always curious what people's like. staple meals and regular meals are

like the meals you regularly cook a few times in a month, for yourself or your family as well

bc for me it's like

bacon sandwiches. basic.

garlic bread

baked feta with peppers & tomatoes, oregano, olive oil, a bit of lemon juice

the lidl potato gratin with peppers, tomatoes, and spinach mixed in, again normally with olive oil and some cheese

roast chicken with roasted potatoes and root vegetables, normally carrots and parsnips

pork souvlakia, chunks of usually belly pork or chop on kebab sticks and oven grilled with or without chunks of pepper and tomato

dolmades, vine leaves stuffed with stewed rice

chicken risotto made with chicken stock on a base of butter with spring onions and bacon to toast the rice with

pasta with chicken pieces with a tomato-based sauce w more cheese and vegetables

a "greek salad" with some modifications - chunks of cucumber, tomato, red and yellow pepper, spinach leaves, red onion or spring onions, garlic granules, and then olive oil and feta chunks

parchment pastry scrolls, a spread of pastry smeared with tomato purée or similar chutney, cheese, bacon, vegetables, or mushrooms, and then cut into discs and baked

homemade burgers with beef or lamb mince, tiny chopped onions, egg, honey as a binding agent, and then fried hopefully to eat with slices of cheddar or leerdammer, bacon, and pickles/cornichons

i made a kouneli stifado a while back (whole rabbit cut into chunks, slow cooked with potatoes and root vegetables, onions, red wine, stock, etc) that i want to do more regularly bc a whole rabbit is a fiver and it feeds a LOT of people

then obvs like. various oven cooked things i don't modify, like prawn tempura or frozen calamari, etc

because i've moved and haven't set up my rice cooker or got my short grain rice again, and bc i don't have a new deep fat fryer yet, i'm not cooking like, my fresh cut chips, or maki rolls and onigiri, or a meal i'd regularly do of just like. fried eggs on rice and stuff

i used to make lasagnes more regularly and i'd like to go back to that, esp bc like... i love making latkes and once we have a nice wide frying pan it will be nice to do that more regularly, and my big thing atm is that i want to learn to cook with some new ingredients

i want to learn to do more and more interesting stuff with coconut and pineapple, i want to do more like. kormas and other diff curries, i want more green vegetables, esp asparagus and broccoli

i want to cook more with different fish and sea food bc i know i desperately need the oil for my fucked up joints and brain, i want to break more breads and savoury things, esp garlic and tearaway breads

esp bc like. my body's capacity for red meat is fucking terrible lmao, i want more fibre and less heavy protein from red meat at once so i don't just utterly eviscerate my guts lmao

A complete, very long list of all GBoard-combinable emojis because I can't find one anywhere.

Ok so for those who haven't seen my stuff (or have only seen my Bionicle posts), I sometimes emoji mashup redraws, with the recent fourth one using GBoard-based fusions. Frustratingly, there's no actual list of fusion-compatible emojis, so I'll attempt to compile them, in a list below the "Read More" thing:

Green/▢ = compatible with fusion Blue/△ = only works with certain emojis Red/◯ = not compatible with fusion

Also, since other people's terms for specific emojis might not match up with mine, I recommend using CTRL+F and then doing this to find the specific emoji you're looking for. This list is in the order presented in GBoard's Emoji menu. Some of them will be generic unicode symbols, I don't know how to change that, sorry for the inconvenience. Also, I won't aknowledge multi-category Emoji.

Description: chef!au; you can tell a good chef by how he makes his grilled cheese.

for @captainscanadian​;; the cbc 1k writing challenge 

just a taste masterlist

“May I have the… king burger and a side of the Parmesan truffle fries please?” This food truck was your favorite in the city, it just so happened to be parked right outside of your job, and definitely served up some spicy creole flavors. It had gumbo and jambalaya by the cup, a burger that shouldn’t work as an ode to kings bread but it did and fresh beignets straight from the fryer if you had a sweet tooth. 

“Would you like something to drink?” The men who worked it were just a plus, the two of them both terribly handsome, the one currently taking your order was smooth. Impossibly smooth. The gap in his front teeth was incredibly endearing, but the wedding band on his finger and the sweet tone he usually used with you led to you believe his marriage was a happy one. 

“We’ve got the Big Shot Pineapple back in,” A sweaty bottle placed on the ledge, “I know that’s your favorite.” And you did love some pineapple soda, but you’d been trying to eat healthier, and ignoring the fact that you were ordering a burger and fries you fought yourself for a moment on whether or not this soda would be too much. 

