What I Ate Wednesday: Daily Foodie Eats – June 13

Posted on June 20, 2012 by Katherine

I haven’t done this in a few weeks, but I remembered to snap a picture of everything I ate on Wednesday, June 13

Yep. They are just crappy iPhone photos. But they will do! ha!

Breakfast: Coffee, with tomatoes, leftover steak and guacamole

Lunch: Mini chorizo meatloaf muffins with guacamole, salad with tomato, olives and homemade dressing (mayo, cumin and lime)

Snack: Lara Bar Balls.

Dinner: Burger patties, portobello mushrooms and microgreens salad. The burgers were ground pork mixed with sausage seasoning and some chopped chard that needed to be eaten.

Daily Foodie Eats: What I ate Wednesday (May 12, 2012)

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Katherine

Here’s my Daily Foodie Eats from Saturday, May 12. Seems to be easier to document on the weekends cause I don’t haul my camera around with me to work every day!

Breakfast: microgreens with mushroom/almond crusted chicken (will post recipe soon!) and microplane grated kerrygold cheddar. So good.

And a coffee. Or two.

Snack while the kiddo at lunch. Celery with almond butter.

Lunch Iced coffee with cream, salad with more chicken, this time topped with olive/feta tapenade

Dinner Chicken club salad with bacon, tomato, red onion, mayo. Yeah… I did eat chicken on salad for all three meals. So what? Bite me. I had lots of it cooked and was feeling lazy. Meh.

Snack Sliced apple with more almond butter (mmmmm this is my favourite snack lately!) and a piece of cheese.

This day was also during the 21 Day Sugar Detox. Today, as I post this, we’re on day 15/21. Not too shabby! I won’t lie, I’ve had a few packets of stevia in my iced coffee but all in all we’re still plowing ahead! I am most looking forward to some sweet potato fries when this is all done! And a Larabar. Mmm.

Thinking about doing a Whole30 in June, but including dairy. Cause I love me some dairy. So more of a Whole-ish30.

Daily Foodie Eats: What I Ate Wednesday – May 6

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Katherine

I know I said I can’t post what I eat every day, but I can do it some days! In the spirit of What I Ate Wednesday, here’s what I ate on Sunday, May 6

Breakfast: Coffee, eggs, and three merguez sausages from the farmers market. I also picked up a carton of farm fresh eggs, and I’ve gotta say… I didn’t notice much difference between the farm eggs and the Omega 3 eggs from Costco that I normally buy. I cooked one of each here to do a taste comparison and mehhh, what’s the hype? (I know, blasphemy, right?). Those little sausages were yummo but very fatty. One of them squirted grease right onto my new Lululemon hoodie. Thankfully I was able to get it out. But I digress…

Farm egg on the left, Costco egg on the right.

Lunch: Sauteed Swiss Chard with Persian Adwiya seasoning.

And Chorizo mini meatloaves with guacamole. Random, yes.

Snack: Iced coffee and beef jerky.

Dinner: Damn Fine Chicken from nomnompaleo.com with roasted broccoli and heirloom carrots.

Snack: A handful of unsalted nuts, and a hard boiled egg. Had to check if they were done, you know…

And so ends the one week of Daily Foodie Eats. I can’t possibly blog everything I eat every single day! Nah, I don’t want to bore you. You need to save your energy to read the great recipes! Maybe I’ll turn it into a once a week thing, like What I ate Wednesday.

So to finish off the week here:

Breakfast: Coffee… was a busy morning. Had to bring our feline friends to the vet. In good health but one of them is morbidly obese. Poor kitty! She needs to go on a diet!

Lunch: Eggs and Breakfast sausage (So one of the local grocery stores has in-store made breakfast sausage. I’d never seen it before so we tried it today and it was very lean and tasty!)

Second Lunch/snack: Asian slaw and taste testing of a new recipe coming up (Hint: Caribbean flavours, very very spicy, but this version is gluten-free!)

Snack: Starbucks: Grande sugar free vanilla whole milk extra hot Americano Misto. And more brie cheese than one should probably eat in a day…

Dinner: Raspberry and cream cheese stuffed french toast with sausage and maple syrup… just kidding. Sorta. Yes, I did make this but it was for the husband, not me!

