Egg Sandwich Reviews

I’m on a quest for a good egg sandwich in New York City. 

I like egg salad. I like bacon egg and cheese. The classic BEC is one of the building blocks of society here in the city and I’m going to find the good ones.  Today: Paris Baguette - 4/13/22

What makes a good egg salad sandwich for me is the addition of bread and butter pickles, the way grandma used to make. I’m unlikely to find that anywhere outside of my own kitchen but in the meantime, here’s the Paris Baguette version. Despite its name Paris Baguette is a Korean chain, with several outposts here in NYC. Remarkably it survived the exodus of foreign-owned businesses in the first year of the pandemic, maybe because it serves a tasty variety of hot and cold coffee and matcha drinks, and all kinds of fusion treats, including magnificent looking pieces of layer cake. 

Paris Baguette is always a good stop when you are out and about in the city and need to refuel. They have all the regular coffee and tea drinks - no bubble tea here - and beautiful looking baked goods. My go to is actually the red bean rice donut - a kind of deep fried mochi the size of a baseball, filled with red bean paste and dipped in brown sugar. It is not healthy but it is tasty. It is also incredibly chewy because it’s made of rice flour. A lot of tastes and textures,  ANYWAY, that brings us to today. Paris Baguette offers a slate of premade sandwiches of the normal sort - turkey and swiss, roast beef, and egg salad. Today I tried their egg salad sandwich for the first time. 

As you can see from the photos this is PACKED. You are getting your helping of protein here. There isn’t a lot of mayo or butter on this so it’s a bit dry, especially when combined with the thick Texas Toast style white bread.  The saving grace here is that the layer of egg is cradled by two layers of cucumber.  This gives the sandwich an overall crisp, fresh  presentation that is quite pleasant...and filling, but it’s also a bit bland.  Overall this sandwich was good but I won’t go out of my way for it - which I had to do on this day. 

Pros: Fresh vegetable content, lots of egg.  Cons: Hard to get mouth around because the egg is piled so high; not a lot of seasoning.

When was the last time you used a regular telephone?  Like a week or so ago. We do still have a landline that we give out to doctors and such and just use it for the answering machine. I hardly ever use it, but I was listening to a message from my doctor and just called them back on that phone.  How many times have your comments been top comments on YouTube? I don’t know. I don’t go back and check my comments. Would you ever wear a wig?  No, but I kinda want to invest a good quality one. I’ve struggled with keeping up the maintenance of my hair (I dye it) and it’s just a mess. It’s been almost a year now since I’ve last gotten it done and ugh it looks awful. I just don’t have the energy or motivation and my self-care game is weak. I’ve really neglected taking care of myself in a lot of ways. :/ Anyway, a wig would be great for the times in between getting my hair done. I wear a hat every time I go somewhere because I’m self-conscious. What did you learn today? Nothing really so far.  What are you most afraid of? Losing my loved ones, health related stuff and things never getting better/getting worse, and never doing anything with my life and continuing to just waste away.

Are you watching TV as your fill out this survey? No, I’m listening to/watching an ASMR video. Have you ever tried to make a movie? Ha, yeah. We had to make a short movie in a class for high school, but my friend and I  made a couple ourselves just for fun as well. When’s the last time you turned something upside down?

I haven’t been to the mall since like November last year, but I mean yeah I’ve gone on weekdays and weekends. The day didn’t really matter. Would you rather have a million dollars or be able to fly? I’ll take the money. Do you like Friday or Saturday nights more? It doesn’t make a difference to me. Have you ever been ice skating? Nope. Do you hate it when guys treat girls like crap? I hate it when anyone is treated like crap. Do you like turkey or ham more? I’m a turkey gal all way. I’ll eat a spiral ham, which we typically have on Easter and Christmas, but that’s it. When did you realize that Canadian bacon was just ham? I don’t know. I hate it, though. Like the texture alone literally makes me gag. Like I said previously, I’m not big on ham, but I don’t like Canadian bacon at all. Have you ever slapped someone’s butt? Yeah. Do you ever have sleepless nights? Yeppp. What’s something that always comes and goes? Each day. How many pillows do you sleep with? I have like 6 on my bed, but only use 2. Do you want to help save the rainforest?

Those things I’ve had just about everyday. Did it snow today where you live? No. It doesn’t snow here. :/

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be someone else? Yeah, like someone who’s an actual functioning adult for one. Someone who is healthy. Happy. Successful. I’d love to experience that.

Whew!

