We are so fortunate that we have good food to eat. And that we can take steps to control and improve our health. We are lucky to have today’s menu which combines one of my favorite breakfasts with one of my favorite dinners. That’s the Fasting Lifestyle!

Warm the ham in a skillet, toast the bread, brew your beverage, slice the fruit, cube the cheese. Prepare the smoothie or take the other half of the smoothie recipe from ‘fridge and shake it to mix.

For Gunn & Grommet

“How about a little cheese, Grommet?” Wallace the claymation character would ask.  “Many’s the long night I’ve dreamed of cheese,” sighed Ben Gunn in Treasure Island. And today they shall be satisfied!  Cheese provides necessary protein and Calcium and it tastes good too. Since the Fasting Lifestyle does not ban it, let us enjoy it.     Welcome to LSM, a fellow cheese-lover, who has resumed Fasting with renewed resolve.

Cheese Omelette  303 calories    10.1 fat   1.8 fiber     15.6 pro    28.7 Carb    232 mg Calcium  GFcheese omelette w: applesauce

1 ½ two-oz eggs HINT: If you are serving one person, crack three 2-oz eggs into a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Whip up those eggs and pour half of their volume into a jar with a lid and put it in the ‘fridge for next week.                                                                               ¼ oz cheese such as Cheddar or Gruyere                                                                                                       1 and 1/2 oz apple                                                                                                                                                          blackish coffee or blackish tea or lemon in hot water                                                                                     5-6 oz green smoothie or fruit smoothie

Whisk the eggs with seasonings to taste. Grate the cheese. Put the eggs into a hot pan spritzed with cooking spray. Once the bottom of the eggs are set, sprinkle with cheese, fold and plate. Slice fruit, brew beverage, blend the smoothie or take it from the ‘fridge and shake it before serving.

Heat a cast iron skillet and warm the tortillas on both sides until they are warm, pliant, and beginning to brown in spots. Remove and keep warm in a tea towel. Combine the cheeses, salsa, and oregano. Spoon half of the cheese mixture on each tortilla, then top with shredded cheese. Cook the broccoli. Fold over the tortillas and cook on both sides in the hot skillet until hot and toasty and melty. TIP: I sometimes need to put something on top of the folded tortillas to keep them folded as they begin to cook. No problem after they are flipped.

New Year’s Resolutions

~ me ~ 1 Comment

How this Fast Diet Lifestyle works: Eat these meals tomorrow, for a calorie total of less than 600. On another day this week, eat the meals from a different post, another day of eating 600 calories or less. Eat sensibly the other days of the week. That’s it. Simple way to lose weight and be healthier.

Let’s resolve to be healthier this year. Let’s resolve to eat better this  year.  Let’s resolve to lose some weight, and be healthier, and eat better this year.  That sure sound like following the Fasting Lifestyle.  How? prepare the following meals tomorrow.  That means eating the 300-calories-or-less breakfast. Skip lunch but drink lots of water.  Black coffee and tea are fine too. Then eat the 300-calorie-or-less dinner, again with water. Next Sunday, read the next blog in the series and Fast again. Rinse and Repeat.

Basquaise Omelette:     147 calories…    8 g fat… 2 g fiber… 10.4 g protein… 9 g carbs… 80.5 mg Calcium… NB: Food values shown are for the Omelette and fruit only, and do not include the optional beverages.   PB GF  This recipe, full of the flavors of the Basques region of SW France, comes to us from Salute to Healthy Cooking, published by the French Culinary Institute. Wonderful book from which we cook all year long. Note that this is a baked omelette, so the method is a little different. Faites bien attention.

Basquaise Omelette

3 two-oz eggs   HINT: If you are serving one person, crack three 2-oz eggs into a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Whip up those eggs and pour half of their volume into a jar with a lid and put it in the ‘fridge for next week. ++++ 1 and 1/2 Tbsp tomato sauce ++++  1 and 1/2 Tbsp bell pepper, chopped ++++ ½ clove garlic or big pinch granulated garlic ++++ 2 tsp parsley, chopped ++++ 1 tsp Parmesan cheese, grated ++++ 2 oz apple or 3 oz melon or 2 oz pear ++++ Optional: blackish coffee [53 calories] or blackish tea or mocha cafe au lait [65 calories] ++++   Optional: 5 oz fruit smoothie or berry-yogurt smoothie  [88 calories]

Heat the oven broiler. In an oven-safe skillet, put the tomato sauce, peppers, garlic, parsley, and 2 Tbsp water. Cook gently until the veg are soft and the water is evaporated. Remove from pan. Add a spritz of non-stick spray and heat the pan. Whisk the eggs with 2/3 of the tomato mixture and pour into the pan. As the eggs cook, gently lift the edge of the eggs and let uncooked egg flow underneath. Do not flip or fold the eggs. Top the eggs with the cheese and put the skillet under the broiler to finish cooking. Prepare the fruit and beverages. Slide the omelette onto the plate and top it with the remaining tomato/pepper mixture. Alternately, if you prepare the omelette in an 8″ cast-iron skillet, you could serve it from there, as shown in the photo.

