten free baked goods.
To top off the day I am having some butternut squash soup and salad. The recipe on food network is great and you can easily cut the recipe in half without compromising the taste of the recipe. I recommend it!
Menu:
Breakfast – cinnamon crumb cake (see previous blog for recipe)
Snack - rice crackers and pear
Lunch – turkey and brown rice tortilla wrap
Snack – trail mix and raw bar
Dinner – butternut squash soup (Bare Foot Contessa’s recipe) chicken with Italian seasoning on greens salad with walnuts and cranberries
Dessert : Silk Chocolate Soy Milk

I love celebrating birthdays. There is something about the life of another person especially someone who means the world to you. What has been so re-enforcing about this process of eliminating foods is how receptive the waiters and waitresses have been at the restaurants. Everyone that I have encountered so far has been more than helpful to make sure I had something great to eat.
Menu:
Breakfast - Almond Milk oatmeal with dried cherries and fresh bananas
Lunch – carrot, bean sprout, brown rice, black bean salad and a soy latte
Snack – pear and trail mix with almonds dried cherries, apricots, coconuts, and vegan choc chips
Dinner – chicken tacos with onions guacamole and a lime margarita or two
Dessert – Emeril’s vegan chocolate chip brownies
Happy Thoughts: found some great grilling recipes for cilantro lime chicken J in Emeril’s new book
Special Stuff: Adding an apple to butternut squash soup makes it a special treat!
