Day 1. Saturday, 25th May, 2013
Started the day feeling optimistic and happy that I can still drink coffee (and wine too!). I think that coffee would be the most difficult thing to exclude from my diet. I now need to use much less coffee in my cup as the diet is dairy free, and I don't care for soya milk in drinks. Previously, I took 2 teaspoons of coffee per drink and now it is down to 3/4 of a teaspoon.
The diet is largely vegetarian but can include some fish, chicken and turkey, but no other meats, so I had a portion of tinned salmon with a green salad for lunch. For the evening meal I cooked up an Adzuki Bean & Mixed Grain recipe. Ingredients below:
100g Basmati Rice
100g Bulgar
100g Quinoa
I Kallo organic yeast-free stock cube (Simmered all these up together until done)
1 tin of Adzuki beans, drained and rinsed.
Meanwhile I sauteed half an onion in a small amount of olive oil, together with 2 tsps. of turmeric, 1 of cumin and 1 of coriander. Black pepper and chillis are not allowable so I substituted a teaspoon of English mustard to give a bit of heat. Then added the Adzuki beans to heat through.
When the grains were tender, I drained them and mixed the whole lot together and seasoned with a little salt.
I ate mine with the remainder of the salmon from lunch and my other half had some grilled pork with his. It was a really filling, tasty and enjoyable meal.
Of course, I had made far too much so I put the leftovers in a covered bowl in the fridge to use up the next day.
