Day 2 was weird, I didn't get a very good nights sleep, and was not sure how that would effect my day. About half way through the day I completely crashed and just laid on the couch half awake wanting junk food. But I prevailed! I took a nap, had a cup of coffee and made an amazing dinner. I had no recipe to follow or modify, so I created something with what I had. Ended up with pork chops and mushroom gravy.
Ingredients:
2 pork chops, about 1" thick
Whatever spices you like, I used thyme, salt, garlic powder, and pepper
Gravy:
2T coconut oil
2 heaping spoonfuls of almond meal
Handful of mushrooms (I used 3), chopped
Slice of onion, diced
3T or so of broth (I had chicken on hand so I used that)
Heat skillet on medium low, add coconut oil
Season pork chops as you see fit, place in oil and cover
Cook about 8-9 minutes a side
Remove chops from skillet and tent with foil
Keep skillet over heat and add broth, once it comes back up to temp add onions and mushrooms
Let simmer a few minutes until mushrooms are cooked through and add almond meal, whisking mixture until thickens slightly and almond meal breaks up a bi
Remove from heat and top pork chops
Sorry about the purple cauliflower! The store did not have regular, and I felt like I was eating play dough. Any-who, I steamed the cauliflower, and blended it with garlic, salt, and chicken broth. For the brussel sprouts I tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper, and cooked for 35 minutes at 400 degrees, making sure to shake the cookie sheet every five or so to roast evenly.