Pork Somen Noodles   260 calories…   6 g. fat…   11 g. protein…     28.8 g. carb… PB Found on the back of a bag of somen noodles, this recipe is quick and easy and good to eat. HINT: this is enough for TWO. Dine with a friend or enjoy for lunch another day.

Add the cooked pork, garlic, noodles, and soy sauce. Saute until contents are warm.

Christmas Eve

How this Fast Diet Lifestyle works: Eat these meals tomorrow, for a calorie total of less than 600. On another day this week, eat the meals from a different post, another day of eating 600 calories or less. Eat sensibly the other days of the week. That’s it. Simple way to lose weight and be healthier.

Just today I was asked if I would be Fasting this week of Christmas. Well, I’ll admit that I’m glad that Christmas will be on a Friday, not Thursday. Fasting can occur as usual on a special day with a little thought. plan A: If you know you must go for the whole Feast for dinner,  have a regular Fast Day until then: a 300 calorie breakfast, no lunch, lots of water, and be sensible in eating at dinner.  plan B: French toast for breakfast and seafood chowder for dinner. The chowder [first posted November 25, 2015] is what we eat on Christmas Eve every year — delicious, out of the freezer [if you made a batch before Thanksgiving in November], and something that you look forward to, instead of feeling deprived.

French Toast    300 caloriesChristmas Tree French Toast

HINT: This recipe makes 4 [four] slices of French Toast. Prepare all 4, but put the other 2 in a bag in the freezer for a really fast breakfast later.                                                                                                         4 slices 70-cal whole grain bread, with a Christmas Tree cut-out                             one 2-oz egg                                                                                                                                    2 Tbsp fat-free milk                                                                                                                  2 oz strawberries, fresh or unsweetened frozen                                                                   1 and 1/2 tsp maple syrup                                                                                                         one 60-cal sausage — I like Al Fresco brand sage breakfast links                         nearly black coffee or tea or lemon in hot water                                                      green or fruit smoothie or natural apple cider

THE NIGHT BEFORE: Whisk the egg and milk together. Cut the pieces of bread into Christmas Tree shapes, using a cookie cutter. [This step is important for the calorie count to come out right, so don’t skip it even if it seems too much like ‘crafty food.’  Feed the remaining bread to the birds or save for preparing Stuffed Clams, [Aug. 9 , 2015] Put the tree-shaped bread into a rimmed pan which is just big enough for the 4 bread pieces. Pour the egg/milk mixture over the bread, making sure it is all wetted. Let stand OVERNIGHT. Also combine the strawberries and syrup in a microwave-safe bowl.

The next morning, cook the batter-soaked bread in a hot non-stick pan with a spritz of non-stick spray. Cook until browned on both sides. Cook the sausage, too. Mash the berries a bit and add the maple syrup.   Warm the mixture a little and smear onto the plated toast. Enjoy with the sausage, hot beverage of choice, and green smoothie.

Seafood Chowder   275 calories  11 g. fat  15 g protein   16 g carb  GF This makes 10 one-cup servings. It freezes nicely, but it is great fresh! My husband found the recipe in Yankee magazine.

In a medium skillet or saute pan cook the diced bacon until brown and crisp. Remove bacon and reserve. Pour off all but 1 Tbsp fat and add the onions. Cook slowly over low heat, stirring, until translucent [10 mins?]. Set aside with the bacon in a large bowl.

In a separate saucepan, cover cubed potatoes with salted water and boil until almost tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and add to the bacon/onions.

Put clams in a large pot and add 1 quart water. Heat to boiling, cover, and cook until clams open, about 3 minutes. Remove the clams but leave the liquid in the pot. Strain the liquid through a sieve lined with paper towel. Remove the clams from their shells and cut them into smaller pieces if necessary. Add to the potatoes, onion, and bacon.

Put the strained clam broth back into the empty pot and bring to a boil. Add the lobster head-first into the boiling broth. Cover and cook for 20 minutes. Remove lobster and let cool. Crack the shell to remove the meat. Cut the meat into 1/2” chunks and add to the previous ingredients.

Heat the broth until boiling. Add the scallops and shrimp. Reduce heat to low. Simmer about 3 minutes, until the scallops + shrimp are just cooked through.

Add all the previously cooked ingredients, along with the milk, butter, parsley and seasonings. Heat until steaming but not boiling.

Cover and cool. Let the pot sit in the ‘fridge or on a cool back porch for 12-24 hours. This really enhances the flavors. When ready to serve, heat to steaming hot but do not boil. Freeze what is left over in freezer containers which are the same size as a serving.

Summer Greens

How this Fast Diet Lifestyle works: Eat these meals tomorrow. On Momday, eat the meals that will be posted on Sunday.  Eat sensibly the other days of the week.  That’s it.  Simple way to lose weight and be healthier.

I hope you have access to lots of fresh herbs and greens and vegetables this summer.  So nice to incorporate them into delicious meals. But a Fasting Lifestyle isn’t about eating ‘rabbit food,’ as some people might think when dreading the thought of dieting. There are many good things to eat without a steady diet of salads.  Dinner is based on salad — but what about all the delicious things on those greens? Wonderful!

