I've been travelling down to Toronto for work a lot lately, so I figured it was time for another travel based 'What I Eat' post. I did a fair amount of cooking. As you can see from the picture below, at one point I was using every burner on my stove to get ready for this trip! What have I got in all those pots? Well, you can see the lovely asparagus (which one my patients brought me as a gift from their garden!!!). I sauteed the asparagus in a little bit of margarine. The orange pot has some broccoli steaming in it. The frying pan has Dalew Farms ground beef, to which I added some balsamic vinegar and crushed garlic. The stainless steel saucepan has a porridge that I made by preparing whole grain red rice with some frozen blueberries and fresh strawberries. Here's my cooler, all packed. As you can see, I've got some mangoes, apples, a cucumber, rice cakes, and some freezer packs. Beneath that there are some Daiya mozzarella style shreds, peanut putter, a package of hummus, avocados, and stainless steel containers with the meals I prepared on the stove. Here's a picture of the breakfast porridge. It doesn't LOOK super delicious, but it was amazing how much it smelled like candy! I didn't need to add anything besides the red rice, the blueberries, and the strawberries, and it was delicious. Here's me eating one of the meals on my lap during a seminar (I added a basil pesto the broccoli and beef). Besides the obvious advantages of keeping my meals hypoallergenic and saving money, bringing my own food also means that I get to spend breaks exploring the area I've traveled to! I was staying in the Danforth so, of course, I had to visit the Big Carrot! I had access to a kitchen for this meal, so I picked up some organic dinosaur kale and sauteed it with some garlic. The fish was a pre-cooked (smoked, actually) mackerel made with salt, pepper, and mustard. It made a nice meal! I ate this meal at one of my favourite restaurants with a gluten free menu, State and Main. This is their fish taco dish, with romaine leaves substituted for the tacos. It was so good!

It really looks like you are being so cautious with the foods that you are eating which is indeed good for you most especially since you are in the stage of your life where you need to become healthy as much as possible. My dad who has been careless when it comes to his health before has now made some big changes with his diet and lifestyle. He even encourages us to do what he has been doing for quite some time now because he wants us to live longer and healthier. Well, I have to say that I have been convinced with his talk and lessons which is why I am now trying to do some changes in my life that will make everything better.

What I EatI want to give you an idea of how to eat healthfully on a restricted diet, without a lot of work, by showing you how I eat! I eat strictly gluten-free. You'll find A LOT of veggies in this blog! I eat both fish and meat a few times a week (local and/or humane, whenever possible), and dairy when I'm visiting family and friends, or eating out. I hope you find this blog inspiring and interesting!
