Elimination Diet Day 6

Had to do something different today to liven things up.  So I did end up switching from fish to meat.  Although I had the last of the leftover salmon and stir fry for breakfast.

  • Salmon with coconut aminos
  • Stir fry veggies
For late lunch I was pretty hungry because I waited until after 2pm to even start making it.  Luckily it came together fast.


I threw a cup of white Basmati rice into the instant pot (with a cup of water) and set it for 6 minutes on manual with a 10 minute NPR.  

Next I sauteed one chopped onion, then added three cloves of garlic (mashed), then one pound of grass-fed bixon... mixed it all up and put the lid on.

While those two (the rice and the meat) cooking, I quickly washed and cut up a head of red leaf lettuce and made a vinaigrette (oil, vinegar, salt, pepper... bland, but do-able).

By that time, all the bison was browned so I mixed it up again and added about a teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves, and allspice.  Then I threw in a generous handful of raisins.  I added salt and pepper then let that all cook together for a bit.

Put my dressed salad in a bowl...


... added some rice...


... topped it with the meat.  Mmmmmm!

  • Lettuce with oil and vinegar
  • White rice
  • Bison, onion, garlic, spices
I don't feel any different that I notice yet.  But I've not even completed a whole week of eating clean.  Sigh... I really look forward to the testing phase.  Ha ha ha!

So ... July 26th should be my first testing day, I think.  Wow, that's far off.  But if I can at least start adding nuts to my meals, that would be nice.  I'm pretty sure nuts are safe for me.

Vegan No Oil Burger Base Recipe

Vegan No-Oil Burger Base Recipe Today I wanted to make some veggie burgers (or bean burgers… ‘cause I didn’t really use veggies in the prototype other than onion and garlic). ETA: Let me clarify why I’m making my own veggie burgers.  There are a lot of healthy choices for foods in grocery stores, but a lot of it is still processed foods.  My goal is to (without going crazy or turning this into a full time job) eat whole foods as often as possible and if a meal requires a mix of ingredients, I’d rather make it myself from scratch.  Oh… I’ll be posting a follow up to this as I got a new kitchen toy recently… so stay tuned. I found a recipe online but I have to admit I am a bit lost in trying to provide a link to the original source recipe.   Apparently there’s a site called “ Deliciously Ella ” and the recipes there look great but I could find no search function nor could I find this recipe there.   Oddly enough, if you google the name of the re...

Whole Foods Plant Based No Oil Lettuce Boats

This first mention isn't the recipe... I'm just sharing about the lovely breakfast I had first.  I just peel and cut up some sweet potato or yam, drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil and mix them up (yes, there was a wee bit of oil in the breakfast... but that's not the recipe we're here for.... the oil free recipe is below... breakfast was just so yummy I wanted to mention it). Then I roast them at 400 degrees until done (30-40 mins depending on your oven).    No need for salt because… When they’re done, I remove the pan from the oven and spoon a lot of sauerkraut over them and then pop them back into the oven for about 5 more minutes. That keeps the cold sauerkraut from cooling off the potatoes, like if you just mixed them together without heating up the kraut. The sauerkraut provides more than enough salt. Mmmmm! Okay, but here’s why we’re really here today. I made these lettuce boats and they turned out so yummy I had to share. Lettuce Boats Ingredients 1 cup of ...

How It All Started

I used to pride myself on being the super low-maintenance person in almost all respects and particularly at restaurants.  I'd make faces when one of my companions became "that person" who asked the waiter a dozen questions and asked for this on the side and that on the side and "make sure they don't use oil" and "I want romaine not ice berg" and then they'd still take 30 minutes to decide what to order.  Ugh! But life has a funny way of throwing things back in our faces.  I am now "that person".  Not that I go to restaurants anymore, really, but let's start at the beginning... Last April (so it's been a year now, wow!), I decided on a whim to do an elimination diet.  If you're not familiar with that, google it, there's tons of info. What's the point or goal of an elimination diet?  To find out if there are any foods that maybe you shouldn't be having.  A certain food or food group could be an allergy for ...
