Dinner: honey-mustard baked salmon (equal parts honey and mustard brushed over a filet, baked at 450 F for about 12 minutes), brown rice, and a sad salad with vinaigrette. I need to make a late-night grocery run for some more green vegetables.
I made a stir-fry for dinner with chicken breast, zucchini, green beans, and a bunch of seasonings/oils including sesame oil, chili paste, tamari, rice wine vinegar, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper, and black and white sesame seeds…. But, unfortunately as soon as I sat down I realized I *completely* ruined my appetite taste-testing during baking, so I’m going to save this for later.
Five-minute dinner: salad with cucumber, sprouts, and red pepper topped with chicken and hummus
For dinner, I dusted off the slow-cooker to try to cook up a grass-fed chuck roast I brought home from Tennessee. I added a bunch of chopped tomatoes, onions, tomato paste, red wine, some spices like cumin and bay leaves, and let the whole thing cook for four hours.
Everything that comes out of a slow-cooker kind of always looks like stew or slop but, I’m going to keep using it (or my Sous Vide Supreme!) for all this pastured meat to get it tender.
Then on the side I had some steamed green beans again because I’m trying to get through a big batch I bought before it goes bad.
Insanely early dinner because I’ve got to leave for the theater soon: baked lemon pepper tilapia, sweet potato with cinnamon, and steamed green beans tossed with olive oil. Feeling back on track and even-keeled again!
Dinner is this huge bowl of red veggie curry… I’ve been craving a Thai-style curry forever.
I ordered a strawberry-mango smoothie at this pan-Asian restaurant and it came out with tapioca bubbles at the bottom. Not mad at that!
Dinner is the leftover lobster from my lunch over a salad with cucumber, celery, a few pecans, and grapes (impulsive addition — could be a bad choice, we’ll see).
Just trying to stay healthy, fit, and sane in a world that is often none of these.
This blog is about healthy food, fitness, body image, self care, recovery, weightlifting, and all that kind of stuff.
After years of obsessive calorie-counting, bad habits, and worse self-image, I'm choosing to get better... So bear with me as I retool this blog a bit.
