What did you eat today?

[Crankin]

This one was home made, from the Paleo cookbook. Basically, mint, walnuts, olive oil, and lemon juice. I used a smaller amount than the recipe and we still had some left over.

Sunday

B: bacon and eggs with veggies scrambled in, black coffee, melon
L: mango sausages, apple with almond butter, coconut milk drink with chai spices in it
S: half a peach
D: salmon with hazelnut butter, garlic butter green beans, leftover butternut squash puree, 3 baked chicken wings, banana

I was an eating machine at dinner! I spent the entire day standing or walking and since I'm back to wearing the boot, I think I burned a lot more calories than normal. Plus, I was exhausted!

Yesterday: Rest day

. Good price per pound but they were in 5 pound bags - a bit much for one person.

Hey Catrin don't know much about your store, but I just repackage the cherries into a smaller bag and then only pay for the poundage.

Yesterday: Rest day

Kitchen was almost bare...
B: 2 egg whites + 1 whole egg sandwich on Ezekial bread, skim, coffee
S: banana
L: egg white wrap on whole wheat tortilla and skim milk - I refuse to grocery shop on an empty stomach
S: 2 tablespoons Blue Bell Southern Blackberry Cobbler ice cream
D: homemade spinach pasta salad with LOTS of baby spinach, small amount of whole wheat organic penne pasta, tomatoes, garlic, red onion, Greek dressing, smoked anoduille chicken sausage, 1 Fat Tire beer

Cherry soup? Interesting idea! I had to resist the lovely cherries at the store. Good price per pound but they were in 5 pound bags - a bit much for one person.

I eat as many as I can, because I love cherries and I live alone, then take the ones left at the bottom of the bag and cook them down with a bit of almond extract, sugar (amount depends on how sweet the cherries were),a bit of lemon juice, some water to keep them from burning to the pan, and some cornstarch. (I maybe had 15 cherries in the last batch I made, so I didn't even bother to pit them and just fished the pits out as the fruits fell apart.) Instant sauce for ice cream or frozen yogurt. I imagine it would be good on Greek yogurt with some toasted almonds, but I haven't tried it yet.

Or I just pit them and freeze them for future use. Last time I made a cherry crisp out of them, but smoothies would be good too. (I don't own a cherry pitter, so I just used a paring knife and fingernails. The kitchen looked like I'd killed someone, but I had a lovely big bag of frozen cherries.)

Monday

B: sausage and sweet potato hash, melon, black coffee
S: banana and a handful of mixed raw nuts
L: tuna and guacamole
D: burgers topped with guacamole, sweet potato oven fries, herbal tea

I had to eat the banana and nuts because I had to run an emergency errand at lunch and wouldn't get to eat until really late. It was not one of my better days - look at that gaping whole where veggies should be!!!
