What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

Yesterday:

B: Fresh side, eggs scrambled with veggies, black coffee with a bit of 100% cacoa (no sugar)
1 hour group training session followed by a protein shake
L: Pulled pork over wilted greens, banana
D: Loving the pulled pork so much that I had more of it - this time with some baked sweet potato and brocolli. Strawberries and blueberries for dessert.

I REALLY like the pork roast recipe - it is almost like crack!

I love pulled pork. I'll have to try this recipe. (I normally use shoulder, and I think it'll work. I'll just have to cut it up so that I can suitably brown it.)

B: cereal, 1% milk, 1 banana, coffee
Snack: 1 small cup of canned peaches
L: 1 chicken thigh, noodles with parmesan, green beans
D: fettucini pasta, fresh tomato sauce, with sauteed red onion, lots of garlic, like 8 cloves, and then quick cook the diced tomatoes (red and yellow) just to warm them, serve with parmesan reggiano on top, small salad, 1 glass red wine (I cooked some crumbled italian sausage for hubby to put over his pasta cause he wanted meat). I just love, love, love this pasta and it is soooo simple.

B: 2 egg omelette with cheddar and chicken breast, avocado, an orange, 2 chicken-apple sausages, 2 cups of green tea
L: salad with 6 oz. of tuna in oil, red peppers, avocado, lettuce with fig vinegar, an apple
26.5 mile windy and moderately hilly ride
S: nuts, chocolate, cranberries
D: turkey burger on a portobella mushroom with tomato and onions, sautéed sweet potato, side salad with lettuce and grape tomatoes, balsamic vinaigrette, 2 squares dark chocolate
I have to have blood work done tomorrow AM, so no more food tonight. Just knowing that is making me want to eat!

[Catrin]

Crankin - are you making the fig vinegar or buying it? I am curious about it.

Today:

B: usual fresh side, eggs, veggies, coffee with 100% cacoa
training session followed by protein shake - small banana when I got to the office
L: pulled pork with baked squash
S: some raisins and hazelnuts
D: 2 chicken-feta-spinach sausages, kale chips, last of the baked squash, 3 squares 88% dark chocolate

[Crankin]

Buying it. While I like to cook, I am not that ambitious! A new olive oil/vinegar store opened up in town and while it's pricey, it's cheaper than ordering it from Spain, which I had been doing after my trip in 2010. I also have chocolate infused vinegar.
Back from blood work; having to drive my DH's SUV was more traumatic than the blood work (my car is in for service). Had a very good breakfast as we are going to go on a 40 mile ride today. It's school vacation week here, so my schedule has been quite different, with more time for riding.

[Crankin]

B: glass of almond milk (8 oz), egg whites scrambled with 2 slices Black Forest ham, one corn tortilla, half a tomato
S: before ride, which didn't start until noon; slice of Eekial bread with soy nut butter, 2 dried apricots
L: at mile 24 of a 39 mile ride; bowl of white bean and kale soup with a side garden salad
S: after ride (which was hilly), more almond milk, nuts, cranberries, chocolate
D: 2 grilled chicken thighs marinated in light coconut milk and red chili paste, green pepper and onion stir fried in the left over marinade, with about 1.5 oz. of whole wheat soba noodles, glass of red wine

[Catrin]

Today:

B: chicken sausage, eggs, coffee with 100% cacoa
group training session (strength day), followed by protein shake with banana
L: more pulled pork, kale and other veggies
S: small banana
D: baked salmon, sauteed kale, 2 squares dark chocolate

HAD to break in the lovely new food processor that came in today with a small batch of hazelnut oil mayo I really like it, more parts but my hands are MUCH happier, easier/less painful to use than my old Cuisinart! Also like the choices of two different size bowls to use.

[spokewench]
