Does anyone here eat real food?

miss_jessiejane

No, I eat that plastic food that comes with tiny fake kitchens.

Because we needed yet another in a long long long line of "I eat plastic" posts? :yawn:

Well to be fair, I don't care. :flowerforyou:

Why I am I not surprised.

Because it's absurd to call food fake unless it's made of plastic? Is that why you're not surprised?

Nope.

Well that was certainly a good explanation!

It doesn't need one. It's just SSDD on myfitnesspal forums.

It really is!

I'm looking for more ideas for my lunches and dinners, BUT I only eat things that could be prepared in an ordinary kitchen using items that our ancestors would readily recognise apart from minor diversions when I go out to eat! (Ben and Jerrys!):bigsmile:

Agree@Clean Eating groups and even Paleo/Vegan/Vegetarian Groups might be helpful.

Try this recipe: http://aiplifestyle.com/creamy-crockpot-lemon-chicken-kale-soup/
I will admit, Lemon chicken kale soup did not sound appealing to me at first but this one is now a family classic!

All I eat is real food...but you have to be a friend to see my diary. I am dealing with extensive food allergies so most of my plates tend to be 40% meat, 40% veggies/fibre, and 20% starch. Perfectly steamed "naked" veggies take some getting used to but now I cannot eat them in sauces or covered in butter. One trick I use for getting whole food ideas is actually to google/search "gluten free vegan recipes"...then I just add or serve with meat.

I just book marked that soup. Thanks!

I do

some example, to cook mushrooms, I use lemon juice instead of oil. I grill meat and chicken on a pancetta so I am not using fat

I use herbs intead of salt

My new passion is brocolli slaw. It is in the produce section with the bagged already cut/sliced veggies. I made spaghetti for the kiddos this week and instead of using white pasta for mine I used the brocolli slaw. I opened the bag, added a little ollive oil, a little water to the bottom of the pan and sauteed it until it was slightly tender. Then used it just like noodles. Last night, i fixed it again only this time I used alfredo sauce and a rotisserie chicken I had gotten from the grocery store de-skinned and de-boned and had in my freezer. Made nice leftovers both times for mine and my hubbys lunch.

Sorry, you lost me there. What is brocolli slaw?

For a tabbouleh recipe, I'm not the best person to ask for recipes, because I tend to futz around with ingredients until I like the results. I usually start with something like the recipe below, but use more lemon juice and less olive oil to save some calories, and increase the chopped veggies and herbs. Combine the oil, lemon juice, and crushed garlic into a vinaigrette. Let the cracked wheat steep in hot water until soft. (You can use quinoa instead of bulgur for a change.) Dump it all together and let it sit for 30 minute or longer before digging in.

I read that tabbouleh is really supposed to be a parsley salad, so be generous with the parsley.

Original recipe makes 8 servings
1 cup bulgur
...................
feta or goat cheese crumbles as desired

That's the sort of salad I could eat happily :bigsmile:

We make nearly every food we put in our mouths from scratch! Except when we eat out at restaurants. Want to live longer? eat a real food not frozen, fried etc haha, eat those plants! I often eat stews and arrays of vegetables. Sometimes meat but it's occasionally. There are a lot of choices of stews or soups that are very good for your health, filling, and are pretty customizable to your taste...

I'd try grubs and cattail roots.

geckospot

Grate broccoli instead of or in addition to cabbage. Add all your other slaw ingredients. Yum!

I eat grub all the time, hey ho, I'm British.
What on earth are cattail roots? My cat has no roots on her tail.
