Well, my youngest are in charge of food while the other 3 of us are recuperating. so I have little say in what gets delivered to the sick rooms.

Breakfast: eggs

Lunch: mcD's (someone dropped it off for us)

Snack: chocolate chips

Dinner: BBQ chicken & grapes

It's always best to affirm the youngest's fabulous effort. 🥰

Today’s a marathon travel day and I don’t have access to gf food of my choice. I mean, there is gf food but I have to have what’s on offer. 
 

breakfast-  keto blueberry cinnamon nut granola, coconut yogurt, bone broth 

lunch- scrambled eggs with bacon and then I ate two slices of gf toast which shot my blood sugars up. 
 

snack-  was served a gf strawberry rhubarb cobbler which was delicious but bad for my sugars. 
 

dinner-  gf fish and chips. I did have more choices at this meal and the little devil on my shoulder directed me to this instead of a healthy salad. 

[Selkie]

Friday - 

Breakfast - Mixed microgreens. Muesli/bean bowl with soybeans, mulberries, blueberries, mango, apple, pear, walnuts, pistachios, flax, chia, hemp, pumpkin seeds, walnut milk.

Lunch - was rushed and hectic. No time for a salad. Had a few Olina's Simply Seed crackers and cashew cream cheese.

Dinner - The rest of the spicy Japanese eggplant pizza.

snack - this is where I derailed.  had the remaining fish and chips from yesterday.  And some goat cheese for extra protein. 

I also did extra yard work today and "killed" myself stamina wise.  But I was so tired that I didn't keep up with my glucose testing so I don't have proof of how my body responded to my culinary sins.

dinner - a little bit of lentil soup.  And a flaxseed brownie.

hard boiled eggs.

My tummy is not doing too well with the dairy, but I'm recovering pretty well from covid.

[Harriet Vane]

So-so today, but I stopped at the frou-frou all-natural grocery store and bought some options for helping my days stay on track.

Breakfast--Tea and a banana before class. I was ravenous at by the end.

Lunch--bunless burger and potatoes. I had one portion when class was over, and then another portion mid-afternoon.

Dinner--Planning to make roasted chicken with some sort of veg and perhaps a baked potato or quinoa.

[Toocrazy!!]

Today was my fast day just until noon, so no breakfast. And no Diet Coke! I did it😀
lunch- chicken, cucumbers, red pepper strips, walnuts, cheddar, pickles, apple slice, PB 

snack- cashews 

dinner- eggs, bacon, toast with PB and flaxseeds, peach, dark chocolate and a glass of wine. 
 

my blood sugar is great when I eat like this, and I’m starting to really see the difference on the scales. But I’m so bored of what I’m eating right now. Need to mix it up before I go back to my old easy habits.

[historically accurate]

I tested negative this morning, so I came out to cook and do some laundry mainly. Kids have been doing a good job, but they were a little overwhelmed.

So, Tuesday:

Breakfast - honey nut cheerios with almond milk

Lunch - paleo chicken fingers and grapes and carrot sticks

Snack - cashews

Dinner - tilapia (thumbs up from the 4 who tried it) and "frozen fruit" (a frozen strawberry/banana/peach thingee I keep in the freezer for the summer)

Dessert - Youngest who has been cooking was excited to get back to baking, so vanilla gluten free cake with an ombre effect buttercream - Yum!

[Toocrazy!!]

Breakfast- cashews and Diet Coke. Still addicted after the one day off:) 

lunch- mixed salad with garbanzos and chicken, balsamic and olive oil, walnuts and dark chocolate

dinner - out;) wine, bunless cheeseburger and fries. Not quite the same but pretty good. 

my glucose monitor fell off last night, but I’d say I was steady until dinner. We did walk for about 30 minutes after dinner to hopefully help with the French fries. 

[Jean in Newcastle]

Tuesday- 

breakfast- keto blueberry cinnamon nut granola, coconut yogurt, bone broth 

lunch- scrambled eggs with mushrooms, onions and mixed greens, 1/2 flaxseed muffin, goat cheese. 
 

snack- I am sick to death of lunch meat and goat cheese so I got a protein box from Starbucks. 6 Apple slices, 9 grapes, wedge brie cheese, cheddar cheese and gouda cheese. I threw out the crackers. I paid for my sin of having some fruit with elevated blood sugars. Sigh. 
 

dinner-  cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, green beans, ground beef, avocado; flaxseed brownie 

hard boiled eggs 

[Selkie]

[Harriet Vane]

Tuesday:

Breakfast--Tea during class (NS). Ravenous afterward, Somehow I need to make it down the stairs ten minutes earlier to slam down a bowl of cereal. After class I had eggs and healthy gf pumpkin muffins with more tea (S).

