April 5 health and moderation

April 6th, 2016 at 04:34 pm

Breakfast: two clementines, coffee.

Lunch: big bowl of vegan chili, couple of bell pepper strips and cucumber slices.

Dinner: sesame oil stir fry of tofu, broccoli, bell peppers and onions in garlic-ginger-hoisin-soy-mirin sauce, topped with avocado, basil and peanuts, over white basmati rice.

Snack: carrot-apple-ginger juice. (My juice habit is getting expensive, but luckily it's being offset by no spending on alcohol!)

Extra activity: took a walk to get the juice (about a mile and a half total).

    I've just started doing a few more stir fry's. Yummy! It's the sauces I need the most help with.

    Do you feel an all fruit breakfast is sufficient considering the long period between evening meal and
    am? Would you consider tofu quiche, spinach salad in a wrap, VN style vegetarian roll, roasted carrots, tomatoes, sweet pepper strips...what's on offer at allrecipes.com?

    CCF: Here's the one from last night's dinner:
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    2 tsp minced ginger
    2 tablespoons hoison sauce
    2 tablespoons mirin
    1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce (or gluten free tamari)
    1 tablespoon agave syrup
    2 tablespoons water

    After you stir fry the veggies (this recipe has you doing them in stages and putting each batch in a foil covered pan), take them out of the pan (or start another pan I guess). Saute the garlic and ginger in a little oil for a minute or two, then dump the liquid ingredients in (have them premeasured). When they start bubbling, dump your stir-fry back in and toss to coat.

    snafu, that's a great question. Many say a hearty or protein rich breakfast is important. I've also been reading up on the value of fasting for the first part of the day. I just find it's the easiest meal to replace with fruit and not feel unsatisfied; if I did it with lunch or dinner I would really struggle. But I did want one meal to be just fruit, since I don't eat enough fruit usually.