I made it over the grumpy hump that was in my way yesterday and spent time in the sunshine today.  It was exactly what I needed.  I checked every square inch of  my gardens and I’m satisfied with what I saw.  Teeny-tiny zinnias are popping their sweet heads up where I threw seeds so I’ve got a litter of babies to watch.  Other residents are bigger ans stronger. The salvia is going nuts and the bees are loving it.  Here’s some very blurry proof.   The only thing in focus is the stem in the foreground. Oops.  I’m out of practice.

We’ll just pretend that it’s a dreamy watercolor painting, mmmkay? The basil is thriving and promises to add fresh flavor to many,many meals and snacks.

I scattered seed for dill because I love it in tuna and chicken salads, mayo for sandwiches, on fish and roasted potatoes, need I go on?

More babies!  Of course, I’ll have to thin that once I see what I’ve got.  Looks like I’ll have plenty to choose from. I still practice the good advice I received from Sally Owens in the movie Practical Magic (a favorite!).

 “There are some things I know for certain: always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder; keep rosemary by your garden gate; plant lavender for luck; and fall in love whenever you can.”  - Sally Owens Rosemary growing by my garden gate...

and my lavender for luck is booming!

I see a couple of weeds in that photo that I’ll have to go back out and pull. Arrgh! As far as falling in love whenever I can, I do!  I fall in love with animals, flowers, sunny days, good recipes, a good thunderstorm, a good book, and with that sweet fellow that lives here, day after day. This time of year I’m also in love with the idea of nurturing baby plants into productive members of society.  I ordered some hardy blue geraniums from a seed catalog and they arrived in a tiny plastic bag, just shriveled roots.  So I pampered them and put them to bed and lo and behold, I’m seeing GREEN!

That little plant is about the size of my thumb, but there’s hope!  This one is only about the size of my thumb nail, but I’ll talk sweetly to it and try to convince it to step away from the ledge.

This patch of thyme is doing beautifully, probably because it has its own cat.

Everything is a bit messy because of the storms we’ve had the last few days.  I’ll tidy up.

Mickey’s favorite, Mexican Heather, is blooming like crazy.  You can’t kill this stuff.

This lobelia sits in a bright pot on the porch.  She’s a bit of a drama queen, always ready to end it all if her shade, water,sun mixture isn’t just right.  The southern sun is not her friend, she’s a belle.  

These poor impatiens are still waiting to be nestled into that colander.  I’ve been trying to get some coco fiber mats, which is what I like to line my pots and planters with - but I don’t want to go into Lowe’s, where they’re just $1.98, and I sure don’t want to order them through Amazon where they’re charging $14 for a pair  What a rip off.  I tried to do a Lowe’s curbside pickup but it doesn’t appear that they’re doing small garden items. Dang it.  I’ll have to improvise.

Right in front of the porch I’ve got parsley shooting up  beside a hydrangea.  Parsley always does really well in that front bed and it’s nice to go out and snip some when I need it.

Most of the perennials aren’t blooming yet, but they look healthy and happy. The front porch isn’t quite ready yet, but it’s starting to look comfy again.

Remember last fall we had the old deck torn down and a new one built?  It’s time to stain it, we just have to have a string of dry days - something we haven’t had in months.  Still, that didn’t stop me from getting it ready for summer with a pretty pink geranium.

Cheerful! I have two white shutters that I’m dying to turn into a plant stand and put over in that left corner.  It could hold some pretty potted herbs or blooms.  Something like this.

Oh, I’ve got so many plans! And speaking of making things, I’m still sending out cards.  They’re far from perfect -  in fact they’re all a bit wonky.  But the people receiving them understand that I’m a bit wonky as well and overlook my errors. I sent this one out today to a dear pal.

I sent my mom a funny card for Mother’s Day, but you’d have to know the back story.  She used to tell us that when she was a kid she was so poor she had a tumbleweed for a pet.  So I took an adorable childhood photo of her...

Front                                                     and inside

I made a card for Mickey’s mom as well.  I don’t think I snapped a pic of the finished product, but it started with this photo of Mickey and his siblings.

The message inside said “Thanks for doing an incredible job, Mom”.   Keeping those hooligans alive should have earned her combat pay! Two with cap guns, one with a baton and one with a jump rope.  That’s a recipe for disaster if I’ve ever seen one.  Anyway, I had a ball making fun cards for the people we love and I’ve got another couple in progress on my desk that will probably go in the mail tomorrow.    I’ve made a few that were PG-13 so I won’t share them here.  Don’t knock it, it’s keeping me sane. Know what’s keeping Mickey sane?  Food.  I give him things like this angel food cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream and tell him its on his diet.  It could be worse, right?