Andrew Weil said so.                                                                                                                            blackish coffee or blackish tea or lemon with hot water                                                                     5-6 oz green smoothie or fruit smoothie or natural apple cider

Whisk the eggs with salt & pepper to taste. Put the white part of the onion into a hot pan sprayed with cooking oil. Stir around for a few seconds. Add the eggs. When bottom of eggs begin to set, sprinkle the ham & green scallions over the eggs, scramble to taste, and plate. Brew the beverage, pour the smoothie or cider, prep the fruit, and “Eat them! Eat them, here they are!”

This delightful meal is from Lynne Rosetto Kaspar’s The Italian Country Table. I have included a version of the original cooked salad dressing, but you may use a simple herbed vinaigrette made with 1 tsp oil and ½ tsp red wine vinegar.

½ oz salami                                                                                                                                                       ½ c white beans                                                                                                                                              2.5 cups [3 oz] lettuce                                                                                                                                             1 oz mozzerella                                                                                                                                                    1 radish, thinly sliced                                                                                                                                      2” celery, thinly sliced on diagonal                                                                                                              2 cherry tomatoes or 2 large chunks of tomato                                                                                      2 tsp of boiled dressing

For the dressing: put 3 Tbsp olive oil, 4” rosemary, and 6 sage leaves in a pan and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add 4 smashed cloves garlic and a pinch of hot pepper flakes. Stir for a few seconds. Add ½ cup red wine vinegar and boil down the whole recipe to 1/3 cup. Strain and cool. For this dinner, you will need 2 tsp/ serving. Put the remainder in a jar and store to use anytime.

Prep your toppings: slice the salami rounds into matchsticks; shred the lettuce; cut the cheese into strips about 1/4” square; slice the radish and celery. Measure 2 tsp dressing into a serving/salad bowl and add the lettuce. Toss to coat with the dressing. Arrange the meat, beans, cheese, and radishes in decorative groupings. Place the tomatoes on top. Hearty and delicious.

How this Fast Diet Lifestyle works: Eat these meals tomorrow, for a calorie total of less than 600. On another day this week, eat the meals from a different post, another day of eating 600 calories or less. Eat sensibly the other days of the week. That’s it. Simple way to lose weight and be healthier.

One can go around the world by sampling different cuisines while never leaving your own kitchen. Today, we start in Northern Europe, where oats grow better than wheat. And we end the day in Korea, eating pancakes with shrimp.  Feel like a world traveler yet?

oatmeal-cottage cheese pudding

Blueberry-Oatmeal Pudding      301 calories                  Another fine recipe ‘inspired’ by Marion Cunningham’s The Breakfast Book. Well, actually I used only a few of her ingredients. Those of you who like oatmeal must try this. HINT: the recipe makes enough for two meals. One to eat now, one to freeze for another morning.

1/2  cup oatmeal, cooked in 1 cup water                                       2 tsp maple syrup [the REAL stuff, please]                                 1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese                                                 pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg                                                         2 Tbsp blueberries [fresh or frozen] per serving                         2.5 oz of apple per person                                                                 5-6 oz fruit smoothie or natural apple cider                                                                                           blackish coffee or blackish tea or lemon in hot water

Cook the oatmeal in the water.  Take off heat and stir in the maple syrup.  Let cool a bit.  While it is still warm, stir in the cottage cheese. Let sit until cool. HINT: I did this part the night before while cleaning up after dinner.  If making one portion, pour half of the pudding in a freezer container and top with 2 Tbsp blueberries. Freeze it.  HINT: Make the entire batch. Eat half of it today and freeze the rest for a really simple-to-prepare breakfast later.  With the remainder, stir in 2 Tbsp blueberries and pour the pudding into a ramekin.  Nuke it for a minute to heat through — longer than that and it will bubble over. Serve with the apple slices, fruit smoothie, and hot beverage for a hearty, healthy, yummy meal.

Korean Shrimp Pancakes 290 cal 8.5 g. fat 15.35 g. protein 35 g. carbs PB Adapted from Rush Hour Cookbook, this is enough to serve TWO people.

2 oz egg white two 2-oz eggs 1 cup flour 1/4 pound shrimp 2 green onions = 1 Tbsp green parts, 2 Tbsp white parts ¾ cup zucchini, julienned 2/3 cup carrot, julienned ½ c water 1 Tbsp soy sauce oil to spray on the pan

Thaw the shrimp in a bowl, retaining the thawing liquid. Poach the shrimp in the liquid until just cooked. Remove shrimp and chop. Put the green onions, zucchini and carrots in the liquid, adding water if needed. Steam the veg until they are softening — note that the carrot will take longer. Reserve the cooked veg. Beat the eggs and egg white together. Add the flour, ½ cup water, soy sauce and whisk together. Add the shrimp and vegetables. Stir to combine. Heat a nonstick pan until medium hot. Add a spray of oil if needed. Scoop up the batter by using a 1/4 cup measures being sure to include shrimp, vegetables, and batter each time. Pour into the pan while tipping the pan to spread the batter a little. Let cook until browned on one side, then flip over. Batter should make 3 pancakes. Stack the cooked pancakes and cut in wedges to serve.
