It’s hard to believe there are only two more days left of October Unprocessed.  It has gone by fast so far, but I’m definitely not sticking to this challenge like I did last year.  I am allowing myself to cheat a lot more, which in turn causes sugar cravings.  Chocolate chips have always been my weakness.  Once I start eating them, I start to crave more.  Also, I was much more strict last year about not eating pasta and breads.  So with Halloween only two days away, let’s see if I can refrain from the candy!!  Stay tuned for my overall results next week once this challenge is over. 🙂  Here are the foods I ate over the past week:

Day 22:  Wednesday, October 22

For breakfast, I had an English muffin that my daughter didn’t finish.  I also had some orange juice and an apple.

For lunch, I had some leftover chicken noodle soup.

I snacked on a few chocolate chips.

For dinner, I made chicken, broccoli, and fettuccine in a homemade Alfredo Sauce.

Day 23:  Thursday, October 23

While making my daughter’s lunch, I had a slice of turkey.  I had some orange juice and the leftover English muffin that my daughter didn’t eat.

For breakfast, I made a Pineapple Orange Banana Green Smoothie.

For lunch, I had some leftover chicken, fettuccine, broccoli alfredo.

For a snack, I had a cheese stick and a little piece of cookie pizza that my daughters had made.

For dinner, I made a frittata with roasted potatoes, eggs, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and spinach.  My family was not a fan.  Unfortunately, I didn’t like it much either, but I ate it anyway.

I had a little bit of chicken noodle soup as well.

Day 24:  Friday, October 24

For breakfast, I had some red grapes, orange juice, and a slice of the frittata I made last night.

For dinner, I had more of the frittata.

I went to a gathering on Friday night and had some tortilla chips, celery, and ranch dip.

Day 25:  Saturday, October 25

For breakfast, I had some yogurt and another slice of the frittata.  Fortunately, I liked it much better left over!

For lunch, I had leftover chicken broccoli fettuccine alfredo.

I made some granola for an afternoon snack.  It contained oats, pecans, almonds, cashews, raisins, vanilla, maple syrup, honey, and brown sugar.  I will be sharing the recipe in an upcoming post, so stay tuned! 🙂

For dinner, my husband got pizza since my daughter had a friend over, so I had a slice of that.

Day 26:  Sunday, October 26

For breakfast, I had orange juice and some of the granola I made yesterday.

For lunch, my husband got Kentucky Fried Chicken for the kids.  Other than a bite of the potatoes, I basically just had some Cole slaw.

For dinner, we went to a 4-H family event where they served pasta with homemade meat sauce, homemade macaroni and cheese, salad, and rolls.  I had a little bit of everything.  I did refrain from getting dessert, but I did eat the leftovers that my kids didn’t eat.
