DIETARY REBOOT – Days 23 and 24

I’m one lucky Galley Kat this week.
Not only did my daughter prepare us her Shakshuka,
(her super delicious recipe here)
Captain François decided to treat us to one of his faves for supper.
On to the menu board for today…
Breakfast
Sweet Potato Sausage Pie
I omitted the cheese this time
and went back to my butcher for Whole 30 compliant sausage

Lunch
Pineapple Chicken Lettuce Wraps
No recipe needed but this is what I did:
Sauté 1 tbsp grated ginger, chopped white of 1 green onion (save the green part to garnish)
and 1 garlic clove, grated in 1 tbsp sesame oil
Deglaze with 1 tbsp coconut aminos. Stir in 1 cup chopped cooked chicken, 1/2 cup pineapple chunks, 1 tin of water chestnuts, chopped, a sprinkle of dried chilis.
Spoon into Romaine heart leaves, top with seed sprouts and reserved chopped green onion.
This also makes a delicious chicken salad. Just add the above chicken mixture to chopped greens.
