WIAW #35 - Random Eats and A Happy Halloween Questionaire

If it wasn’t for What I Ate Wednesday’s, I don’t think I’d have one blog post this month!! Okay, maybe one. What’s up with that? Too busy at work? Kinda, but the really busy part has passed until year end. Whatever it is, I’ll just take it easy until my “post-ivation” comes back.

I think a big part has to do with the lack of pictures I’ve taken lately. If you don’t have pics, it’s really hard to be inspired or to find something to write about. Anyone else like this?

The seasonal winter squash and other produce have been cooked in my home, yet I don’t have much proof. Guess I have some catching up to do, but don’t know when that will be.
Anyway, with today being Halloween, I figure I would pose a few Halloween themed questions to you…..
What is your favorite memory of trick-or-treating as a kid?

Mine is when I was old enough to go out on my own with friends and feel soooo cool for running around shooting silly string everywhere. Remember that stuff; Silly String? The neon colored foam stuff in a can? When I was younger, just getting to dress up was my favorite part. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Superman were the best!


Would your parents go through your “treats” before you could have any?

My mom just trusted I wouldn’t have anything harmful…..so much for that!! Probably why I was a heavy boy!! Well, that and McD's or Burger King double meat burgers and fries.  Geez, glad I changed!

What candy or other treat did you most enjoy from your collection?

Snickers!! Some people would even hand out full bars in the “rich” neighborhoods. The next best were Almond Joys for me….chocolate and coconut = bliss.
What candy or treat do you enjoy now?

It’s crazy to think that now I wouldn’t touch stuff I had as a kid. I would just think of the candy by each of its low quality ingredients and couldn’t even enjoy it. Nope, I’m perfectly fine with my homemade treats using protein powder, veggie purees, egg whites, fruit, and stevia. Oh, and of course natural peanut butter!!
Halloween leftovers – More for you or “get’em outta here quick!”?

This is first year Kelley and I are handing out treats and it is a big deal to me. She wanted to just buy the candy you see in stores, but I feel like I’d be a hypocrite for giving kids things I wouldn’t touch. She argued it’s not our place and for the parents to decide and we don’t want the kids getting mad at us. Well, good points, but I just can’t support it; doing that would drive me insane. So we settled on Annie’s Homegrown Halloween Bunny Grahams and Dove Dark Chocolate.

Someone commented to me a couple weeks ago that they handed out mini boxes of raisins, and I loved the idea, but could never find a big bag at the store. Plus, Kelley did not like that idea one bit. So the Bunnies and Chocolate is us “meeting in the middle” and will have to suffice. I’ll admit, the Bunny Grahams are pretty cool being whole wheat and all; too bad I’m gluten free now…..


Are you handing out candy this year? If so, do you try to keep it healthy or just give the usual mix for fear of getting your house egged/toilet papered?

See my answers above.

Did you go to any Halloween parties this weekend or have one planned for tonight? If yes, are you dressing up?

I will just be at home handing out treats and have no parties lined up. Back in college, it was a different story, obviously, and I got it all out of my system then. I remember one year Kelley and I had a party at our first home and dressed as a plug and socket. I’ll let you decide on who was which….. : )
One year, I was Zorro one and thought it would be fun to have someone video tape me sword fighting with a friend…..with real swords! Needless to say, I got stabbed in the upper shin and the rest of the night I was getting stitches in my leg. And no, I hadn’t even started drinking yet. The hospital was cool enough to let my Kelley and my 2 of my friends in to video the whole stitching. Maybe I’ll post the video one day….

Did you ever have any Halloween mishaps like my sword stabbing? Was it because of your costume?

That’s all of the questions I can think of right now. Hope you all have some great answers as I’d love to hear them. Now, despite my lack of pictures, I’ll attempt to share a few of my eats that I most enjoy. Thanks to Jenn at Peas and Crayons; I can’t wait to see what November’s theme will be. Hopefully I’m better at participating unlike my non-spooky eats and treats this month.

