Today we went grocery shopping and I was able to get some quinoa and rice noodles so that I don't have to eat brown rice all the time! I also got a variety of fruits and vegetables. There was no oat milk so I had to get almond milk instead but I'll manage. I got... Continue Reading →
Trying to Enjoy Mushrooms and Summer Squash – The Plan
I was once again limited in some ways by what the grocery store had in stock, though it was definitely better than the last time we went shopping when we had to go to two different stores to find what we needed. We are now good on food for another two weeks! I wasn't necessarily... Continue Reading →
GERD Elimination Diet – Day 5
Breakfast The same as yesterday. Oats, cinnamon, vanilla, oat milk, cashew butter, mango. Nearly 400 calories. Lunch Again, same as yesterday except the vegetables were a bit different. Tuna, brown rice, vegetables. I did add extra olive oil because I think I actually need more fat. This was about 350 calories. Dinner I made turkey... Continue Reading →
GERD Elimination Diet – Day 4
No photos today because I didn't really do anything new. Breakfast Usual oats with oat milk, cashew butter and cinnamon, but this time I added a dash of vanilla, and it really made a difference. That's going to be the norm from now on. I ate some mango too but I kept it separate this... Continue Reading →
GERD Elimination Diet – Day 3
Breakfast Oats with oat milk and cashew butter again, this time with blueberries. They had been in the freezer too long though I think so they weren't that good, and I'm not the biggest blueberry fan anyway. They only really get used for blueberry muffins, which I haven't made in a while. I really hope... Continue Reading →
GERD Elimination Diet – Day 2
Breakfast I ate oats for breakfast again, this time with more oat milk and less cashew butter (I think there was too much yesterday, in terms of both taste and fat content). About a tablespoon is, I find, an appropriate amount for a normal serving of oats (half a cup dry). I topped my oats... Continue Reading →
GERD Elimination Diet – Day 1
Breakfast I made oats with oat milk. I tried the oat milk separately; it's pretty inoffensive tasting so that's good! I added a little cinnamon, and topped with raspberries (previously frozen) and cashew butter. I mixed oat milk and water to try and keep the fat content down but I don't think that was really...

Trying to Enjoy Green Beans and Sugar Snap Peas – Results
This is a follow up to my earlier post. Green Beans I read that you can roast green beans in the oven and make them crispy so that they are like french fries. I did not expect them to taste exactly like fries, but I did expect them to get crispy and they did not.... Continue Reading →
Trying to Enjoy Green Beans and Sugar Snap Peas – The Plan
These were not the vegetables I was planning to buy this week. I knew that the grocery stores were a little nuts but I thought I had come up with a very smart plan. I decided we would shop at Sprouts (a farmers market type grocery store), because we mostly needed fruit and vegetables anyway,... Continue Reading →
Trying to Enjoy Sweet Potato, Asparagus and Zucchini – Results
This is a follow up to my earlier post which can be found here. Sweet Potato So, I think I really just don't like sweet potato. I cut it up and roasted it in the oven and, like I have always thought, it is just far too sweet. So sweet that it's sickly. It's not... Continue Reading →
