I actually didn't want it but the person organizing the reunion pizza dinner had a mini fit when I said that I was bringing my own food so I gave in. Then I got there and saw another classmate with her own healthy food. Sigh. I should have stuck to my guns like she did. It was tasty but like I suspected, my sugars went sky high. But they are normal now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have learned so much fascinating info about the gut microbiome from him, and he's pretty funny, too. Dr. Alan Desmond is another good one - he wrote a book about gut health and does lots of podcast interviews. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I threw in some roasted mushrooms. Also had veggies & dip - carrots, celery, radishes, and bell pepper with WFPB lemon sunflower dip.

Indigo Blue Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I tried amaranth for the first time today. I made it as a hot porridge then added a very small amount of maple syrup and ceylon cinnamon. I like it! So much protein, calcium, and iron! It’s a new super food I like and will be another way to get more of these nutrients. You can also pop it like popcorn! I may try that tomorrow. I also made pancakes from bananas and oat flour. I ate them plain with nothing on them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeAgain Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Not for today, but we were on vacation last week (Disneyland) and I found quite a few healthy options. These were my favorite, though, and we'll be trying to work similar recipes into our diets at home: Grand Californian quick service: Chia seed pudding made with coconut milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and fresh fruit Cafe Orleans (Disneyland, NO Square): ratatouille farro risotto. I don't know if I would call it either a ratatouille or risotto, but it was a very filling, light feeling dish. Trader Sam's: Rongo salad with edamame, tofu, green papaya, gooseberries. It needed a little extra, so when we make it at home I'll probably replace the (hard to get) gooseberries with a mango. Similar tangy base flavor, but more creamy and filling. I did not try anything with Impossible meat, so that meant quite a few vegetarian options were off the table from the beginning. And the cauliflower tacos were not good at all for people who don't like broccoli. They were well spiced but could not cover the flavor of riced cauliflower so it was just weird. But the three meals above were fabulous and I think we can work them into our diets without problem at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