I love microwaves! This Microwave Veggie Frittata is delicious, healthy, and ready in minutes!!

 Another microwave masterpiece - Microwave Protein Chocolate Peanut Cake

Creamy green smoothie with a slice of Microwave Protein Cinnamon Bread, Plain Greek Chobani, and Natty PB on top

This is how I start the majority of my dinners....big salads loaded with veggies and a source of lean protein.  Then it's on to my creamy veggie protein smoothies!

No-cook Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars (made by using my Pumpkin Protein Cookie recipe and adding cocoa powder).

Hope everyone has a Happy and Safe Halloween and I hope to see you around more often!

Happy WIAW!!

WIAW #34 Healthy Microwave Birthday Cake with Greek Yogurt Icing

If I have been going for making shorter and less frequent posts this month, I have so far succeeded. But that’s not what I’m going for; it’s just panning out that way….boo.
 

My actual job has been taking up most of my time this month, but the super busy time has passed…for now. I was able to do more in the kitchen this past weekend, but hardly have any pictures for #proof. I do have some lovely pictures of Kelley, my dear wife, enjoying a delicious Chocolate Protein Layer Cake I made in the microwave. It was her birthday last Friday, but since I wouldn’t dare buy a cake from the store, I had to make my own.

She let me have a small bite, it was good, but that’s obvious from her leaving nothing behind. She was nice enough to take a big bite in front of me and rub it in, but I was just happy she liked it. Making a healthy yet delicious personal cake is perfect to avoid having leftovers staring at you and beckoning to eat it. Make it yourself, you'll see taste what I'm talking about; recipe at the end of this post.

Oh yeah, and, Happy Birthday, Kelley! I never made a post to say this on Friday, so I’m saying it on the blogosphere now.

Poor cake, never had a chance....

 

Aside from making microwave cakes, I ventured in the realm of non-dairy milk making this weekend too. My pictures are less than stellar, but this is pumpkin seed milk. The green tint is hard to distinguish in the pic, but it’s pretty green, just like my pistachio milk. Both would be perfect for a St. Patty’s Day beverage, and both are creamy, delicious, and healthy! I laugh at store bought milks now...ha ha ha ha....see.
 

The leftover pulp went to good use in another experiment; nut pulp dessert hummus. I’m sure you get the picture; I basically used the pumpkin seed pulp in place of garbanzo beans to make a sweet and healthy hummus. I think next time I’ll make it spicy with added peppers and of course cayenne. Once I get a chance to get the measurements down, I’ll have to share the recipe because you MUST try it!

I also ventured in making red lentil milk and a soy/black bean mix milk. The lentil milk turned very viscous and would hardly pour out of the bottle I put it in. This stuff was pretty much gel. Since there was no pulp left, I figure it’s what makes the milk so thick. I added stevia, vanilla, and sea salt to the gelatinous milk and used it to add to a couple bean and veggie dessert dips I tested. Recipes for these will come.
 

Soy/Black Bean mix milk is pretty good and similar to soy milk with a darker tint. I think I’ll try all black beans next time to see what that’s like. I bet it would be a good base for a Halloween drink! There, that’s my “Spooky Treat” for this What I Ate Wednesday. Sorry, I’m lacking in this department, so please work with me here.

Speaking of WIAW, I once again do not have a full day’s worth of eats, but rather some notable meals. Please accept these for now and hopefully I’ll get back on track soon! Thanks to Jenn at Peas and Crayons!

 

Enjoy and Happy What I Ate Wednesday!!

This is our staple Meatless Monday Meal...had on Wednesday

 

A tasty Kevita Mango Coconut Probiotic Drink along with my lunch. Refreshing!

 

More Spicy Peanut Butter Carrot Dip!!



Chocolate puree made with the think lentil milk, pumpkin puree, spinach, peanut flour, and cocoa powder

Pumpkin Pie Omelette. Recycled picture but sooo delicious! I see a lot more of these in my future. Belly beware!!

