I'm with you there. I tried the vegetarian thing, but after about a day and a half without some legit protein I start feeling light headed and hungry all the time, that no amount of food except some protein will neutralize.

I had a burrito.

[Kätzchen]

Smokey Navy Bean soup with hatch green chilies and jalapeños and wedges of organic lime. I garnished my homemade soup with sliced organic avocado and crumbled peppered bacon.

✨✨✨☺️✨✨✨


A chilled glass of spring water, as well.

After a very intense couple of weeks moving my father into assisted living, my mom and I are craving comfort food. Tonight I will roast a turkey breast and make mashed potatoes, gravy, and roasted carrots.

Protein does come in other forms. Garbanzo beans/chick peas in salad. Peanut butter on apples. Edamame with a dusting of Himalayan pink salt is delicious and chock full of protein. Nuts/seeds. Oats/oatmeal/wild rice. Eggs. Tofu/Seitan. Peas/beans/lentils. Quinoa. Breads made from sprouted grains. Soy milk. Veggies like broccoli, spinach, asparagus, artichokes, sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts all have solid protein counts. White fish is even considered a 'non-meat' protein source.

I'm not a vegetarian by any means, and I do love a good steak when I'm feeling carnivorous, but some days, when it's boiling at 95 degrees F and 89% humidity, the heaviness of meat is just too much for me. It sits in my belly like a rock.

Tonight will likely be the last two chicken potstickers to get rid of them with some mushroom and herb soup and an apple. Tangerine juice is likely but I'm eying my box of A&W root beer mix too, so I will probably have a mock root beer float as well. The mix is sugar free so it definitely tastes like a diet root beer melted float (I use nut milk instead of ice cream to keep the sugar down) but it is not the worst thing I've drunk in my life either.

I'm aware of the other forms of protein, although looking back at my original post I do sound flippant about it. I eat many other proteins. Part of the problem with them as one's only protein source, in my eyes, is that you have to eat them in specific combinations in order to come up with complete proteins. Being a vegetarian is work. But that is neither here nor there in my case, because if it's not some kind of animal product, it will not satisfy my hunger after a day or two.

I also tend to stick to lighter things when the weather is hot. I'm especially fond of Jell-O salads (not vegan BTW; gelatin is an animal product). But I have no problem with some chicken or fish, either.

Today I had a bunch of errands to run in town, so I picked up a Rueben sandwich and a greek gyro from Arby's. I won't have to cook for a couple of days. I ate half of the rueben, then I was so tired I couldnt eat anymore. I'll finish tomorrow. I'm about to fall out. Hopefully I will be smart enough to lie down and go to sleep soon.
Smooches,
Keri

Last night I got my two best butches together ( there would be more if you both lived closer ), and we went to the casino. I had a sausage Parm sandwich, I ate only the insides..lol
One had Chinese and the other had cheese pizza .

Tonight we will be grilling ribs under cloudy skies. ( Beach Day was a bust)
Ribs... marinating over night in Coke and pineapple juice. Will bake in slow low oven for 4 hours today and then pop them on the grill to finish.

Not sure of sides yet, lol

Bon Appetit

I have never considered that combination. It sounds good! Cole slaw is a great condiment and side dish.

I bought ribeye last week, but my friend didn't want that. So I have to eat it and I have time tonight to enjoy it. I also have broccoli and I'll add butter and cheese.

Probably will have left overs , yay!
