Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park-
The week after 4th of July my hubby and I headed to Bar Harbor, Maine where we spent a week strolling around the town and exploring Acadia National Park.
Lots of biking (14.5 miles), hiking (4 hours up and around a mountain), and kayaking (4 hours up the sound) called for refueling SCD style. Here are some meals that we enjoyed:
Breakfasts:
- Lots of SCD yogurt with fruit and honey
- Caramelized onion, mushroom and cheese omelet
- Poached eggs with sauteed mushrooms and tomatoes
- Cod wrapped in prosciutto with eggs over easy and spinach
Lunches:
- Cheese Burgers with avocado
- Salads
- Snacks packed for hiking/kayaking adventures e.g. nuts, cheese, dried fruit, SCD crackers
Dinners:
- Salad with grilled chicken (marinated in olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper) and dry white wine
- Filet Mignon and grilled shrimp with a garden salad
- Garlicky shrimp and NY Sirloin topped with caramelized onions
- Black Bean Soup with all the fixings e.g., salsa, melted cheese, SCD sour cream
- Maine Lobster with drawn butter
- Mussels
- Baked Brie with SCD crackers and apples
Thanks to the SCD I am having a happy and healthy summer and I hope you are too!