I give him a lot of salads, so I don’t deny him the occasional treat.  He’s got a monster of a sweet tooth and sometimes an apple just doesn’t cut it.  I can’t wait until we start getting the first really good watermelons of the season.  That’s the best candy around! Alright, I’ve rambled enough.  I’ve adjusted my attitude, soaked up some sunshine, fiddled in the gardens, and made a good meal that included dessert.  If that’s not a good day I don’t know what is.  Last night’s bubble bath didn’t hurt.  I soaked and read while that big, full moon peeped through the window.  It was wonderful.  What’s that quote about the faithfulness of nature?  Whatever it is, that’s what’s getting me through.  The reliable, buzzing bee, the seeds sprouting and pushing toward the sun, and that bright moon shining down on us while the earth wakes and stretches.  That rhythm never fails us, no matter what else is happening in the world.  Thank goodness. Stay safe, stay well, stay focused on the good that’s all around us.

XOXO- Nancy

16 Impactful 2020 Resolutions So Easy You Could Start Them Today (Because It’s Never Too Late)

January 1st has come and gone, and if you’re anything like me, reality has set in that my big aspirations going into the new year are going to be a lot harder than I thought.

This should really come as no surprise. Whenever I look back on the goals I set for myself during previous years vs. what actually happened, it’s always a little disappointing.

Sure, I might do some cool things, go somewhere amazing, or hit a new running goal, but when I think about what those resolutions were meant to do — to help me grow, improve my health or fitness, or make me happier — how successful was I?

You likely feel the same way.

New year’s resolutions get such a bad reputation because they’re notoriously ambitious and unplanned.

And that’s why most people fail… if they bother to set a resolution at all.

This year, I’m doing something different, and as it turns out, Matt decided (independently) to do the same thing.

So it got us thinking… maybe we can convince you to join us.

Here’s the deal:

If you’re sitting around already struggling through your 2020 resolution, or if you didn’t set any at all, don’t stress. Instead of opting for the big, ambitious goal, go small.

Set tiny micro habits that take very little effort and, therefore, are more likely to succeed.

The power in these micro resolutions or habits isn’t the overnight transformation. Instead, it’s that they’re easy.

You’ll have mini wins throughout the year — hopefully even on the first day — start taking on more than one, and begin to shift the way you think about healthy changes.

And by the time 2020 is done, you’ll be able to look back on the past 12 months and see the real impact they’ve had on your health and happiness.

Micro Habits You Can Start Anytime

Matt and I discussed this idea, plus the 16 habits we recommend most, in a recent episode of No Meat Athlete Radio. You can check it out here:

Huge thanks to our new podcast sponsor Ned, and their collection of Full Spectrum Hemp Oil products. Use code “NOMEAT” for 15% off your order and free shipping.

But if you’d rather keep reading, I’ve outlined each of our favorite micro habits or resolutions below.

Start a few of them now, introducing others throughout the year as they become part of your routine. And don’t be afraid the introduce your own. The options are endless here, and I’m confident you could come up with 16 others.

Our list to get you started:

1. Make your bed every morning. Oddly enough, this simple, 1-minute task is scientifically linked to happiness. And as Matt puts it, “makes you feel like an adult.”

2. Carry a reusable bag around whenever you shop. Single-use plastic is a major issue around the world, and while significantly reducing or eliminating our plastic consumption should be a goal we all work towards, it’s really hard. A small, little-effort habit like simply carrying a reusable bag with you whenever you shop is a great way to start. Not just at the grocery store, but when you head to the mall, pharmacy, or even to your favorite take-out spot.

3. No screens in bed. For some of us, this might be a bit harder than others, but by cutting out screen time in bed, you’ll sleep better and start your day off without the immediate jolt from email or social media.

4. Do something you already do… a little bit better. Instead of feeling like you have to cut beer, coffee, or junk food entirely, what if you just did it a little better? Opted for a lower alcohol beer, or limit coffee to just one cup per day. Or if you’re making a sandwich and typically use vegan mayo, swap it for healthier mustard instead. As you’re moving throughout the day, think of everything you’re doing, and if there’s a way to improve it just a little bit.

5. 2 minutes of pushups each day. Simple, quick, and will likely lead to more over time.

