GoVanGogh Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Beautiful salad! I need to get back to following this thread. And watching my nutrition better. It has taken me forever to get back on my feet after my health fiasco in March, then DH was diagnosed with cancer. He has surgery next week and I need to pack a hospital bag of healthy foods for myself, fully stock pantry and fridge/freezer with healthy foods, etc. (Also planning to stock up on some awesome vegan chocolate!) One of DH’s siblings will be staying with us during this, so I need to figure out some easy basic meals. I would like to make some soups to freeze over the weekend. We aren’t sure the prognosis or treatment plan yet and won’t until the surgery. This has been very sobering and odd. DH has always been very healthy. For the past few years, we have been so focused on getting me healthy, while also making long term care plans for me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just SO unfair, after all you have been through.🙁 I hope his surgery goes well and the prognosis is excellent. Please keep us updated. Is your swollen gland all better now? I was just thinking of you the other day when I saw Hippie Food on my Kindle. 🙂 That's next up on my on my reading list, after I finish the T. Colin Campbell book I'm currently working on.

Really looking forward to it! Thank you. I am trying to be thankful for all the blessings in our life, but DH’s diagnosis really feels unfair, just too much. He wasn’t at high risk for this form of cancer so his family doctor initially didn’t even think that. She sent him for a Ct scan, thinking something else entirely. lt does - for us - drive home the issue of growing up in a farming community, with constant exposure to industrial chemical fertilizers and herbicides, that now both of us have diseases known to be caused by toxins. As much as we have tried to live “clean” adult lives, our bodies likely still carry that toxic load from our childhood. My swollen gland has cleared up, but I have been struggling with very low blood pressure ever since, most likely from the strong antibiotics I was on. The gland issue started in mid March. Just the past few days, I have not had any severe dips in bp. i hope you enjoy Hippie Foods. I loved it and found it very fascinating. I need to read more by Campbell. My DH is onboard. He has loved my wfpb meals, but didn’t eat that way when we dined out or when he needed to get/make his own food. thank you again. I have enjoyed following this thread so much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 Thursday - Breakfast - I had an early morning farrier appointment, so I had a walnut chocolate chip WellBean bar and an apple beforehand. Afterwards, I had my usual bowl of mixed greens, microgreens, and flowers, plus a breakfast bowl with black eyed peas, oats, spelt, barley, kiwi, banana, longans, lychees, sour cherries, fig, nectarine, goldenberries, blueberries, blackberries, pomegranate, lemon and orange zest, goji berries, mulberries, walnuts, flax, chia, hemp, sunflower & pumpkin seeds, soy milk. Lunch - Big salad with mixed greens and shredded Brussels sprouts, tomato, beets, radishes, edamame, pistachios, sesame seeds. I made Monkey & Me’s Yum Yum salad dressing for the first time - it’s cashew-based with miso, tomato paste, rice vinegar, etc. Really tasty. I made one minor change (sweetened with dates rather than maple syrup). Dinner - Black bean burger with pickles, red onion, and sauerkraut. A Hasselback potato (Shane & Simple recipe) and steamed asparagus and broccoli. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinner - I got some gorgeous squash blossoms from my greens grower and wasn’t sure what to do with them. Most of the recipes I’ve seen involve stuffing them with cheese and frying them, so I decided to do a healthy version of that. I stuffed them with hummus and chives and baked them for ten minutes - totally delicious! We also had cauliflower wings (Dr. Ayesha Sherzai’s recipe that we made in Neuro Academy) and cashew ranch with freshly picked parsley and dill. A steamed artichoke, too. Dessert - will be pumpkin pie banana nice cream. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be thinking of both of you! My MIL was the generation that smoked while pregnant. She is also a firm believer in homemade formula from canned milk and corn syrup. That is what she fed her kids and that is what she tried to get me to do. Thank you for mentioning Dr Fuhrman’s website. We watched his dvd series, which was excellent, and I remember much of the cancer one, because I have been following somewhat similar for my Parkinson’s, but this prompted me to go back and specifically look at his recommendations again. DH was suppose to have surgery this week to remove the tumor and first round of chemo but now he has Covid. We aren’t sure yet what the oncologist will want to do and are going in to the week in limbo. I did a huge grocery trip on Saturday to get multiples of pantry items, oatmeal, nuts, dried fruit, etc. I made two vegan bean soups today, with half going in to freezer in individual servings and half in fridge for easy meals. I used dried beans for both, omitted oil, etc. In the black bean one, I omitted sugar, used fresh corn and skipped the adobo and rice… We had that one for supper tonight and it was really good. https://dorastable.com/tomatillo-poblano-white-beans-in-the-instant-pot/ https://midwestfoodieblog.com/spicy-black-bean-soup-vegan/ I have been trying to reign in my eating, esp stress eating, by sticking to the basics. Oatmeal for breakfast. Hummus with carrots, cauliflower and bell pepper for lunch. Big salad for supper with homemade oil free dressing for supper. Today I made a vegan protein smoothie as midday snack. I am also trying to get back in to heavy workout schedule and I was starving an hour after lunch. I am always so inspired by everyone’s meals! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, that stinks that he has Covid on top of everything else. You did not need that added stress. Dh and I sometimes joke about how many IQ points we missed out on because of what all went on when our moms were pregnant. It's a little scary to think about. My mom was an alcoholic and his also drank as well as chain-smoked. We both were formula-fed with who knows what ingredients...this was the late 60s/early 70s. Best of luck this week. I wish we lived closer so I could bring you some meals! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 @GoVanGogh That's a lot of worry and stress with your poor dh. Good for you for getting all that healthy food put together.

73349 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 So far I've been meeting my goal of at least 15 plants per day. Now I'm tracking to see if I'm getting at least 30 a week, which I read supports a healthy gut microbiome. Last week I got more than 40. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoVanGogh Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I made a fabulous “three bean” salad. I harvested quite a few green beans yesterday, some yellow, some green. Lightly blanched them. Tossed with several types of peppers from the garden, red onion, kidney beans and lemon vinegar and apple cider vinegar, Italian herbs. It was yummy. Also had steamed zucchini from the garden and honeydew for dessert. breakfast and lunch were standards - oatmeal before my morning walk, hummus and veggies mid afternoon. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Weekend through yesterday: lots of veggies, some foraged mushrooms, black beans, eggs and greens. Smoked salmon instead of pork last night, I've kind of lost my taste for meat over the last week of being very busy. I'm avoiding nightshades like the plague and my hip bursitis is gone, thank goodness. I'm using cumin, garlic, black pepper, and lemon to flavor everything instead of spice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Saturday: Beginning of our anniversary weekend so health isn't necessarily our thing until Monday! 😁 Breakfast - Java Jive and scones Lunch - Salad with bacon dressing Snack - homemade pecan shortbread cookies and specialty tea Dinner - filet mignon, gruyere mashed potatoes, roasted green beans, crimini mushrooms in a cognac reduction, and homemade specialty lemonade laced weigh lemon vodka to make it slightly bubbly since we didn't have any champagne in the cupboard. So not exactly our normal attempt at eating healthier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Saturday Breakfast--low-sugar granola with df almond milk yogurt, also a banana Lunch--Not so healthy. Leftover fries. A bunless burger. Dh and I had a cupcake (mine obvs gf/df) to congratulate ourselves for surviving our overnight respite care assignment. (Truly nice little kids, but three unregulated foster kids are a handful.) Dinner--Roasted cauliflower with olive oil and southwest spices. Used that to make vegan tacos--corn tortillas, mango salsa (YUM), roasted cauli, homemade guacamole. Had an ear of corn on the side with EB butter. I first tried vegan tacos a couple years ago and I really love them. Snack--dark chocolate, tea (S) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