“Stop pressuring her, Sam.” The man behind him joked, “She’ll get the soda if she wants it.” A smirk on his lips. Your heart skipped a beat. It was no secret to your coworker behind you, Nat, that you had a crush on Bucky Barnes. His strong jaw and bright blue eyes, that tight bun on the back of his head and his fucking biceps. Those strong arms that were wrapped in colorful tattoos. You’d sat near the food truck every Friday since it’d started parking here two months ago and watched him work. 

The kind smile he’d give people, the funny remarks as he cooked their food. The sweat dripping down his face as he lifted the lid off the pot of jambalaya to spoon out a portion. You’d drool over whatever you’d ordered that day watching him work. 

“You should ask him out,” Nat popped a fry into her mouth. “He likes you.” You rolled your eyes, taking a sip of the cheap pineapple soda that was just so fucking good. 

“He’s nice to me because I tip well,” You wiped your fingers on a napkin, watching him powder beignets and hand them to a sweet little boy, icing sugar still on his fingers. You sighed, looking down at your burger. “Maybe once I lose some weight.” The burger was half eaten as you stare at it with despair. You had been doing so well today, but the sign on the side of the truck said they were only making it the week of Mardi Gras so they wouldn’t have it next week so you HAD TO get it. 

It was a very good reason. 

“What’s wrong with you right now?” The red headed goddess asked, being someone who hadn’t been a pound overweight her entire life. You rolled your eyes, “No seriously, you’re the same person whether you’re overweight or not. And I can tell when someone likes you and he likes you.” 

“I know I’m the same person,” You took another sip of soda, “I’m just….” How do you say it? “Guys have to be into my body type, I guess. I can’t just go out and approach anyone for a date.” You popped a fry in your mouth, “They have to like fat girls.” 

“I hate when you say that.” Nat shook her head.

“Say what?” You licked the parmesan truffle flavoring off your finger. 

“Fat.” You laughed, rolling your eyes.

“Doesn’t mean I’m ugly.” You took a glance over at the subject of the conversation, Sam must have said something funny to him because he was laughing. That head thrown back, grab your belly laugh. Fuck he was so hot. His eyes met yours across the pavilion. And he winked. He fucking winked. 

“Just go ask him.” Nat stole another fry. “He always gives you extra fries, he practically pays for your lunch,” There was always something they ‘forgot’ to charge you for after they swiped your card. 

“No big deal.” Sam would say, he would elbow his buddy, “It’s on the house.” It happened more often than would be normal. 

“I’m just saying, instead of thirsting over him, at least go give him your number.” Maybe next week. This week you’d spilled some juice from your burger all over your blouse. 

“Next week.” You agreed, “New week I’ll give him my number.” 

You’d been on track with your diet all week, the salads, protein smoothies, healthy snacks. That way, you reasoned, on Friday when the ‘Connect Nola’ food truck parked on the pavillion you’d be able to treat yourself with something good. 

And something better than good. 

He was wearing a black t-shirt today, his hair in a high bun on his head, strands framing his face. A clear plastic poked out of the back of his shirt on what looked like fresh ink he’d gotten since last time you’d seen him. The special was a boneless fried chicken breast and red pepper jam on a biscuit. 

“That’s what you should get.” Bucky said from his place over the flat top. Two fryers working hard next to him. “It’s my recipe, so it’s good.” 

“As opposed to mine?” Sam smacked his friend, scooting himself around him to pluck the pineapple soda from the cooler. Bucky laughed. 

“I’ve got some fried green tomatoes for you too if you want them.” He winked. Your mouth watered. 

“You’re going to kill me.” You sighed, “Of course I want them.” Bucky smirked, 

“Good cause they’re almost done.” He was stirring some kind of sauce in a metal bowl that after he placed the four thick slices of fried tomato in the paper container he poured over top. The two paper containers were placed on the counter, pineapple soda sweating next to them. You pulled out your card, flipping it between your fingers when Bucky stepped in front of Sam to hand you your food. 

“How much do I owe you?” Your voice was breathy, heart racing at the sight of him so close. He leaned over the side, crossing his arms on the counter. 

“Dinner, tonight maybe?” A charming smile, almost bashful. Your heart skipped a beat. 

“I was going to ask you out.” You laughed. His smile widened. 

“Well now you don’t have to… so?” His number had already been scribbled on the take out container next to him. “I’ll see you later.” Nat elbowed you to respond. 

“Yeah… yes!” You took the warm containers from him, his fingers brushing yours. “Yes, later. Okay.” You bumped into Nat as you stepped backwards. “Bye.” 

He smirked in response, “Bye.” 

