Regretfully, almost two weeks have passed since I posted something on here... and even longer since I've posted our meals for you to follow while on "The Maker's Diet". Such a fact is regretful because now I'm not sure I can accurately post our previous menu since I doubt the capabilities of my memory... Although, this would be a great opportunity for you to be creative and put together some meal ideas of your own! We'll just pretend that was my goal for you all along ; ) But, I will document the meals I have pictures of at the end of this post...
Anyhow, we are now
ALMOST finished with Phase 2 and loving it! Seriously, being able to incorporate nearly any fruit of choice has been a sweet new luxury and the "full" feeling after eating a meal with beans has been simply satisfying! ...Looking forward to Phase 3, starting tomorrow! : )
Some meals we ate during the end of phase one and beginning of phase two:
|
Pan Fired White Bean & Kale with a Sweet Potato (topped with sour cream and chives) |
|
(Phase 2): A new FAVORITE! Yumm! This was my homemade healthy version of chicken parmigiana. : ) |
|
A DELICIOUS snack for Phase 2: Broiled orange (cherry) tomatoes, basil and mozzarella cheese. |
|
Ok, so my presentation can use some work, but the flavor was outstanding!!! The poached eggs on a bed of sauteed spinach with red pepper coulis on top is a recipe from my sister-in-law Ashleigh (THANK YOU!!!). I steamed up some asparagus and poured homemade hollandaise sauce on top. The sausage is a homemade apple turkey sausage : ) If you'd like any recipes, just let me know in a comment. (Phase 2)
I think it was a mushroom, goat cheese, spinach omelet with a variety of summer squash on the side. (Phase 1) |

(Phase 1) Mahi Mahi with sauteed squash and gold tomatoes (this dish was so flavorful)! |
Another amazing dish that I didn't take a picture of was Pan Fried White Bean and Kale (recipe from my amazing sister-in-law Ashleigh)! So glad I froze some of my soaked and cooked white beans so I can make this recipe again SOON! : )
ReplyDeleteI also don't have a picture of a Three Bean Chili I made to celebrate the start of Phase 2... but I just made a different chili tonight, and will post a pic of that one for you soon.
Wow!! I am thoroughly impressed by all of your meals!!! You are like a chef, Leeann!! :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Ann! It's been fun : )
ReplyDeleteUPDATE: I DID have a pic of the white bean and kale meal... I attached it to the original post above : )