6. A smoothie, salad, and supplements every day. So often we try to completely overhaul our nutrition when instead, including a few easy, nutritious sides can have a massive impact. A smoothie, salad, and supplement each day ensures you’re getting a boost of fruits, veggies, and nutrients no matter what.

7. Stand, when you can. At a standing desk if you have one, while grabbing a drink with friends, or just for a few minutes every hour.

8. Take the stairs. Along those same lines, get in the habit of taking the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator. It might seem like a hassle at first, but it’ll quickly become your default.

9. Drink two glasses of water before coffee. It will not only rehydrate you after a long night of sleep but will give your body a chance to wake up before you pump it with caffeine (which can reduce the risk of coffee addiction and reduce the amount you drink).

10. Reach out to one person per day. Feeling like you’re losing touch with friends and family? Call, text, or email one person per day you wouldn’t otherwise talk to.

11. Hang with friends once per week. A Harvard study found that people who leaned into community and friends were happiest. Too often we get overwhelmed with life and forget about fun and relationships. Once per week, reach out to a friend and schedule a hangout.

12. Read one book per month. Twelve books is no joke, but when you frame it as just one per month, it doesn’t sound as ambitious. Bonus points for making them books you read just because they’re fun.

13. 20 minutes of journaling or Morning Pages every day. It’s a way to clear your mind or process the day, even if that writing gets thrown away right after.

14. Do one “enrichment habit” per day. Enrichment habits are all about something you enjoy — time with family, learning a craft or skill, cooking (if that’s fun for you). But typically when we talk about habits, we talk about operation system habits, like eating healthier or setting a morning routine. Here, instead of focusing on one of the operational habits, making a giant list of all the enrichment habits you wish you’d make time for, and aim for at least one per day.

15. Spend 5 minutes per day decluttering your house. Not just tidying, but finding a home for items that haven’t had a specific place before, or going through books, papers, or clothing and getting rid of the ones you no longer want or need. To help, you could start in a central location in your house, and every day spend five minutes working outward from there. (Or if you’re ready to go all-in, we love the Kanmarie Method.)

16. Go somewhere you’ve never been before at least once per month. To help break free of the repetition funk and get outside your comfort zone, challenge yourself to visit a new restaurant, park, city, or store at least once per month.

BONUS: Need more? Tackle these monthly challenges: For the past several years we’ve released monthly challenges for your health and fitness. If you’re looking for more structure or ideas, check out these monthly challenge posts:

Success Doesn’t Happen Overnight

You know the saying, “success doesn’t happen overnight”?

That doesn’t just refer to business, acting, or music. The same can be said for building a healthy, happy lifestyle.

You might read the ideas above and think they look easy or that something as simple as making your bed won’t change your world.

That’s the point.

By focusing on these small, easily approachable habits instead of massive goals, you’ll slowly build on a routine rooted in positive daily actions.

And before you know it, you’ll change your life.

The Truth About Fat In Your Diet

Here’s what’s healthy and what’s not. By Anna Almendrala

Eating fat makes you fat, right? If this is what you think, you’re wrong. But it’s not your fault — it’s probably what you were led to believe.

Actually, unsaturated fats, like those found in plant-based oils, nuts and fatty fish, are good for you because they help protect you from heart disease, help you maintain a healthy weight and even have some superficial benefits for your skin and hair.

But there’s a lot of confusion out there about the role dietary fat plays in our lives, and it’s no wonder we’re mixed up about it.

The History

Starting around 1980, top nutrition experts and the federal government advised all Americans to dramatically cut back on dietary fat to avoid heart disease and weight gain.

Back in the day, notes NPR, these experts wanted us to replace dietary fats — from olive oil to butter to nuts — with healthy carbohydrates, like whole grains, vegetables and fruits. This was based on well-meaning but misleading research that showed a correlation between diets high in fat and people with high cholesterol levels in their blood.

But of course, people didn’t really replace big, juicy steaks with more vegetables. Instead, food companies co-opted this “low fat” message, creating high-sugar, low-nutrient snacks and foods that technically fit the low-fat bill but were anything but healthy. Anyone who recalls chowing down on Snackwell’s fat-free Devil’s Food Cookie Cakes will remember this era.

The Message Today

Now, more than three decades later, Americans are heavier and have more heart disease than ever before, and researchers suspect that when we replaced that fat in our diets with sugar and refined starch, it led to increased obesity and metabolic diseases like Type 2 diabetes. Both of these conditions can increase the risk for cardiovascular disease.