“I have nothing to wear.” You groaned over the phone. Nat laughed from the other side, 

“What about that black dress with the flowers?” The one you’d bought from the flea market in the summer. “Wear that.” 

The doorbell rang and your heart dropped. “Fuck, he’s here. Hold on.” You quickly shifted through your closet finding the dress she was talking about. “Just a minute!” You called to the man behind the door. “I’m so fucking disorganized.” You said to your friend on the phone, “Where are those heels?” 

“The black ones with the thick strap? They’re under your bed. You kicked them off when we got back from brunch last week. I’m sure.” She was right. The dress was soon slipped over your head, heels buckled. “Use protection, be safe, and if you need anything call me.” Your face flushed with the thought. 

“Hey,” You panted, opening the door. Bucky stood on the other side, nice slacks and a dark blue button down. “Sorry, I was just…” You gestured behind yourself, catching your breath. 

“It’s okay,” He laughed, “I uhh…” He raised a brown paper bag he’d been holding. “I figured I’d cook you dinner, if that’s okay?” So you put on the shoes for nothing, he laughed, “I’m sorry, but yeah, you put on the shoes for nothing.” 

“Shit,” You covered your face with your hand, not realizing you’d said it out loud, “Sorry.”

“You’re fine,” Bucky lowered the bag, “Can I come in?” You stepped to the side,

“Of course, I’m sorry.” Being an adult you’ve taken a lot of time perfecting your living space enough that you didn’t need to go out if you didn’t want to. You were fairly proud of your home, the apartment you’d spent the last couple years in slowly collecting items to finally make it yours. From the soft velvety throw down to the little knick knacks that didn’t make it too minimalistic. 

“You’ve got a really nice place here,” He put the bag down on the kitchen counter, he pulled out a bottle of wine and what looked like the ingredients to, “Grilled cheese,” He shrugged sheepishly, “You can always tell a good chef by his grilled cheese. I hope you don’t mind.” 

“Not at all,” You dug through the silverware drawer, pulling out the wine key. “I love grilled cheese.” Two stemless glasses joined you on the counter as you poured the red wine, Bucky opening two different cabinets before finding your pans. 

“We’ve got to get you better pans than this.” He joked, waving your cheap Walmart nonstick pan in the air. 

“That pan does exactly what I need it to do,” You laughed, “Sit and gather dust.” He rolled his eyes, quickly rinsing the pan out and drying it. You took a sip of your wine as he started. 

“Have you always wanted to be a chef?” You asked, stealing a piece of cheese off the cutting board. It was a sharp cheese, tangy on your tongue. He cut another slice. Three different cheeses he had for this sandwich. Along with sun dried tomatoes and a slab of uncut bacon. 

“My Ma was a really good cook,” He begins, “When I was a kid I would always be in the kitchen with her, cooking and baking.” A thick bar of chocolate, eggs and other baking ingredients had been set off to the side for later. A dessert he was going to make that he said would be a surprise. 

“Cooking has always been love for me. It’s a good way to bring people together and a good way to show someone you love them.” His fingers stopped slicing the cheese, looking up at you through his lashes he backtracks, “Not that I love you, not that I don’t care about you because I care about you, but I don’t love you, but not like—“

“I get it.” You laughed, taking another sip of wine, the red in his cheeks in a full flush. He took a steady sip of wine, 

“Have you always wanted to work for Stark?” The cheese was set aside, the thick crust bread sliced, he lay the slab of bacon on the cutting board, working your knife that he’d very expertly sharpened, down the slab, cutting thick slices. 

“Not always,” You mused, “I kind of just fell into this job. My roommate from college, Natasha, had done an internship there during our last year and I originally wanted to go to graduate school, but I haven’t quite decided if I wanted to stick with my major or not, so she helped me get a job just doing clerical work and overtime I’ve just worked my way up a bit. Now I run my own department. So I guess I’m not going anywhere.” He nodded, laying the thick pieces of bacon on a baking sheet, the oven already preheated. 

“What did you want to do?” He asked, placing the bacon in the oven. You sighed, 

“It’s dumb,” He turned to you with an incredulous look, 

“Try me.” He started making a batter for the dessert. 

“I wanted to be a writer.” You shrugged, “Like books.” You gestured to the small library you’d collected for yourself. Stacks of books in your living room next to the shelves of books on your walls. “I have drafts of things, but nothing serious.” 

“You should pursue that.” He poured batter into two medium size ramekins he’d brought himself, tapping the bottom against the counter. “You seem like you’d be an amazing writer.”

