My “Real Foods” Diary (Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011)
Today is October 29, 2011. By reader request, I logged all of my food today so I can show you an example of the foods I might eat in a typical day as part of my “additive-free,” REAL FOODS lifestyle. Today was a little unusual because we ate a really late breakfast and I took an afternoon nap; so this is a bit less food than I eat in an average day, I suppose. No worries, I’ll blog about other days in the future, too, to give you a better idea 🙂 (Click any pictures to enlarge!)
Breakfast: Eggs fried in coconut oil; sweet potatoes sauteed in coconut oil and seasoned with Chipotle powder and salt; pineapple
Snack: Pineapple
Lunch: Salad with grilled chicken breast, red peppers and homemade Italian Dressing
Snack: none (took a nap!)
Dinner: Leftover chili, celery
Evening snack: Pistachios, cantaloupe
Bedtime snack: banana
Chopping Fresh Pineapple…It’s EASY!
My First Time Canning Solo!
Today marks an important milestone in my life, and I feel it’s appropriate to share it with all of my loyal readers. I conquered a personal fear today – – pressure canning alone!
To some of you this will sound silly, I know. And others of you will understand exactly where I’m coming from – a place of fear of things exploding. LOL!
After more than half a dozen canning experiences with my good buddy, Chad…I finally ventured out on my own today to can 4 jars of smoked chicken broth and 1 jar of green beans from the garden.
I’m pleased to share the  following results:
- Nothing exploded
- Everthing sealed properly
- No one got burned
- I beamed with pride 😉