Today is supposed to be the last warm day here in Texas before a cold front blows in. Oh joy, just in time for the neighborhood garage sale at my mom’s that Kelley and I are helping out with. Nothing like waking up at 5:30am to sell our junk to others. Hey, that’s what coffee is for, right?

 

Oh yeah, here’s the microwave birthday cake recipe. Make it for friends, family, and yourself…..NOW!!

Microwave Chocolate Protein Birthday Cake

Ingredients

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3 tablespoons vanilla or chocolate protein powder (I used stevia sweetened egg white protein powder)

3 tablespoons peanut flour or just more protein powder

3 tablespoons whole grain gluten free oats or flour (I used quinoa flour, but any other should work)

1/4 tsp salt

12 drops liquid stevia or 3-4 packets of stevia powder

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, applesauce, or mashed banana (I used pumpkin)

1/4 cup milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond milk)

1 whole egg or 2 egg whites; can use one flax or chia egg for vegetarian option

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 tablespoons Peanut Butter Greek yogurt icing (optional; recipe below)

Directions

Combine dry ingredients and mix well; add liquid, stir, and then transfer half of the batter to a greased round, shallow dish like a ramekin.

Microwave 2 minutes and 10 seconds (may need another 20 seconds if not set). Wait for it to cool about 2 minutes, remove from dish and cook other half of batter.

Spread icing on top of first half, set other half on top and use remaining icing to cover the top.

Optional: sprinkle with cinnamon or cacao nibs with a cherry or strawberry on top. Oh, I bet sliced banana would be great too!

Chobani Greek Yogurt Icing

1/3 cup plain, non-fat Chobani Greek Yogurt

1/4 cup peanut flour, vanilla protein powder, or chocolate protein powder

1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract

No worries if you have icing leftover because it’s wonderful by itself….YUM!

WIAW #33 Kevita Sparkling Probiotic Drink Review - A Liquid Treat!

Are you craving something clean, refreshing, a little bubbly, and healthful to boot?  No, it's not kombucha, I've got something else you need to try....Kevita Sparkling Probiotic Drinks!

Like kombucha, these are loaded with stomach pleasing probiotics and not loaded with sugar like I do see in kombucha drinks. Plus, they even add apple cider vinegar which I'm a fan of already. Kevita has several coconut flavors sweetened with stevia and I stuck to only trying these. There are some flavors with higher sugar content, but I liked the coconut versions having only 10 to 20 calories for the whole bottle.

When not drinking plain water, these are the ingredients I like to see in a beverage!

Since my meal pictures are still lacking, I am focusing more on this fun filled "treat" that's not spooky in the slightest. Sorry for deviating from the normal What I Ate Wednesday procedures, but sometimes you just have to change it up.  Plus, these Kevita drinks are worth talking about. I do want to give a great, big thanks to Jenn at Peas and Crayons for hosting as usual; now go on over and pay her a visit!!

" alt="Spooky Snacks and Healthy Halloween Treats" />

I had the Mango Coconut first thing in the morning on an empty stomach instead of my morning coffee. The result? I felt more energized by this caffeine-free beverage than my big mug o'coffee; and no stomach pains either! Win! I wanted to go and be outdoors all day with this in my body, but I had to go to work instead...boo.  Fortunately, I was able to focus on my work better, so I'll take that for now.

I brought the Strawberry Acai Coconut one to work for a special beverage to enjoy with my lunch and again, I just felt good all over.  Plus, I work standing up and eating lunch can be a chore, but at least the drink was no problem!

My favorite is the pure Coconut Kevita with it's clean, effervescent taste that just makes you feel....good. The other flavors look and sound like they'd be tasty treats too, and their sugar content is the same as or less than kombucha.  If you are looking for a cleaner, crispier alternative to the more pungent probiotic drinks, look no further than Kevita Sparkling Probiotic Drinks.