You scoffed, rolling your eyes. “Not good enough.” To tell the truth you’d sent out a couple chapters to some publishers and had nothing but rejection letters, you’d all but given up on it. 

He told you more about his family, his sisters, how his parents were still very much in love. “Sam and I with our buddy Steve had all enlisted at the same time.” He flipped the grilled cheese revealing a perfectly crisped brown bread. “Steve decided to have a military career so he’s working in DC right now, Sam and I decided to own our own restaurant, right now we’re going the food truck thing until we have enough to buy our spot in the city, then hopefully we will have the truck and the home store.” 

The grilled cheese was fragrant, the three cheeses melted together on a spread of the sun dried tomatoes, thick cut bacon in between. He took his chefs knife and cut the sandwiches down the middle, plating them with ease. “This is so fucking good.” You moaned, the first bite, the crunch, the cheese, the tang from the tomatoes, the bacon perfectly cooked and melty in the middle. Bucky smirked at you from across the table, finishing off his first half. 

“I’m honestly surprised you asked me out.” You popped a piece of crust that had fallen onto the side of the plate. Bucky looked at you confused. 

“Why do you say that?” Fuck it was the wine, making you feel a little shitty. You were a little drunk to be fair. 

“You’re just…. You.” You gestured towards him, “So fit and handsome and like… I don’t know.” Bucky shook his head. 

“You’re gorgeous,” He scoffed, “You’re literally the whole reason we even started coming to the pavilion every week. I don’t want to hear that shit.” You sat back in your chair watching him take another sip of his wine, stunned. “Guys really fuck me up because someone probably treated you like you needed to be a certain way to be loved and it’s just not true. I’m attracted to you, you’re kind and funny and smart.” He wiped his fingers on his napkin, “Doesn’t matter to me either way.” Your weight. Didn’t matter. “I like you.” 

His eyes were intense and sent a shiver down your spine. “I’m sorry.” You said quietly, “I didn’t mean to—”

“You didn’t.” His hand gently grasped yours, pulling it up to his lips. “I just wanted you to know I like you, no matter what.” Okay. Okay. He leaned in, shifting in his chair to lay an arm over the back of yours, taking the hand he held and placing it on his cheek he softly pressed his lips to yours. 

Your lips parted and met again. And again. And the timer went off on the counter. His phone shrill and loud letting you know dessert was done. “Hold please.” He whispered against your lips. You felt cold when he removed himself from you, puttering around in the kitchen you heard the stove being turned off and he returned a moment later. “Careful they’re hot.” Two perfect chocolate molten cakes, icing sugar and white chocolate sauce drizzled on top. 

“Thank you for tonight.” The two of you stood in front of your open door, his shoes had been slipped back on, hair no longer in a messy bun it hung loose around his shoulders. You were sure it had been your fingers that had worked it loose, but you couldn’t be sure. 

The hot and intense make-out session you’d just had on your couch, tongues mixing and tasting of chocolate. Heavy breaths and soft moans melding together, and just the appropriate amount of wandering hands. 

“No,” He said, twirling a strand of your hair around his fingers, “Thank you.” A breath away he pressed his lips to yours again, slowly. Savoring it. “Breakfast tomorrow?” He breathed, resting his forehead against yours in your doorway. You grinned, running a hand down his arm, 

“Same place?” He grinned before taking your lips once more,

“It’s a date.”

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.” Mark Twain

Distro vaccines thru schools, register students, re-welcome parents, herd immunity, micromanaging middlers, stop over exaggerating, or your state has been open for 12 months with better results and elder cautions. /rant. T-cells have immunological memory capacity. /rant

W1/4 Definitely have to do cardio, found some cool balance videos. Why doesn’t anyone say Frinight? Some lite sessions I’ve dropped or pulled a plate, some heavy sessions I’ve added one. Seems okay, focusing on contraction the past weeks has improved. Earache my eye.

W2/4 Running on elliptical 60 revolutions activates quads and core, but has altered my diet drastically. Drive low, in starting to improve cardio by doing any, legs on catchup and mind checked out, abs pissed, goal up it by 10 to 100 then minutes. Speed saves quads but ads hunger, should get a good take to it eventually, or sweat trying.

W3/4 The goals and risks of fad/crash diets in a race to lose weight, catch and release. The dangers of certain goals are physical and mentally exhausting, risk vs reward. The process of actions gives experience to aid decision and familiarity with old fears as new instinct takes you to new challenges much harder than you thought you could do. You don’t have to do it alone, but you don’t have to attack yourself either, nerves. New train, new nerve.

