Eos Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 B: broccoli and an egg L: a rice krispie-type treat - I kid you not. I'm trying to concoct a new emergency super-high glycemic rescue ball for dd so I boiled together some maple syrup and almond butter then coated some popped corn and popped rice cereal and scooped them into balls. They are pretty good! Two of them brought her up from 70 to 100 so they're in the ballpark of effective. I'm trying to use the almond butter to slow down the maple syrup a tiny bit. S: a homemade rosti and chicory salad. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to make some this week. I have a lot of tangerines right now. I made a green smoothie today using tangerine and grapefruit juice, with frozen mango and banana, along with a hefty amount of fresh spinach. It was so good. Actually reminded me of the Orange Julius, popular in the 1970s or 1980s, but healthier and not so sweet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Today we got up late and each of us wad on the run so we didn't get breakfast: At 10 am dear husband sacrificed beans to the Java witch 😁 and, after inhaling the brew, we opted for brunch. I made a big skillet meal. Lots of baby red potatoes diced and browned, red pepper, spinach, mushrooms, garlic, and green onion, four eggs scrambled in, and a sprinkle of parmesan. Very delicious. For supper I took some chicken broth that I needed to use up, and made it into a buttermilk.gravy which we ate on mashed potatoes with roasted broccoli as a side. We just had a Friday night movie night bowl of popcorn with vegan butter and parmesan sprinkles. Nice treat. We might each eat a small square of dark chocolate later. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Friday Breakfast--Slammed down a slice of ham and some cucumber on my way to the gym. Lunch--Eggs and Spanish rice with beans. Lunch was super early, so later I had some gf bread and EB butter and some tea (NS). Hit the spot on a raw, wet, cold day. Snack--Had some sweets from the gf bakery because I found myself in the neighborhood (nowhere near my home while dealing with errands and doctor visit). Well worth it and within reasonable limits. Dinner--Italian Wedding Soup and a salad. Added extra kale to the soup which brought it over the top. It was better tonight than the first day I made it. This recipe is definitely a keeper. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I ate some yogurt, granola and sour cherries, some scallops wrapped in bacon, and some rice and cilantro cabbage slaw. A thin slice of ganache brownie at about midnight in celebration! LOL--yes, indeed! I have found that there are tons of gluten free products--including at dedicated gf bakeries--that are just soooooooo sugary and stiff and weird textures. My son used to pick up gluten-free baked items for me from his dorm cafeteria--he was trying hard to do something nice for me, but what they baked there was absolutely awful. (I've never told him that, and I always ate what he gave me to affirm his thoughtfulness.) This particular bakery is my favorite one I have ever found, anywhere. What they make tastes like normal food (what a relief!) and it's not heavy with cloying sugar. (Obviously there IS sugar, but it's in the right proportion so that the other flavors dominate.) The other benefit is that they don't use any icky additives--it's a completely hippie, sustainable, all-natural kinda place and the ingredients are simple and recognizable. They're actually the ones who inspired me to keep trying to find good gluten free recipes to try at home--I knew if this bakery could do it, I could figure this out, too. 🙂 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) I had thought I'd post what I'd eat but I find I just don't have the time. I am reading here when I get a chance. I'm continuing to get my eating in line. I've brought my quantity down a bit (still working on this). I got plenty of water most days 5 or 6 out of 7. I've been using the daily dozen and am hitting at least 17 or 18 (out of 24) most days. I've done better with snacking this week. I ate a salad for lunch every day this week. I found a bunch of different varieties of salad mixes on sale so it made it really easy for me to just eat for a quick meal. I almost packed a sandwich with chips for an outing Friday but took the salad instead and was satisfied. I knew in the end if I took the sandwich with chips I wouldn't be full. I also know the more I eat healthy the less I have a desire for unhealthy things. Thank you ladies for the inspiration! I copied down some ideas for salads and have requested Fiber Fueled and its cookbook from my library. The grocery store had tofu on sale so I'm going to prep some kind of stir-fry with baked tofu for my lunches this week.

Kela Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Monday Breakfast: steel cut oatmeal with nutritella, cinnamon and almond milk. I learned about a trick that worked really well for me.

The next morning your oats are cooked perfectly and you just need to heat them up before eating.

Soror Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (hugs) Eos. I hope things ease up soon. Everyone here is on spring break this week so I should have some extra time. I'm going to try and track my food a bit. Things are still improving. I had a grain bowl at Panera while out yesterday (we were gone all day)- hold the dairy and meat. I got the chips with it (no gluten) but only ate maybe 1/2-1/3 of the bag. I skipped the frozen custard dh and the girls had some. Honestly, I didn't even want it. I need to experiment with some nice cream. I've got some bananas here and a Vitamix. I'm trying to get entirely off of dairy. I was doing well in January until I hit busyness, injury, and stress mid-way through the month. I did it for years at a time before but haven't been able to make it very long these days. today's plans: b: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries/ 1/2 c greek yogurt/ 1/4 c. homemade granola- nut and seed- reduced oil and sweetner/ gf rolled oats/ hemp seeds/ soy milk l: curried lentils w/ carrots, zucchini, red onion, and spinach over jasmine rice afternoon meal: salad- baked 'hash' (red cabbage, purple onion, carrot, and potato) w/ egg dinner: tacos- mom's homegrown beef w/ homemade seasoning, tostados, black beans and homemade pico and side salad w/ a watermelon vinagriette a small fruit salad in there somewhere for another couple servings of fruit. Yesterday I hit 21 out of 24 of the daily dozen checklist. I'd been lacking on the legume intake some I'm easing back into it. I have tofu to cook for this week but ended up with leftover lentil curry so I'm going through it first. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
