Day 52 Brunch

In an attempt to be more dedicated--here is a snapshot of brunch. Two slices of bacon, two links of sausage and shirred eggs, with a sliced navel orange. Shirred eggs are one of my favorite recipes from my mom, very simple really. Just butter up a small ramekin, crack two eggs into it, a dollop of cream, and salt and pepper to taste, then pop it in the oven until it reached the desired doneness. I like mine still slightly runny, so 10 minutes is perfect. The sausage, butter and use of cream makes this a not purely Paleo dish, but the meal is low oxalate and very filling. Oranges are on my list of low-oxalate fruit, and during the winter months are one of the most luscious fruits to be found. I bought a small bag of clementines the week before Christmas and have been eating one or two a day for the past few days along with eggs or smoked pork chops, or leftover steak. Christmas itself was a departure from the Paleo menus, since I made Medieval pork pie for dinner, and we had key lime pie for dessert--all that sugar and pie crust was definitely not Paleo! But the new year comes soon, and my husband wants to be good, so his natural inclination to be a bad influence on my cooking will also diminish, and we will be having more simple meals of meat with salads and vegetables. The dairy has crept back in for the holidays, but I will stop using it once the New Year begins. My LS has flared up badly for the past week, I am keeping close tabs on it since I am unsure if it is because I have been more lenient with my diet, or perhaps it is just that these things happen once in a while... All I can hope is that it improves soon. My wedding anniversary is only a couple of days away. I would like it to be romantic and intimate. LS really gets in the way. :(
