Selkie Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 Goals and thoughts for the New Year - 2022 was the year I banished my bad eating habits and figured out what my body needed to become lean and healthy. My goal for 2023 (and beyond) is to keep on doing these things: Continue with my WFPB Nutritarian eating style, focusing on nutrient density and plant diversity Continue eating SOS-free (no added salt, oil, or sugar) Be 100% in and make every mouthful count Eat three meals a day with no snacks Finish eating by 6pm 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 My goal is for the holidays to be over and to STOP having meals with the mothers that they prepare because it is so far from healthy it staggers the imagination! That is the main goal. They won't like it, but they also do.not.listen. Today I made a taco/nacho spread. I made everyone's favorites, but I also had lovely fajita veggies and two kinds of beans. I used a GF wrap and made myself a bean heavy burrito with the veggies, and a dollop of Greek yogurt. No desserts. Tonight we are having leftovers. The boys leave tomorrow and for the next couple of weeks this is going to be a soup and salad every single day kind of meal plan. I also want to get back to not eating after 6 pm. My digestive track is so much healthier when I am strict about this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) I started off the New Year with a positive Covid test. After managing to dodge it since the beginning of the pandemic, it finally got both Dh and me. I didn’t have much of an appetite, so only ate a little bit today. Breakfast - Watercress with mixed greens and microgreens. A mini version of my usual breakfast bowl with a sprinkle each of oats, beans, fruit & berries, nuts, seeds, and soy milk. Lunch - Mixed greens. Dinner - Ezekiel toast and a small bowl of Thai red curry Brussels sprouts soup (from the freezer).

Apple, sour cherry, and blueberry gf crisp that I made for our NY brunch. I don't eat much fruit so this felt very fancy. Avocado, carrot, zucchini, leftover stuffed mushroom filling on greens with lemony vinaigrette. Chai, espresso, espresso. Tacos with sausage, beans, greens, and carrots. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoVanGogh Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I normally lurk but am hoping to contribute more in 2023. I am moving more toward a total vegan, wfpb diet. I have chronic health issues and am trying to heal my body / stall the progression of Parkinson’s via diet. This past year, I have gotten very focused on what goes in my body and I feel so much better. No cravings, much more energy. DH has been off work for the past two weeks, which has upended my routines. I am so looking forward to him going back to work so I can get back to my normal eating schedule/style without him underfoot. (He happily eats what I cook, but he otherwise eats like a poor college student. Lots of cheap junk. He fusses at me for not eating enough, then he goes to a fast food drive-thru. Sigh.) I work out with a personal trainer on Mondays so eat a heavier breakfast than normal. This morning: Oatmeal, with two dates and a serving of walnuts, apple with almond butter. Lunch: vegetables with hummus, vegan protein smoothie. Supper: vegetable stirfry, with oven baked tofu. I think I am finally getting the hang of cooking tofu. Goals for the week: Resume having a green smoothie/daily, at least one serving of berries/daily and large leafy green salad for lunch or supper. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I realized I feel full from 3 meals a day, and that maybe snacking is what I do when I skip a meal, which I used to do in the name of IF. Next up, reduce caffeine intake. Any suggestions for a strongly flavored drink that isn't chai or coffee? I like pero but it's got a lot of gluten. Right now I'm at two cups of coffee, two or three espressos, and a chai. Today I will kick the chai, since it activates my IC, and move to one espresso. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith-manor Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Yesterday: Breakfast - scrambled eggs with veggies Lunch - chicken thigh, large salad, baked beans (left over of mother in law and wow, does she put a lot of molasses in there!) Dinner - Large pile of leftover black beans and refried beans from the taco dinner on Sunday, fajita veggies, Greek yogurt, and some tortilla chips Today: Not eating breakfast Lunch will be a very large salad with carrots, black beans, jalapeno (light on those) red pepper, salsa, and a little cheddar cheese ,V-8 juice Dinner - vegetable dumpling soup made with chicken broth but otherwise meatless No snacks, lots of coffee and water. My poor digestive track needs an opportunity to get back to normal after our mothers nearly killed us with too much of the wrong foods over the holidays! