What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

Crankin - that Israeli egg dish sounds interesting!

My food was terrible today, but it was moving day and I wasn't about to cook:

B: fresh side, roast chicken, banana, coffee. Healthiest meal of the day
moving activities
L: Jimmy Johns lettuce wrap ham and cheese, small bag chip
more moving and then unpacking
S: protein shake with milk
More unpacking
D:???? Yogurt mixed with a pit of whey protein, blueberries. 1 beer

No where near enough food today, back to normal tomorrow.

Eh. You have an excuse. You're moving.

My diet has been absolutely terrible for the last month. How terrible, I won't say, except that there were days that the only thing I'd have until I got home in the evening was a Snickers bar, maybe coffee to go with it.

I've actually gone grocery shopping this week (still need to pop over to the other store for a few things), so I'll be able to cook! Yay!

Oh dear, Owlie

I think I do worse than you. I have might have a Snickers bit size bar, with four other bite size pieces along with it to finish the "meal" off. I don't drink coffee, though, which I is probably healthier than the MIO I drink.
And then I follow up the whole thing up with a half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Well, at least the bread is whole grain.

Saturday
B: eggs with veggies, bacon, black coffee
L: left over crockpot spinach and meatballs
Did my 12 mile run.
D: dinner out - steelhead trout, sauteed veggies, about 1/3 cup mashed potatoes
S: 1/2 of a HUGE peach

Sunday
B: sauteed spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms topped with an egg, black coffee
S: more coffee and some sweet potato chews (I had to make sure they were good!)
L: chicken tortilla-less soup

[Catrin]

Today:

B: eggs scrambled with greens, coffee
L: cheese, celery, brocolli, other veggies (coffee hour at church)
several hours on the last cleaning of the old apartment
S: Banana/Egg/Almond butter "muffin" cup
pottering around new apartment getting things in order, hanging stuff, etc. long slow effort
D: Too tired to cook much - planning on making a chorizo sausage/greens baked egg casserole. I suspect one beer will be part of things once I slow down enough to sit down to drink it.

I had other things planned for dinner but that requires shopping. THAT will just have to wait until tomorrow morning! 2 days of vacation left.

Today B- cornflakes with skim milk, dollop of low fat yogurt, homemade plum-blueberry compote and fresh blueberries, tea with milk

Lunch- Middleastern flatbread with zaatar spice, small pistachio phyllo pastry, water at Middleastern bakery. We did a windy 41 km. bike ride with grocery shopping along the way.
Snack: Saskatoonberry scone with coffee.

Dinner- elk marinated in soy sauce, maple syrup, ginger root, garlic, onion, celeriac mash with sourcream, fresh herbs; stir fried shanghai choy with onions, fortified red wine (which tasted like port with blackberry notes), tea with milk.

Elk? Was it tasty?

Elk? Was it tasty?

I suspect it had to be deer/venison. The cut we had was low fat more on chewy side. But dearie did a great job of pan-searing. Alberta raises bison, deer (of which some maybe wild) and sells a lot more it compared to other areas of Canada. It's because of our climate, feeding areas and ability to buy /have more acreage of ranchland in the prairies.

I actually have not bought any pork nor chicken for home to cook in ...past several years. Otherwise I buy seafood. We only eat meat 3-4 times per month.

Today:

B: eggs scrambled with spinach, fresh side, coffee

S: small banana, 1 tsp almond butter
D: This will be 1/4th of a baked acorn squash stuffed with meat and spices, small salad

I am doing some serious cooking for the week - really enjoying the cooler temps and being back in an apartment that extends across the entire floor - which means I have windows open in in front and back so I've a nice amount of fresh air ventilation going on - can't do this when there are only windows on one wall!