Pick one up next time you're at the store, and let me know your thoughts.  Have you already tried these?  If so, what's your favorite flavor?

 

Oh, and here's a quick look at some of my eats....

 

 



[B] Spicy Carrot and Cauliflower Dip; iced black tea with vanilla rooibos; [S] Drew's Salsa and goat cheese crackers with green tea; [L] Medley of steamed veggies and Wild Planet Tuna topped with Drew's Salsa; Zevia to wash it all down; [D] Huge salad with radishes and grilled chicken topped with salsa; [D2] Chocolate delicata squash and spinach smoothie with pistachios, PB; then a cup of chocolate protein overnight oats...for good measure ; )

Happy WIAW, hope you have a great a week and your Fall is filled with pumpkins and apples!

WIAW #31 – Chicken 3 Bean Pumpkin Chili in a Hurry

Life comes at you fast. It won't sit around waiting for you to catch up, it keeps moving whether you’re ready or not.  So what’s a health-minded individual like me supposed to do when they refuse to eat meals they didn't prepare but demand full flavored nutrition while living a fairly busy life?  Simple….make big batches of healthy meals to have over several day; something like....veggie-filled chili!

I'd love to have more time to share my thoughts and kitchen adventures (lackluster as of late) with all of you WIAW-er’s, but I must be selective and post just the “goods” like a hearty pumpkin chili you can make in 30 minutes (recipe at end of this post).  Because, sometimes we need to get out of the kitchen and spend time with loved ones (my wife, Kelley) before the race car of life laps us!

Don't let life lap you, show it who's boss like this.....

.....no more lapping!!

Why so focused on the speed of life?  Because I've been taking too much time in the kitchen along with working and exercising too much and not reserving time for what matters most, my family; specifically Kelley. Yes, my wife, if you're reading this, I love you! Oh, and hi too!

This chili is quick to put together and can be made vegetarian by adding more beans or even lentils, or make it extra meaty with more meat. I like to create a good balance of both proteins and always load it with veggies.  Canned pumpkin and chili beans along with thick sliced chicken deli meat are the components that bring this dish together fast without sacrificing flavor. If you have the time, use ground beef, chicken, or turkey as desired; or add chicken breasts to a crock-pot and shred after cooking for several hours.  The possibilities are plentiful!

Like that? Plentiful; not endless like most people say.  I like to be different.

Note to self: Take digital photography lessons!!

Other than this savory pumpkin chili, I was able to make a few treats this weekend that I'll go into detail about on a future post. A lot of my time is spent trying to make healthy treats that are ready for me to eat when I finally sit down at night.  This includes a lot of bean and veggie “dessert” purees with stevia, peanut flour, protein powders, etc. I usually don't measure ingredients, but just add a little at a time until it just seems “right”. 

In lieu of spending time making this unmeasured mixes, I am going to try other healthy alternatives. Using gelatin or agar agar for protein puddings is my new plan; I just need to actually get the measurements straight. Have you ever used unflavored gelatin, agar, or another gelling agent for homemade pudding?  Katie from Chocolate Covered Katie has a delicious and easy soy free pudding I'd like to try. I’ll report back once I've had a few test runs.  Geez, I have a lot of “I-O-U’s” to deliver on, but I'm good for them; trust me. : )

So, in the essence of time, I'd like to thank Jenn at Peasand Crayons for hosting this fun event as usual. Here’s a look at not really a day of eats, but just notable eats I’ve photographed recently.  Enjoy and Happy What I Ate Wednesday!!

Oversized pumpkin omelette on top of steamed veggies with pumpkin spice coffee. 

Low fat Peanut Butter Pumpkin Protein Cookies - new recipe in the works, but these are pretty tasty. Seriously, I need to A) measure ingredients and B) write them down!! 

My 3 Bean Chicken Pumpkin Chili....with two random brussels sprouts I felt compelled to add.

