What did you eat today?

[Crankin]

12 mile, slower ride at 5:15 AM. ate a handful of walnuts before
B: egg whites with red pepper, kale, and 2 turkey breakfast sausages, strawberries, coffee
L: salad with dark chicken meat, green beans, chick peas, fig vinegar, cup of butternut squash soup
S: slice of some new cheese DH bought; it's from Spain, not Machengo
D: roasted chicken; I had a breast and a bit of another piece, roasted Brussel sprouts, salad with goat cheese, dried cranberries, olive oil, basalmic vinegar, glass of red wine

[Crankin]

B: 2 scrambled eggs, 2 slices bacon, one slice spelt toast, blueberries, coffee
We went to do a 40 mile on the south coast of MA/RI. Last year we helped lead it, but this year we were supposed to be participants only. Didn't end up that way when our friend who was leading realized he had 30 riders of greatly varying abilities, so we volunteered to lead the "fast" group. DH went a little nuts in his interpretation of fast, but after 16 miles, I reeled him in.
L: had a cranberry-walnut chicken salad wrap, with a small bag of baked potato chips. I only eat chips on longer rides. Had some fruity health type drink with no sugar, that I put in my bottle after lunch.
S: after the ride, we drove to the Sakonnet Vinyards, where we had wine and DH and I shared a cheese/cracker/walnuts and fruit plate. Perfect to hold us over for the 60 mile drive home.
D: I made Shushuska, which is basically an Israeli version of huevos rancheros. Very good.
I had eggs for 2 meals 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.

[Owlie]

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!

[kajero]

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
1 hr strength training, 45 min on the trainer
D: homemade red curry with chicken over veggies

[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.

[Catrin]

Chorizo/ mixed baby greens frittata....baked casserole...whatever you call it! My dinner tonight and breakfast for a good part of the week. The picture is a bit blurry, but is the first time I've used my new kitchen

Can I have the recipe? It does sound better than snicker bars.

That looks delicious. Do the eggs get weird if you refrigerate them for few days? (And I second kajero's call for a recipe: Sprouts (think Whole Foods but less pretentious) has a sale on sausage this week...)

[Crankin]

B: 2 buttermilk waffles with walnuts and dried cranberries, bowl of blueberries, strawberries, oranges, coffee
L: left over green veggie-orzo soup
took a 3 mile hike, with a climb at the end
S: slice of Basque cheese
D: went out for DH's birthday. Had a beet/arugula salad and duck with pineapples, on sticky rice. I ate half the duck and a couple of forkfuls of the rice. Shared an apple crisp with DH for dessert.

It is

The eggs are fine - this is often my go-to breakfast and I get a good number of meals/snacks from this. The recipe, such as it is, is about as simple as it gets. I just use whatever I happen to have so it is always different, but this is how I made it last night:

Pre-heat oven to 375

1 lb bulk chorizo sausage or some other ground protein
12 eggs
3 cups mixed baby greens (really any green leafy veggie works here, also great if you replace some of the greens with shredded cabbage or nappa cabbage) If using straight ground pork rather than chorizo, parsley is quite good as part of the greens.
dried basil (depending on choice of greens)
salt and pepper to taste

Depending on how lean the meat is, I will often add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or bacon fat - but it isn't totally necessary.

Cook/drain sausage
Crack eggs in huge bowl, mix in veggies and spices (I don't measure spices, so use.
When well mixed add protein
Pour in parchment paper lined large baking dish
Bake for 25-30 minutes
Allow to sit for 5 minutes

Enjoy!

Catrin - that looks good! So you don't pre-brown the sausage? That would certainly be a lot easier than the way I do it!

Today
B: sauteed spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms topped with an egg, black coffee, canteloupe
L: paleo chili over spinach
S: Thai curry butternut squash soup
D: baked chicken breasts, beets n' greens n' bacon, sauteed green beans, mashed sweet potatoes

See step 1: cook/drain sausage/protein It doesn't take long of course.

Ok, I must be blind. I totally skipped right over that step when I read it! Duh!
