RE: Whole30 - Day 30 – All done.....sort of
Thanks @boxcar. Nice meeting you too. Caffetto has nice ambiance and that almond milk latte was heaven. I'm happy to hear your wife has had such good results with the AIP diet. I will definitely take a look. @jayna is right, autoimmune appears to run in our family, rheumatoid arthritis with our dad and Epstein Barr and other diseases with our oldest sis. If diet can help, I'm in. I'm interested in your choice of a plant based diet. Was that driven by health, conscience, religious or other considerations?
With the whole grain free thing, it is difficult to find foods that are filling and satisfying all of the time. A couple of tricks that we recently discovered I want to share with you. Frozen yuca is really cheap and delicious and fairly easy to prepare. I buy it at Little India in NE Minneapolis but have also found them at a mexican grocery store too. Its a good option instead of potatoes for starchiness. I am currently trying my hand at writing a steemit food blog with yuca and a cilantro sauce. We'll see how it goes. Also, sweet potato noodles can be found at asian grocery stores. They have the same texture as rice noodles. These are some of our new comfort foods.
I started eating plant based for a few reasons. I first stopped eating meat in my early 20's after reading Gandhi's Autobiography. I thought that Gandhi was pretty cool. Then I got into environmental and animal rights stuff a little bit and when I gave up dairy, i felt much better and just kind of stuck with it ever since.
Thanks @boxcar, just seeing this now. Sweet potatoes noodles and frozen yucca. I’ll temember that. I have a good food co-op near me that would carry them. Is your food blog in Steemit? I’ll take a look. I’m Interested in how the yucca is prepared.
My fave plant comfort food right now is roasted butternut squash. Doused in olive oil, garlic and herbs and slow roasted, it is sweet and crispy on the outside and, at least to me, almost irresistible.
Happy cooking!
Actually, I think I can make the sweet potatoe noodle myself with a spiralizer. I’m making beet noodles with it this week. Better and better.
