Pre-workout starter (this morning)



Hello!

First, thank you for continuing to read my blog. Posts have been sparse of late and yet, I see there remain readers. Much appreciated.

Second, cucumbers this season are not coming along as well as last year's crop. However, we still have time to see if anything materializes. 

Last, but not least, below is today's featured photo. I will see my personal trainer, Matt Rossbach of mLAB Fitness, later this morning and I chose eggs for protein with onions and red pepper for flavor to tide me over before the workout. I drank a cup of Almond Breeze blend almond/coconut milk, 450 mg calcium in 1 cup. At some point this morning, probably after training, I'll eat fruit with yogurt. I like making the eggs over easy because I can monitor how much of the yolk I eat at one time. 

Turns out, I needed something more than the featured eggs and added a rice cake with a spoonful of almond butter. That should suffice until after this morning's training session. 

Enjoy!

    What a thoughtful and delicious looking breakfast ….pre workout. It makes me rethink working out on an empty stomach.

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!
