About a month after I became lax with my eating habits I started having some health challenges. I prayed and asked the Lord what to do. And I was reminded of what I already know is right - eating right and exercise! So, I am returning to cooking with NO: milk, cheese, refined sugar, wheat, red meat, pork, oil, or salt, bleached or white grains and flours.
Easy Breakfasts and Dinners
So this week I actually have 2 menus. One is for the children and the other is my plant strong eating plan. Because of the additional food prep I will keep breakfast and lunch for the children very simple. Breakfast will either consist of hot or cold cereal; or, it will be my easy - yet delicious - eggs, potato and toast. And lunch will be various kinds of sandwiches on homemade bread served with a fruit or quick pizza.
Plant Strong Anytime Meals - served with additional fruit or veggies (if needed)
- Microwaved sweet potato with raisins, nuts, and sweet potato spices
- Slow cooker beans
- Stir Fry - without oil, with tofu
- Tuna on a corn tortilla
- Mashed bean tacos with nutritional yeast
- Salad full of nuts, fruits, and veggies - with mashed avocado and lemon juice or hummus in place of salad dressing
- Steamed fish, baked potato
- Fruit and veggie smoothies
- Homemade granola
- Scrambles eggs with veggies and beans (one of my faves)
I have never been big on "breakfast foods" vs. "dinner foods". I will eat whatever strikes my fancy any time of day. So that is why I called these anytime meals. I will eat variations of the foods listed above plus snacks like: air popped popcorn sprinkled with nutritional yeast, raw fruits, and veggies dipped in homemade hummus without oil and without tahini.
Dinner for the Children - served with bread (if needed) and a vegetable
- Baked BBQ chicken
- Chicken fajitas
- Honey BBQ ribs
- Pinto beans and rice
- Bean and cheese tacos
- Homemade cheese pizza
- Hotdogs on homemade buns
