Indigo Blue Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Made two Shane and Simple snacks today. Homemade potato chips and the energy bites! So good! I may never buy store bought again! Chips have no salt or oil. They stuck to the paper the first time, so I ordered a new box of unbleached parchment paper. It’s working much better. Energy bites are delicious, but I will cut the sugar in half next time. They will be very low sugar that way. They came out too sweet for me, but still so good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 My July goal is to keep doing what I've been doing...focus on nutrient density and plant diversity, stop eating before the point of fullness, and no food for at least four hours before bed. June was a great month, nutrition-wise. We had so much delicious and healthy food. Dh and I both dropped several more pounds. I tried many interesting new recipes, and just about all of them are keepers. My new three tiered steamer got a lot of use and has quickly become my favorite kitchen appliance. I joined the Neuro Academy with Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai, which is a community focused on brain health, with classes, cooking sessions, Q & A's with the doctors, etc. I love it so far. The nutrition and cooking parts are already very familiar to me (it's all WFPB), but it is a lot of fun to cook with a community of like-minded people. Friday - Breakfast - Daikon, cabbage, and broccoli microgreens. Muesli with pigeon peas, guava, plum, nectarine, banana, cantaloupe, blueberries, apple, pear, walnuts, pistachios, flax, chia, hemp, sunflower & pumpkin seeds, walnut milk. Lunch - Hummus with veggies (celery, carrots, cukes, tomatoes), tofu, kaniwa, greens (mustard, turnip, Napa cabbage), and a quinoa flatbread. Dinner - Two sprouted whole grain wraps with bbq tempeh, vinegar slaw, arugula, pickles. Strawberries and watermelon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I've been on vacation for a week. So restful and rejuvenating. Dsil has covid now, so we are all hunkering down and avoiding people and praying we don't get it. I did pretty well with vacation food (healthy meals and lots of salad/veg/fruit), though my portion sizes were larger than my usual at meals, and I had a bonafide dessert literally every day. I console myself that at least the desserts were small--one cookie or one cakeball on a stick, etc. Others had gone to a great deal of trouble to make sure I had gluten free and dairy free options, so I decided to relax and enjoy. It wasn't a binge or anything like that--just a decision to loosen up and not track anything for the duration of our time together. We drove home yesterday, and travel food was better than usual for me. Breakfast--eggs, sausage, mixed fruit, coffee (S) Lunch--Snacked on strawberries and some low-salt chips while on a long stretch of road with very few options for food. Ended up at a bbq shack in the middle of nowhere and had some glorious pork belly on a corn tortilla. Such a happy accident. Snack--handful of choc-covered peanuts and coffee with almond milk (minimal sugar from a raspberry shot). Dinner--half a personal pan sized gf pizza with veg, no cheese Today so far doing pretty well. Started by finishing the other couple slices of gf pizza from last night and had a big mug of tea with minimal sugar. I pulled chicken out of the freezer for dinner, so we're on course for a good day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 I got some work done in the kitchen today to prep for the coming week: Made two mason jars of salad dressing (sesame peanut and creamy Mediterranean olive), a pitcher of walnut milk, and two batches of quinoa flatbreads. I ground flax and chia and mixed them with hemp, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds, to go in our breakfast bowls (dh and I go through about one mason jar of seed mix a week). Also steamed a couple pounds of tofu to keep in the fridge (a favorite snack of dh, our kids, and our dogs). Cut up a pineapple, a watermelon, and a cantaloupe. And I made a double batch of soup that should last us a few days. Saturday - Breakfast - Cabbage and broccoli microgreens. Muesli with soybeans, banana, nectarine, plum, apricot, pear, apple, guava, kiwi, cantaloupe, pineapple, blueberries, mulberries, goji berries, goldenberries, walnuts, hazelnuts, flax, chia, hemp, sunflower & pumpkin seeds, walnut milk. Lunch - Sprouted whole grain wrap with avocado, sriracha, pinto beans, tofu, cukes, tomato, red onions, romaine, and butter lettuce. Vinegar coleslaw. Watermelon and a G-BOMBS bar. Dinner - Lemony thyme lentil soup (Monkey & Me recipe) with onion, celery, carrots, garlic, veg broth, tomatoes, lentils, potato, spices, lemon, kale. Quinoa flatbreads. