What I Eat - Day Sixty-Nine

Breakfast - Oatmeal

I picked up this instant oatmeal mix at Independent Grocers.   This is a good opportunity to remind everyone what has happened with labeling laws in Canada.  The government has placed a restriction on labeling any oat products as gluten-free.   This means gluten-free products containing oats can't advertise anywhere on their packaging that the product is gluten-free (instead they say they are 'wheat-free').   Since the company that produces this instant oatmeal is called Glutenfreeda, they have actually been forced to remove their company name from their packaging!   Oats contain a protein called avenin, which is very similar to gluten in structure, which leads to about 1 in 5 people with Celiac disease being unable to tolerate oats.  

I ate this breakfast with a couple of mandarin oranges.

Applesauce!

I got the organic Ida Red apples (pictured above) from Springmead Farm through Dalew Farms.  I ate some fresh, made an apple crisp, and made a large pot of apple sauce (pictured below).   To make the apple sauce I cored the apples, cut them into wedges, and boiled them with a bit of water at a medium high heat until they were soft, stirring occasionally.   It usually takes at least an hour, depending on how many apples you are using.  I used an immersion blender in the sauce after I was done cooking it to make sure there weren't any hard peels left.   This sauce was so delicious it didn't really need any sugar or cinnamon, which I was surprised by!

Lunch - Cabbage and Apple Dish

This surprisingly delicious dish is simply made with red cabbage, apples, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper (if you want it spicy).   I cut up the cabbage and apples and put them in my dutch oven with a few tablespoons of water.   I leave it at a medium heat until the cabbage is soft and the water has evaporated, stirring occasionally.  If you use a softer apple it will dissolve into a sauce, but some apples will keep their form.  At the end I add the apple cider vinegar (a few tablespoons) and the cayenne pepper (to taste).  You can top this dish with seeds or nuts for some added protein.

Dinner - Burger, Salad, and Chips

This was a delicious dinner prepared for me by some friends!  I ate a hamburger without the bun (topped with mustard and homemade ketchup), romaine lettuce mixed with Renee's Poppy Seed Dressing, and potato chips.

    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!
