21-Day Keto Diet: Day 12 (St. Patrick's Day)

Happy St. Patrick's Day all!  We had a great day today.  My mom-in-law, sis-in-law and nieces came into town. We hadn't seen them in quite a while, and Lil' Man had a good time playing with his cousins.

Breakfast: Coconut Flour Pancakes with sugar-free syrup (regular syrup for Lil' Man), sausage, and a strawberry.
Lunch:  We went to McDonalds so the kids to play after eating (and so Grandma could treat them to ice cream).  I had the Grilled Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad (net 5 carbs), with balsamic dressing (1/2 packet, 2 net).  The Hubs had two McDouble's with no bun or ketchup, and ordered extra lettuce to use as a wrap.  
Dinner:  It's St. Paddy's Day!  What else would we have, but corned beef and cabbage?  We made some Thousand Island dressing (since everything at the store was at least 5g carbs/serving...and there's no purpose in buying a whole bottle and letting it languish in our fridge for 3 years).  Added some sauerkraut (0 carbs), Swiss cheese, and wrapped it in a steamed cabbage leaf.
(Note: if you're not doing keto on St. Patrick's Day, I suggest checking out some of my other St. Pat's recipes, like the Irish Egg Rolls, the Irish Breakfast, or if you're completely over green beer, try a Green Hurricane!) 

Totals:1343 kcal, 95.5g fat, 21 net carbs, 100g protein

My Thoughts:  Today was a really good day. I felt good, had a good time with family, and got a lot done around the house this morning.

Hubs' Thoughts: Ditto.