Loving this combo! Microwave protein bread slices with coconut butter and peanut butter. Great snack or even a quick mini-meal if needed!

Steamed veggies with tuna and spaghetti squash. Could probably eat this all day.....after I run out of the above picture.

We had a cold front in Texas when I made the chili, but now it’s back in the 80’s as I’m having it for lunch at work.  Still awesome and I have no regrets, but there’s just something about the cold weather with a warm bowl of chili….it’s more comforting.  Do you agree?

As for spooky snacks....I don't have any to share, unless you are scared by my food.  I want to make something to share, but won't make any promise on this one.  Speaking of, Kelley and I want to hand out treats for Halloween but do not support about 99% of the candy options out there. Any ideas on a good alternative that kids would like but is still at least somewhat healthy?

I don't want to be "that guy" who gives out toothbrushes or worse....pamphlets on how to avoid childhood obesity, but I'm not sure of what to give. Maybe little bags of dry roasted peanuts or Hershey's Dark Chocolate Kisses? Do you hand out candy or turn off the lights, shut the blinds, and lock the doors?

Have a wonderful week!

Homemade Creamy Pistachio Milk

Texas weather can and does change over night.  It's crazy; Friday was an enjoyable mid-80's, and the next morning was in the upper 40's! It never got over 55 degrees all weekend, but it's supposed to be back in the 80's by Tuesday.

Since I'm not training for a marathon like I did for the past several years, I don't mind the cold as much....because I can choose to stay inside! My workouts are mostly in the garage, but I like to make mowing the lawn a workout too. Here I am after mowing with a 20lb vest using a reel mower (no gas, no electric, just blades and you pushing) which I just finished Legs day on my Supreme 90 Day schedule.

I will usually work some sprints in across the yard as I push the mower for an extra kick-in-the-A.  Neighbors think I'm crazy (or weird)....maybe I am?  Oh well, I'd say this is functional fitness for sure.

Besides my mowing adventure, I stayed mostly indoors cooking lunches for Kelley and me throughout the week, and making several healthy treats. One said treat is a new-to-me milk I made with my Soyajoy G3 Soy/Nut Milk maker. I'm really enjoying the milks I can make and don't have to buy now. Goodbye extra added ingredients I don't want or need!

The simplicity of making milk with the Soyajoy G3 makes it even more appealing. All I did was soak a 1/2 cup of pistachio kernels in water overnight and then add them to the maker with about 4.5 cups of water. All you do then is push a button and it does the rest within 30 minutes. Pretty awesome stuff, and I love using the leftover pulp after straining in baking recipes and for added nutrition in smoothies.

If you've never made your own non-dairy milk and don't have a milk maker, you can still make it without one.  I've made coconut and almond milk with great success before, just takes more time. We all have extra time to burn anyway.....right? Please, sense my sarcasm....there's never enough time!!

To make your own, just soak a 1/2 cup of any nuts or beans you want for 8 or more hours.  I've soaked for over a day before with no issues. For beans, I suggest cooking them on the stove first; nuts are optional and make good milk cooked or raw.

Once soaked long enough, drain and rinse your nuts/beans and then blend them with 4 - 5 cups water (depending how thick or thin you like it) in a blender or food processor.  When everything is blended, pour your milk through a strainer and viola, you have homemade milk!

I like to add vanilla, stevia, and a dash of salt to the milk and the outcome is pure, milky bliss.  Use the pulp to make veggie burgers, bake into breads/muffins, or blended into smoothies. Speaking of veggie burgers, I still owe you a recipe for my veggie okara burgers on this post.

I didn't forget, but, for the same reason I should be asleep right, work is keeping me from sitting down to take the time to write it.  I just throw things together and hope for best, which it usually does turn out great. But I'm taking time to write this post, you say? Well, yeah, because I wanted to share my pistachio milk, duh.

