What I Eat - Day Ninety-Three

Breakfast - Sweet Potato 'Toast,' Salmon, and Avocado

Yup, if you haven't heard of it before, I jumped on the sweet potato toast train!   It works pretty well.  Just slice large, peeled sweet potato (at least a centimeter thick, or else it starts to cave in) and pop it in the toaster....over, and over, and over. It takes a while for that sweet potato to cook!  The finished product is slightly blackened on the outside, and not quite completely cooked on the inside, but still delicious!   I ate mine with some canned salmon mixed with my poppy seed salad dressing, and some avocado (mixed with salt and lime juice).  

Poppy Seed Dressing:

(blend up the following)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 of an onion, roughly chopped
1 cup of olive oil

(and then add) 
4 tsp poppy seeds 

Lunch - Caesar Salad from Arugula

Arugula makes some really wonderful food!   Their salads are amazing!  I should note, however, that I have found that I, and others, do not tolerate their gluten-free pizza crust well.   I have no idea why, but this side effect has proven to be relatively consistent.  

Dinner - BBQ'd Souvlaki, Brown Rice, Cauliflower, and Coleslaw 

A friend brought over the grilled souvlaki (they were from a pre-prepared package, but all the ingredients were ok for me).   I made brown rice with Roasted Garlic & Peppers One Step Seasoning added to the rice at the beginning of the cooking process.  I cut up a head of cauliflower and cooked it at a medium-high heat in my dutch oven with a bit of water and avocado oil, until it was soft.   

I also made some quick coleslaw.  
Ingredients:
half a small head of green cabbage, finely sliced
one apple, thinly sliced
1/3 cup currants
approx. 3 tbsp rice vinegar
one tbsp. maple syrup
salt
black pepper

Party!

I thought it would be nice to show how great my friends are about bringing treats to parties that I can have!   I think the only things I couldn't eat on this whole counter were the finger sandwiches and the nuts.  

There were some dried mangoes, dates, potato chips, grapes, and guacamole, among other things.  I'm a lucky woman! 

I just wanted to bring your attention to this amazing new food vendor in North Bay, the North Star Traveling Cafe!   You can find their food at the Saturday Farmers' Market and, although I can't eat it, I hear it is delicious!
