after i was diagnosed with diverticulitis i slowly started to change my diet. now, eating primarily whole foods isn’t always exciting but boy do you feel the difference and i lost 20 pounds in two months 🤦🏻‍♀️

Holy moly admin, I’m sorry 😥 I had to read up on that, it sounds painful. I’m glad you were able to turn your diet around and found a way to stick to it, getting older and the harsh effects that come with it is no joke. The way my metabolism changed between my 20s and 30s is such a kick in my ass. If I don’t do something active every day and even think about a chocolate shake or chicken strips and fries my ass automatically jiggles for like 2 weeks 😭

What are some main staples in your whole food diet? Like do you avoid carbs altogether or just certain ones at certain times? I find that if I don’t eat carbs (flour products, bread, potatoes, rice, pasta and corn), added sugars, processed food, dairy, grains, legumes, alcohol or oils (cooking and all fat oils and butter) 3 consecutive days each week, my cravings for the bad stuff becomes less, my inflammation goes away and I can drop at least 2 pounds a week and that’s without any working out, plus I quit caffeine period. *I’m not a nutritionist or diet expert* It is easy to maintain and each week gets easier if you stick to it, but obviously I’m human so this is not something I do all the time for weeks at a time. I’m a foodie at heart and if I want loaded nachos with a steak and bang bang shrimp on the side, I’m a do it 🤣 especially around that time of the month….but that’s when I’ll up the weight and reps in my workouts too.

you're right, i swear i turned 25 and all of a sudden shit got real 😂 i know exactly what you mean though.. nowadays i have been trying to do at least 10k steps every day (walking or jogging) and weight lift 3/week. 2022-2023 was challenging health wise for a variety of reasons and i felt like a big change was needed. ended up having surgery for my endometriosis/an ovarian mass and promptly put on a medication that basically was like a taste of menopause.. hot flashes, joint pain, insomnia, nauseous all the time.. i'm just now coming off of it and i tell you that shit made it so hard to lose weight lmao i'm hoping things will be stable off of it.

everything you said makes perfect sense to me! the longer i go without eating ultra-processed/hyperpalatable foods in general, the easier it gets and the less i crave them. this year i actually ended up buying and participating in a medical weight loss plan because i NEEDED for someone to.. basically just tell me what to eat. i wasn't technically overweight - i know how to eat low calorie and i know how to lose weight if i need to, but not in a healthy way at all. that really was what changed for me, taking their little nutritional class and receiving a meal plan with tons of details about the different groups and how much to eat each day. i realized i was eating so much MORE food - my meal plan was more than i could even manage most days, and yet i lost weight, like now i look like a different person.. it's crazy. i realize i'm sensitive to sodium and i was really inflamed, even in my face, looking back it was so pronounced. on my meal plan, i couldn't add any salt to my food, only salt free seasonings. so that was a big thing lol to answer your question about staples, it's a little tricky.. i haven't banned carbs at all, but i have reduced them a bit. for instance, i'll still have rice, but i will do 1/4 of a cup or 1/2 cup and load up on veggies. nowadays i just eat the live carb smart bread and buns. potatoes are my FAVORITE, so i just try and eat a bit less of them, corn as well. the tricky part about trying to eat as many whole food meals as possible, is that i don't want to cook a meal every single night. i'm big on meal prepping, but i don't really like to eat microwaved food. i feel like it makes food taste weird, ESPECIALLY chicken, which happens to be my general protein of choice. so i've been eating a lot of beef, eggs and cottage cheese for protein. i love vegetables so there's countless options to add in my rotation. i'm very much still learning what works for me, and like you, i'm a foodie who loves to eat. i'm never going to be someone made miserable trying to stick to a very strict diet. i want to enjoy those delicious nachos every once in a while too LMFAO

For Veganuary, some of my favorite vegan foods!

As a general rule, I use canned or frozen veggies in all of these. They’re cheaper, they last longer, and you don’t have to do any chopping (which is especially convenient when it comes to onions). The only exceptions are mushrooms and potatoes.

Rice!

I cook it with veggie broth (or a vegan chicken flavored broth), garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.

Before I set it to simmer, I dump in a bag of frozen veggies (I like mixed veggies or spinach) or fresh veggies (I like mushrooms) and throw in a can of chickpeas for good measure

Right after it’s done, I stir in some vegan cheese if I have it. I usually do about a cup of cheese when I make a big pot and that’s plenty.

