Week 1 Verdict

The verdict on week 1 is in, and all in all it was pretty successful.  Here are the stats:

• # of non-vegetarian meals for the week: 2, both of which were sushi, so no meals with meat
• Interesting recipe of the week: Well, it was really the gluten-free, dairy-free cake I made for my mom's birthday, but since that has absolutely nothing to do with this diet, I'd have to say baked potatoes with veggies, salsa and cheese topping.  Which means, not a very interesting recipe week to kick off the diet.
• # of fights with Blaine about meals: 1 - not bad for the first week.  And this also had to do with croutons that I made, which has nothing to do with this diet either.

Today I made a unique twist on eggplant Parmesan, which is on the list of things that Blaine won't eat.  But, since he does eat zucchini I traded the eggplant for zucchini and made zucchini Parmesan.  And Jodie was brave enough to come over and try the experiment with us.  It was actually pretty good!  Try it next time you are going to make eggplant!  But, we did have it with pasta, which is not diffusing my theory about overloading on carbs on this type of diet.  I need some non-carb heavy recipe ideas!
