Dinner is a grilled Sunshine veggie burger (many veggie burgers have lots of onions -- poison for dogs! -- but not Sunshine brand), whole wheat pasta, sauteed carrots & zucchini, garlic.

Faux hamburger, kale & banana

2007-07-11T09:01:00.000-07:00

I formed some Gimme Lean (which is essentially textured soy protein) into a hamburger patty and fried it in a little olive oil -- it really looked and smelled like meat. Then mixed it with some brown rice, kale leftover from my dinner, zucchini, a couple of teaspoons of cream cheese, and half a banana. A few pistachio nuts on top (I was eating them), and breakfast is served to rave reviews.

Peanut Butter & Fruit

2007-07-10T09:37:00.000-07:00

Peanut butter mixed with brown rice and a splash of soy milk, honeydew, apple, banana and strawberries (foraged from the reduced for quick sale bin at the co-op), and a pat of cream cheese.

Eggs and Apples

2007-07-09T07:40:00.000-07:00

For breakfast, a two egg omelette with some cheddar (I put about 1/3 aside for later), couscous with steamed carrots, yellow squash and yams, raw apple, and a sprinkling of pistachio nuts.

Sunday Morning Smorgasbord

2007-07-08T09:41:00.000-07:00

A little bit of (almost) everything that was in the fridge... Ground beef, a few bites of pastrami (I soaked it to remove the salt first), cheddar cheese, chick peas, whole wheat spaghetti, couscous, and honeydew melon!

Mixed Berries and Couscous

2007-07-03T09:10:00.000-07:00

The best thing about lending out your house to random people is that you never know what you might find when you return! One of our guests left a bag of organic mixed berries in the freezer, and F loves berries. Breakfast was couscous mixed with plain whole fat yogurt, tofu and slivered almonds, cherries (his favorite), one boiled egg, and the berries, still pretty frozen, for extra fun.

Raw beef and spaghetti

2007-07-02T19:33:00.000-07:00

More raw meat today, whole wheat spaghetti, sweet potatoes, carrots, snap peas and cream cheese.

Raw beef and cream cheese!

2007-06-30T07:29:00.000-07:00

We're at our place in the mountains in Arizona, and there's terrific organic, locally raised meat. Since I know its provenance, I feed it to F raw.

This morning's breakfast is beef, zucchini, sweet potatoes, and a few pats of cream cheese.

Cereal, Fruit & Yogurt

2007-06-25T05:25:00.000-07:00

Brown rice crispies, cantelope, 1/2 a banana, whole-fat plain yogurt, crumbled tofu, slivered almonds.

Vegetarian Blue Plate Special

2007-06-24T17:24:00.000-07:00

Today I was reading Paula Wolfert's "Mediterranean Grains and Greens" cookbook, and I ended up making Medley of Wheat Berries, Lentils and Rice with Fresh Herbs -- a delicious (and healthy!) Greek soup that also contains chick peas, anasazi beans (the recipe called for pintos but I subbed), fava beans, and lots of dill.

For dinner, F had a generous cup of the soup, plus brown rice, sauteed garlic, zucchini and celery, and grated cheddar (the end of the gift basket cheese, at last). A few chopped almonds on top made it extra festive.

Egg, Yogurt, Cereal

2007-06-20T05:52:00.000-07:00

Organic brown rice krispies again, with whole fat plain yogurt, tofu, 1/2 a granny smith apple diced, almonds, and a hard boiled egg.

Breakfast is a blur!

2007-06-19T07:39:00.000-07:00

I risked my life to get this action shot -- organic brown rice rice krispies, raspberries, granny smith apple, almonds, plain yogurt, flax seed oil.

Ahi tuna & swiss chard

2007-06-18T07:32:00.000-07:00

I poached about a pound and a half of ahi tuna, cut it into bite sized pieces, and put individual portions in the freezer for later. This morning F had ahi tuna with whole wheat penne, swiss chard & bok choy (left over from last night's dinner), and a dollop of plain, whole fat organic yogurt. If F's bowl-clanging is any indication, fish might be his very favorite meal. Even for breakfast.

Cereal

2007-06-17T08:19:00.000-07:00

This morning, F had cereal with honeydew, strawberries, avocado, 2 hardboiled eggs, and flax seed oil. It was devoured promptly.

Liver Surprise

2007-06-15T16:01:00.000-07:00

Liver (that I had cooked and frozen a couple of weeks ago), tofu, whole wheat spaghetti, celery, carrots, a few chick peas, cheddar cheese, a sprinkling of nutritional yeast, a drizzle of flax seed oil. F had a big day at the pool today, so I made him an especially hearty dinner.

Tofu, beans & veggies

2007-06-14T16:29:00.000-07:00

I had some leftover black bean, kidney bean, green bean and corn salad (with dill!), so I rinsed the dressing off of it for F. I added tofu, cooked carrots, a few strands of whole wheat spaghetti, a few almonds, a drizzle of flax seed oil, and a generous splash of chicken water. Dinner in 2 minutes.
