Mornin'!
Every so often I think it is fun and informative to hear what others are eating. I always get good ideas. Since I had time to cook and ate very well yesterday, I'll share my menu.
Breakfast - smoothie made with wild organic blueberries, half a banana, and some pure apple juice
Lunch - one egg scrambled in olive oil, fruit salad (cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberries, green melon), and roasted sweet potatoes; plain iced tea
Dinner - homemade turkey meat loaf, baked potato, fresh organic kale (YUM - was it superb!), beets, and Bubbies sauerkraut (I finally found some at Whole Foods, and it IS the best, no question).
To make the kale, I sauteed some onions and garlic in olive oil and then added some organic (Imagine) chicken broth along with the kale leaves. Then, I let the kale "steam" in the broth (covered) for about 15 minutes.
Also, I found a product on the web called "Nomato", which is for people who can't or won't eat tomatoes. There is a pasta sauce, ketchup, BBQ sauce, etc., made without tomatoes. Someone is to call me today to let me know what ingredients they use. I hope I can tolerate these products. I think they substitute other veggies like beets and carrots for the tomatoes.
What have YOU been eating?
Love,
Polly

Polly,
Did you ever try the Nomato sauce? I found it online and it lists these ingredients: Organic Carrots, Water, Beets, Organic Onions, Lemon Juice, Kosher Salt, Garlic, Herbs, Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C).
I'm wondering if it would be ok for me as a substitute for tomatoes.

I did not eat well yesterday. No gluten, of course. I have an impending sense of doom about the results of my upcoming casein sensitivity test, so I have been eating a lot of lactose-free cheese, though. I did, however, drink kombucha from a new batch that I decanted on Monday. So that was a good thing, especially as it seems to be helping with the joint and muscle aches.
Last night I took a sausage apple strata egg dish to home group. I wasn't going to eat any because the bottom layer is bread, and who knows what was in the sausage, etc. A friend who is supposed to be gluten-free got some. I told her that it had bread in it, and she just looked away. A few minutes later, she told me how good it was. That is so frustrating. This woman has all sorts of neurological and other issues, and feels tired and overwhelmed all the time. But I was a good girl, and did not come off as a self-righteous ex-glutenite, but just thanked her for the compliment.

Hey Polly and all
Well... I certainly missed this post . So many nooks and crannies here and not always time to look at them all. Oh well.
So i will start from today rather than when you posted.
Arising enthusiastically a 6 AM I made a pot of green tea and a chorizo omelet. Had a bunch of tag ends of frozen fruit that I combined together and let defrost over night . Mostly berries and peaches. YUM!
Lunch was Butternut squash soup that I made earlier in the week with some bits of leftover pork roast simmered with broccoli.
I bought a Turkey Thigh the other day that I removed the bone , pounded out flat, spread sautéed onion , garlic, celery and white button mushrooms, rolled up and tied. Browned it all over in my cast Iron fry pan and stuck it the oven until done. Double YUM! Made a great sauce from the dripings Served with my favorite, steamed broccoli with roasted garlic
Love the idea of Nomato. If you can’t find it their are many,many places on the net on how to make your own. Here are just a few I found because it look interesting. Not difficult to make and you will know what is in it.

Unfortunately beats are not my friends at this stage of the game besides which ever since my younger days I always thought they tasted like dirt. I know why I feel the cilantro tastes like ivory soap but don't know why I would know what dirt tastes like. :-)
Loving temperatures now rather than -13 for a few mornings last week.

I don't think I have ever read anything in this section of the forum before.
Matthew, I think cilantro tastes like soap, too. My whole family does. We must all have the same taste buds in that respects.
My meals today:
Breakfast was a boiled egg, one piece of 'homemade' GF bread made from Pamela's bread mix, grapefruit, flaked coconut, oj, and coffee.
Lunch was rice, meatballs, broccoli, peeled apple (my first in 6 weeks) , and 2 chocolate bliss balls.
Supper was baked potato, steak, corn on the cob, broccoli.
I really miss raw veggies. I've been holding off on them since having an on-again, off-again flare beginning in late February.

Wow Matthew, I can only hope that my diet becomes that varied!
Breakfast-I still can't find anything for breakfast so I don't eat. Just a couple cups of coffee.
Lunch-Roast beef.
Dinner-Beef stew with bok choy and carrots. A baked potato.
Snack-A few corn chips.
2 Kosher for Passover chocolate macaroons. I hope things go well for me tomorrow.

I love this game! It feels a little like one of those scrabble games where someone started out with a 92 point word... and I'll never catch up. But in a good way. Go, Matthew!
Breakfast: sweet potato, with egg poached on top late in the cooking (new easy golden breakfast idea my husband also loved). I will be interested to know what my Enterolab results are for eggs.
Lunch: wonderful roast lamb slices from a local shop, and carrots (leftovers from 2 nights ago: cut in chunks, steamed about 5 minutes, tossed with olive oil, salt, a little pomegranate 'molasses' and a hint of ginger).
Snack: more lamb (I had a choral rehearsal this evening, so needed some power); almond milk. Also had fresh lemon squeezed into seltzer.
Dinner: roast chicken (my husband's signature dish), and more sweet potatoes.
Very curious about the Nomato idea - definitely willing to create my own version.
Arlene, yesterday for breakfast I had sliced boiled potatoes with leftover date-raisin puree - and I had way too much date-raisin puree over the course of a couple of days. But I'm thinking of trying the sliced-potato trick with nut butter next. I don't know if you could imagine hijacking a potato for breakfast, but thought I'd mention it ;)
Bon appetit and good night all ;)
Love,
Sara

diet
I would appreciate any suggestions. My MC/CC flared about three weeks ago. On June 19th I fell and fractured my femur, and had surgery on the 20th. I have to take aspirin for one month. MC/CC
seems worse. Any meal suggestions?

Hi Rusty,
That was a bad run of luck, to say the least. Try to have some home made bone broth every day to help provide all the amino acids you need to assure optimal healing. And make sure you are getting enough vitamin D and magnesium, that also helps with healing.
The aspirin will probably frustrate your attempts to eliminate the MC symptoms, but maybe not. Try to keep your meals bland, avoiding all gluten, dairy, and soy while minimizing fiber and sugar. Good luck with your recovery.

Lots of meals with meat on the bone, root vegetables, slow cooked together.
Osso buco , roast meats etc.
as tex suggested bone broth /stock (home made) make soups and stews on the broth.
Spend time in the sun each day, this boosts your immune system
