I can't believe how hungry I am today!!  maybe it has to do with the fact that I am running out of food here & not sure if I can get out to go get more.



can you make broths to sip on?

Alas, no.  I'm trapped in the nursing home with my caregivee.  *is that a word?*  No cooking facility.  But I'm not really out of food, just thinking that it's getting low.  Since the lady isn't able to eat right now, I'm eating her meals for her.  I wish that she had better taste in food though.

Potty, you're in the neighborhood.  Bring me somadat food, wouldja???

Hey Pots - I've been taking the dogs for a walk / jog / run and not been to the gym. However, I have been following my food plan very well!!!

I read something about eating boring for the first two meals and then being more flexible for the evening meal. I"ve been doing that.

Breaky: Hot cereal with fruit and nuts (cause you are what you eat), lunch is 2 of the following: soup, salad, sandwich... and then dinner is a protein, a carb, and a veggie. 2 or 3 healthy snacks in between! I'm cooking up a storm... that's why y'all are snowed in!

Stay warm, and have some good thick veggie soup!

Nice job, Sunny!
I've cheated a couple of times on my diet......Sat night when I got home from a 15-hr shift of driving in the blizzard I was starving.....hardly got to eat anything during the shift so I ate cheddar cheese popcorn/drank 3 wine coolers......YUMMY!
Last night I had an extra helping of light frozen yogurt...but for the most part I've been eating healthy. I did have my brown rice/green beans for dinner last night but I added some spicy tomato sauce for variety. Another YUMMY!
I printed recipes for "Garden Vegetable Soup, Baked Peppers Florentin & Tuna Noodle Casserole". I might just cook these!

I'm curious about something.

Are there folks here that identify as being an addict? I know that sugar / white flour really messes with my system, gives me horrible cravings for more and more and more junk. When I don't have it in the house, I do really well, but I feel like an alcoholic around sugar and stuff. IF it's in front of me, it's dang near impossible to avoid. If I have just a taste, it's dang near impossible to stop. Other folks have that?

For some reason, this is an addiction that seems to have passed me by for the most part.  I have had times in my life that a little refined carb led to more & more.  Even the artificial sweeteners could do that to me, so that I would have 5 or 6 cans of diet coke during a day.  Lately I don't seem to be bothered by it though.  I'm not much for sugar anyway.  It has to be something really special for me to eat it.  Like a chocolate babka or timtams or my sister's homemade Christmas cookies.  Yummmmmmy!!!  So with those things, I take a small serving & put the rest away out of sight.  I'm old so I can forget it's there.

It's good to see how well some of the folks here are doing, and I am so proud of those of you who are hanging in there, even with some struggles.

Haven't touched base in a while, so I thought I'd drop in. I'm right at a 70 lb loss in 7 months, so I'm doing ok, I think. Most of it has been on a paleo/herder diet (paleo with the addition of a bit of goat milk). I got myself a pair of FiveFingers shoes, and love them. I dropped the gym, and started doing a "natural movement" workout, including (for my fitness level) some walking and tree climbing/bouldering, as well as some lifting and hauling. So far, it's working pretty well. I'm gaining strength, my balance is improving even with the whole MS issue, my flexibility is increasing exponentially, and I'm back to spending more time outside.

I'm consumed with preparing for the upcoming move, which is why folks aren't seeing more of me. Occasionally, I have the luxury of a day off (like today), but, in general, I'm doing my best to ride the wave (and occasionally thinking I need a better surfboard!).

Here's to all of you -- may you do more than survive... may you thrive!

Depends on what you consider "healthy". I'm on a paleo kick, which works for me, so I was experimenting this weekend and added two amazingly easy new soups, a super-easy crockpot stew, and a new dried-pepper-varietal chili to my repertoire. So here's to sharing.

