My Vegetarian Diet Day ? 5 21/07/12

      Here we are back  again. Once more writing this a day late so... started off with still nothing in the cupboard but managed to do a good shop later. Went a little over the top in the fruit and veg department but hey ho will have to eat it all now. Can i really lose weight eating as much fruit and veg as that???? Bought a strange fruit tea bread at a community celebration over the recreation ground which is surprisingly tasty, didn't get the recipe apart from it has a half pint of tea in it. Odd!


  Breakfast

      1 Banana
      1 Vegetable samosa

  Lunch

      Apricots and nectarine
      1 Wholemeal bread sandwich
 

   Brie, beetroot, tomato, onion, sweet pepper

  Afternoon tea

       2 slices of home made fruit tea bread mmmm

       1 peach yoghurt, live

  Dinner

      2 slices of pineapple

      2 slices of honeydew melon

    

      Traybake with sunflower oil

before

  

Potato, carrot, mushrooms, red onion, bell pepper, garlic 

after

mmmmmm!

 

  Supper

 

      1 slice of home made fruit tea bread

      Apricot

 

      Well there you have it. The beetroot i got vacuum packed and pickled myself, adding chilli flakes, black peppercorns and black cardamon seeds, I forgot that i had already spiced my vinegar and the beetroot is quite fierce but tasty. All in all a good days eating.

 

               Careful with your pickling and enjoy your food.

My Vegetarian Diet Day ?3 19/07/12

      Hi everybody, doing this next morning but quite early :-) yesterday did finally manage Plus1 Fukushima Food my thoughts on the Japanese starting to sell marine produce from the nuclear coast. Check it out after reading my Diet of the Day ho ho.

  Breakfast

      2 Bananas

  Lunch

      2 x wholemeal bread sandwiches

     
      Brie with chilli, tomato, onion, sweet pepper, sultanas

  Dinner

      2 slices of honeydew melon
      2 slices of pineapple

      Traybake with sunflower oil

      Butternut squash, sweet potato, potato, bell pepper, mushrooms, 
      onion



        Well there you have it, a glamour page of photos as well, i hope my diet looks more interesting than it reads. I got a real taste for the pineapple, it is just perfectly sweet and juicy at the moment. I must admit though that dinner filled me so much i couldn't even manage my supper oranges. That is the power of good food. Please spare a thought for the Fukushima residents and their food.


               So enjoy your food because you are what you eat.

                    Love from Pa
 

My Vegetarian Diet day ?2 18/07/12

  Hi, here i am again, too much walking yesterday did exhaust me and carry over until today, so it was a slow start :-)
  Diet is getting a bit repetitive and, as i thought yesterday, trying to keep up this intensity of healthy eating is a challenge. Today i cracked and had a small bar of chocolate, as well as adding pineapple and sultanas to my food.

  Breakfast

      2 Bananas

  Lunch

      2 x wholemeal bread sandwiches, brie with chilli, tomato, onion, 
      sweet pepper, sultanas.

  Snack

      40g bar of dark chocolate, 85% cocoa

  Dinner

      2 slices of honeydew melon
      2 slices of fresh pineapple 

      Traybake with sunflower oil

Before

After

      Sweet potato, butternut squash, bell pepper, mushroom, red 
      onion, garlic, salt and pepper to taste.

  Supper

      Valencia oranges

  Drinks

      Coffee, tea, sparkling water, red wine.

        There we have it, still pretty healthy and wholesome :-) with some photos i remembered to take today. Still not getting much else done about organising this blog but at least i am keeping up day to day. 

               So watch this space and enjoy your food.

                    Love from Pa 

              

My Vegetarian Diet day ?1 17/07/12

Back again and yes my diet yesterday lasted me through the night, so here's hoping today's very similar diet keeps me going as well. 
Getting a taste for oranges as a snack now :-)
  
  Breakfast

      Banana 

  Elevensies

      Piece of Jacky's ginger and choc chip cake

  Lunch

      2 brie with chilli, tomato, onion in wholemeal 
      bread sandwiches.

  Dinner

      Traybake with sunflower oil.
      Potato, Butternut squash, bell pepper, red onion,
      mushrooms. Salt and pepper to taste.

      2 slices of honeydew melon 

  Supper

      Valencia oranges

  Drinks

      Coffee, water, red wine  

        Well another healthy days eating, also done a 
      lot of walking, feeling quite shattered and am
      going to sleep well tonight :-) 
        I doubt i can keep up this intensity of
      healthiness for long, one day at a time ho ho.
        Must start taking pictures again tomorrow to add
      that touch of glamour to this blog.
        I must say though that a simple thing like cutting
      up oranges instead of peeling them makes them
      so much more accessible, crazy, i had forgotten 
      all about it.


               Eat well and enjoy 


                  Love from Pa
