What I Eat - Day Sixty-Four

Breakfast - Fried Mushrooms and Onions with Toast

I sliced up mushrooms and half of a red onion, and combined the two with avocado oil.  I put the veggies in my cast iron frying pan, covered, and left them on medium heat until they started to caramelize, stirring very infrequently.   I toasted a piece of Kinnickinnick's Sunflower Flax Rice Bread (which is gluten, dairy, and egg free), cut it into small pieces, put the vegetables over top, and then topped it all with hemp hearts.   Such a delicious and hearty breakfast!

Kombucha Tasting

So, I finally worked up the nerve to taste the secondary ferment of my kombucha from last week.   To be honest, I tasted it right before writing this week's post because I figured I'd better be brave and report back to everyone.   I had a ridiculously small amount and it tasted amazing!   About ten minutes after I drank it, my stomach felt a little bit off, but the feeling passed.  I'm going to try increasing the quantity each day and see how I feel.
