Ive made big changes to my diet over the years, going from eating fast food multiple times a day to now not eating at any restaurants for the last 6 months. We also source are food differently than before. We buy our meats from local farmers at our Farmers Market every weekend this time of year. We look for grass fed, free range meat. We get Chicken, duck, steak, pork and many other meats from them. I also make my own mayonnaise as I was not a fan of all the additives companies put in their mayonnaise.
We buy locally grown lettuce and other vegetables, usually picked within 48 hours of sale. This allows some of it to last nearly two weeks in our refrigerator. We have tried many kinds and like to make pesto out of the micro greens we get. We tend to buy Arugula, Tropicana and Baby Romaine greens. Its hard to even look at it the same now, when I go to major supermarkets I know that lettuce was probably picked two weeks ago and that is why it only lasts a few days for most people.
Our Eggs are farm fresh, non-bleached and non-factory farmed eggs. We buy them at the farmers market as well. Lastly we have the bread we make, we use arrowroot powder to make our bagels, biscuits and other breads. The nice thing about arrow root is you do not need sugar to rise it. So great for those limiting such things in their diet.
With all of these things together, I can make a great breakfast, lunch or dinner. I want to share with you all what my breakfast looked like today.
I spice the meat, eggs and vegetables with turmeric, fresh ground pepper, garlic and onion powder, and pink himalayan salt. I used carrots, green beans, cauliflower, asparagus to roast. I take fresh chopped onion and garlic and I lightly caramelize the onions and garlic before starting the eggs on the cooking pan.
I lay down the Tropicana or Romaine first and then take my home made mayonnaise and paste it on the greens. The mayonnaise I make is hot, I use a half tablespoon of it to make the mayonnaise as its over 40,000 scoville units.
Lastly I try to include fermented food in just about every meal I have. I like kimchi, cole slaw and pickles.
Cooking for myself has been very empowering, as long as I can find the resources I can make it now.
