Faith-manor Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Sunday/Today I made a yummy spinach and red pepper gruyere quiche for brunch since we slept in. We had specialty java, mocha, with chocolate Barton bourbon cream. Then for the rest of the day we ate on leftovers from last night's supper and the quiche. It has been very relaxing. Mashed potatoes, green beans, steak bites, and some salad. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 Sunday - Breakfast - Watercress with mixed greens and microgreens. Breakfast bowl with buckeye beans, oats, spelt, barley, pear, blueberries, blackberries, pomegranate, kiwi, passion fruit, dragon fruit, cherries, fig, apricot, pluot, lemon and orange zest, walnuts, flax, chia, hemp, sunflower & pumpkin seeds, soy milk. Lunch - Two squash blossoms stuffed with black bean hummus and chives (I think I forgot to say we had these with dinner last night). Big salad with mixed greens, butternut squash, tomato, mushrooms, radishes, baby turnips & kohlrabi, eggplant, beets, edamame, spring onions, almonds, nigella, WFPB Greek vinaigrette. Orange slices. Dinner - I found two cans of hearts of palm in the pantry and used them to make vegan "crab" cakes that were so good. I loosely based them on Monkey & Me's recipe, but changed it a little (Old Bay seasoning makes my tastebuds shrivel - so much salt! - so I subbed a salt-free blend from Local Spicery). Served them with tartar sauce made from cashew mayo, chopped dill pickles, and fresh dill. Then I also had a head of cauliflower in the fridge that needed using up, so I made Monkey & Me's Creamy Cauliflower Bean Soup (with borlotti and butter beans) and served it over the last of the wild rice from last night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 We have been so busy gardening and getting the sailboat ready, that I haven't been reporting daily. But here is an update: A typical day is slay java gods, eat a boiled egg or small amount of oatmeal, maybe a granola bar on their go, then have salads at lunch and we are trying a variety of different salad ideas to keep from being bored, and then we toss fish or large portabellas, or a big chicken thigh to share onto the grill along with veggies or I do a sheet pan of mixed veggies all herbed up into the oven, whichever way works best. Tonight is Mark's birthday meal, and I have some salmon for the grill, veggie and mushroom shishkabobs, and risotto planned. We will splurge and have some ice cream after dinner. Mostly it has been very healthy. We just are outside so much that I have not gotten back into the habit of posting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 Mid-month musings: My goal for the rest of the month can be summed up in two words: Seaweed and sauerkraut! I keep intending to include more sea veggies and fermented foods in my diet, and I have plenty of both on hand, but somehow I always forget. So my goal is to get in the habit of including one or both in my daily salads. I am very excited to be starting another Cornell certificate program to add on to the Plant Based Nutrition certificate I earned earlier this year. This one is called Food & Sustainability, and the description is as follows: “Food & Sustainability ties together several of the most critical issues facing us today: the environmental impacts of food production, the importance of food justice and accessibility, the complexity of international food systems, and most importantly, the positive changes we can make every day with our food choices. Topics include how to achieve a sustainable lifestyle, understanding and mitigating food waste, the impact of global food production on the environment, new and sustainable approaches to agriculture, community food systems and activism, sustainable business practices, and much more.” And in other exciting news (if you are a bean nerd like me), I finally got into the Rancho Gordo Bean Club after waiting a looonnngg time. My first package is on the way!🫘 Thursday - Breakfast - Watercress with mixed greens, microgreens, and flowers. Breakfast bowl with French lentils, oats, spelt, barley, papaya, dragon fruit, pomegranate, fig, nectarine, blueberries, elderberries, chokeberries, barberries, goji berries, goldenberries, mulberries, kiwi, longans, orange, passion fruit, mango, lemon zest, walnuts, flax, chia, hemp, sunflower & pumpkin seeds, soy milk. Lunch - Big salad with mixed greens, sweet potato, tomato, quinoa, chives, carrot, bell pepper, peanuts, baby turnips, black bean hummus for dressing. Apple and pear slices and blackberries. Dinner - Baked egg rolls that I slapped together with whatever we had - garlic, ginger, spring onions, scallions, shiitakes, carrot, green and red cabbage, collard greens, tofu. I made Dr. Fuhrman’s sesame peanut dressing for dipping sauce. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 We have been earing very light. It got hot out, and now we do not want heavy meals. Lots of baked potatoes, salads, small fish fillets, lots of fresh veggies as well as grilled. Today we ate the first broccoli harvest from our garden. It was so sweet, so much better than I buy in the supermarket! I have had a crazy, whirlwind day, and it is warm in the house. We don't want to turn the air on if we can help it. So I might treat myself too one of the lemonade popsicles I made. My daughter made some low sugar lemonade for our grandsons, and blended it with fresh picked blueberries from the Alabama yard, then froze it for popsicles. Apparently the grandboys thought this was DA BOMB. Tomorrow I am picking up a flat of strawberries from my favorite farm family. I am going to freeze some, and dehydrate some. I really don't know how to make a dinner entre that revolved around strawberries, but I feel like I should figure that out, and it shouldn't be oatmeal for dinner! Does polenta and strawberries count? 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) Wicked crazy day. I subsisted mostly on coffee which isn't exactly healthy. I had some celery and a V-8 juice at some point midday, a handful of pretzels at 5 pm, and have finally dropped into the chair. I am truly hungry. My body is barking at me, my stomach sounds like it really wants my attention. I am too tired to do anything about it, and do not want to move. Not my best day for sure.

Eos Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Eating through covid has been sort of hilarious: I can only taste salt. I've literally only been eating lentils, seaweed, and greens from the garden as filler for the salty seaweed-lentil roll-ups I've been eating. Until last night when I ate Thanksgiving. Ds and ddil plus ddil's parents were here for Father's Day and were supposed to have been here for dd's high school graduation (which has now been postponed and they all went home, sigh.) But to the point of food: every year at Thanksgiving I buy two turkeys from our farmer, eat one and put one in the freezer. So last week BC (Before Covid) I thawed the second turkey, my bad. Fast forward to yesterday: I had dh drop off the turkey, some spuds, a roasting pan, broccoli, a loaf of bread and some sage, and the last of our foraged cranberries from the freezer in town. I roasted the turkey and made stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, roasted broccoli with lemon zest, cranberry sauce, and a salad of baby lettuces and kale from the garden, piled it all onto a platter and ds picked it back up. Family assured me it all tasted exactly right, which is a miracle since I couldn't taste any of it - cooking auto-pilot for the win! Dd (supposed to be graduating this Saturday) now has covid so she and I ate Thanksgiving dinner minus the pies here together, minus the flavor for me, and chalked it up in the "anything for a weird life" category. Today I will eat salty leftovers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Today (Saturday) Two scrambled eggs each with red pepper, potatoes, spinach lots and lots of coffee Tuna melts and salads Homemade gnudi in parmesan sauce with peas and mushrooms, and roast asparagus We spent part of the evening at MIL's house. She served strawberries, pound cake, and whipped cream. I ate a couple of strawberries without the other stuff. The gnudi was great. I have never made that before. Those fresh peas with it were wonderful. I will definitely make it again. I have never made gnocchi, so that is on my bucket list now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
