No Longer Friends with the Sweet Potato

by eatingbirdfood on September 30, 2008

For lunch today I had a baked sweet potato with veggie chili on top:

And it was really good – until about 3 hours later when I felt like a war was going on inside my stomach. I’ve had this problem before several times with baked sweet potatoes, but never with sweet potato fries. Which is a a bad thing because I really like baked sweet potatoes, but also good because I like the sweet potato fries as well. I realize that sweet potatoes are suppose to be easy on the stomach and quite digestible, but perhaps I am allergic because my tum doesn’t do well. I get really bloated and my stomach makes awful gurgling noises. AND, I know it wasn’t the chili that caused this feeling because I had it on Friday night sans the SP and everything was fine. Plus, as I said I’ve had the SP problemo several times in the past – I just didn’t wanted to believe that I shouldn’t eat them any more. I guess it’s pretty clear though now… I should stop eating them.

Oh to more enjoyable things, like HOLIDAYS- Happy Rosh Hashana. I went to my first service tonight with Isaac. We had dinner at a family friend’s house, who just so happens to also be my boss… It was good, but I didn’t get pictures.

Best Oatmeal EVA

by eatingbirdfood on September 29, 2008

I don’t know why, but I’ve never really been too fond of adding milk to cook my oats. I always stick with water, because when I have tried skim milk I’ve thought it tasted funny. BUT let me tell you that today I used 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk and 1/2 cup water and OMG…. my oatmeal turned out to be the best I’ve tasted in a long while, maybe ever. I really enjoyed the sweet (yet, unsweetened) almond milk flavor mixed in with my banana oats. I did the normal ground flax and Barney Butter on top. This made my Monday morning delightful!!!

Twice Baked Tofu

September 24, 2008

You can probably guess from the shape of the nut butter that this came from some sort of package – and you would be correct. Jennifer Barney over at Barney Butter kindly offered to send me some of her famous Almond Butter. I know, I know this nut butter has been featured all over blog [...]

B-fast for Dinner

September 23, 2008

One of my favorite childhood memories is when my mom said that we could have breakfast for dinner. I felt like we were breaking the rules, which makes breakfast for dinner seem really cool when you are 10. I was like.” Mom, can we really do this? Do other people actually do this too? My [...]

Another Go Round

September 23, 2008

I really wanted to wake up early on Monday and go running, but I woke up at 6:00 and said to Isaac – I can’t go running, it’s dark outside – and went right back to sleep. So I woke up at 7:30 instead, and decided to run in the evening. For breakfast, I didn’t [...]