W4/4 Stimulants in the slow-twitch larger muscles causes increased signaling and response time, albeit somewhat artificially or induced, it can also be interpreted as additional sensitivity, the difference b/w working out or just sweating, as muscle is built with resistance, adverse weight, contrapose isometrics, and to some extent the flex of posing muscles and concentric tension, example being glutes are strong but exhaust, a runner trades size for endurance, but with stimulants in regards to muscle they exhaust before muscle memory is trained, leaving a shitty workout and an addiction to caffeine. I’m no expert, and advise against the gas station stims at least, and from the cold can walk the coffee line with the patience of winter people. A difference, it was.

Fielding to Eketahuna

Saturday, February 22nd, 2020

I had a major mosquito issue at 3 in the morning. I left the window open to let in some cool air and there are no screens in New Zealand. I woke to rain showers and this pushed all the mosquitoes inside. I spent the next hour hunting and killing them with my cellphone flashlight. I killed 12 in all.

I woke at 6:30am and started getting ready for my ride. I had a good breakfast of yogurt and fruit followed by a bowl of cereal and then some toast. I rolled out at 9am in a light drizzle.

I stopped at a small cafe for a latte after which I headed toward Bunnythorpe and into the big city of Palmerston North. The city was easy to get through because of the great bike trails along the river.

The road between Palmerston North and Pahiatua had little shoulder and a lot of cars and was the biggest climb of the day.

I stopped at a bakery in Pahiatua and had a chicken salad sandwich with lots of veggies and a custard tart. After I was done I rode toward Eketahuna. There were no cars and the road was excellent.

After arriving in Eketahuna I found the campground and set up my tent and site. I took a nice warm shower and then rode back into town for dinner. I had a chicken burger with an egg and pineapple slice with fries and 2 beers.

After dinner, I stopped by a 4 square and picked up an orange and giant chocolate bar. As I write this at 9:20pm there is a large group of women drumming very loudly and chanting at the campsite. I guess I'm wearing earplugs tonight.

With the past few years’ tourism boom turning the sleepy town of San Juan, La Union into a bustling surf community, it was only a matter of time before more and more people are flocking to San Juan over long weekends because of its cool hipster vibe and proximity to Manila. San Juan has been gaining popularity in recent years, especially with the temporary closure of Boracay. You can see this surge in popularity from all the establishments popping up in the area, and these aren’t your typical provincial eateries either. Like Flotsam and Jetsam, many of these establishments are trendy, design-driven concepts that would probably fare just as well in Manila as they would here. 

I remember going to La Union thrice last year. It has been growing with new and exciting restaurants, food stalls, coffee shops, and bars opened to cater to the growing number of weekend visitors and local patrons, but the laid back feeling that I always go back to will never change – a beer bottle on my right hand while watching the waves crash into the beach. I will never get tired of this view.

Clean Beach is a seaside coffee shop of the new complex in Urbiz Garden Bed & Breakfast, and is serving single-origin coffee that is locally sourced (Cocotos Estate in Mt. Apo, Davao del Sur) and roasted (YKW Roasters of EDSA Beverage Design Group).

You can try their Espresso or Pour Over, and get P10 off any cup of coffee if you bring your own tumbler or mug. If you don’t have one and would like your coffee to-go, you can buy or borrow a reusable bamboo cup. To borrow, leave a deposit in the form of your keys, your phone (think of it as free storage space while you swim or surf!), or a hundred bucks. Not a coffee fan? Clean Beach also carries draft beer from Engkanto Brewery and fresh, additive-free fruit juices that are best enjoyed with the Kaya Toast with Soft-Boiled Eggs , Fried Chicken Sandwich, or Ohana Burger (my favorite), a cheesy beef patty with a slice of pineapple. If you want a heavy meal, they also offer pasta, salad, and bagnet! 

From the group behind Beach Hub, the co-working space on the second floor of El Union, comes a new coastal commune that focuses on “curated food options and start-ups that are environmentally conscious, community-centered, and design-forward.” Aside from El Union, Makai Bowls, and Great Gamble, GNWPTSVD is home to wine bar Artek Wine Yacht, craft beer taproom Curious Creatures, Asian smokehouse Papa Bear, “baddest beach bird” Sabong Fried Chicken, and tattoo shop 55 Tinta La Union, most of which are on soft launch. Opening in November 2017 arekilawin bar Layag, Japanese place Izakaya Chuchu, and chocolate shop Tigre y Oliva. Just look for El Union (which now has a pop-up booth in Burgos Circle), and GNWPTSVD shouldn’t be far behind.