Wild Boar Stew

1 lb wild boar stew meat (or boar flank, cut in stew-sized pieces)
3 carrots
2 kohlrabi
2 butternut squash knobs, seeds removed (save the solid top portion -- we'll use them in a later recipe)
1 yellow onion
5 cups water
2 cups red wine
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon red pepper (optional)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
salt to taste

Add all ingredients to slow cooker. Simmer for 10 hours on low heat.

Califlower-Leek Soup (Replaces potato-leek soup)

1 large head cauliflower (I really like the varietal called "Cheddar")
2 large leeks
3 stalks fresh dill, finely chopped
7 cups chicken stock
1 cup white or rose wine (can replace with another cup chicken stock if you don't want the wine)
2 teaspoons dried sage
Salt to taste
Up to 4 oz fresh chevre (optional)

Chop cauliflower into florets. Carefully wash leeks to remove all sand, then slice into 1/4 inch slices. Add chicken stock and simmer on low heat for 4 hours. Puree. Add dill and sage, and simmer for another 4 hours to reduce.

If you want to make this "creamy", once it's done cooking, you can add up to 4 oz of chevre, stirred into the final soup. I thought it was pretty good both ways, but decided, in the end, to leave it without the cheese.

Golden Root Soup
(Ok, this one is really high meat, so if you're avoiding meat or fat, this isn't the soup to make)

1/2 lb bacon ends, finely chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 butternut squash solid tops (see, told you we'd use them!), split and cut into large chunks
3 carrots, cut into large chunks
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks (sensing a theme here???)
1 lb spicy italian-style sausage links (I used locally-made boar and venison sausage), casings removed
4 cups hazelnut milk
3 cups unsweetened coconut beverage (not coconut milk -- this stuff)
2 teaspoons turmeric
1/2 teaspoon red pepper
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt to taste (I didn't add any, because the bacon and sausage added plenty for my tastes)

Saute bacon and onions until onion is translucent. Add to crockpot with squash, carrots, and sweet potato. Add hazelnut milk and coconut beverage. Simmer for 4 hours on low heat. After 4 hours, add sausage links, whole. Do not break up or crumble... just lay them on top of the soup.

After 8 hours, gently remove sausage and set aside. Puree soup into a nice, creamy liquid. Slice sausage links into slices and return to soup. Serve hot.

4-Pepper Chili
Really easy, and super tasty. You can vary the heat by adding more green chili, by choosing hotter pepper varietals, or by adding a 5th pepper (habanero, jalepeno, or basic red pepper come to mind).

This recipe has no beans and no grains, so it depends on low heat and a long cooking time to evoke all the flavor. The "chili" grind is a coarser grind, and shouldn't be pre-cooked, as it will leave tough 'strands' of meat in your chili. Without pre-cooking, it just falls apart and makes a great texture.


2 lbs wild boar, ground for chili (pork works, if you can get good, lean, naturally-raised, not grain-fed pork)
1.5 lb tomatoes, peeled and pureed
2 cups beef stock
1 cup red wine
3 cloves garlic
2 large onions, chopped
1 dried poblano chili pepper
1 dried chipotle pepper
2 dried ancho peppers
1 dried hatch green chile
1/4 cup dried currants
1 tablespoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
Salt to taste

Grind chilis with a mortar and pestle until powdered, or crush with the back of a spoon against a wooden cutting board for coarser chunks of pepper in your chili (I crush mine, because I like to taste the pepper varietals, but you can also use a coffee grinder for this, or buy the chilis already ground. Our local producer has them both ways, but I prefer to grind my own).

In crockpot, combine remaining ingredients. Add ground chilis and simmer for 10-12 hours on low heat (This recipe doesn't pre-brown the meat).

I always see these little tidbits on the Yahoo scrolly thing, and many times they do make sense so i thought i would share for those who are interested.  Sometimes these things aren't what you notice until someone points it out:

Hey Zeph,

The gym's been closed all week due to blizzard's 1&2 but I've been walking everywhere and shoveling out my car after each blizzard so I AM getting my exercise!
