Breakfast - Salmon Cakes on Spicy Carrots with Fried Sweet Potatoes and Fruit Salad

Fruit Salad - made with fresh blueberries, peaches, and strawberries mixed with a small amount of dried mint and maple syrup.

Sweet Potatoes -  I peeled and cubed a large sweet potato, boiled it until it was soft, and then put it in my cast iron frying pan with some meat drippings at a medium-high heat until the cubes (well, technically rectangles) had slightly browned, stirring very occasionally.

Salmon Cakes - I mashed together (with a potato masher) a drained can of salmon, sliced green onions, a few tablespoons of arrowroot flower, a few teaspoons of water, a bit of salt, and about a tablespoon of avocado oil.   Once I had mashed this mixture enough that it was a uniform texture and sticky, I formed it into patties, and fried it in my cast iron frying pan with avocado oil at a medium-high heat until each side had browned. 

Carrots - I modified my own recipe by taking out the dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds, and adding in currants.   I also was less lazy this time and shredded the carrot!

Lunch - Cabbage and Apple Dish

Cut up a half a head of green cabbage.   Slice two apples and mix them with the cabbage.   Put in a pan (I use cast iron) and add about six tablespoons of water at the bottom of the pan.  Cook at a high heat until the cabbage is soft and the water has evaporated (you might need to add more water).   Add a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and cayenne pepper to taste.  Sprinkle pine nuts on top.   This dish makes surprisingly good leftovers. 

Quesadillas

I rinsed and chopped greens from local gardens (chard, arugula, and green onions).  I put a little bit of avocado oil in the bottom of my cast iron frying pan and then layered a brown rice tortilla, the greens, and vegan cheese shreds (topped with another tortilla).  I fried it at a medium high heat until brown, flipped it, and did the same.  So delicious!!

Dinner - Cauliflower Curry
[please forgive the terribly out of focus picture]

I make this dish a lot, and I'm going to give you the basic formula.  

I used a base of minced ginger, minced garlic,and finely chopped onions.   I fry this base in avocado oil until it starts to lightly brown and become aromatic.   The, I add pieces of vegetables, including cauliflower, zucchini, squash, and bell peppers, mixed with a few teaspoons of curry powder.   In this dish, I used curry powder from my favourite spice company.   I mix this up, and let it cook a bit, getting the vegetables covered in the curry powder.   Then, I add canned coconut milk, sometimes diluted with a bit of water or rice milk if it is quite thick, and golden raisins.   Sometimes I add chicken.  I finish cooking the vegetables in the coconut milk, avoiding bringing it to a full boil (it changes the flavour). That's it!

    What I Eat

    I 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!
