Thanks everyone. Dinner was a success! Didn't get the chance to take many pictures because the wine was flowing and people were all over the food. The coq au vin blanc was a awesome! I didn't have to do any cooking as it was all done the day before...I think it made it much better. Yay!! Coq au vin blanc (I threw in…

Bacon, Gruyere & Leek tart straight from the oven (for my house guests--yeah right).

@eve70 You sure do love your chocolate!!! Great brunch by the way! I need to get back into yoga. I tore my plantar plate about a year ago which stopped me from downward dogging and pretty much all my boxing toe work. Can't wait until it fully heals as I do feel much better after a good long hot yoga session.

Yes to that!!! Congrats on your pants falling off (if it isn't embarrassing you of course!)

Come on over! Just bring more wine!!

I have to admit to being a french fry thief once in awhile myself :p

After going to the market, I have decided on the following menu: CharcuterieCrostini & assorted crackers Gherkins Olives Cherry tomatoes Pate Mimolette, gouda, brie Proscuitto, peppered sausage, summer venison sausage SaladMixed greens with blue cheese & pear with a french vinagrette MainCoq au vin blanc with spring…

@eve70: Congrats on the 4 pounds!!! I myself, after only 2 weeks back on my normal eating plan (sans processed carbs, etc) have dropped 5. I tend to gain enormous amounts of water weight with processed foods and sugars. Amazing how much better I feel and how much more control over eating I have when I cut the junk out.

Avocado chocolate mousse. Didn't have enough calories today and wasn't really that hungry so I had to get something else in me. Did the trick.

Iced Venti black-eye (iced coffee with 2 shots of espresso). Plain, nothing else in it.

@eve70, you are doing great---!!! Me, I have been doing pretty good myself. Today I had: fruit and hard boiled egg for breakfast Made vietnamese chicken salad for lunch (broccoli slaw, shredded chicken breast, cilantro, jalepeno, coconut sugar, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce) and for dinner I am going to have pan seared…

Wow! You guys are great!!! After hearing all this feedback, I think for the one night we are all together, we will stay in. On the nights when the visitors don't overlap (I have one night alone with some guests and one night alone with the others), I will take them to to a comfortable restaurant. This will probably be…

Thanks everyone! I am leaning to hosting it in house. Has anyone every made coq au vin blanc? I was thinking that I may be able to pull this off as an easy main course and have everything done before hand so I don't have to be in the kitchen other than to open more wine. Do you think this dish is too heavy for the spring?

@eve70 -- Your dinner looks amazing!! You technically had me at the espresso, but when I got to the venison and rhubarb, I wanted to come over!

I do stuff like this as I am a grazer throughout the morning and early afternoon

Their dark chocolate sea salt caramels are awesome!!! Especially paired with a double espresso....

cherry tomatos cucumbers avocado apple cantaloupe spinach onions garlic broccoli cabbage

My kind of dessert!!!!! Good luck on the sugar detox!! Does this include honey and natural sugars in fruit or just processed sugar? I would have a hard time not eating honey or fruit....

@crazyravr that curry shrimp looks amazing!! I know what I am having for dinner in the next few days!! Morning breakfast in the office Turkey sauasage, hard boiled egg, avocado, cherry tomatoes, apple and cantaloupe.

@eve70, dinner sounded great! I am not a fan of spaghetti squash so your dish sounded awesome to me!! I have a problem with bullet proof coffee. I just can't get past putting ANYTHING in my coffee. I did great yesterday, and the day before, so I am on a roll! This morning (I am a grazer between 7:30 am and 2:00 pm when I…

This morning I had: One hardboiled egg 8 oz canteloupe Cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers kalamata olives and .5 oz fresh feta Homemade greek yogurt (plain, 4 oz) with 1 TBSP raw honey For lunch I had a mixed green salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and grilled shrimp with oil and vinegar.For dinner I will probably…

Spicy Thai beef salad using leftover ribeye!

Support is here!! So nice to know everyone is going through the same things sometimes!!

Green dragon hot sauce, unsweetened dried cherries, golden raisins, broccoli slaw, raw nuts

Spinach Cherry tomatoes celery carrots cauliflower onions canteloupe

Thanks @wellnesschaser ! Today has been great. Yesterday was great up until 8pm when I accidentally opened a box of wheat thins that were supposed to be for guests next week. Note to self, add wheat thins back to the grocery list :s As far as 80/20, I think its an estimate, where you can feel free to use either calories or…

I've been waiting for this all week! Steak night!! Pan seared grass-fed ribeye with broccoli and sweet potato. No way can I finish this whole thing but I am sure gonna try!!!

* Cherry tomatos stuffed with avocado * Avocado and mandarin cubed with cilantro and red onion as a side for fish * Avocado cream with anything but great with scallops * Avocado, bacon and arugula (other greens) on flatbread * Avocado stuffed with crab salad or shrimp salad * Avocado salad dressing * Avocado chocolate…

Air fryer homemade paleo sweet potato tater tots (mashed sweet potatos, coconut flour, egg and other random spices). This was by far the most disgusting thing ever and went straight into the trash. I am an air fryer hater as everything I have tried (other than pre-processed food) has been terrible!!
