Faith-manor Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Today we hit the ground running. Lethal coffee, and hashbrowns. Grilled portabellas and roast veggies outside on the actual grill. It was so nice out, that we wanted to spark it up and eat outdoors. Dinner - refried beans and corn dip, salads. We are going to watch a movie and have a small amount of popcorn. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eos Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Sunday and Monday were similar: salade Niçoise leftovers, an egg and rye for breakfast. Last night I made a delicious roast chicken recipe with rosemary-garlic marinade and roasted brussels sprouts plus more salad. The only thing wrong with this picture is that I have eaten all the lovely baby potatoes with the salad and my sciatica is reacting very badly to the nightshades. Like, hello, did you think you were going to get away with no pain for these? and the cherry tomatoes?? No more nightshades for me today. In better news, I found all the parts to my juicer and will buy some ingredients today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith-manor Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Sunday: Casual, in hurried assassination of java. Small bowl oatmeal. Lunch - hummus and veggies. We ate light because we were working to beat the rain storm trying to get as much done as we could on the new raised beds. Dinner - Mark's absolutely gourmet homemade mushroom and pepper pizza. Snack - since it was my birthday, we each had a small bowl of ice cream with a few dark chocolate chips on top. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinner - Dh and I are enjoying our favorite groove of having a salad or artichoke with some kind of bean/veggie soup most nights of the week. I always feel great eating a light, early dinner, and it makes it easy to maintain our weights. Tonight we had a steamed artichoke with Monkey & Me’s delicious Lemony Chickpea Rice Soup. I used wild rice and added shiitake mushrooms. Dessert - Chocolate hazelnut banana nice cream. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of getting crispy, it stayed kind of mushy on the coating. I had to temp the chicken to even see if it was safe to eat, Tasted ok though the texture was weird. Sweet potato fries were yummy. I also made a cold shredded carrot salad with slivered almonds which was yummy but the almonds looked like maggots in there!

My dh happily eats what I cook him or occasionally cooks but we never collaborate. Thanks! He is a trooper. When we got married, I could not cook, and I mean that in the strongest sense of LACKING THE ABILITY! He could cook well. He was both stunned and amused by my level of ignorance since my mom and grandmother were decent cooks. LOL, this is what happens when 3 year olds become obsessed with the piano and grow into little kids and teens who spend all time not in school, practicing their instrument and then performing, and then going away to college on scholarship for that instrument. Some of the life skills get lost! 35 years later, he had to ask me about certain cooking techniques! So funny. I truly hated cooking until about a year ago...always feeding so many people, and two kids with dietary restrictions or specifics that are far different from our own needs, plus my wheat allergy. It was a really, depressing chore. But, when all the boys moved out for good, feeding just the two of us became breezy, and we try all kinds of new things, new ways of prepping and cooking. I spend a lot of time watching Beat Bobby Flay because not only is the show fun, but his flavor palette is so similar to my own, and so I have come up with all kinds of entrees and sides that I love and find exciting that I spent my whole life missing out on because motherhood and budget dictated grocery shopping and cooking. Mark is a foodie. He has literally never met a food he didn't like (except the dreadful things I tried to make in those first years of our marriage), and that makes it easy. He had no food restrictions or allergies. Now we are having fun with it. I also do not have the demanding rocket mentoring schedule to work around. We work with university teams now, and do not have to meet with them so often. We do not chaperone, we do not have to feed a bunch of teenagers while traveling. It is a lot of pressure off of us. Even when we travel for the university team, I plan for us only. Those young adults fend for themselves, and have no expectations of being "mommied". Back when we had 8 teens per team, I dealt with multiple food allergies, food sensitivities, health issues, and had to plan all the meals, and submit those plans to the 4H office to show I was accommodating everyone's medical needs. I freaking HATED thinking about and planning for food. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One pizza had tomato based sauce with Local Spicery’s pepperoni spice mix, and the other was topped with Dr. Fuhrman’s WFPB pesto recipe. The recipe calls for greens and nuts and you can mix and match whatever kinds you like. I used walnuts with kale, parsley, and basil. It turned out delicious and I’ll be making it again. It would be great over pasta, grains, or veggies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Friday: I ate very light. Some scrambled eggs with veggies and usual coffee serial murdering spree, but nothing else until dinner when I arrived at the apartment of my two youngest sons. They then treated me to a huge bowl of homemade chili. This momma is very proud of how much cooking they are doing. Saturday: on the road to Alabama. Not exactly easy to eat healthy when you forget the packed lunch and snacks you made. 😜😡😱 So breakfast was nothing but coffee, like serious coffee, think "The Visigoths Sack Rome after drinking WAY too much coffee". Lunch I grabbed a salad from Wendys. Dinner, Dd had broccoli stir fry waiting with some fingers orange chicken all GF. I may have eaten more chicken than would be ideal. Exhausted. Going to bed, and hopefully dreaming of vegetables in the form of a massive salad because after so much riding in the car and not drinking enough water, I need to tackle the plant kingdom tomorrow beginning with some oats. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) Sunday Horror of horrors. Son in law and daughter who has clearly lost her mind, were out of java beans to sacrifice to the Goddess, me. Needless to say, it was a rough morning. I managed to feed the younglings on toast and eggs. Lunch - N and C were playing outside having a lovely time so I made a yummy charceuterie board of sourdough bread and dill butter (which they loved), carrot sticks, celery sticks, peanut butter crackers, sliced cheddar cheese, grapes, strawberries, and dried apricots. They grazed for hours on that. I made a big rainbow salad, and had some veggie soup with it. Dinner - grilled chicken breast, baked potatoes, savory polenta, fire roasted broccoli and bell pepper. Dd did most of the cooking while I entertained little T. No snacks for me. It was good to get all the vegetables in. Son in law wisely ran to town and bought coffee beans for tomorrow morning knowing that if day two of Marmee's head is melting off her shoulders might not be a happy time for anyone.

