Lamb from a family friend![]()
My father belongs to a yacht club here in San Diego and they have a big brunch each year for Easter. Fortunately it will fall on day 3 of my no-cheat no-exception challenge so whatever they have I am going to either stick to primal foods or not eat.
Typically they have eggs, bacon, potatoes, fruit, doughnuts, bagels, pies, etc etc. Im sure I'll get enough protein at least. Besides with IF I typically do not eat until 3pm and this brunch is at 10:30 am.
I will say that before I went primal, I used to probably eat several thousand calories in one sitting at these brunches. I do not miss how I felt afterwards!

Sprial Glazed ham with local honey; collard greens and bacon; Macaroni and Cheese ( my southern in-laws brining this) along with yams. Egg Custard Pie for dessert. wine. gotta have wine.
Sounds yummy for the most part
I love the collared greens and bacon. I wish my mother liked bacon. I am wearing 2 different Bacon T's while in Chicago - maybe she will learn.
"Gotta have wine." - I agree 100% if you are a wine "liker." I enjoy the occasional wine. And, well, Easter is the time to enjoy the occasional wine. Yay!
I blog at PrimalToad.com and PrimalSmoothies.com.
The usual salad with leafy greens, acovado, tomato and olive oil with some boiled eggs. Plus I will indulge in quite a bit of dark chocolate covered almonds. Nice little primal treat.
My family is making brunch....cinnamon rolls, pancakes, and store-bought quiche. So as usual, I'll be making my own separate meal and everyone will make comments about how weird I am and why can't I just eat like a "normal" person. Oh man, I just love the holidays...
