Day27

Woke up to Maisie meowing at 6:45 after only getting up one time to pee last night - that God that is getting better! Needed to get up anyway to prepare for my presentation today (anthology reading emcee). Meds and supps with 10oz. water at 7:00.

Breakfast at 7:15 - two eggs plus one egg white omelet with three slices of ham; eight strawberries; one "harvest cookie" (see recipe below); 8oz. water; 10oz. mint tea.

Harvest Cookies
- 2 bananas, mashed
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 4 soft Medjool dates
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ginger
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup raisins
(add or sub in diced apple next time!)

1. Preheat oven 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil. Grease with coconut oil.
2. Combine mashed banana, pumpkin, and dates in food processor and blend until smooth.
3. In separate bowl, combine coconut flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, and vinegar.
4. Add wet ingredients and mix until a thick batter is formed.
5. Fold in coconut and raisins.
6. Scoop heaping tablespoons of batter onto cookie sheet and flatten with hand (these cookies do not spread on their own).
7. Bake 20 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a rack or container.

On the way to my event today, I ate one Granny Smith apple. Then I drank 16oz. water at the reading.

Lunch at 1:45 at Panera - French onion soup (no cheese, no croutons, no bread); chicken cobb salad (romaine, avocado, egg, bacon, tomato...no dressing); one gala apple; 10oz. water

Snack at 4:15 - one small harvest cookie from recipe above

Dinner at 6:30 - grilled steak with sauteed mushrooms and onions in ghee, oven roasted butternut squash with coconut oil, sauteed asparagus with olive oil and garlic; 8oz. water
