My Lunch: A Pictorial Attempt To Show You Life Will Be Normal

  • Popular Post

If you consider eating Indian food normal that is :)

So if you're worrying you won't be able to eat or enjoy your food or be normal? Here's what I made for lunch today. Brown rice for the kids, ground beef curry, cucumber/tomato/Greek yogurt salad, palak paneer (spinach. with a homemade cheese). Apart from the rice, all good for us sleevers to eat.

I sometimes see people thinking they won't enjoy food, or that they can only have baked chicken and steamed vegetables. SO not true. I make Indian, Thai, Ethiopian, Greek etc all the time.

What is true however, is that my two kids (23 and 13) and my husband and I all ate--and we finished about a fourth of the food you see here :)

Feel free to post pics of what you're enjoying today that is sleeve friendly.

Gamergirl,you have me drooling over here over those veggies. Since the sleeve, I love the veggies. I have to take dinner pics too. I had some mashed roasted butternut squash with a dot of butter and cinnamon last night, yummers! Thanks for sharing.

I had this yesterday minus the mustard and it was so good. I also added it to my one egg omelette this morning, good!

Taco meat topped with refried beans and lots of cheese, green beans with onions and bacon. Yum!post-180691-1417357513299_thumb.jpg

Now that is a fest for sleevers. Again, those veggies look delish. Thx for making me drool again lol.

I am having skinless Tandoori chicken with some kind of veggie for lunch or dinner. I will post a pic later.

I changed my meal plan. After cooking a roasted leg of lamb for the family, I decided to have that instead of the Tandoori chicken. Here's the picture. I had roasted lamb and cabbage. Didn't finish the cabbage.

Looks very tasty! How did you make the lamb?

My hubby brought home a lamb leg. I trimmed the fat. I always put a bunch of slits throughout the leg and stuff it with fresh garlic. I also seasoned it with a Mediterranean season mix,salt and fresh oregano. I wrapped the whole leg with lots of foil and baked it on 350 for like 3 hours. I heart me some lamb. That was the only food that I was missing in my early post op stages.
