Day 3: Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. #Surviveon35

In case you’re just catching up on some Saturday blog reading, I have been participating in the #Surviveon35 challenge.

Yesterday I shared the meals for day 2 and, you guessed it, the day before for day 1.

Yesterday was day 3. Nothing supercalifragilisticexpialidocious about it.

But once I get to the dinner portion, I must interject a quick story behind it.

Ready?

Day 3: Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. #Surviveon35

Breakfast: Fresh Peach Juice

Lunch: Tofu Slaw Salad and Leftovers

Dinner: Taco in a Bag

There is a story behind this one, as I mentioned above.

Growing up, we always went to a small town near my hometown each year on the 4th of July. My dad would march in the parade, and we would eagerly catch candy and freezies. Once he was done, we always grabbed “real food” there, too. They had burgers, brats, hot dogs, ice cream and more. But the one thing that has always stood out in my mind were the “Taco in a Bags.” Essentially, what they would do is take a small bag of Fritos and stuff the fixin’s in….meat, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, etc. They were so simple, and so delicious.

I didn’t see them there this past 4th of July. I wondered about them, and then I wondered, “How could I make a healthier, gluten-free version?!” I mean, that only makes sense, right??! And so I did….I figured out how to replicate it, as best I could.

You must know, though, that since mine are not in pre-packaged Frito bags, they don’t look as pretty. The taste? Stellar! I made notes about the homemade taco seasoning I made in the chart at the beginning of this post. I strongly urge you to use it!

I’m thinking they should hire me for the celebration next year 🙂

Questions? Just let me know!
