Hare's Daily Barefoot Digest (you are what you eat) thread...

I liked the idea of this on RW, can we continue on here with this.

I ate a lot of crapola again today, sweets are my downfall

breakfast was honey grahams and oj

snack/lunch was pretzels, cheese and rice crispy bar

snack rhubarb strawberry bar

dinner white chicken chili, honey whole wheat bread and milk

dessert, ice cream



not a whole lot for fruit or veggies in there

whatchya eatin?

For dinner I had, GET THIS!

For dinner I had, GET THIS! Two hot dogs on a bed of Quinoa (Keen wa), with grilled zuchini and onion rings. I don't recommend hot dogs with Quinoa, yuch bad idea...wish I could start over.

At least hte brownies for dessert were good. The At 8:00 I had POPCORN (where is that popcorn smiley)

hmmm popcorn, I have no will

hmmm popcorn, I have no will against it...I could eat a whole big bowl of the stuff on my own. Has to be air popped with a bit of butter, salt and parmesan cheese though. Pairs nicely with a glass of wine too.

and hot dogs on Quinoa?? interesting combo Larry

This morning I had eggs,

This morning I had eggs, wheat toast and fruit (sliced strawberries, pineapple and blackberries). I didn't eat that until 10 or so, so didn't have a snack.

Lunch was late as well and consisted of some leftover pasta and a salad with yucky iceburg lettuce cause my baby spinach was slimy. Cherry tomatoes off my plant made it nicer though.

Snack was some corn chips on the way to my daughter's softball game (they won, undefeated and so go to play offs on Sat. Woot!) and ate some gummy fruit things while there.

Dinner was fried tofu, baked sweet potato, green beans and asparagus. Kids had steak instead of tofu, regular baked taters and I made cous cous for the feral that doesn't like potatoes(strange child!)

Will probably eat a banana or something similar before I go to bed but not sure. Drinks for the day was decaf iced tea and water.

Oh, I love quinoa. It has a fun texture. I keep it cooked in the fridge and eat it for breakfast. Add a bit of milk and nuke it then cinnamon and sugar, fruit or whatever. Is delish.

Cali, how long does it take

Cali, how long does it take to make the yogurt? I'm going to have to try it, do you follow a specific recipe?

Zumba -- Ummm Takes a while

Zumba -- Ummm Takes a while but not constant time like you have to stand there and do anything. 5 to 10 min here and there. lol I read these blog posts on yogurt making and then just went for it. http://travelingtastebuds.blogspot.com/2009/08/easy-homemade-yogurt.html and http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/10/you-can-make-yogurt-in-your-crockpot.html?commentPage=2



I did use a candy thermometer at 1 hour intervals during the heat up and cool down phases because I had no idea how hot my crock pot runs. Once I wrapped it up though I didn't bug it again for like 10 hours. Also, I put it in a colander lined with wet coffee filters and strained nearly all of it for 3 hours in the fridge over a bowl. It came out really thick and nice. Before straining though we used some of the thinner stuff and made smoothies. After straining I added a few tablespoons of honey and a tablespoon of vanilla to the whole thing since I prefer nilla yogurt. I did taste it plain though and was surprised that I actually liked it because I don't normall like plain yogurt at all.

I don't know if this is something I will do all the time or not as it is not overly cost effective. A 1/2 gal of organic milk here costs me about $3.50. I guess I could use non organic milk but still... I usually just buy the tub of vanilla Dannon naturals since it doesn't have a bunch of extra crap in it. I will say though that the taste of the homeade stuff is far superior in my opinion so that might very well sway me.



I love trying new stuff though and love when it actually comes out so this was fun.

ROCK ON, Barefoot.Zumba.Runne

ROCK ON, Barefoot.Zumba.Runner!!!!

;o)

I'm flattered!

[sorry, I've been gone a bit.... lots of stuff going down on the home-front...]



Did I mention I like CHIA!



Oh, and we had HOMEMADE PIZZA tonight....mmmmm.... makes the take-out stuff = not so good, eh?!!?

Thanks for sharing Cali, it

Thanks for sharing Cali, it sounds a bit involved...will have to make it an over the summer activity for the kids and I maybe. I'm impressed to hear that the taste is that great! I'm excited to try it out.

Hare, good to see you back in the swing! Had to carry on your new eats tradition over here. I like food talk and recipe swapping! And chia...good stuff, as well as home made pizza!