“Actually, farmers have known for thousands of years that you can make animals fat by feeding them grains, as long as you don’t let them run around too much, and it turns out that applies to humans,” said Harvard University food researcher Walter Willett in a past interview with PBS. “We can very easily get fat from eating too many carbohydrates, and the public was really directed to only focus on fat calories, when we really have to keep an eye on calories no matter where they’re coming from.”

Today, health experts and the federal government are trying to recalibrate the needle on dietary fat. With more complete, rigorously-conducted research about how unsaturated fats (like mono- and polyunsaturated fats) can actually protect people from heart disease, the nation’s top nutritionists want to make sure that blanket, low-fat diet advice for the general audience is a thing of the past.

How Fats Work

One thing we do know now: Dietary fat isn’t evil, it’s simply a highly-concentrated source of calories that helps your body absorb essential vitamins like A, D, E and K. Fat helps keep your hair strong and glossy and your skin clear and youthful-looking. And contrary to what we’ve thought in the past, moderate amounts of healthy dietary fat can actually improve cardiovascular health, not harm it. Finally, for people who are trying to lose weight, foods with these fats can also help keep them satisfied for longer, which means they can eat less food to feel full.

Polyunsaturated fats, which are found in fatty fish like salmon and trout, as well as sunflower oil, walnuts and sunflower seeds, help reduce levels of LDL cholesterol in the body, which can help lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. Nutritionists refer to polyunsaturated fats (omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids) as essential fatty acids, because your body needs them to function and can’t produce them on its own. Monounsaturated fat, which is found in olive oil, avocados, peanut butter, nuts and seeds, can also have a similar effect on your body.

In light of all this new research about the role healthy fats play in our bodies, the 2015 Dietary Guidelines, which are the U.S. government’s food and nutrition recommendations through 2020, actually dispensed with a traditional upper limit on the amount of fat a person should eat every day. Instead of eating a low-fat diet, Americans should eat a low saturated fat diet, explained Harvard’s Frank Hu, who helped create the guidelines.

A good serving size of healthy oils is around five teaspoons or 27 grams per day for someone eating a 2,000 calorie diet, according to the dietary guidelines.

However, there are two kinds of fat that Americans should keep at bay. Saturated fat, which is mostly found in meat and dairy products, should make up no more than 10 percent of a person’s diet because of its “strong relationship” with cardiovascular disease risk, notes the guidelines. Replacing one percent of calories from saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat reduces the risk of coronary heart disease by two to three percent, said the researchers who helped create the guidelines.

And there is no generally safe level of trans fat, which found mostly in pre-packaged, frozen and canned baked goods, because of its association with cardiovascular disease risk. That’s why the Food and Drug Administration is phasing out the ingredient in the U.S. food supply.

Whether you’re trying to lose weight or help maintain a healthy weight, don’t fear the fat. Use plant-based oils to make your foods more delicious, toss back a handful of nuts if you need a snack, and load up on rich, fatty foods like avocado and fish to give your body the nutrition it needs. To get some ideas about some healthy sources of dietary fat, check out the list below. Are you missing out on healthy fats in your diet?

Avocado

Half of an avocado

contains nearly 15 grams of fat total, and almost 10 of those are monounsaturated (2 grams are polyunsaturated). Try it in place of mayo on your next sandwich.

Almonds (And Other Nuts)

Just about any nut can make for a healthy fat-filled snack, but almonds happen to be the lowest in calories . One ounce — about 23 whole almonds — contains just over 14 grams of fat, including nearly 9 grams monounsaturated and about 3.5 polyunsaturated.

Salmon (And Other Fatty Fish)

Salmon may be one of the most well-known fatty fish, but tuna, mackerel and sardines also offer a heart-healthy dose of fats. If you’re going to stick with the familiar, look for wild-caught salmon . A three-ounce serving of chinook ( often the most expensive option , according to Eating Well), contains nearly 9 grams of fat, including nearly 4 grams monounsaturated and about 2.5  polyunsaturated. The milder coho salmon and the oilier sockeye both contain less, at around 5 total grams of fat, with nearly 2 grams each of mono- and polyunsaturated fat.

Olives (And Olive Oil)

Mixing 10 large olives into your next salad will add about 5 grams of fat, 3.5 of which are monounsaturated and .4 of which are polyunsaturated. Not an olive fan? The oil is an even more concentrated source of healthy fats — just don’t be too heavy-handed on your pour: A single tablespoon contains over 13 grams of fat, nearly 10 of which are monounsaturated and about 1.5 are polyunsaturated.