Dirty Rice

Pasta!

To stretch mac and cheese, melt some vegan butter in the pot, add your unsweet dairy free milk, then add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and whatever seasonings you want. Bring it to a boil and then whisk in enough flour to get it to a gravy-like consistency. then add your dairy free cheese--you’ll only need half as much.

Garlic Butter Pasta

Chickpea “Tuna” Casserole 

Alfredo

I like to add red bell pepper or spinach to a mozzarella mac and cheese; peas or meatless crumbles to a cheddar mac and cheese. 

For tomato sauce, I just use a can of crushed tomato with salt, garlic and onion powder, italian seasoning, and a bit of balsamic vinegar. Spinach and mushrooms go well with this, too.

Some of my top recipes

Biscuit Topped Chickpea Pot Pie (takes a while but so worth it!)

Tabbouleh (I usually add chickpeas to make it heartier)

Corn Fritters (I just throw in whatever veggies I have on hand)

Biscuits and Gravy (I usually add some fake sausage to the gravy to make it more filling)

Split Pea Soup

Hummus and Pita (This isn’t real pita, but it’s close and much easier. Of course you can always just buy it at the store, too.)

Potato Wedges

Refried Bean Burgers

Burritos (No recipe, but I fill mine with refried beans, spanish rice--the little knorr packets are vegan!--taco sauce, and mexican style dairy free cheese)

Nachos (No recipe, but I top mine with black beans, a vegan cheese sauce, salsa, and black olives)

Pancakes

Desserts are easy--just sub out dairy-free milk and dairy-free butter. Or search for vegan versions of your favorites! 

Cinnamon Rolls

Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls

Orange Rolls

Sprinkle Sugar Cookies

Rolled Sugar Cookies

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Vanilla Pudding

Chocolate Pudding

Lots of stovetop pudding mixes are vegan--just use non-dairy milk!

Vanilla Cake

Chocolate Cake

Coffee Cake

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Banana Nice Cream

Frozen Pineapple Whip 

Vegan Egg Substitutes for Baking

Cheese - I buy raw cashews in bulk from foodtolive--shipping is free, tax is included, and the price is very reasonable. I eat cashew cheese every day so I usually get the 7lb bag and keep it in the bottom of my fridge.

Easy Cheese Sauce (no cashews)

Go-to Cashew Cheese (This is a great base! Sometimes I add tomato paste and hot sauce for a buffalo cheese, or sometimes I go heavy on the lemon juice and add dried dill and parsley).

Pimento Cheese

Sundried Tomato Cheese

[thespicedpalate]

These black bean burritos are filled with aromatic black beans, vibrant Mexican rice, sharp cheddar cheese, and a melty nacho cheese sauce served inside a chewy and crispy flour tortilla. This is a great way to fill your freezer with food for cheap.

But the best part?

They only cost about $.53 cents each, and you can fill your freezer with them.

Why the Fajita Bar Is Such a Great Catering Option

Catering is convenient. It’s a simple way to bring food into the workplace for team lunches, events, or for any reason. When it comes to convenience, one kind of catering can take things to the next level: the food bar.

Food bars come in all kinds of flavors, like the burger bar, salad bar, taco bar, and fajita bar. They come with “all the fixins” you need to feed a crowd. You don’t have to go around taking everyone’s order. You put in a single order and go from there. That said, the fajita bar stands out from the rest. When you search for local Tex-Mex or Mexican catering, you may find a fajita bar. While food bars like the burger bar or taco bar can be convenient and delicious in their own right, the fajita bar might just offer even more convenience. How can a fajita bar possibly be more convenient? Here are a few ways the fajita bar stands out from other kinds of food bars. Start by Customizing Your Fajita Bar The convenience of the fajita bar begins the second you start your order. Many caterers let you customize your own fajita bar. You may be able to choose from a few different proteins like marinated beef, chicken, or beans. From there, you can choose additional toppings for your overall order. Many fajita bars come with a standard assortment of toppings, like sauteed veggies, cheese, and rice. Exact toppings can vary between caterers, but you may be able to add extras if you want. Then there’s arguably the most important detail of your lunch catering order—the amount of food! You don’t want to get too little, but you definitely don’t want to be stuck with a ton of leftovers, either. The best catering platforms let you order based on headcount. This ensures you get enough food to minimize waste and keep your budget under control. Get All the Delicious Ingredients You Need to Get Started You may be able to customize your fajita bar to a degree when you order, but the customization really matters once your bar is delivered. Whether you’re feeding the team or hosting an event, everyone in attendance can pick and choose what they want in their fajita. This is generally true of any food bar. People can pick what they want to eat and they can make their fajita their way. From the protein to the veggies to the sauces, it’s up to each person. If someone wants a veggie fajita, they can have it! Fajita Bars Make It Easy to Customize Your Meal Options The interesting thing about fajita bars is that they don't have to be “just” fajita bars. This is one feature that can set them apart from other food bars. They offer a level of flexibility you might not get with other kinds of food bars. Fajita bars typically come with flour tortillas, though you may be able to get a side of tortilla chips or other kinds of tortillas. This means your fajita bar can double as a taco bar or even a nacho bar. It’s just another level of delicious convenience! About ezCater How easy is it to order team lunch on ezCater?

