Lamb meatballs, sauteed with carrot, celery, onion and spinach, seasined with pink salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. One of my favorites these days. Served over sweet potato puree.
I usually eat a huge salad for lunch. This one had shredded chicken and grated carrot, drizzled with avocado oil and salt and pepper. Macadamia nuts on the side.
Homemade kale chips. They have the same flavor profile of the roasted broccoli, so I'm really enjoying them too. I usually just de-stem, wash, and chop and bunch of kale, then spray with avo. oil and a sprinkle with pink salt. Put under a hot broiler and watch closely as it can toast pretty fast...sometimes I just let the outside or top ones get crunchy and then put the rest in the fridge to save for quick sides or salad toppings. If you want it all the turn into chips, you have to make a very thin layer or the kale will steam on itself and not get crispy.
Lovely plate of cauli puree, roasted carrots and beefalo roast. Yes, beefalo. Haggens sells it and it's grassfed meat, but a little cheaper than beef, so I've been buying it lately. The low lectins diet allows only grassfed or pastured meats. Because of the cost, I personally have not been doing 100% grassfed meat, but I try to stick with it as much as possible. You just gotta do the best you can.
Grated raw carrot. I don't like eating raw carrot sticks...I just don't enjoy them generally. I have learned that sometimes all it takes to make a food you don't want to eat more palatable is the right preparation. So sometimes I grate the carrot I'm supposed to eat. Did you know eating a whole, raw carrot every day can help balance your hormones? Raw carrot helps flush out excess estrogen; this can also make you have a more enjoyable period, since high levels of estrogen going into yoyr period is what causes cramps. Cool, huh?
This chicken stew is so, so good. I have only made it three times so far, but I will try to post a "recipe" for it soon. And eating the Paleo naan with it is really, really good. My whole family eats this meal together (which is hard to do these days) and loves it! Yay!
"Wait...this can't possibly be on your low lectins diet?!" Oh yes it is. It's a low carb, Paleo, sugar free chocolate skillet cake AND it tasted amazing. I like to use liquid stevia drops to sweeten my mug cakes, which is what I used in this. There's also coconut flour, tapioca starch, avocado oil (or complaint butter, melted), almond flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla, eggs, goat milk yogurt, and cocoa powder in it. Sprinkle on some dark chocolate, bake, and top with no sugar added coconut milk yogurt and some blanched almond butter. This is a small skillet. I think I baked it at 350 for 10-15 minutes but I dont remember for sure. I do remember it was super yummy though.
Boiled eggs over kale. Easy, nourishing meal.
Steamed broccoli and asparagus, and honey mustard chicken. Delicious.
Taco salad.
Duck egg omelet, filled with raw French Comtè cheese and spinach. Side of avocado. This was also really, really tasty, and the cheese was the first melty cheese I'd had in quite awhile so yeah...I was very happy with it.
I usually don't snack after dinner, although I do quite often have a mug cake for dessert after the kids are in bed...but sometimes you just want to party with your husband a little and this is what that looks like for me. I haven't had wine (or any alcohol) on long time, but I felt like having some, so I picked this one up. We prefer sweet wine, which I kniw has a fair amount of sugar in it, but the small amount I drink very infrequently, I don't worry about it. These plantain chips are compliant since they are fried in coconut oil and they taste great. I have a few different dark chocolates I've been eating and I really like this one.
Lettuce wrap filled with tuna, cauli puree, sweet potato puree, and roasted brussels.
Breakfast on the go: cauli puree, sweet potato puree and chicken. Gotta have those leftovers on hand to stay on track with your healthy lifestyle!
Braised beefalo, cooked with onions and garlic, serve over cauli puree, and a side of grilled asparagus. Tiny shot glass of wine. Lol That's my wine glass, a cute little gold rimmed shot glass from a thrift store.
Grilled chicken thighs, seasoned with avo. oil, garlic powder, onion powder and dried rosemary. Steamed broccoli and roasted sweets.
Sometimes, (often) my food is not fancy or pretty to look at or seems like a weird combination... today's lunch for example: chopped iceberg lettuce, seasoned with avo. oil and salt, threw on down diced avocado, and canned tuna&salmon mixed with avo. mayo, and a side of roasted broccoli. I've been craving fish lately- cold, canned wild salmon or tuna mixed with avocado mayo.
So, yeah, I'm not 100% compliant with the Plant Paradox diet, but I'm trying and I do think it's helping, so I will keep going with it.
