Really? Do Texas people hold a grudge against beans? :) Is there anything else that sets texas chili apart from the "regular" one?

I came across some recipes that finish chili off with a beer (I won't be trying that) and some swear by a secret ingredient - dark chocolate. That one is tempting, but my chili was so good I was afraid of ruining it with chocolate.

Really? I have read on English websites that ground beef is one of the cheapest ways to buy beef, and it is true where I live as well. One kilo (is it 2 pounds?) costs about 5-6 € in a supermarket (but that is of questionable origin), and I paid only 6,50 € at my butcher´s, who sells premium locally pasture-raised meat.




Today, for my hair I ate sardines, veggies, broccoli, leftover chili. Not for my hair I ate an undisclosed number of gluten&sugar-free banana muffins with PB.

Ironically, although New Zealand is famous for its happy grass-fed beef and frolicking juicy little lambs, most of it gets exported to other countries and so the price is higher in the local supermarket for good beef.
I had to buy nice beef this time because it was for a meal with my parents. Parents always know all about good meat, of course! :toast:

Today for my afternoon tea I had Earl Grey tea, and cow feta cheese with plump juicy figs. :o

junk and delicious green olive dip

Oatmeal with banana and lingonberries, coffee, sandwiches with boiled eggs, ham and mayonnaise. Fried fish with potatoes and tomatoes.
Nettle tea.
Will probably have some yoghurt with nuts and raisins in the evening and drink white tea;)

Mmmmm, this is one of those times when we read someone else's post about food and think "Oh, I wish I could go visit their house for dinner!". :p

I feel the same every time I read Ylva's post here:p.

That would be an awfully long trip, but of course if you ever feel like visiting Sweden, welcome ;)

That's very kind of you, I will keep it in mind if I ever get to Sweden! :o

I had a nice French-toast style scrambled eggs sans the toast, along with custard, molasses, bananas. Then some leftover bone broth, and broccoli with yogurt&tahini dressing.

I love reading this thread! It gives me meal ideas.

I recently started working out a bit (as opposed to never working out at all), and I got excited about trying to fit in a lot more protein each day to support the new activity.

But the recommended amount of protein feels very different to what I'm used to (I'm trying to hit 150g each day, which means eating 30g five times a day). I was like wow I do not feel like eating meat 5 times a day, so now I'm on a roll with thinking of my meals like this:

Shake meal - protein shake with strawberries and a cup of tea in the morning
egg meal - 5 eggs scrambled with spinach
yogurt meal - a ton of greek yogurt with honey
fish meal - I bake a filet of tilapia and eat it with salad
meat meal - I fry a burger and eat that with a salad

And my god it feels like a lot of food, but I feel good! And I'm wondering what all this protein will end up doing for my hair growth :cool:

Same here, Abacus, I get ideas from this thread too. My favorite one recently was the high protein Banana Pancakes (One mashed banana, two eggs, pinch of cinnamon and cook like regular pancakes. I can get three pancakes out of this amount of batter) recipe from Kelp. Yummmmmmm. :o

Hahaha :) You are also most welcome to visit me sometime for dinner! :grin:

But on that note... I betrayed myself yesterday and had pizza. :couch: It was a super nice pizza, though! Smoked reindeer, kebab, pineapple, and Aura cheese (a type of blue cheese). Super busy day, and no way of cooking, so it is what it is!

Ylva, smoked reindeer and pineapple are the most exotic things I have ever heard of as a topping for pizza! Wow! :toast:

I'm one of those crazy people who think that pineapple definitely belongs on pizza! Here, people are quite passionately split on that matter. I can imagine that reindeer would sound quite exotic indeed!

As of today, I'm still fasting. I don't think my body can handle another day of "normal" carb-containing food. I am definitely feeling it :brains:

Eggs for breakfast with turmeric and pepper. I'm trying to eat more eggs these days!