As far as I know, people don’t usually eat fried chicken for breakfast (or drink beer at 10AM), but rules fly out the window when you’re on vacation. As their name suggests, Sabong La Union offers different types of fried chicken, from Korean soy chicken to chicken glazed with honey and bagoong (fermented shrimp paste). Behold the Elyu Original (PHP 180, plain rice) served with handcut fries and their own homemade banana ketchup. Bottled banana ketchup is too sweet for me but Sabong’s homemade version was perfect. It tasted of banana and tomato without being unnaturally sweet. The fried chicken was delicious too. Even the white meat was moist. Every 3-pc platter of fried chicken comes with either plain rice or chicken rice. 

Just along MacArthur Highway, there you can see this beach boho-style building that house the best coffee drinks in La Union. From the outside, you’ll know that the place is really hip. Cars can park outside the building because they have parking slots for the customer. The coffee place is at the ground floor while the second floor is a yoga studio.

We could not leave without trying the desserts so we ordered the Indoor Smores and the Skillet Cookie.   The small portion I think is large enough for sharing. Both desserts are best served warm especially the smores where you have to dig in through all those delectable marshmallows using a graham cracker to get to the gooey chocolate goodness underneath.  It’s hard not to recommend El Union Coffee when visiting La Union. After all, it’s not like the other coffee shops around can say they’re homegrown. And of course, it’s a place to drive to if you crave for excellent coffee blends, tasty desserts and great relaxed vibe in this part of Luzon.

As you can tell from the pictures, Flotsam & Jetsam is THE place to party at night in San Juan. It’s a hip and uber popular hostel that draws large crowds of millennial partygoers. At night, practically everyone vacationing in San Juan will be here.  We came here to enjoy a few drinks but the hostel has a full menu as well, offering a wide range of dishes from Filipino staples to international favorites like pizza and pasta. There were so many people here that we couldn’t find a place to sit. It’s a stylish place that brands itself as an “artist hostel” so the vibe is young and electric. The place was buzzing with activity and people dancing to the beats of the DJ! It was a fun, tiring night. Haha.

La Union, you never disappoint. Hello, 2019!

Recipe Eats

Lets be honest, as fun as it is to go out and enjoy a nice meal and some fancy drinks with friends, this can get expensive (especially as college students). Many times as students we resort to ordering Jimmy John’s and spending our spare cash when we are tight on time. College is hectic. Between classes, work, family obligations, sleep, exercise, and trying to have a life, grocery shopping and cooking homemade meals is usually put on the backburner. 

Thankfully, grocery shopping and meal prepping can be quick and easy with my guide to recipe eats. Being prepared before a trip to the grocery store will save you time and prevent you from mindlessly buying food that will just go bad later on in the week. Also, never go to the grocery store hungry. You will be tempted to put everything and anything under the sun in that cart of yours. I promise, it is a disaster waiting to happen for your credit card.

Every weekend I do a clean sweep of my refrigerator and freezer. I get rid of things that have accumulated throughout the week (leftover Topper’s) and certain ingredients that I am choosing not to consume (sugar). I take out a pencil and paper and write down my grocery list the old fashioned way, based on the meals I want to make for the week. Having roommates in college means sharing a tiny refrigerator. Cleaning and restocking every weekend ensures you are not wasting space with uneaten food and only buying ingredients that you plan on eating that week. I highly recommend buying meal containers on Amazon that take up the least amount of space to easily store cooked food in the refrigerator. 

Here Are Some Of My Grocery Staples

PRODUCE 

My favorite place to buy produce is Costco. The big packs of fruits and veggies will last you all week so that you will not have to make multiple trips to the store; however, I purchase my bananas and avocados at Kwik Trip since they tend to go bad fast. The awesome thing about this time of year is being able to take advantage of the farmer’s market. You can always find ingredients such as lettuce mix, strawberries and sweet potatoes at the market for cheap! 

Broccoli 

Romaine 

Lemons 

Strawberries 

Bananas 

Blueberries 

Raspberries 

Sweet Potatoes 

Avocados 

Brussel Sprouts

DAIRY 

In my house, dairy is kept to a minimum. If I do purchase dairy I am extremely cautious about sourcing. Dairy has been linked to inflammation and breakouts and overall always upsets my stomach. Instead of cow’s milk, I find dairy products that are made with almond milk; however, this is completely a personal preference. I enjoy going to Whole Foods to purchase my non-dairy products. 

Almond Milk (New Barn)

Cheese (Kite Hill) Yogurt (Kite Hill) 

Ice Cream Probiotics (Good Belly) 

Ghee Butter 

PROTEIN 

Unless going out for a burger and fries with friends, I choose not to consume red meat, so you will never find it in my refrigerator. I do not have anything against red meat, I am just one of those weird texture people. I gravitate toward turkey-based meats. 