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoVanGogh Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Selkie, Glad you and your husband feel better. We had a mixed green salad and a berry salad for supper, along with stuffed mushrooms. The inspiration for the mushrooms was a recipe in a vintage vegetarian cookbook I have owned for 25 or so years. (Think 1960s vegetarian cookbook. LOL It was already vintage when I bought it used!) I omitted the parm cheese and oil and added amaranth and hemp hearts. They were really good and even DH, who doesn’t overly care for mushrooms, liked them. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Today was cabbage, zucchini, carrots and leftover basmati rice with an egg for breakfast Almonds, two bites of cheese, some lentil crackers for lunch Pesto and yogurt for dinner - it was our last frozen jar from last summer's basil. (Eating pesto without the pasta is my secret indulgence.) 2 coffees, a chai, one espresso and some water 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livetoread Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Last year I tried shifting to more wfpb and I definitely noticed a difference in how I felt - lighter with more energy. Over the holidays I ate a lot of sugar and cheese and felt more heavy and sluggish, so I'm glad to be back to more wfpb. I'm getting better at figuring out what a complete vegan dinner feels like. Having just one dish seems sparse to me, even if it is a lot of things together like a bowl, but we're getting used to it and I don't feel like I'm starving dh who is going along with my eating plans. I miss our CSA that kept me drowning in veggies over the summer and fall, and I need to work on menu planning a bit more to keep from having to dash to the store for one more veggie or fruit. I've decided to do Taco Tuesday to help with menu ideas and tonight was spiced chickpeas, cilantro pesto, and avocado on a corn tortilla. Simple but really good from Rainbow Plantlife. I also made a salad (recipe NYT) with arugula, spiced roasted carrots, blood oranges, and olives with an orange zest dressing. It was really good but a lot of work. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought cilantro and all for tacos, then totally forgot to get corn tortillas. I am now trying to decide if I want to try and make my own tortillas. I have cilantro growing in the garden, but the epic cold right before Christmas really set the plants back and I am waiting a while before I harvest any. I have always wanted to be in a CSA. We do have a really good farmers market nearby and several of the growers practice regenerative agriculture. Alas. They are on winter hours through March so not every week. I try to buy more of the things that I know will keep well, but I am now out of the produce I bought before Christmas and i still have 1.5 weeks before the next market. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Tuesday Grabbed a banana on my way out to PT, then had eggs and cherries and coffee (soy milk, maple syrup, cinnamon) afterward. Mid-afternoon I had a smattering of leftover chips with salsa and an orange. Later I grabbed some dark chocolate. Dinner--Beautiful lemon-chicken soup with home-baked gf focaccia and a salad. Unfortunately I greased the focaccia pan with coconut oil and so it was a weird mix. The homemade bread with rosemary was soooooo good, but the coconut oil was weirdly ever-present. Will never do that again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Breakfast—granola with soy milk Snack—Decaf coffee with almond milk and raw sugar, also one lone macaron. Lunch + Dinner—Rooted out some leftover stirfry (homemade) from the freezer. I ate late and let myself get too hungry, so then ate too much. Tried to then go with the flow by eating dinner late. Nothing looked appealing so I had some cherries and later a banana. I wasn’t purposely trying to cut back on dinner—I just was not drawn to any of the available foods in the fridge. I cleaned out the freezer just now and ate a small square of gf chocolate cake that was lurking in the back.

