Yesterday & this morning

Here's what I ended up eating yesterday, and it was hard to stay focused I went to whole foods after having eaten the equivalent of a large salad in 3 days ...and there were plenty of tempting treats esp in the prepared food section. But I was determined to a) not spend $200 b) not vary from my list c) not to undue what I have started. Still they had these melty cheese things..but I didn't get them or any of the creamy pasta items or the fried chicken.

Did change my list a bit:

Got soymilk in place of rice milk

Did not get blueberries or pears or pineapple

Got Watermelon, cantalope & pink grapefruit

3 bananas

2 mangoes

2 avocados

forgot ginger

got two russet potatoes

didn't get ground turkey it was just too expensive, got ground Buffalo instead..seriously I did

Brussel sprouts in place of fava beans (they didn't have any)

forgot the frozen edamame

got chicken stock instead of veg stock

got a whole bunch (like 6) frozen burritos for X to take to lunch

2 packets instant miso soup

some fancy whole grain cumin/cayenne crackers

2 bars dark chocolate

1/2 gallon 2% milk

1 packet of Vegan Korma simmering sauce ..Indian is really hard to do from scratch 

Fish : Frozen mahi mahi, live mussels 

Chicken: boneless/skinless breasts
didn't get black beans  because I like goya the best

Dozen large brown organic eggs

So the list on the previous post plus these changes/additions $140 which I think is pretty good for whole foods.. esp since I didn't not notice till we checked out the the damn broccoli sprouts were $5.. $5!!!!!!! and the stupid grapefruits were $1.50 each. And this with my pantry easily a week and a half worth of food for both of us

@ 1;45 sandwich made from two small pieces whole  grain bread, quarter an avocado, handful of broccoli sprouts & a thin slice monterey jack cheese

@ 4: 30  some watermelon

@7 : 00 1 whole wheat cracker w/ sheeps milk cheese

@ 7:30 1 see above but with 2 pieces of crisped baked kale (new best thing ever)

dinner @ 9pm 1 cup brown rice mixed w/ vegetables (carrots & onion) made w/ chicken stock, 1 cup steamed kale w/ baked crispy kale crumbled over it, 1 fried egg,  piece of butternut squash (small 3" x 1")

1 half glass red wine

this morning

1 glass lemonstuff

1/2 cup watermelon cubes

2 eggs whites w/ 1 tbs sheeps milk cheese & 1/2 cup kale

1 glass Irish breakfast tea.

Recipe...sort of

Crispy baked kale

Version 1:

Use Lacinato of Dinosaur kale ( the long dark green kind)

Spray with oil, sprinkle with sea salt

lay pieces out on a baking sheet and bake for @ 20 min @ 350 till crunchy (maybe longer my oven is very hot)

Version 2

Julienne the Kale (either kind) toss in a bowl with olive oil, enough to barely coat, sprinkle w/ sea salt, spread out on a baking sheet and 20 min @ 350

Sea salt makes this taste kind of like toasted seaweed ..nori..Yumm