Harriet Vane Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Just a quick check in. We’re vacationing. I’m pleased to say virtually no in-between meals snacking or junk. Meals have been healthy but sometimes we’ve eaten too much because the food is incredible. I have had sorbet a handful of times but other than that my desserts are fruit (either fresh or on one occasion, stewed). We’re getting so much exercise due to walking everywhere. Back to real life next week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today: fruit/ greek yogurt nf/ homemade muesli white beans w/ greens/ rosemary/ carrots- soup + gf bread family is having fettucine alfredo w/ chicken--- I'm still trying to decide I don't wan to do all that dairy and I have to make separate noodles anyway snack: smoothie at some point with flax and greens; piece of dark chocolate 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Monday - made oatmeal for the clan. It isn't my thing, but I ate some anyway. It was topped with dried cranberries, strawberries, and blueberries. I decimated the Isle of Coffee. Lunch - we made homemade French fries, and served roast Brussels sprouts, a boiled egg each, sliced pineapple, and gave the littles some cheddar cheese plus glasses of almond milk. I drank a V-8 and had a bunch of celery. Afternoon - we took them strawberry picking. They picked four gallons - or more importantly they helped Dd and I who did a LOT of the picking. 😁 They had fun, and as soon as we paid for them, they easily ate 20 strawberries a piece, and I announced I was not going to be on bathroom duty tomorrow should any little human have trouble from this! I ate a couple, but not enough to even be a serving. Dinner - there was leftover chicken for the younglings, and they had some roasted carrots, rice with beans, and oh yes they did, more strawberries. 😂 I ate a baked potato with black beans, the small amount of leftover polenta, and some spinach salad with red and yellow pepper, salsa, shallots. Tomorrow I need to rise early and make tortillas. I want to serve spinach quesadillas for lunch since the spinach really needs to get used up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 We went strawberry picking too. I only bought a gallon. Food didn't quite go as planned yesterday. I didn't get soup made as I didn't realize I was out of several things and by that time I just decided to eat some leftover stew (primarily veggies). I stopped by the store yesterday and got what I needed for soup. Yesterday I made the veggie broth and this morning I cooked the beans in the IP. b: lots of fresh strawberries w/ wild blueberries (frozen)/ homemade gf muesli/ nf greek yogurt l: minestrone d: chicken w/ salad snacks: green vegan protein smoothie and larabar I'm leaving after lunch to visit my parents and then the girls have TKD testing so I won't be home until 7-7:30.

Lunch - Big salad with radish greens, pea tendrils, beets, tofu, tomato, mushrooms, carrot, almonds, sesame seeds, cashew hemp Caesar dressing. Dinner - I made Monkey & Me’s minestrone soup in the crockpot and it didn’t turn out very good. No fault of the recipe - it was the Banza chickpea pasta I used. Not my favorite brand, but I had a box of it in the pantry and wanted to use it up. Learned my lesson that Banza does NOT do well in the crockpot - it basically dissolved, so the texture of the soup turned out to be very thick. Blah. I might try to thin out the leftover soup with some extra broth. Dessert - Vanilla hazelnut banana nice cream with cacao nib sprinkles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I won't be posting for a few days everyone. Our grandbaby, A, was born stillborn last night. We are all reeling, and trying to figure out all the ways we need to support her parents. The next few days are going to be a blur, and more about getting through than worrying about an eating plan. I hope everyone else is having a much better life at the moment. Lots of love to you, my friends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
