The Food Issue

Happy New Year, is everyone still eating?

I know quite a few people who are "getting back to eating properly". Us included.

Enter the Poke bowl. I believe it's a Hawaiian thing, but the only ones we've had have been Japanese themed. We've made lots of poke bowls before, but this one was the BEST.

It was a great combo of ingredients: seaweed salad, corn, mandarines, edamame, green onion, avocado, carrot, shrimp and scallops with a drizzle of Sriracha mayo, on sushi rice. And for the first time, we made our own seaweed salad.

Now, fresh out of the bag, Fundy dulse (seaweed) is rather…oceany. But once it’s marinated, it tastes just like it did from the restaurant. Delicious!

Seaweed is really good for us. I’m putting the recipe to seaweed salad in the comments.

I think it's reasonably hilarious that the last thing I posted was that I was kinda sick and I was going to start posting things that help me get better...then I posted nothing...for months! Don't worry, I've been eating. LOTS!

The day to day of leaving my employment, moving across the country to begin an entrepreneurial journey was a little stressful. And really busy. I did get myself back on track and I've somehow maintained an ulcerative colitis symptom-free existence since sometime in June. Yay me.

I might have been a little busy, but fear not, I took lots of pictures!

As usual, my goal is to inspire mealtime solutions. Whether it's a meal idea [because, come on, it's never ending], or maybe it's a doable healthier tweak to mealtime, or maybe it's getting more bang for your buck.

Take this one for example. An excellent example of a low FODMAP meal.
What's that you say?
They're easy on your digestive system and reduce bloating and abdominal pain.

Foods are ranked as zero or low FODMAP to high. When I plan a meal, especially when I'm watching these sorts of things, I eat mostly zero and low foods, like everything on this plate.

By the way, chimichurri on medium-rare flank steak is divine. Too bad I didn't post this during bbq season!

lol!
This is how I feel trying to put together our menu for the next month! I thought a week was hard. We have our last week at our home once everything has been picked up by movers, a week of travel, and two weeks of quarantine to plan for. Because 👇 this, won't work!

First Time Meal Prepping.😁😁
