Today's breakfast

Thank you very much for your interest in my blog.  It is heartwarming!

This morning's breakfast included an egg, one slice of gluten-free toast with a bit of cinnamon sprinkled on top, about 3/4 cup of FAGE yogurt (FAGE low-fat or 0% fat is what I use and that brand tends to be low-carb), 10 red grapes, and a small portion of sauteed vegetables including some of the Asian Long Beans featured earlier this week. 

I also drank a glass of water with about a scoop of Jay Robb Egg White Protein Powder mixed into it.  I'm not advocating that powder, sharing fyi.  I actually use that egg white protein to increase my calorie intake...but that's another story.

I don't know about you but I like to start the day out with a strong meal.  That doesn't work for everyone.  Also, although it has been said of my beverage tastes that "water is my favorite drink", I need to more diligent about drinking 8 - 10 glasses of water per day.  Thus, it helps to mention it. 

It is terrific connecting with you.  Have a wonderful day.  Happy eating!

    This breakfast looks delicious and so beautifully designed on the plate. I can see how you would savor each morsel. I know that you enjoy a "strong" breakfast. I am not a great breakfast eater, but certainly would enjoy this meal. Just curious, do you focus on eating ....without reading, television, or another diversion? Enjoy!

      So glad you like the post, Bobbi. Actually, I usually focus on eating except that for dinner we sometimes eat watching television.

Homemade Hummus

 Dear Readers, I hope a few of you are still connected. It would be nice to hear from you.  Today, I finished an easy homemade hummus recipe. Hummus--anything made from beans or peas--is by nature not low carb. However, in moderation it is a wonderful addition to the diet.  https://www.inspiredtaste.net/15938/easy-and-smooth-hummus-recipe / My version looks similar to the one with the recipe's post. It is mild for February in Champaign.  Hope you are able to enjoy the day. Happy eating! Faye

Cold soft tofu dish

Image
 Hello, I hope you are staying cool during what, at least in Champaign, is hot weather.  Today, I prepared a cold dish made with silken soft tofu, 3 scallions finely sliced, 1/2 teaspoon (or so) of toasted sesame oil, and a tablespoon of soy sauce (can use coconut amino if you don't use soy.)  I added toasted sesame seeds, listed as optional. You may add other ingredients but the basic recipe was delicious. Refrigerate or eat right away. One thing to keep in mind is that, apparently, silken tofu crumbles easily. I look forward to eating this dish as part of tomorrow's Shabbos lunch. Take care and stay well. Faye

Odd combination?

Thank you for your patience. Food choices of late have not inspired me to post. Tonight begins Shavuot . It is customary to eat dairy foods on this holiday. Thus post's photo features gluten free pizza and a slice of cheesecake. Salad was also part of the meal.  The pizza basically covered my carb portion of the evening. I only had a nimble of cheesecake as I don't think it is gluten free or low carb. However, for tradition, why not?  Happy Shavuot! I hope you are well. Please continue to be careful out there even though some of the COVID-19 restrictions are being lifted. To your good health!
