What I Eat - Day Thirty-Four

7/25/2013

0 Comments

 
Another week brought another CSA basket.  This week it contained:
- 1 Butterhead Lettuce (red or green)
- 1/4 Lb. of Lettuce Mix
- 1 Bunch of Golden Chard
- 1 Bunch of Green Onions
- 1 Kohlrabi
- 1 Quart of Snap Peas
- Garlic Scapes

I ate up the snap peas right away, I should have taken a picture of them!

Breakfast - Blueberries and Toast

What can I say about blueberries and toast?  I use the Becel vegan margarine on my toast.   I'm not saying margarine is even remotely good for you, but I just can't seem to give up having 'buttered' toast every once in a while.

Lunch - Sweet and Spicy Golden Chard

I love chard so much, I took advantage of Field Good Farms trade-in policy, and traded the head of lettuce in this week's box for another bunch of chard (pictured below).   I chopped up an organic apple, rinsed and sliced the chard, and then put them in my cast-iron dutch oven with a bit of water, sprinkled cayenne pepper on top, and left it at a medium-high until the water evaporated.   Last but not least, I put some raw pumpkin seeds on top.

Dinner - Ginger Collard Greens and Lentils

This dish is really delicious, it's been a favourite of mine for years!   It's a really substantial dish with a tonne of flavour, you won't regret trying it out.   There's a reason it is referred to as a comfort food. 

Collard Greens Ingredients
-half of a red onion, finely chopped
-large chunk of fresh ginger, skin removed and finely chopped
-six carrots, peeled and diced
-one bunch of collard greens, rinsed and sliced into strips (instructions here)

Collard Greens Instructions
-put the onion, ginger, and carrots in the bottom of a pan with a bit of oil and cook until onion starts to brown
-add the collard greens and 2-3 cups of water
-bring to a boil, and then reduce to a medium heat while the water evaporates, and the collard greens soften and cook through

Lentil Ingredients
(I made this dish at someone else's place, so I had to use their ingredients, and it turned out pretty well)
-one cup of brown lentils
-2 1/2 cups of water
-one half of a red onion, chopped
-2 sticks of cinnamon
-3 tsp. turmeric 

Lentil Instructions
-cook onion in a bit of oil
-add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil
-simmer until lentils have absorbed all the water
-remove cinnamon sticks and add a bit of salt

    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!
