I decided that since I'm stressed, I'm making an extra effort to eat more whole and less processed food. I have a tendency to eat less healthy when I'm stressed and then my physical performance suffers.
This week I ate a lot of salad wraps. Homemade apple butter. Fresh feta from our favorite deli.
Today I stopped at Nature's Way for some funky flours-- some gluten free, others not. My family doesn't have gluten issues but many of the gluten-free recipes incorporate a better balance of carbohydrates/protein than wheat.
I have a long history if requiring a certain blend of carbohydrates and protein with lots of good veggies to keep from self-destructing. I experience incredible weakness if I skip meals that can't be fixed without hearty protein. Testing my blood sugar reveals that it's "fine," but that I feel ravenously hungry with a blood sugar of 90.
Anyway, my adventures with flour hopefully will start with multigrain biscuits.
Then we went to Kline Farm where I got yogurt, dill Colby, a huge pumpkin, apple cider, ground beef, sausage and pork chops.
I planned to make a "quick" 4 course meal before I go to work, and realized I must be delusional.
We started with a salad and big glass of water.
Next I heated my spiced apples in my skillet with pecans and butter and served with vanilla ice cream.
Now I'm frying pork chops in the same skillet I warmed the apples to capitalize on any apple flavor. I'm also heating corn we froze off the cob this summer.
