Apr 30: Midnight Snack

As you might know, I don't sleep much, especially at night (gotta listen for my kid to have a seizure). Consequently, despite keeping busy with painting, writing, etc., I eat a snack.

In this case, it was kinda like a parfait ... cottage cheese with peach preserves with frozen peaches and a single strawberry slice!

Maybe tomorrow, I will go for string cheese with peanut butter.

My 28 year old (but mentally and emotionally is about 12) son, Weslee, has intractable epilepsy, autism, OCD, ADHD and lots of side effects from lots of brain surgeries. After a week stay at the Cleveland Clinic in 2024, his team of doctors is suggesting more brain surgeries.

Dinner For A Picky Person

Eating healthy is difficult when you consider how picky I am (WE are) about food.

Protein: bacon, cashews, cheese

Veg: carrots

Fruit: grapes, blueberries, strawberries

Apr 23: Bacon Dinner

As a diabetic cursed with many other health problems, I have to watch my protein intake. Unfortunately, my picky-eater-ness makes me want to give up. Sometimes.  

And sometimes, I do.

Not this meal, though.

 

I added a side salad to both of our meals. My son will eat bagged salad (lettuce, carrot shreds and purple cabbage) often drenched in Ranch dressing. And he will eat Olive Garden salad if I take out the pepper, croutons and olives, and is ok with their house dressing. Those are the only salads he will eat.

To MY salad, I added peanuts, croutons, green onions and thousand island. I actually like salad when my stomach is cooperative, and add when I can, boiled eggs, sliced almonds, shredded cheese, small chunks of protein like ham or turkey. I wish I ate it more often.

Question: has anybody ever used scrambled eggs in a salad instead of boiled? If so, how did it go?

Thank you for your visit... Vee

Apr 21: Yogurt Parfait

Sort of cliche, but I am kicking off my 'getting healthy' regimen with a yogurt parfait.

• Parfait (vanilla greek yogurt with frozen mixed fruit [ peach, pineapple, mango, and strawberries ] on the bottom, and a crumbled granola bar on top).
• A cutie mandarin orange.
• A bottle of water.

Probably should have added chia seeds, ground flaxseeds and protein powder. Next time.