Boca Burgers

Lean Ground Turkey 

Tuna 

Eggs 

Turkey Bacon 

GRAINS

If you know one thing about me, it’s probably that I cannot get enough of carbohydrates. I basically grew up on bread and pasta. Unfortunately as my metabolism has slowed down, this habit also did. I still love grains. Everything in moderation! 

Banza Pasta (made with chickpeas) 

Sourdough Bread 

Perfect Bars 

Granola 

Oats

Siete Tortilla Chips 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Hu Chocolate Bars 

Georgia Grinders Almond Butter 

Protein Powder Cacao Powder

Finale 

I hope my grocery list and recipes help you break the staying-in stigma. Cooking is a great date idea, especially paired with a glass of wine and a movie! It is also a peaceful study break and a way to get your body up and moving from your couch on a Sunday. These recipes are easy! Trust me, I am not a whiz in the kitchen. I stick to simple recipes made with the least amount of ingredients that taste awesome and make me feel great. 

Next time you pick up processed foods at a gas station or on campus at school, turn it around and look at the list of ingredients. You will be surprised by how many ingredients you have never heard of and most likely cannot even pronounce. What we are choosing to put in our bodies matters and affects the way we feel, behave, and perform each and every day. Remember, you do not have to be perfect. No one is. Perfection is boring, but be different by caring about yourself. I cannot wait to see you recreate my recipes. 

Please make sure to send me pictures or tag me on social media.

When I got home I checked my blood sugar and it was 257, almost 100 points down from this morning’s waking blood sugar. I have dawn phenomenon where my liver dumps sugar before I wake, so that wasn’t too surprising. 

I ended up making 4 large eggs cooked over medium in butter with a small amount of green onion, salt and pepper and I had it with two Aidells pineapple and bacon sausages cooked in the air fryer. I felt tired, so I napped. I need to get myself sorted because this exhaustion is real. But also I think I am getting sick or something (not sure if I mentioned that earlier or not). I accidentally slept from about 7PM to 10:30 and missed picking my husband up from work. Thankfully a coworker gave him a ride home. 

We ended up ordering some food and while we waited we went to Taco Bell for some drinks. We ordered the food from a local dive bar. I got a 2/3lb burger with cheddar cheese and had it bunless, adding pickles, a tomato slice, two bacon strips, and mustard. It came with a side salad that I had with italian dressing. From Taco Bell, my husband wanted a burrito and I really wanted to try the nacho fries, so we got those with drinks. I had two bites of the nacho fries and I got a diet Mountain Dew Baja Blast (I can’t taste the difference so I really hope they gave me diet like I ordered). 

I checked my blood sugar again before we ate and it was 273. 

I am resisting my usual urge to binge. I have to be really careful because it is too easy for me to spiral. I had half a serving of some sour cream and onion potato chips and a small chocolate chip cookie. 

Based on my totals in My Fitness Pal, I am currently low carb. However, I had 77g of carbs yesterday and 54g of carbs today. It’s progress, which is all I can hope/try for. I’ll get there. I am going to be more strict tomorrow about not eating out or as much processed foods. After I finish this soda that I have been nursing the last couple hours I will close my eating window and start water fasting again. 

Oh, I also want to mention that when I started half-ass fasting on the 21st I was 229.1 and as of this morning I was 221.8. I’ll weigh again on Sunday.

Curious to see what my waking blood sugar is in the morning. I’m also curious if I will be able to sleep tonight since my legs are super sore. Anyway, goodnight.

Food Theory 2: Blog 3

ALLERGEN: DAIRY/LACTOSE

1.  With a dairy allergy a typical daily menu could include a breakfast consisting of avocado toast on toasted Ezekiel bread with a Sunnyside up egg, sliced cherry tomatoes and hummus. Alternatively, a tofu scramble with sauteed spinach, onions and peppers would be another option. For lunch, a spicy Thai bowl with diced cucumbers, shaved carrots, quinoa, tofu steak, avocado, mangos and a peanut lime sauce made with coconut milk, or a pasta salad made with chickpea pasta, black olives, cucumbers, bell peppers, red onions, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. For dinner, cauliflower tacos and a pineapple slaw, cilantro & avocado crema made with coconut milk, and sliced jalapeno peppers, or stuffed poblano peppers with black beans, sweet potato, corn, and cilantro also with an avocado crema. Snacks can include roasted chickpeas, popcorn, cut up fruit such as watermelon, dark chocolate almonds, banana-based ice-cream, and veggies with hummus.  

