Harriet Vane Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Thursday Breakfast--eggs with homemade hash (ham, potatoes, onions, peppers) Lunch--guacamole with tortillas, apple Snack--dark chocolate, also had some yoghurt later and some chips with salsa while watching a mystery with dh. Then we threw in some df ice cream because it turned into a multi-episode viewing and why not, especially after what a fiasco dinner was. Impulsive and regretful. At least it was a good mystery (Shetland season 7) Dinner--The saddest Filippino food ever. We ordered with great excitement from the only Filipino restaurant in the city. I was extremely pumped because they promised to do gluten free for me. We adore Filipino food--I had two Filipina roommies in college, one of whose mom cooked for us all many times, and dh lived for a summer in the Philippines. I make a gorgeous Chicken Adobo myself. But woe, because this restaurant food was horrible. The pancit was plain rice noodles with steamed vegetables. Their version of gluten free was apparently to just leave the sauce off of everything rather than substituting appropriately. The bare bare was thin and fatty and flavorless also. Dh's fish was not great either. Never again will we order from them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone raved over the pumpkin pie nice cream last night, so it will definitely be in my regular rotation from now on. Here’s the recipe I used. I did end up using one medjool date in place of the maple syrup, and also added an extra splash of vanilla extract and a little more pumpkin pie spice than it calls for. https://fitfoodiefinds.com/pumpkin-pie-banana-nice-cream/ I’m glad you’re getting an energy boost from the greens. I heard someone say that it feels like their cells are singing when they eat greens, and I know exactly what they mean! Dh thought my breakfast greens were a little bit nuts at first. Then he started eating just a small bowl of them, and liked it so much that now he’s loading up on a big bowl of them every morning. He’s been lifting weights his whole life and just set his personal record for deadlift (at age 56!). He swears it is because he is now powered by plants.🌱🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 Saturday - Breakfast - Watercress with mixed greens and microgreens. Muesli with soybeans, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, pomegranate, dragon fruit, apple, Asian pear, kiwi, mulberries, goji berries, goldenberries, walnuts, flax, chia, hemp, sunflower & pumpkin seeds, walnut milk. Lunch - Mixed greens. Whole grain pita with chickpea salad, roasted eggplant, mustard. Dinner - I made a new soup recipe, creamy red lentil soup - from John Robbin’s site, foodrevolution.org. (He is a super cool human being. He was born the heir to the Baskin Robbins fortune, but gave it all up as a young man because he could not in good conscience make money from a food that makes people unhealthy.) It’s a delicious blended soup and very easy to make- ingredients are red lentils, carrots, onion, garlic, Yukon Gold potatoes, veggie broth, spices. Also had an artichoke and quinoa flatbreads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Sunday Breakfast--Dh's usual bonanza. Potatoes, eggs, bacon, half a grapefruit, tea. All in the right amounts. Lunch--gf tortilla wraps with turkey and hummus, also some pickles and an orange. Dinner--Big salad with lotsa veg and ham. Snack--dark chocolate with a handful of almonds Monday Breakfast--grabbed two bananas on my way out to PT Lunch--Beans mushed with salsa, scooped with baked tortilla/flax chips, also tea (S) and a clementine Dinner--Gorgeous Philippines extravaganza. Chicken adobo, rice, pancit, salad (onion, tomato, cucumber with vinegar), mango Snack--plain dark chocolate I let dark chocolate creep back in full force. I am thinking I will not fight it for now--it's usually 85% or 90% cocoa, though this last week dh bought some that was 70% (which is still low sugar). I've got a big work project, so I'll coast along until it's turned in in a few weeks, then try to draw back and give attention to snacking on veg options more times in the week. The good thing, though, is that I am not falling prey as much to chips in the last week or so, which I often crave for the salt. Slowly but surely, inch by inch. Portion control is good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I'm currently getting rainbows about half my days (got one today, thanks to black bean soup for dinner). Sometimes I'm hitting my water minimum, sometimes not--the weather has cooled dramatically, so I'm not thirsty unless I'm exercising. (I've maintained my streak, but there's a lot of daily variation in how many minutes & how many steps I get.) The Halloween candy box remains sealed shut. Prunes satisfy my sweet tooth pretty well, but I've also had coffee with sugar (and plant milk) most days. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realized the other day that I have not been drinking enough water, so I'm trying to make a concerted effort to boost that, too. Coffee with plant milk is healthy. I wonder if you might enjoy maple syrup to sweeten it? It tastes like caramel and a little bit goes a long way, and it's much healthier than white sugar. I also throw in a scoop of collagen powder (it's tasteless). I had a hard time giving up sugar entirely when it came to tea. I chose to accept that there are certain flavors of tea that I prefer with a little sugar. I simply try to balance those sweetened flavors with other, unsweetened flavors at other times. Just options to muse on--take what's helpful, toss if not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Tuesday Breakfast--banana, df yoghurt, black tea with a tiny bit of homemade marmalade added for lovely, orangey flavor Lunch--eggs and potatoes and a slice of ham. Dinner--Lamb stew (lamb, peas, onions, carrots, seasonings), big salad, gf dinner rolls. The bread is something I bought ready-made, and it was not great. I find that gluten free bread needs to be homemade or bought from a bakery or it's just disappointing. Probably just as well to keep carbs down. No chocolate today, cha-ching. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunch - Mixed greens. Whole grain pita with tofu, roasted eggplant & baby squash, cashew mayo, mustard. Dinner - During my frosty morning horse chores, I decided that it was a good day for soup, so threw some together in the crockpot. Our house smelled so good all day. I rarely get hungry between meals, but my stomach was grumbling from the wonderful aroma.🙂 Ingredients were an assortment of lentils & split peas, barley, leeks, garlic, carrots, green beans, green peas, edamame, mixed mushrooms, diced tomatoes, kale, collard greens, veggie broth, many spices, cashew cream. Had a quinoa flatbread, too. I was planning to have a pomegranate for dessert (I ❤️ pomegranate season), but I was too full.

We had guests, so I made Polish sauerkraut from scratch and applesauce from scratch to go with kielbasa. Dessert was df vanilla yoghurt with a sprinkle of gf granola and some strawberry-lemon coulis drizzled on. I was strong and did not eat any piroghis nor any of the "official" dessert that was laden with gluten. I count the meal as a win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinner - Tried a new recipe from Monkey and Me Kitchen Adventures for lemon ricotta pasta, using Kite Hill almond ricotta (which is oil-free, a rare find!). For the pasta, I used half spiralized hearts of palm and half Banza chickpea pasta, and served it with roasted mushrooms and broccoli. I probably won’t make it again, just because I’m not a big fan of pasta or cheesy things, but it was a nice change of pace. Had my usual artichoke as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I have 14 rainbows in October so far, the last 5 consecutive. Most of these wins are from a few dishes (including as leftovers): black bean soup, cheeseburger sheet pan dinner, barbecue bowls, and eating prunes as a snack to get a purple. I keep going back and forth on coffee. I don't need the sugar, and I certainly don't need the cost. I do like it, though, especially hot on a cold morning or cold on a hot day. I had tea today. I'm also not sure if I want to keep tracking my water intake. I change which habits I track each month, and for November, I think I just want to simplify. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The soup was cobbled together using elements of two different recipes (one from Minimalist Baker and the other from Monkey & Me Kitchen Adventures) and some tweaks of my own. Ingredients were roasted butternut, carrots, onion, and garlic, veggie broth, cashew cream, ume plum vinegar, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika & a few other spices.
