Tenderloin pork chop with Penzey's Krackow Nights seasoning on it (highly recommend), wild rice pilaf, and I found that I could have a half cup of unsweetened applesauce for 50 calories, so I'm having that too, along with a pill to let me digest the fruit sugar. I adore applesauce with pork.
I've learned to abide my food touching sometimes, but I think that's what little dishes were made for. I have the cutest little glass prep bowls and they work fine for a little bit of veggie or the applesauce I just had.3 -
It was Greek lamb day today (Easter Sunday).... there was (excessive) lamb consumption! There was lack of any counting
(sorry)

Last night I made chicken fajitas and corn on the cob. I load up the fajitas with peppers and onions in order to have more food for less calories. Topped them with a little cheese and sour cream. I would have had avocado but I seem to not have bought any. Or I bought some and left them at the store or something.2

Today lunch is chicken, jalapeno, and cheese quesadillas. That's our usual Monday lunch, which works out to 416 calories. I like my meals to be between 400=500 calories.3

Chicken quesadilla (no jalapenos on mine, way too hot for me.)

I can eat the alliums: Onions, garlic, green onions, leeks, etc. I can eat garden peas and snow peas, but they aren't something I would eat a huge amount of at a time. Carrots are okay but I am not fond of them either raw or cooked; like peas, I tend to be good with them in a stew or soup, but not steamed as a side dish. I can eat the nightshades: potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant.... but if I eat them on a very regular basis my arthritis pain flares up, so I tend to space them out and avoid potatoes as a side dish most of the time, with tomatoes and peppers more frequent but not every day. (This is partly why I meal plan.) The cruciferous vegetables are largely right out; I can have about a tablespoon of cooked spinach, and about a half a cup of iceberg lettuce, or a leaf of leaf lettuce on a sandwich. I know from painful experience that a few broccoli bits, a few shreds of raw or cooked cabbage in salad or soup, or more than that tablespoon of baby spinach will cause me a great deal of trouble. As it is, if I have a salad with that half cup of lettuce as the base two days running, I'll have issues. Every single cooked bean I have tried gives me grief, as do lentils.
I cook vegetables for my partners, who like them. I'm good at cooking them. I just wish I could eat them because it would be better for me and there are good dishes that have my forbidden foods in them that I can't eat.3 -
What about squash, Zuchinni, or pumpkin?....can you eat fruits or do they cause problems, too?...does it matter if the vegetables are fresh or canned?....can you put vegetables in baked goods like muffins or breads?....I find all of this very interesting!...my husband suffers from severe RA and I have been trying to convince him a special diet might help with the pain....thanks for all of your great information!1

interesting how different foods create an inflammatory response in our joints! The nightshade foods don't bother me at all - but gluten - especially wheat - leaves me moaning and groaning getting out of bed the morning after, and knees that feel like they are on fire. I'm not sure about oatmeal because that just puts me to sleep so I avoid it unless I'm needing a nap (and an oatmeal cookie)

I can eat squashes, but I don't much like their texture.
Fruit is a problem because I'm fructose intolerant. Now, I recently learned that they make a pill that I can take with it, like Lactaid, but I still have the problem that I'm seriously out of the habit of eating fruit (It started giving me a headache and nausea at 13) and often that it's calories that aren't satisfying, especially when I'm trying to eat at 1240 and am having to be careful and get the most of the calories.4 -
Dinner tonight was Lean Cusine French Bread Pizza....I am whipped!0

Salmon and leftover grains/greens salad for us!1