2.  A recipe I have done in the past, and still enjoy today is fresh rolls that I usually made with a peanut sauce. I never used to go off a specific recipe and would switch out ingredients based on what I had available to me but my favorite way of making it included rice paper rolls, cucumber, carrots, mango, tofu, bell pepper, peanuts, basil, cilantro for the roll and fresh ginger, peanut butter, lime juice, coconut milk, chili flakes, maple syrup, salt and pepper for the peanut sauce. The closest recipe option to what I make that I found online is from Cookie and Kate. https://cookieandkate.com/fresh-spring-rolls-recipe/  

3.  Monday: for breakfast I ate veggie sausages with sauteed zucchini, and a fried egg. For a snack I had some cherries. For lunch I had a wrap with vegetarian chicken, vegetarian bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado oil mayo and hot sauce. For dinner I had a veggie burger on a lettuce bun with vegetarian bacon, tomato, and sauteed onions. Tuesday: for breakfast I had the same thing I ate on Monday, veggie sausage with eggs and zucchini.  I didn’t eat a snack today but for lunch I had a salad with toasted walnuts, sliced pears and dried cranberries in a balsamic vinegar sauce. For dinner we had tacos, so I had roasted sweet potato on a corn tortilla with fresh salsa, and a mango coleslaw. After dinner we went for ice cream at Marble Slab, and I got coconut milk ice cream with blueberries, raspberries and strawberries.  Wednesday I didn’t eat breakfast because I slept in, so I snacked on some more cherries and then for lunch I had a salad with vegetarian chicken, cut up strawberries, red onions and toasted walnuts in a balsamic vinegar. For dinner I had vegetarian sausage with a chickpea salad and quinoa that I mixed in a bowl. On Thursday I had school all day so for a quick breakfast I had a strawberry banana smoothie with PeanutButter and almond milk. I got home around dinner time and had a Mediterranean style chickpea pasta for dinner that included sauteed onions, olives, peppers, and mushrooms with chickpea pasta, oregano, and an olive oil-based sauce. On Friday for breakfast, I had oatmeal made with almond milk, honey, and mixed berries. For lunch I was at school, so I didn’t eat, and for dinner I had left over pasta from the night before. After dinner I snacked on some popcorn and berries. Saturday morning, I had eggs, potatoes and tempeh bacon for breakfast, then went to work for the day. I work at a plant-based restaurant, so it is easy for me to eat there. On my break I had a bowl with rice, ginger, tempeh steak, mixed greens, cucumber, tomato, avocado, sauteed red peppers, peanut lime sauce and a lemon wedge. On Sunday for breakfast, I had a strawberry banana smoothie with peanut butter and almond milk, and eggs with tempeh bacon. Then at work I had cauliflower tacos with jicama, avocado, lemon aioli, cabbage, beet sauerkraut, and a lemon wedge. When I got home from work I had some dark chocolate almonds, popcorn and blueberries.  

4.  Looking back on my week of attempting to eat dairy free, I don’t think it was as challenging as I thought it was going to be. I have been vegetarian for 5 years now and I believe that eating plant based for so long gave me an advantage in creating alternative meals and being better equipped. My biggest struggle was avoiding cheeses and some breads and having to check for hidden dairy ingredients in some of the foods kept around my house. Other than for eggs and honey this past week, I realized I was eating almost vegan which was a surprise to me because I’ve always thought that it would be so hard to maintain and wouldn’t leave me feeling full or energized. One main thing I can take away from this is that although a dairy allergy poses some challenges regarding eating, there are many ways to keep it out of your diet and that being vegan isn't as difficult as I thought it would be!

5. In the future to maintain this diet I might consider vegan cheese, and even different kinds of milks as a substitute for lactose. Macadamia nut milk, soy milk, almond milk, cashew milk and oat milk are all great options to choose from. 

 6. I don’t think I will fully continue this choice, but I may reduce my dairy intake in hopes to see some of the promised benefits but as clearer skin and of course to reduce my contribution to the dairy industries.

i am very proud of my weird must-use-up-fresh-food-mum-bought-and-used-once-and-wont-ever-finish impromptu meals.

made a “burger” that from went:

pineapple “salsa” (pineapple, tomato; diced. chives, basil from garden: snipped in. dried parsley. lemon juice. Tabasco sauce) 

fried egg (w/ salt + pepper) 

jalapeno Havarti cheese slice

fried hamburger patty

3 leaves of lettuce from garden

1, 1/2 hashbrown patties 

1 toasted slice of bread. 

it was surprisingly pretty damn good.