Menu Sixteen

Menu Sixteen from Bishop and Carruthers’ “The Vegetarian Adventure Cookbook”

Minestrone con Pesto: canned tomatoes, celery, onion, garlic, vegetable stock, water, salt, pepper, tomato paste, parsley, basil, olive oil, parmesan.

Yoghurt Bread: yoghurt, plain flour, wheat flour, wheat bran.

Neopolitan Salad: cos lettuce, capsicum, olives, mozzerella, tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parmesan, salt, pepper.

Week sixteen could be described as a week of psychological abundance, both within the parameters of Menu Sixteen and without. I thought back to an earlier week on this journey in which comparison was the central theme, only this week comparison was the root cause of this psychological abundance. Bishop and Carruthers’ had another soup on the menu, the second warm soup, and one that I knew had promise of being delicious. Things were looking up for the Christmas season. I was again considering change, not so much the violent kind that I longed for weeks ago but more so the way that we begin to shape things to evoke change, and the way that every year is sort of just the previous year only it’s rewritten according to changes that have happened since the last. Any shackles we might have will disintegrate eventually.

I was sick on Monday, an illness I had contracted from a friend the day before when we shared a plate of nachos at bar in the neighbourhood beside our own. Because of this, I did not do the grocery shopping that night. Still, positively, the dinner party was on the up and up, friends were reuniting. There were to be seven of us around the dinner table, a reunion episode if you will. I had read over the menu late on Monday night taking in the asterisks with the fine print, Bishop and Carruthers’ were telling me I was allowed to swap out the brown rice for pasta in the Minestrone Soup con Pesto and leave out the mung beans in the Yoghurt Bread. I believed these notes may be the key to making Menu Sixteen not just an edible meal, but a delicious one too.

On Tuesday the weather was freezing and I wore a black woolen jumper over a black dress and blue jeans. It was the second week of December and I was even sicker than Monday, the sore throat had modified itself into a cough and snotty nose. I went into work because I needed to take on the role of a waitress for the board later that evening and I was quietly riveted to do so. I also knew I wanted to go to the bulk store on my lunch break. When I did, I realised the entire store had been recast. I bought kidney beans and sunflower seeds and walked out. I wasn’t sure I’d return. When I parked at the fruit and vegetable shop later that evening I did my worst park yet, when I returned to the car after making my purchase, the woman who had pulled in beside me while I was in there was refusing to step out until I pulled out and I suspect it was because she couldn’t and not because she didn’t want to.

I still wasn’t sure if I was interested in cooking on Wednesday, the day of the dinner party. It was another cold day, I wore a turtleneck under my apron, I hadn’t worn my apron in weeks but felt inclined that night to do so. I had bought a loaf tin specially for the yoghurt bread since in a way the recipe called for one. That was where I began, the dough very sticky but came together with a wooden spoon as a lump in baking paper in my new loaf tin. I covered it in tinfoil, a special touch brought about by necessity and it went into the oven to stay there for 45 minutes. The Minestrone Soup con Pesto was put to cook and simmer, a true testament to the patient nature of cooking. That’s something I’ve had to change about myself through this journey, become a patient person. All things take time to simmer and change, myself included. I made up the Neopolitan Salad, it looked gorgeous, then let it chill out in the Fridge behind the table in the dining room. Back inside the kitchen, the oven shut down, lights out, at the Yoghurt Bread’s 40 minute mark. I remained positive and left it there in hopes it would cook anyway. My guests began to pile in around 8 PM, slowly gathering around the table congregating after separate and not-seperate days. I used the blender as the talked and felt I should start changing the process of my cooking to use the blender before anyone showed up.

