Testing, testing....
I've been afraid all week to try this, because I didn't think I could navigate the technology. It was kinda stressful, but I figured it out - I think.
On the bread thing, I would echo Jen, that it's really better to let go of the idea than to spend too much time trying to find acceptable substitutes.  If you make them so they are good, they are still full of starch, which is not good for gut healing or weight loss. I do buy the GF bread from costco and make the 2 loaves last a month, but it has plenty of starch and sweetener, so it is like a treat for when you really want a burger or the like.
Did you know if you go to In 'n Out, you can order your burger 'protein style' and its just a burger with tomato and onion in lettuce?  Jen told me about it, and it has been helpful for trips to town.
Remember the cabbage soup from the Dolly Parton diet? I made a big pot of that this week, with hamburger in it, and it was really good. It also lasted a few days, which I love. It's just any combination of non starchy veggies in a tomato base broth. Season it well with beef stock and some salt and pepper, and there you go.
Jen, I have really wanted to know what Dr. Lafferty's meals would look like, thanks for sharing that.
Our standard FHE treat is smoothies made with frozen fruit and almond milk. (both from Costco) Depending on the fruit, I add a little maple syrup.
Last night for dinner I cut up a bunch of broccoli, 4 carrots into sticks, and coarsely chopped a large onion and put them all in a bowl. Then I mixed 3 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. sesame oil, 1/4 c. soy sauce, (or coconut aminos) 1/2 tsp. garlic granules, and about 2 tsp. fresh grated ginger. I tossed the veggies with that, then put them on a 10x15 baking sheet and baked them until the broccoli started getting little black ends (it's SO good like that). The thought was to have stir-fry without the stirring. Well, I forgot all about the meat, and Eli and I ended up just eating a big pile of veggies before I could get plastic noodles cooked. Delicious. Eric had his veggies on rice with a leftover lamb chop. That's about how I roll for dinner!
