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.

Ok my lunch today. It won't be everyone's cup of tea but here goes. 50 grams roast beef lunch meat 1/4 cup German selleriesalat (like sauerkraut but with celery root) 1 baby be 1.5 "stiratini" hard bread sticks Sriracha sauce for dipping the bread sticks The breadsticks are relatively low carb, go down easy, and ease the craving for bread. 190 calories and 16 grams of protein.

Ooh looks yummy to me. I'd never thought to dip bread until sriracha. That's brilliant!

Turkey with cranberries(almost no sugar), 2 tbsp of sweet potato casserole, 2 tbsp stuffing and then2 bites of an apple cake i made (i still enjoy cooking just eat much less) mmmm and i was very active today

So here's my lunch photo

I'm only joking.. Just in a playful mood.. My lunch was a goats cheese, pulled ham, mushroom and spinach omelette thing cooked in egg whites and two whole eggs.. I make a big pan, slice into 6 and that gives me 6 lunches.. Works out at 151 cal (also a teeny bit of coconut oil)

Everyone's food choices are soooo exotic! Makes my quiche Lorraine (with turkey bacon) that I'm making today sound downright boring!

Seriously?? I would love to meet you! Lemme know when. I travel a lot but with some advance notice, I can wrangle my schedule sometimes. Oh yay! :)

Do you ever go to the Wildflower Festival in Richardson? It is in May. My husband and I have gone for the past several years. This year will be at about my six month mark. Oh, yeah! If nothing else maybe breakfast in Dallas on Sunday morning.

Hah! You know something interesting? Your real lunch looked a lot more appetizing to me than the pancakes. Our taste buds have changed haven't they?

Your real lunch sounds delicious.

I don't know, a quiche sounds good. Good for you, easy to eat, and you'll probably have leftovers for work tomorrow. Post a pic for sure :)

I love that people are posting pics of their food. Gives all of us creative ideas so we don't get stuck in a rut. Looking forward to more pictures celebrating all the wonderful, healthy, sleeve-friendly things we get to enjoy.

You know I've never even heard of the wildflower festival. What is it?

Yes I have tried it with other fillings such as chicken, bacon and mackerel (not all at the same time) but the pulled ham definitely the most tasty option!! Taste buds sure have changed.. I had my eye on the bottle of baileys (cream liqueur) more than the pancakes.. :) I'm like you gamergirl.. I love cooking its the best thing in the world - well one of the best things!!

Are you talking about having recipes? I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say"guest place"?

If you would like the recipe I would be happy to post it....Takes only a few minutes prep and 30 min to cook the berries and it tastes heavenly...Eat a protein along side it and you have a complete meal...

Sorry, that wasn't clear - yes, perhaps a guest spot for recipes

Have you checked out the recipe sharing section of the forum? I love that section, I post ENTIRELY too many recipes in there :)

I also post them on my blog, www.sleevers.wordpress.com