At 8 45 PM dinner was ready and my seventh guest had just arrived. It was a reunion episode. The dinner went down so well and at the end of this week I was a warm person, albeit with poor morals, but I loved everyone that I knew. I’d forgotten to put the bay leaf in the Minestrone con Pesto but the photos in my phone were regenerating.

Taco Social, 1627 Colorado Blvd, Los Angeles (Eagle Rock), CA 90041

Replacing the fried chicken concept, Taco Social finally opened in Eagle Rock. It’s a nice looking, open, bright space offering an international take on tacos (because everyone loves tacos). They’re larger tacos made with flour tortillas (or you can opt for corn tortillas or lettuce wraps) filled with chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, and vegetarian. But they’re not your usual tacos. The taco types include Greek Life, Tikka Masala, K BBQ, Cheeseburger, Banh Mi, Thai Chili, and Nola Po Boy. They start at $4.95. Also on the menu: nachos, chips, salads, and other sides, beer, wine, craft cocktails, frozen cocktails, etc. There’s a kids menu and happy (social) hour from 3 PM – 6 PM. The fountain drinks are self-serve (free refills). They also have a few house sauces at the drink station: habanero sauce and TS sauce.

Tikka Masala taco ($5.25): crispy chicken tender, spicy tikka sauce, buttered basmati cilantro rice, house crema, cilantro. Nice sized chicken tender, lots of sauces on top. The rice was soft. The tikka masala sauce was creamy and a little spicy. It wasn’t bad – of course the sauce wasn’t what you’d get at a real Indian restaurant but it was a reasonable effort.

Banh Mi taco ($5.25): slow roasted pork, sweet chili aioli, pickled carrot, daikon, cucumber, sliced jalapeno, cilantro, mint. The flour tortilla was warm. The roasted pork was tender and there was a good amount of it. The carrots and daikon were actually pickled and tangy. Fresh herbs were very nice. It did remind me of banh mi. The sweet chili aioli wasn’t needed and it made the taco saucier and sweeter than optimal.

Nashville Hot Cod taco ($5.95): beer battered cod, pickles, scallions, radicchio, sauce: Piece of cod could have been hotter and bigger, spice was mild.

Guac & chips ($5.95): thicker corn tortilla chips with a cup of chunky guac. The guac is topped with cojita, corn nuts, and pepitas. Liked it – the flavors were simple but good. The guac was seasoned well. I thought the corn nuts might be too hard but they weren’t.

Caesar salad: Romaine, cojita, pickled red onions, tiny bits of tomato, pepita seeds. Fresh, straightforward. Would like more going on.

It looks like a historic brick building that was once a brewery then the fried chicken place. The layout is similar to when it was the fried chicken place. There’s a bar area with TVs tuned to sports games, indoor seating, sidewalk seating in the front, and an outdoor patio. They need more umbrellas or something to provide shade though.

The self-serve ordering kiosks are meant for to go orders. The tacos were packaged nicely so that all the fillings didn’t fall out. The tacos are larger – about 8 bites worth. Two are good for lunch but if you’re hungry, you’ll want a third or a side.

I found the tacos to be packed with flavor because they use a lot of sauce. The flavors aren't exactly authentic but they're reasonably good.

Day 26/100.

I'm tired and lazy today. But I'll try and get motivated to continue my declutter project.

Next pantry shelf to tackle:

I know there's expired stuff at the back.

First layer: all stuff I use regularly. Couscous, rice, pasta and some cookies.

The tall blue wine gift box is what I keep long pasta in (linguine, spaghetti, fettuccine). I'm pleased with myself for having found a way to reuse the gift box. It's a bit too tatty to gift to someone else.

The empty peanut butter container is for rotini. I've recently started buying it from a bulk food store that opened near me (not Bulk Barn). I'd love to eventually get most of my staples from there, because I hate packaging waste. But they have so many nice things, it's a bit overwhelming. So right now I just get my couscous and rotini from there.

The couscous you see in the photo is not in its original container; I saved the container and then reused it for the bulk couscous.

Next layer:

Banana chips. I don't like banana chips, but my daughter does. But she tends to forget we have them. I need to put a small container of them on her desk so she can snack on them while doing homework.

