Food: a variety of eats

As I transitioned to enjoy again the joy of cooking and eating new combos, I’ve been eating a more varied spread of food! 🙂

Breakfasts:

Almond milk, cherry (sooo sweet that I cannot eat more than a handful at the time) and a tortilla-egg mess

IMG_7619

I simply heat a tortilla, spread LC cheese, cracked two eggs (one each side) and top with ketchup.

Sliced peaches, homemade soy milk and radish pancakes

A “pudding-dessert” like combo of 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, 2 tbsp coconut flour, almond essence, 1/2 cup almond milk, topped with walnuts. Really tasty! 🙂

Cherry, chocolate almond milk and a protein cake. I used a different recipe this time:

  • 1 scoop of protein powder
  • 1/4 cup egg white
  • 2-3 tbsp almond milk
  • 1 tbsp flax meal
  • 1/2 mashed banana
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
Mix everything and microwave for 3 min.

It’s a very high protein and tasty but the texture is a bit too chewy, not as cakey like as my original protein cake.

Meals:

A soup made with winter melon, bamboo, black fungus, tomato and mushrooms. I love it so much that I’m cooking another batch right now! 😉

and store-bought kimchi (I had to wash it out 2-3 times to make it less spicy and salty)

IMG_7627

Grilled chicken with salad

IMG_7621

I like simply grilled chicken more than any other form.

IMG_7622

Salad and almost cheeseless pasta casserole

IMG_7645

Chopped salad made with mixed greens, cherry tomato, cucumber and mushrooms, dressing with olive oil, balsamic and mustard.

IMG_7648

The almost cheeseless casserole is delicious. I can’t wait to make more variation of it! 🙂

I’d say it was a good week of eats! Variety keeps nutrition all covered and more fun to eat as well! 🙂

Food: post food comma and avocado casserole

I felt terrible when I woke up the next day after being in food comma. I was sleep deprived and bloated :evil:. I didn’t want to eat anything until 10AM and when I finally did, all I wanted was strawberries. Glad that Whole Food is just a block away from home, I went there just to get it. Excited about eating a bowl of organic strawberries that costs me $5, but it tastes nothing! No sweet, no sour, nothing!!! 😦

few hours later… I made a veggie soup with celery, burdock root, onion, tomato, collard and chicken broth.

voila! a colorful soup, perfect as post food comma meal~

At night, I made a egg-tofu scramble with onions, asparagus and tahini. It was delicious~~~ definitely going to make it again!

Yesterday I made avocado casserole

IMG_2077.JPG

blend 1 large avocado, 1 cup of pumpkin, 1/4 cup nutritional yeast, juice of half lemon, garlic, mustard, S+P and 1/4 cup milk

IMG_2079.JPG

prepare the brown rice pasta and chop some steamed broccoli

IMG_2084.JPG

mix everything (added some chopped peppers to color the dish), top with parmesan and bake for 30 min at 400F.

It was soooo rich and filling! I’ve never tried mac and cheese :opss: but from what I’ve seen in the blog world, this casserole resembles it! 😉

and finally, my latest breakfast combo: toasted bread + avocado + friend egg