Too much, apparently.
I got on the bathroom scales after quite a few weeks of what I thought was 'better eating' to find that I hadn't lost one kilo.
I had stopped buying my favourite chocolate biscuits (English use of the word 'biscuits', of course, not the American South ones with gravy) as well. :justy:

Chicken, teriyaki tuna, and too much coffee.

I can definitely relate to the "too much coffee" :D I think it was my grandma that once told me that drinking black coffee is good for the hair, but I have no idea if it's true or not.

Cottage cheese, protein drink, turkey sandwich on whole grain sourdough, homemade chicken soup, pumpkin seed oil supplements, multivitamin, and about 1 liter of water.
I've been trying to eat healthy and get enough protein to meet my hair health and fitness goals but my stomach has been so messed up this week. I've had a lot of days mostly eating crackers and rice porridge :/

Ham and egg sandwich.
Salad of cabbage, apple, carrot, baby beetroot, chopped fresh coriander leaves and lots of garlic hummus.
Can of tuna with tomato and basil.
Lemon Greek yoghurt.
AND chocolate biscuits and hazelnut flavoured coffee. Because apparently it doesn't make any difference if I give them up. Hah! :agree:

It was! I always try to include a salad at every dinner to get plant nutrient things, and I looooove the hummus! :o

Yesterday, but I have to mention it because it was best damned breakfast I had in a looooong time. Made oatmeal according to this recipe and it was the best oatmeal I ever had. Used organic yogurt to ferment oats overnight and served the porridge with it also. Added raisins, walnuts too. Drank with it a hot cocoa made with fresh raw milk, molasses and gingerbread spices.

Today, for my hair, I made a tuna&cod liver pasta salad with veggies.

Cheese, lettuce and Marmite sandwich.
Salad: Red cabbage, green cabbage, apple, carrot and smoke flavoured mayonnaise.
Ham and egg sandwich.
Canned cherries with vanilla Greek yogurt.
Handful of mixed roast nuts.

mild butter chicken curry with garlic naan bread and a pepsi Max

Masala omelette with looooooots of spinach.

Rice, turkey meatballs, and sweet chili sauce
Protein drink
Blueberries
Gonna order some Chinese food for dinner: dry fried string beans, noodles, and 1-2 proteins.

Roasted Zucchini and brussels sprouts with olive oil and lots of spices. Ate with greek yogurt, yum

Salad: Red and green cabbage, apple, carrot, chopped walnuts and mayonnaise.
A small packet of smoked salmon on a slice of rye bread with some dill, and I tipped every last drop of the bright orange smoky flavoured salmon oil onto the bread to enjoy it! :o

Venison summer sausage and some good cheddar cheese with crackers.

Salmon and Caesar Salad, I'm trying to fix my bad diet

A very nice ham, lettuce and cranberry jelly sandwich on light rye bread. :o
Big bowl of mixed salad. Mango Greek yogurt.

Tofu scramble, cheese and butter, veggies. Beef liver, potatoes, carrots, broccoli. Raw milk heated up with spices - fresh ginger and some turmeric, cinnamon and honey. Aaand homemade chocolate, which has to be good for hair, right? - made of coconut oil, raw cocoa powder, honey and coconut flakes.

Wow, Nefcerka, you always put so much effort and thought into your cooking! And, yes, I am almost certain that chocolate is very good for our hair! :o

Couple of coffees, chocolate cookies a sprinkled dounut, a couple tuna avo and cheese wrap and I just finished some peanut butter toast. So much for changing my diet lol

Protein shake, tomato soup and half a grilled cheese on sourdough, some sliced turkey, and French onion white bean soup. Should have done way better on the fruit & vegetable front but I didn't have much appetite today :c

Tempeh, brown rice, veggies.

Garlic naan with cheese and a pepsi max
Now it's time for peanut butter toast and a coffee

Today I ate... my username! (With egg also, for protein, and some fruits and veggies)
