Simple Layered Salad

Sometimes I not in the mood to put much effort into lunch or dinner, there's nothing made ahead (surprise!) so what to do I ask myself. One of my fall backs is a layered salad. It's just romaine lettuce sliced thin, cottage cheese, fruit - pears, cantaloupe, berries, topped with sunflower seeds or what ever seed variety is to hand. Stack it up, grasp your fork and dig in. A healthy meal with little to no effort. Tip - the romaine and fruit can come already bagged/chopped so there is not even that chore for you - nice!

Romaine greens, sliced thin across the leaves

1 c.+ cottage cheese

1 - 2 pears, cored, sliced with skins

1/2 c.+ sunflower seeds

On a dinner plate, layer romaine, cottage cheese, pears, sunflower seeds to then grab up your fork and enjoy! Yes, it can be just that easy to make a healthy meal for yourself with little effort...sounds good to me and it is.

When I'm not gamboling up the stairs to throw together a healthy meal, I'm sewing cotton pocket aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads .

Or I'm putting the finishing touches on hand crafted throw rugs torn from upcycled recycled thrifted cotton sheets which are then crocheted into round and oval throw rugs for my other online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .

My daughter's have an online shop - www.etsy.com.shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton pocket knickers to wear for leisure, fun, or frolicking occasions.

My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - where she works upcycled recycled thrifted yarns into brightly striped afghans to curl up into on those summer evenings you just want to sit outside and enjoy the starlight.

By reducing insulin naturally, weight loss is naturally easier. Insulin resistance occurs when cells in the body do not respond effectively to insulin, a hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. Left unchecked, insulin resistance can lead to type 2 diabetes and other serious health complications. However, the good news is that through dietary choices and lifestyle modifications, we can mitigate its effects and promote better metabolic health.

I made Egyptian Hawawshi for the first time and it is so yummy. This is a keeper. (Photo not mine, I gobbled it up too fast to take my own.)

This was my dinner the last couple days except the pizza. That was from Evel Pie before a concert that I had a lot of fun at. Someday when I can't eat I actually just enjoy the process of making something to completion where you can taste the love. I had a nice long talk with my buddy Hunter from when I worked at Beaujolias. He in someway is my twin flame/rival. We would prep the beef bourgnion by roasting the veal bones for stock and preparing the mire points. I remember how particular our soux was with the consistency and taste of the mash potatoes. It was a personal game when when David would choose who made the days puree. Redoing this old comfort recipe I realize the basic techniques I learned with these great people. Also that I can't puree a pomme to save my life.

The happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic plays his new food game, 'Serve, Taste or Trash' at the fifth annual Summer Streets - NYC. Here's how you play: Mr. Divabetic lists 3 fruits and vegetables. Among the three food options, you must choose which one you'd serve, which one you'd taste, and which one you'd be willing to trash.

For this food game, the choices are melon, red pepper, and eggplant. Nearly seven miles of New York City's streets, from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park, will be opened up for everyone to play, run, walk, and bike.

Asparagus Onion Mushroom Omelette

This was a late dinner thrown together quickly as I needed to eat but didn't want to do much work to make that happen. I keep onions diced and at the ready in the fridge, the asparagus was left over from a prior meal, and the mushrooms were purchased sliced so this meal was pretty well ready to fry up and eat. Just the way I like to cook if that can be managed. See what you think...

oil

1/2 c. red onion, diced

1/2 c. mushroom, sliced

4 large spears asparagus, cooked, cut into 1/2" long pieces

dash salt/pepper/garlic powder

3 eggs, whisked

3 T. Parmesan cheese, grated

In a large fry pan, add onions to the oil to begin their sauteing.

Add the mushrooms to begin their browning. In goes the asparagus, salt, pepper, and garlic powder - keep stirring. Pour eggs over all cooking until the eggs have set. Plate up to then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over all while the egg mixture is still hot. Enjoy!