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Monkey and Me recipes. With moving and such, I've been focusing on potatoes, usually with roast veggies and a tofu sauce I make up as I go. Sometimes I do it as a hot dog (ketchup, mustard, and relish). I love potatoes with broccoli! Sometimes its just "cheese" sauce (made from oatmeal) and salsa. Then supper last night was just thrown together: yellow peppers, onion, zucchini, mushrooms, rice noodles, tofu, broth and aminos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Breakfast--low-sugar granola with cashew milk Lunch--Dd gave dh a high-quality salami, so I had a few chunks with rice crackers and also ate a peach. I am trying to move away from preserved meats or commercially produced lunch meat, so I will leave this to dh in future. Snack--A gf/df brownie and handful of chips. This was leftover from vacation. They're gone now, so back to plain 90% dark chocolate from here on out. Dinner--Yesterday we did not get around to baking the chicken and had black bean soup instead. Served with simple johnnycakes (basically cornmeal mush sauteed on a griddle like pancakes). Healthy and delicious. Today dh grilled the chicken as well as a strip steak. We are trying to eat smaller portions of meat and concentrate on sides, and it worked beautifully tonight. Splitting the steak in half gave each of us a very small portionand we focused on the sides--marinated grilled mushroom, some tiny potatoes tossed with chives and olive oil, and strawberries. We each ate a chicken wing but are mostly saving the grilled chicken for other meals this week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toocrazy!! Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 July hasn’t started out too healthy. We’ve been traveling, and stayed with friends, so being a good guest😀 I ate mostly what was served, which was delicious! Friday- tried to fast, but ended up with enough cheezits while I was driving to start the blood sugar rise. lunch- turkey and ham sandwiches with lettuce and tomato, tortilla chips dinner- pork tenderloin, tomato, cucumber, feta on greens, corn on the cobb, strawberry pie Saturday- breakfast- tomato basil quiche with berries lunch- I deconstructed my sandwich today into a chef salad:) no bread dinner- lasagna and big green salad, strawberry pie Sunday- skipped breakfast lunch- cheese, chips and salsa, refried beans, fajita steak and some veggies. dinner- delicious romaine salad with yuca and capers and feta, a potsticker and a wing. These would have been terrible for me, but luckily they were too salty to eat:) (this was at a restaurant) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) OK, Monday: Oatmeal (love oatmeal, usually with mixed berries) Potato with tofu sauce and hot sauce "hamburger" salad (was supposed to be a lettuce wrap but I made a mess so just chopped it all up): potato, tofu, tomato, lettuce, buffalo mustard Supper will be roast veggies (zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, peppers, onions) with finely chopped frozen fruit (blueberry, strawberry, banana). I thought about throwing it off in the blender with some milk to make a nice cream or shake. Depends on what the little kids want to do 🙂 Edited July 4, 2022 by Pamela H in Texas forgot a very important vegetable 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Definitely drifting a bit post-vacation. Eating healthy but just not tracking or posting. Today: Breakfast--Tiny bowl of low-sugar granola before class, and then after class I had a gluten-free roll with dairy-free butter, and then also a peach. I baked the rolls last night to go with portabella sandwiches (YUM!), and this recipe is a winner. It feels and tastes like "real" bread to me. I have learned that I can eat just a smidge of granola to get going--often a bigger bowl of cereal ends up feeling overwhelming. Green tea (NS). Lunch--Leftover roast chicken and another peach. Snack--Dark chocolate. Probably tea a little later. Dinner--Guacamole and seasoned ground beef street tacos, also some raw red and orange pepper sticks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we decided to play pickleball which I can’t do fasted, so I took advantage of lots of cardio in my future and had a bagel on the way:) then I had 1/2 order fries before I took my dog to the dog park then I ate my mixed berries with chia and flax and keto granola then we went to a community event with food and I had some cheese, a couple mini meatballs, tons of yummy cowboy cavier type bean dip, Cole slaw and black beans and rice. fun day!

Indigo Blue Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 For those trying to stay no or low sugar: I’ve been eating amaranth porridge and have been really enjoying it. I thought I’d post how I do it in case anyone wants to try. Put 2.5 cups water and 1 cup amaranth in Instant Pot. Cook under pressure for 5 minutes and use 10 minute or natural release. Store in container for up to five days. It’s four servings. For each serving, I put a cold serving into a bowl with four large chunks of frozen banana. Microwave until warm and banana is soft. Mash up the banana and mix it into the amaranth. Top with cinnamon and chopped pecan. It’s so sweet and delicious. Has lots of iron and protein. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