Will drink more water today. I really don’t like most off-the-shelf gluten free products. Everything changed for me when started using Gluten Free Artisan Bread in Five Minutes Per Day. It’s a fabulous and easy system for home baked gluten free bread. Just mix up a batch (literally takes ten minutes tops) and stick it in the fridge. Take out a small portion and bake as needed. The book gives tips for creating the ideal loaf, but there are many times that I just throw a cold splodge of dough in the oven and the bread is still delicious. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Friday - Breakfast - Watercress with kale and microgreens. Breakfast bowl with soybeans, oats, apple, blueberries, kiwi, dragon fruit, fig, sour cherries, passion fruit, mango, lemon and orange zest, mulberries, goji berries, goldenberries, walnuts, pecans, flax, chia, hemp, sunflower & pumpkin seeds, soy milk. Lunch - Mixed greens. Whole grain pita with falafel, cucumber, tomatoes, scallions. Pomegranate arils. Dinner - An artichoke and a bowl of Italian Greens and Beans soup served over brown rice. This is a longtime favorite and one of the first recipes I ever made from Monkey and Me Kitchen Adventures, back when I had just started fixing my broken palate. Ingredients are onion, garlic, veggie broth, tomato sauce, soy milk, lemon juice, beans (I used borlotti and butter beans), fresh basil, lots of spices, and greens (I used kale and baby bok choy). I also added mushrooms. Dessert - Chocolate hazelnut nice cream. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith-manor Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) Breakfast: boiled egg and later some orange juice I haven't been putting the obvious coffee addiction on my daily report because I assumed after all these years, you all know that the day give up caffeine I am no longer breathing. 😂 So just assume every day is two mugs in the morning and two in the afternoon. Lunch - I was craving hummus. Hummus, carrot, red pepper, and celery sticks plus a few gf pretzels. One tangelo. Supper - Italian soup (home canned tomatoes, fresh onions, garlic, basil and oregano plus just a little bit of sugar and some salt) with ricotta and parmesan dumplings. Absolutely delicious! We had big salads because I scored a nice container of spring greens. If I get munchy later, I will have some more hummus, but I honestly thing supper was so filling that it won't happen.

Harriet Vane Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Friday Breakfast--eggs and a small sweet potato Lunch--lemon-chicken soup Dinner--Texmex buffalo roast with black beans and avocado. The roast also had lots of onion and jalapenos and tomatoes and garlic. It was a fiasco making it, first because I knocked a glass bottle of olive oil onto the tile floor (such a mess!!!) and then because when I flipped the roast in the searing process, a huge splash of hot oil hit my wrist. Painful! But it tasted wonderful in the end. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Saturday: Posting early. I know what we are having for dinner because Mark is making it. Breakfast: Epic coffee addiction satisfied. Orange juice, boiled egg. Lunch: more yummy hummus and veggie sticks, lots of them. For some reason, that hummus just really hits the spot lately. No snack. Trying not to snack. If I can't make it, I will eat one small square of dark chocolate, and will myself to leave the kitchen. Dinner: Mark is making his divine Caputo Zero GF pizza dough. I have homemade pizza sauce, and it will be topped with fresh mozzarella, feta, mushrooms (lots of mushrooms), green pepper, green onion, shredded spinach, and black olives on his side, oh and fresh basil leaves. It makes about a 7" pizza and because it is so healthy, we don't worry about eating the whole thing. 😁 Lemon selzer water as well as plain water throughout the day. Be proud of me. I did not make an afternoon pot of coffee! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eos Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Yes, I make a lot at a time and freeze them before cooking. I get all the ingredients ready then grind them together 1/4 recipe at a time since I have a big food processor. I like mine really green! You can make them with less herbs if you prefer. I also like to fry them but baking might work too. 4 cups dried chickpeas, soaked overnight in twice as much water by volume so they have room to plump up and drained very well. 2 cups packed chopped parsley 2 cups packed chopped cilantro 12 cloves of garlic 2 medium onions, chopped 1 Tbls of salt, more to taste 1 tsp baking powder 1 Tbls ground cumin, more to taste 1 tsp of dried chili flakes, or about 1/2 tsp of cayenne, more if you like to taste the heat ground pepper to taste Put 1/4 of each ingredient into a food processor (steel blade) and grind in bursts so it keeps some texture. If you can just smush it together in your hand it's right. I dump each batch into a big bowl then mix them together. I refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before cooking. I fry them in olive oil. I prefer little patties but I know some people like balls. I make all of what I'm not cooking right then into patties and freeze them in one layer on a cookie sheet. When they're frozen hard you can put them into a bag or other freezer container and freeze them, then fry them straight from frozen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