I had a smoothie instead (hemp hearts, spinach, raspberries, banana, almond milk), and a breakfast sausage stolen from the pan… haha.

Snack: Some more nibbling while putzing around in the kitchen, and half a bag of Spicy Plantain chips. It was very much an emotional eating evening. You see, I migrated my blog from wordpress.com over to a self-hosted server, and got a domain name and it was kind of stressful on me. Whine whine. I haven’t done any web work in quite a while and things kept going wrong, but 4 hours later here we are! Full speed ahead. ha!

Breakfast: Coffee and a stuffed mushroom cap

Lunch: Gyros meatballs on a salad of tomato, red onion and spinach with some chopped veggies on the side

Snack: a mason jar of carrot-ginger soup (recipe coming!).. then I ate a nice big chunk of brie cheese when I arrived home. I was having a bad day. I needed to eat my feelings, ok?

Dinner: Now this is what I call “Paleo junk food”… A giant chicken shawarma salad. Man, it was good. Crispy charred chicken bits, salad, garlic sauce. Sure it’s probably full of nasty canola oils, but a better choice than pizza, no?

Snack: “ice cream” aka banana, almond butter and cocoa in the food processor. yummy.

Breakfast: Same old… coffee and cream. Do you seriously want another picture of my mug? Didn’t think so.

Lunch: More mango/shrimp/avocado/salsa salad. See yesterday’s post for a pic. More veggies and babaganoush. Again, see yesterday’s post. I’m like that disappointment you feel when you realize your favourite sitcom is a rerun. Sorry. ha!

Dinner: Spinach salad with hard boiled egg, red onion, tomato and… no bacon. Funny thing about that bacon… I arrived home a few minutes early tonight so I stopped at home to pop the bacon in the oven before I walked around the corner to get the kiddo from daycare. As I was prepping dinner after we returned home he kept saying “bacon! bacon! bacon mommy!” Wait, how do you know I’m cooking bacon? Do you seriously recognize the smell? Dear god, you ARE my child! When I took the 8 slices of bacon out of the oven and crumbled them into bits to cool on the paper towel he kept asking for them. Then grabbing them off the counter and loading up his bowl…. Sigh. I give up. Just eat the bacon, child. He ate five entire slices (for those of you who are good at math… I ate the other three. ha!) So no bacon for this salad. We also had bowls of soup from the freezer (sausage, tomato, spinach, bone broth with some parmesan sprinkled on top). Good times.

MOAR BACON, MOMMY!!!!!!! (His expression is hilarious)

Snack: I taste tested a sausage stuffed portobello mushroom… Recipe to come!

Daily Foodie Eats: 17/04/12

Breakfast: Coffee and cream. The usual, you know.

Lunch: Homemade turkey meatballs (ground turkey, coconut flour, egg, pesto, chopped spinach, and sundried tomato… and yes I did eat them cold. YUM). I took a photo with my blackberry but it was too terrible to share. Embarrassing! Egg salad in a curry Pure Wrap. These are amazing raw coconut wraps that are a great sandwich wrapper and bread replacement. I first saw these on nomnompaleo.com and went on a mission for a Canadian distributor and found UpayaNaturals.com. Now these puppies don’t come cheap at $5.59 for a four pack (and that’s on sale!), but tell me this – have you ever dropped way too much coin for a fresh bakery croissant? Yes, that’s what I thought… Too rich for lunch every day, but a nice treat. I forgot to take a photo of it until I got to the very last bite. Whoops. I sincerely apologize for this horrible photo!

Also had some chopped cucumbers, red pepper and Smoky Babaganoush, and some Sunshine Sauce. I’m undecided on the sunshine sauce, although I altered the recipe to use almond butter instead of sunbutter because it’s all I had. I think I will play with it some more the next time I make it.

Snack: Piece of cold chicken from the fridge and a Larabar. I needed to get some damned food into me before we went to Costco. Costco on an empty stomach = bad.

Dinner: Shrimp, mango, avocado and salsa. Yummy.
