dinner, day 13:
leftover meatloaf & leftover vegetable, mushroom, & wild rice soup.
it was a long day & a lot of driving, & seeing as i was in no condition to go grocery shopping, cook, or clean, i was VERY happy i had some great tasting leftovers waiting for me in the fridge.
day 12.
breakfast: dorset cereals’ super cranberry, cherry & almond muesli w/ original almond breeze.
lunch: leftover braised vegetables w/ pork.
snack: whole wheat pitas & roasted garlic feta dip from whole foods market.
dinner: plum wine, garlic eggplant appetizer, spinach & tofu soup, garden salad w/ sesame dressing, & stir-fried wheat udon noodles w/ tofu & vegetables, @ liquid...
breakfast, day 11:
dorset cereals’ super cranberry, cherry & almond muesli w/ original almond breeze.
i wanted to use this post to give a shout out to two products i love. i knew i was going to be at my sister’s house without my own pantry full of organic foods, so i stopped by whole foods on the way down to purchase some backup breakfast & snacking foods. i really love cereals with lots of...
first, a weekend roundup.
day 10.
breakfast: whole grain cream of wheat made w/ vanilla almond breeze & topped w/ cinnamon & brown sugar.
it was supposed to be oatmeal, but yuck, & i’ve made breakfast couscous a lot lately. figured i’d mix it up. i am grateful for all these warm breakfasts lately, though.
lunch: leftover meatloaf & vegetable soup.
i’m gonna be on the road a lot the next few...
dinner, day 9: meatloaf & leftover vegetable soup.
i’m not gonna lie. i was definitely omnomnomredmeatdrool tonight. it’s weird, i don’t even eat that much red meat to begin with, but it seemed so exciting tonight after a week and a half of mostly vegetarian eating.
i did use organic grass-fed beef, though. i pureed some garlic, onion, spinach, & an egg in the food processor. i mixed that in a bowl w/ some ground beef &...
sigh...
so i thought i’d do the right thing & leave the rest of those evil cookies with my family in sofla.
but i missed them. they were sooooogood! and i eat so healthy all day, i just want a little treat at night… (especially this week of the month.)
so i just whipped up a half batch. i made them with whole wheat flour this time, so we’ll see how that comes out. at least this...
day 5
(yay, internets!)
breakfast: clementine & granola.
breakfast was supposed to be granola w/ yogurt & mixed berries, but not only is yogurt one of the few foods i dislike to eat (on its own), i had volunteering early that morning as well. so i had some coffee & a clementine before i left, & brought some granola to snack on while i was there.
lunch: leftover eggplant & chicken...
happy valentine's day!
first off, i want to say happy valentine’s day to all of my lovely followers, new & old!
also, i am still on my plan, despite the lack of posts. yesterday was a full day of volunteering & travel, & now i’m in sofla (south florida) & having internet problems at my mom’s house (i’m on my phone right now). we’re working on it, though, so hopefully i can...
dinner, day 3:
pecan-encrusted tofu with a rosemary & porcini cream sauce over garlic mashed potatoes, with steamed broccoli.
sounds good doesn’t it? bet you wish you could see a picture of it, don’t you? me, too.
unfortunately, there was a 40 minute wait at the top, so we asked for first available, which ended up being the bar side, which is VERY dimly lit. we’re talking candlelight....
first test.
i am heading to gainesville tonight for a friend’s art opening, so tonight will be the first time i dine out on this diet. i’ve decided that while i will mostly stick to the main food matters guidelines, tonight will also be be part treat.
for my snack today, i plan on going to mochi, one of my favorite dessert places, with my friend, michael (BAMC). they serve real, cultured, frozen...
breakfats day 3:
breakfast coucous with roasted vegetables.
i’m actually glad bittman enjoys a savory breakfast as much as i do. the breakfast burrito might take some getting used to, but this dish hit the spot. it was made using the leftover couscous & roasted vegetables from last night, & it ended up tasting like fancy home fries, with all the starchy roasted veggies & onion.
dessert, day 2:
kettle corn.
the dessert was supposed to be orange wedges, but i didn’t see that when i had oranges for breakfast, & i wanted something different. bittman loves his popcorn, so i thought i’d dress it up for dessert. i make this kettle corn often, & it is completely inhaled in this house every time i do.
i use a recipe i posted a long time ago that i’m too lazy to find....
