Does anyone here eat real food?

I love zucchini noodle salad as a side dish. It's so simple and insanely delicious!
Ribboned or Julianned zucchini (use a regular veggie peeler for ribbons or a julianne peeler for 'noodles')
equal parts olive oil and fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper
Parmesan cheese (optional but very tasty)0 -
Can I just say, since the fillets are flash frozen shortly after being caught, they're actually nutritionally 'younger' than the fresh stuff you buy
Fair point, eat lots of nice fresh fish then!0 -
I'm slowly learning the esoteric art of actual cooking. I even made my own peanut butter last week. I used to think gourmet luxury was going to the grocery store and filling my cart with every boxed sweet I could get my hands on, then going home and stuffing my face with it. Now I know real gourmet luxury is having time to find a tasty, healthy recipe online, buy the ingredients, and prepare it.
I should have figured that out decades ago, but all that shiny snack food packaging seduced me!0 -
Have you checked out Ezekiel Bread? It's still bread, but it's minimally processed and 100% whole grain. They make English Muffins and Pita Pockets, too. I use the pita pockets for sandwiches at lunch. They're only 100 calories.0

what's wrong with left overs?
All I eat is what I cook for dinner and then eggs- I typically don't eat breakfast- so lunch is either left overs- or scrambled eggs- or a can of tuna.
You're over thinking this.
Boy, I bet your farts smell wonderful!! :noway: LOL!!! :laugh:0 -
Not a clean eater, but last week I made a baked sweet potato stuffed with black beans, smoked cheese, fresh greens dressed with lemon juice, and topped with an over easy egg. It was pretty amazing, high in protein, and contained almost an entire day's worth of fiber.
I also eat a lot of pizza, a lot of taco salad, a lot of regular salad (really big ones, and always with protein), and a fair amount of stir fry.
I also had 14 pints of Ben & Jerry's in my freezer at one time.0 -
Nope. Only plastic food for me, thanks.0

Real food is over rated. I only eat the plastic fruits that people use as centerpieces.
Ahhh! ^She beat me to it0 -
Someone brought these into work today, and let me tell ya... that is NOT food!
They're actually very good. You food judgement is not welcome in this space of friendship.

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.0 -
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:
Also, try researching the Paleo diet (http://thepaleodiet.com/). Its basically what you're describing. minus the Ben & Jerry's and all other dairy. Receipes are easy to find by Googling any recipe name, but adding "Paleo" before it.0 -
no, I only eat plastic food. Nom....0

What calorie counting and recipe sharing websites did your ancestors use?
More power to you for wanting to find new recipes and cook more at home with fresh ingredients, with the occasional Ben and Jerry's thrown in. I think you will find some sensitivity toward the wording of your title and your responses from people who don't label their food, yet in practice, follow many of the same habits you are trying to instill.0 -
Today's lunch-frozen bbq pork (it better thaw fast!) atop organic spinach. Kale smoothies every day-food doesn't get more real than the kale smoothies. Thanks for the lemon chicken kale recipe! ^^^^^^^^^that sounds awesome! can't wait to try it. :bigsmile:0

I eat bread btw!0 -
I have venison stew in the crock pot right now. Yum.

Pulled pork or chicken with BBQ sauce
Balsamic vinegar braised chicken
Sauerkraut chicken
Salsa chicken0 -

Yes, I know. Please tell me what your fresh unprocessed food is made of?0 -

It's like a Pea Cheeto Puff! LOL After a few, my tongue felt funny. Just like Cheeto's.0
