[mamameliaISback]

i know there are some threads like this lying around but i haven't seen one recently so i thought i'd start one up. state your food goals/ideal diet and what you are eating today? hopefully this will keep us on track..

i'll start with me:

current diet: modified paleo diet: beef (conventional, trimmed of all fat), chicken (free range), seafood, vegetables including potato and sweet potato, fruit, quinoa, white basmati rice, nuts, OJ, apple juice, some chocolate on occassion. coffee maybe once a month.

ideal diet: beef (pastured), chicken (free range and organic), seafood, seaweed, vegetables including potato and sweet potato, fruit (including 400-500g of mixed berries daily), quinoa or brown basmati rice 2-3x every week, nuts (raw, soaked), chicken and beef bone broths, liver (chicken and calves) and (beef) heart meat 2-3x weekly.
vitamin c supplementation - 10g daily.
NO OJ or apple juice, NO chocolate, NO sugar, NO coffee.

i'll be back later tonight to fill in what i've had today. what are your goals and what are you eating today?

Early Breakfast- Sprouted grain toast with grass fed butter and sesame, nettle, seaweed, dandelion, salt topped on it. We are loving this sesame herb salt.
Raw yogurt and local organic blueberries

Plans for the rest of the day. We will see if this really happens since things are really busy with a toddler and a newborn.

Later breaskfast (yes I eat twice in the morning)
Grilled egg, cheese, garlic, and tomato sandwich (sprouted bread, and the rest of the ingredients are local includinf the cheese) and cultured pickle.

Lunch
(leftovers from dinner last night) Yellow squash, zuccini (both from my garden), cashew, ginger, salmon stir fry, over soaked brown rice (cooked in bone broth, deep immune herbs an mushrooms, tumeric, and garlic)

Snacks are usually homemade larabar, apples, nuts, cheese, akmak crackers, etc

Dinner
Red lentil soup with bone broth, whatever local veggies I have around especially loads of kale, and miso on top. I may add chicken if dh want some meat with dinner.

bed time snack
Raw yogurt

We may also have a smoothie sometime today if we are hungry.
And I also have all my supplemnts, CLO, and nettles infusions too.

For food planning, I have to make more kefir, get the lentils soaking, grind some wheat and rye, start my sourdough bread around noon to have bread for tomorow mornings breakfast, perhps make some whole wheat blueberry muffins (dd keeps asking for some since we went berry picking yesterday)

Sure sounds like I eat alot, I do, but it is all full fat, and lots of it, and I can't keep the weight on.

Preface this by saying I don't think I'm making lunch today. I have twenty pounds of tomatoes and ten pounds of peaches to can today, and it'll take me hours, so I think I'm sending DH and the kiddos out for lunch, and I'll just snack on something from the fridge while I work. That's not our usual routine.

Can't you do this thread on a day when I'm not canning all day? So I have something interesting to say.

We eat mostly vegetables and fruit this time of year. So it's summer squash, and eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, raspberries, peaches, etc. We don't really eat any grains at all this time of year, and less animal products than we do in the winter and spring. We get almost all our food locally, and so we eat very seasonally.

Breakfast-- homemade yogurt with raspberries on top-- the raspberries are a little past their prime, since I picked them several days ago, so I'll probably heat them into a mash and use it as a topping

If they want snacks, there's a nice piece of local cheddar in the fridge, and some hard-boiled eggs (the eggs are my neighbor's), and some leftover ratatouille.

Dinner-- Dunno. I have some chicken (organic, but not local), and a dozen ears of local corn. What I do with them depends on how much time I have; there's carrots in the garden, and a lot of potatoes in the basement, and a ton of other veggies. Some sort of tagine, maybe? But that heats up the kitchen too much.

Dunno.

Nothing stellar today- eggs and bacon for breakfast chocolate grain free black bean- zuccini muffins and 1 corn muffin(all corn meal- I try to keep that to my only grain due to intolerances and I seem to tolerate corn due to ancestry)

lunch??

supper- aorezean spiced beef stew- conventional meat I ran out of the good stuff and am having a hard time obtaining anything else- local or otherwise and I need the meat- thankfully deer season is not too long away.

Ooh, how do you make these? I know it's probably a stupid question but all the recipes I have require wheat flour too. Is it just a case of subbing extra cornmeal or do you need to make other alterations too?

Thanks!

Breakfast was before farm pickup (cupboard was bare!) so it was light: cup of yogurt and 2 slices bacon

Snack (after farm pick-up): Big glass of kefir, slice of watermelon, big beef jerky stick.

Lunch: Still not sure, trying to psyche myself up to eat the liverwurst I just got from US Wellness Meats. Fermented beets likely on the side.

Dinner: Clam Chowder and a "fat" salad (bacon, blue cheese, homemade approximation of ranch with lettuce, tomato and cucumber)

Supplement with CLO/BO, magnesium (MamaCalm), and SambuGuard