Lunch--Since breakfast was so late, I wasn't starving. Ate two more healthy gf pumpkin muffins and some cherries. I'm not sure if those muffins count as carbs or not as they are made with almond flour.

Dinner--Pork chops and some fabulous millet-veg stirfry.

Snack--Just a few squares dark chocolate. (90% is my usual.)

[Jean in Newcastle]

@Jean in Newcastlesorry about the fruit! It’s so frustrating to see those results after eating something that’s should be healthy. 
 

@Selkieyour meals amaze me! They’re always so healthy and with so many different nutrients. 
 

Breakfast- cashews and Diet Coke. 
 

lunch- chipotle salad with extra veggies and beans- but I also had a couple chips and queso 

dinner- cucumbers, carrots, walnuts, cheese crackers, a few potato chips. 
 

still no glucose monitor on- you can see the cheating! Chips and potato chips in the same day when I can’t get a reading.  Still a long way to go for me to get this under control.

[Selkie]

Friday -

Dinner - I made split pea soup in my new crockpot and it was heavenly. Got the recipe from someone on the Nutritarian Network - I jazzed it up a little, as usual. Yellow split peas, onion, lots of garlic, mushrooms, carrots, green beans, corn, green peas, spinach, veggie broth & cashew cream. Also a whole grain bagel.

[Harriet Vane]

Friday:

Breakfast--2 mini-cukes on my way out the door to PT. Not my finest hour.

Lunch--Chicken salad with gf whole-grain crackers, banana

Snack--Dark chocolate, also a handful of chips and some cherries. Unfortunately I also grabbed a mini-can of ginger ale. I had been napping and was in such a fog. Soda isn't usually much of a temptation for me, and we had the ginger ale leftover from Easter. In my fog I think I was just reaching for anything to pull me forcefully back into consciousness. This makes me think that after an event like that it's a good idea to either get rid of the extras we don't want or put them in a less accessible spot.

Dinner--Herbed salmon, jonnycakes (delightful, simple corn cakes) with homemade low-sugar apple butter, mango, salad.

Rest of the day was a blur: downed a piece of danish while at work, scooped a chunk of leftover buttercream while getting ready for ER trip, some nuts I found in a container in the bottom of my purse while sitting in the ER, and some chips from the bag of chips from her hospital dinner while we waited for her room

Sunday:

Breakfast--Our usual Sunday bonanza. Eggs with veg, sausage, potatoes. Tea (NS). Dh tends to fill the plates with heaping amounts in his Sunday-morning zeal. Today I am happy that I ate until full and did not overeat as sometimes happens when the food is on the plate.

Lunch--Leftover sausage, sauerkraut, banana.

Snack--Dh surprised me with a gorgeous gluten free lemon cake after I woke from a nap. Since it's made from almond flour and sweetened with maple syrup, it's a slightly healthier dessert option (though it still definitely counts as a sweet). Incredibly moist, wonderful recipe. Adjusting to a gluten free, dairy free life has been a tough road the last few years, and recipes like this one really help. It is genuinely delicious, without tasting weird or off as substitutes often do.

Dinner--Not as successful of a substitute as that glorious cake, unfortunately. We made gf, df baked eggplant parmesan. The crumb coating never got crispy, ugh. The df ricotta "cheese" (Kite Hill cashew cheese) was delicious and I am glad to have a cheese substitute I actually like. We had sauteed gf gnocchi on the side, which was fabulous. I've never prepared gnocchi that way before.

Fabulous day today, thanks to dh who decided to grill a lot. 

Breakfast--Low-sugar granola with almond milk.

Lunch and Dinner--We had the same thing for both meals. Slow-grilled meat (pork roast, brisket, chicken), watermelon, salad. 

Snack--Friends joined us for lunch out on the deck. For dessert I ate the same gorgeous gf cake from yesterday. I will freeze the rest for another day. My friends tried the cake and raved about it--this recipe does NOT taste gluten free.

Well my Memorial Day weekend was full of events that didn’t lead to the best food choices. I made better choices than I used to, but sugar in bbq sauce, chocolate covered strawberries and watermelon kind of through my sugar out of whack. 
 

I got some blood tests back and they were good except my hsCRP was high. So, I’m going to cut back on the meat and sausage that were allowing me to keep my carbs low and focus more on the veggies and fiber. Also- less Diet Coke! 
 

fasted so no breakfast. 
 

lunch- mixed green salad with pico and avocado and pumpkin seeds.

dinner- fajitas over greens
