collected pictures 1

    Hi been a long time and as you might have noticed I have gone gluten free and started a new gluten free blog.
    So I am just uploading collected pictures of baking since we last spoke to tidy up so to speak.
Who knows what the future may bring?

  

Chocolate tart

Blueberry cookies

A small slice of chocolate tart

    Here is a short selection of my diet as it was, in July 2012 if I am reading the mobile date correctly.
    Doesn't it look healthy and fairly minimal gluten by coincidence.
    As a matter of interest, if anyone is interested, I have gone down from 95k to 85k now. That is weight, not salary unfortunately.
    So here is some good looking tray bakes and other snacks. I will leave out the plates of egg, chips and beans and bars of chocolate that interrupted my perfect diet hee hee.

   
    A nice little before and after tray bake featuring sweet potatoes and butternut squash if memory serves me.

Tasty looking tray bake

Another tasty wholesome before and after tray bake

    Now for some tasty sandwiches, 

I'm going to have to practice my bread making to get a good gluten-free sandwich loaf.

Do I know how to make a great sarnie or what?

Home made jam! Apple and blueberry if memory serves me well

Another great sandwich from Pa

     And some nice fruity snacks to cleanse the palate

    Self explanatory I think but I'm getting peckish just posting it. 

    A little bit of fun to finish today I think.

Playing with your food is great fun

     Well if anyone finds and reads this thanks for looking and remember to taste and enjoy whatever you eat.

    Just found most of these pictures in previous post DOH!

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 5 28/06/12

   Well yesterdays kerfuffle needed sorting out, which involved dashing into town early, threw my schedule right out and involved a lot of walking, exhausted me and needed a lay down in afternoon then early dinner.

Breakfast

   Mug of coffee with milk

Brunch

   1       Small banana 
   1       Pint of water
   300g Yoghurt

Lunch

   220g  Baked beans (as before) eaten from tin with
   20g    Brie

Dinner

                              Noodle stir fry

                    
   1 dsp Sunflower oil
   22g    Sultanas
   111g  Free range egg noodles (as before)
   pinch Cumin
   pinch Salt
   Mug of tea with milk

Supper

   15g    Brie cheese
   200g  Yoghurt
   3        Blueberries
   handful of sultanas  (sorry, unscientific dietific)
   Mug of tea with milk

Evening

   Pint of water
   Mug of tea with milk

Midnight feast

   104g  Beetroot
   35g    Brie cheese
   Mug of tea with milk 


   
   Looks like i am eating a lot of Brie, the only easy munchy in the fridge, will have to think about that.
   Yes, there are a lot of noodles in my diet, I hope that is a good thing. I am trying to cut out bread products as my main carb. Noodles and potatos are replacing, though i have now finished that bag of spuds. Don't normally buy reds but have enjoyed them and they haven't sprouted as quickly as whites normally do.
   Would type more but i am involved in a long winded and irritating internet 'chat' with my mobile phone providers. Wishing I hadn't had so much coffee today. Grrr.

   Have fun people and whatever you are eating today, remember to appreciate it. 

      love from Pa