A container labelled "cream of wheat" so I always think it's cream of wheat, but it's not cream of wheat. It's flour mixed with what smells like garlic powder, which I evidently batch-prepared for when I'm battering meat. How very efficient of me. Too bad my past self thinks my future self doesn't need labels. (Yep, we've gone over this before.) I need to label this properly, and then keep it together with the paprika-salt-garlic powder mixture I probably batch-prepared at the same time. And then I need to use them!

Chocolate syrup. My household doesn't consume chocolate syrup. I had to buy this for my daughter when she was taking a desert-making course over Zoom. She used about a half cup. The rest has been sitting there since. It's not that we don't like chocolate syrup, we just never think of having it. I need to buy some vanilla ice cream and whipped cream to give me a reason to consume this.

A container of chopped walnuts. I have no recollection of when or why I bought this. This will have to go in the compost.

A very nearly empty container of honey. I will use this up tonight in some tea. I've just added a bit of water to the container to dissolve it, it will be faster and easier than trying to scrape it out.

Low-dose aspirin. I must've got this as a freebie trial product or something because no one here needs a daily low-dose aspirin. I should probably throw it out but instead I'll keep it with the other painkillers. Might be good for period cramps.

Ok, we're on the last stretch.

Some cardboard boxes for holding six cans of beer. Not sure if I need these, but maybe I should keep them where I keep empties.

Woo, some fancy dip mixes! I sort of remember these. Only a little bit left of the, I think, onion-cheddar one. Chucked it. Box in recycling.

Lasagna noodles. I don't know why I always end up buying lasagna noodles. It's such a pain in the butt to make. But I guess I'll have to make some at some point to use up the noodles.

What are these? Flat wooden sticks. For ice cream? *Sigh* I don't know why I have these. Garbage, I guess.

I used to keep an emergency kit stocked with dry foods when my kids were really little. These meal packets are from that.

They are made specifically for camping or emergency kits, as they have a long shelf life and only need hot water added directly to the pouch to prepare them. It says they have a shelf life of 3-5 years, but they are best before dated 2013 😕 I'm tempted to open them up anyway and see if they're still edible though 😅 Maybe tomorrow.

Alright, so all that was left was an empty cardboard box, an empty plastic container and some plastic bags. I recycled those/stored them for reuse, and then I just had to clean up some spilled nachos and crumbs. Wiped everything down, put everything back, and here's what I have in there now.

So much space! 😮 WOW!

I'm pretty pleased with myself ☺️

I'm sooo tired though. Time to tea and read before bed.

Fiesta!

I recently remembered a place I used to work at. It was a small local chain of fast food restaurants called Fiesta!. It was basically a high-end local Taco Bell if you can imagine. Highly Americanized Mexican cuisine. I still remember most of the recipes for everything we would make there. Our most consistently popular item was the Chicken Rancherito Wrap. Fried chicken atop a bed of cabbage, pico de gaillo, rice, and cheddar cheese, drowned in ranch dressing and wrapped up in a huge flour tortilla. 

I never ate one.

Of course there were many seasonal items that, for the time they were available, gained much more popularity than the wrap. Fish tacos, chipotle quesadillas, nacho burritos… Of course everything had the word Fiesta in front of it, otherwise lawsuits would have probably been made. It was definitely cumbersome to say every item's full title when repeating a large order back to the customer. None of the people who worked there actually tacked on the “fiesta” prefix. We all tried to, especially when the manager was around, but no one did it consistently. 

I remember one guy who worked there… Well, his name escapes me, but we would always close together. He was cool. A very quiet fellow, got his shit done and got out. It’s not like he didn’t goof off, we all goofed off, but he only did it once his stuff was done. He smoked too. Never took orders, didn’t do dishes, in fact I don’t think I ever saw the guy even touch the sink, but he was a good guy. 

I don’t really remember why I quit, but I’m glad I’m not working there any more. Onwards and upwards. I probably would have ended up in some trailer ark if I had stayed anyway. Although I guess that would beat being on the run. Maybe. Honestly if I was in that trailer park, I would think being an outlaw would be a better way to spend time. 

I probably shouldn't confess I’m on the run, but it’s not like anyone knows my identity here. And if the people who want me come here, than I’m already a dead man. 

Sometimes I miss Fiesta! and the life I held there. 

It sure was easier. 

Thank you for your time.
