What Did You Eat And Drink Last?

[Mee]

Oysters, seedlip garden non alcoholic gin and tonic

Delicious and indulgent yet .... totally innocent!

 

[LuckiLee]

Cheetos and coke.

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

Marinated (with g/f vegan worcestershire sauce/adzuki bean miso tamari/balsamic vinegar/garlic powder/basil) roasted portobella mushroom caps filled with chopped orange bell pepper and red onion, baked red potatoes, and steamed fordhook lima beans.

Soaking tofu cubes in the leftover marinade overnight to roast tomorrow. Will do some sort of salad/buddha bowl creation to add them to.

The hubby reported that he thinks those applesauce/date/raisin cookies are by far the best out of all the ones we've been making, so far, @berlinda . Looks like I'll be making a batch or two to freeze soon. Wish I could send some samples your way. Hope you have some tasty fun experimenting! :)

 

[Teasel]

Bless you @Tornadic Thoughts I'm sure I'd love that and don't doubt they're delicious. I've saved the recipe. :)
What I'm wanting to come up with is something that won't spike my blood sugar. First experiment last night is very much an experiment, but I'll keep trying.

 

[LuckiLee]

Ham and cheese sammich, plain potato chips and a MT. Dew

 

[Friday]

Espresso & Gyoza

(I WANT PiriPiri Chicken <insert wild ravening beastie face here> LMAO It’s kind of an insane craving. I’ll admit. Not as insane as jell-o & onions, or sauerkraut & avocado -read, I’m not knocked up- but OMFG. PirPiri chicken!)

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

Every bite is pretty much an ongoing experiment, for sure, @berlinda . So many bites tend to bite us back in more ways than one. lol It's been an almost 6 year long learning experiment in my kitchen.

If I didn't love to cook/experiment so much and didn't have a husband who doesn't mind doing dishes and pitching in on occasion, I probably would have already checked out of this existence, to be honest.

It only took me 45ish years to figure out I needed to be much more mindful, but only after being drop-kicked into necessity via the emergency room and such. (I don't recommend that path....lol)

Fork therapy is what I call it now. Trying to unfork my decades long self-created hell-th circumstances each and every day, one drink and one bite at a time. lol

Spoke to a new coffee shop owner a few towns over from us today who requested and wrote down that applesauce cookie recipe to add to his menu. Nice! Maybe I won't have to fix them all the time myself now. :)

Break-fast today was a lot of water, then a smoothie made with frozen burro bananas/carob powder/reishi and chaga mushroom powder/two big handfuls of baby greens/sunflower seed butter/flax milk/chia seeds. Mmmm...the chocolate/banana milkshake taste-alike.

Threw together a big garden salad with chickpeas and maple mustard dressing for lunch. Supper's gonna be a buddha bowl concoction with toasted quinoa/greens/red onion/cucumber/tomatoes/marinated roasted tofu/red bell peppers/chickpeas/sauerkraut/lemon, garlic, tahini dressing/etc.

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

Chunky marinara with added tofurkey Italian sausages served over roasted spaghetti squash with vegan g/f garlic bread.

Currently sipping on a nice warm cup of tulsi (holy basil) tea.

For sure! Tis a real problem for me too.

It only took me 45ish years to figure out I needed to be much more mindful, but only after being drop-kicked into necessity via the emergency room and such. (I don't recommend that path....lol)

Unfortunately I seem to be extraordinarily stubborn in learning too. Feel some shame about that!

Last had, prawn stir fry, bud

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

I feel ya', @berlinda . I eventually shifted the shame to, "It's a damn shame I wasn't taught any better/healthier.", rather than absorbing it all myself. But I also realize the ones teaching me were being fed the same things and had never tried anything different themselves, so it's up to me to keep experimenting and teaching myself now. I still trip over those thoughts some days.

Food has become very much an addiction to many, as much of it is specifically designed to be. It's hard to change lanes, especially after having been convinced for decades by parents/schools/industries/marketing that certain things are a requirement and being assured the alphabet agencies wouldn't approve them to sell some of the chemical shit storms if it would harm us. HA!

It's also something many simply don't have the time or energy to even think about beyond the most convenient and affordable choices. Unfortunately, food-like substance industries don't seem to support actually nurturing our bodies as much as it does creating things you need a chemistry degree to understand the ingredient lists.

Then we have the energetic aspects of what is allowed to happen in the factory farming scene that is hidden from plain sight, which is who supplies most major grocery stores and restaurants. Learning that aspect was a major motivator for me to look deeper, although doing so was one of the most difficult things I've faced and it still haunts me.

Fork therapy can be a hell of a process and we each have to find our own path in our own time. Some enter into it gently, some never bother, and some get catapulted. You're already paying more attention to certain aspects regarding your health and are actively trying different things, and that right there is anything but shameful. Cheers and best wishes for much wellness!

Something with eggs & veggies & a lot of guy's initial bitching about my lack of pans // You had more the last time I was here. / That was like a million break ins and my ragefit over old ago. / ... and pots too? We're gifting you new pots. / ... I was trying out gardening and the plants didn't breathe it out! //

(like literally was more hilarious, signed 'Break ins, I boomed' / Gardened. Plant kaput. but he got the tease.')

... in my defense, I was trying to resuscitate poor plantsies for years.

Nomnomnom food & Bliss. Utter bliss at not having to cook or go get food. :happy:

 

[LuckiLee]

Last night was chicken vegetable tortellini soup (from my freezer stash) rolls and milk. Brownie for dessert.

A few Captain and Cokes.

Breakfast today is pancakes, sausage patties and oj. Mt. Dew.

Lol Ronin. ?