Homemade milk goes great with homemade treats like these Pumpkin Peanut Butter Protein Cookies. Patience, recipe testing in progress.

Haven't said "duh" in a while....that felt weird, even typing.  So, I'll stop here for today, but I do have a few things I must share with you hopefully soon. For a hint on some things, how does a carrot-ginger "milk" and a healthy coconut oil peanut butter oatmeal cookie sound to you? Good, I hope, because I'll revisit these some time in the near future.

Until then, hope your weekend was well and you have a great week ahead!

Have you ever made your own milk?

Has your cooking style changed as the cooler weather sets in? I made pumpkin chili with beans and chicken that is ultimate comfort food without guilt; another thing to share soon!

WIAW #31 Spooky Food and I Didn't Even Know It!

Yes, just ideas.  I sound like a broken record, but work has been keeping me from my true passion for food, cooking, and taking pictures of both. So, in an effort to keep it short but still have a post for What I Ate Wednesday, I just wanted to post a few "to-do's" for this month's WIAW theme of spooky snacks and healthy halloween treats.

Usually our busy time at work is closer to year end, so hopefully it's early this year and I'll have more time around x-mas and the new year. But, lets focus on now, October, the month where it's ok to eat eyeballs, fingers, and brains! Or at least food that looks like them.

I searched for healthy, spooky treats on Google and found this cool site with pretty neat spooky food ideas. Here are two of my favorite pics from the site....

Banana Ghosts

Apple "Bites" - The teeth are slivered almonds

The bananas are covered in melted white chocolate, but I would try something else since I am not a fan of sugary things. Maybe a mix of vanilla protein powder, almond milk, and coconut oil would do the "trick" for a delicious "treat." See what I did there? I get a kick out of myself sometimes...that's all that matters, right? Check out the site, all of the creations are worth checking out.

I don't make spooky treats often, and before knowing what this month's theme would be I made some of these creations in the pics below.  Some of them could easily work as healthy, spooky treats. Of course, there are those annoying people at work that think my healthy, unprocessed food is spooky as is and the crap they eat in a bag is "real food." I let it get to me too much, but it is annoying!

This could work as Moldy Puke Puree. I thank pureed spinach and crumbled goat cheese for the gross out factor...but it's sooo good. Here's the recipe if you want to try; but I don't recommend handing this out to trick-or-treaters.

This is simply cooked barley I used as a cold cereal that could become Maggot Cereal! Add whole cashews for the giant larvae or pistachios for a nice green effect.

These Pumpkin Protein Crepes can easily double as Burned Skin Peels or something skin related.

I have a few more pics from the past that could double as spooky food, but I'll save those for next week. Does anyone else have existing food pictures you didn't intend to be spooky, but after going back to look at them, you can imagine a gross name for it? Don't lie....if you've ever made a green smoothie, you're in the spooky food club.

Ok, I could discuss food all day, but I'm running on E from little sleep, lots of work, and still working out, so lets get to the WIAW part of this WIAW post.  Thank you, Jenn at Peas and Crayons, for being such a gracious What I Ate Wednesday host!

Breakfast - Steamed veggies with a little turkey leftovers from my lunch (see "Lunch" below); rooibos and green tea

Lunch - Baked Jersey sweet potato smothered in simmered turkey cutlets cut into cubes and a side of steamed broccoli

Dinner - Steamed Brussels sprout salad with Trader Joe's Chipotle Salsa, brown mustard, and a few clams hidden under the salsa.

Din-essert - Microwave pumpkin protein bread slices with crunchy peanut butter, coconut butter, and a little Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil; ok, I had a green ginger protein smoothie too, but no pic to prove it...just trust me : )

Have you tried Tropical Traditions Coconut products?  They even have Coconut Peanut Butter that I have to try soon! I'll be trying this oil out over the next couple weeks and hope to share some tasty recipes and then possibly a giveaway.

Guess I better jet, hope you have a great week and find some healthy, spooky foods to make, eat, or both!