Flax (And Other Seeds)

One tablespoon of whole flaxseed — which you can toss into salads, soups, smoothies, yogurt and more — contains just over 4 grams of fat, including nearly 1 gram monounsaturated and almost 3 grams polyunsaturated.

Flax seeds also contain anywhere from 75 to 800 times more lignans, a component of plants that act as antioxidants, than other plant foods,

WebMD reported

A tablespoon of sesame seeds contains about 1.5 grams of monounsaturated fat and 2 grams of polyunsaturated fat. And an ounce of pumpkin seeds pack about 2 grams of monounsaturated fat and 2.5 grams of polyunsaturated fat.

Eggs One large, whole egg has almost 5 grams of fat , including roughly 2 grams monounsaturated and about 1 polyunsaturated.

So.  I apparently have a trigger.  It’s an ugly one and it hits hard and it returned me to a very unhealthy place.  Long post and Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified ahead.

And thank you, anon, for your words.  I hope you’re right.

I have recently been diagnosed with a few things and have medications which are helping, but this particular medication is having an amazing and GOOD effect on me.  I am awake and aware, I don’t need to do three things at once to focus on something, I actually can focus, so much good stuff.  But yes, it has an effect on my appetite.  I have fantastic willpower and I generally really, really hate anything that fucks with my appetite cause that will generally lead to me not eating enough.  So that’s what I’m dealing with here.  I probably wasn’t eating enough, but I felt good and I was basically grazing, so I figured, okay, we’re still okay.

Only...the doc who prescribed pull that trigger fucking hard.

So the medication works for ADHD and though I have a sensory processing disorder, she can’t quite say I have ADHD.  But she can put in her notes that she is prescribing it for “binge eating,” not because I have it, but because she thinks the med will help.  And it has.  I felt better than I had in years.  So I’m on this for about a month and doing great.  My therapist was THRILLED with my progress and we were going to really work hard on my BDD.  

Then I had the follow-up appt.  Where the doc kept harping on how well the med worked for my binge eating and controlling cravings and overeating.  Like over and over and over.

Let me tell you a lil something about me.

I’m a stress-starver.  It comes from my teens where I was constantly told that, being overweight and trying to lose weight, I ate too much, that I ate like a pig, eat less.  This is from DOCTORS, mind you.  Yes, doctors told me this.  Constantly.

So I did that.  I ate less.  Still couldn’t lose weight.  Same deal - “you eat too much.”  So I ate less.

I was down to one meal a day:  a sandwich.  Two pieces of bread, some mayo, some chicken.

Guess what?  Yep, “you eat too much.”

So I STOPPED eating.  Food was the enemy.  My body needed fuel, but I didn't want it and the docs assumed I ate and never stopped and kept telling me to eat less and less and less.  Obviously, I was still eating too much, right?  So hey, okay, I’ll eat less.  Just enough to keep me standing...and sometimes, not even then.  Super healthy, yo.  Bodies don’t like to lose weight in Starvation Mode.  But I was too fat for that and I ate too much, right?  So I essentially stopped eating.

That's not binging.  It's not binge/purge.  It's punishment for being fat and ugly and self-harm by restricting food because I wasn't worthy of it and it was ultimately bad for me.  If I had been a skinny bit, they probably would’ve diagnosed me with anorexia, but I just never presented with that low body weight or being underweight.  Nope.  Not me.  There is now an atypical anorexia that doesn’t present the classic way, but who are not underweight after significant weight loss.  And even then, I haven’t had significant weight loss in years.  

So there we are - eating disorder NOS, atypical presentation that doesn’t match anorexia, bulimia, binging.  It’s a much bigger diagnosis catch-all than you might realize.

It took me a long time to have a healthier relationship with food, and it's still not great, but it's okay.  Ask anyone in my life and they will tell you the same, that I don't overeat.  Even when I pms and actually crave a junk food?  I don't binge and I normally find a healthier alternative anyway (because junk food doesn't make me feel great).  

There is no secret or hidden eating.  There can definitely be guilt and self-loathing for eating, especially if it's not low-carb, but it’s rare...or at least, it was.  My food intake is not out of control.  I almost never overeat (it doesn't feel good!).  The only time I eat when I am not hungry is normally because I couldn't eat when I was hungry and then proceed to feel ill because my blood sugar has dropped.  Then I have to eat.  But it's not binging.  It's not healthy, and it doesn't fit the major eating disorders, but it's still not binging.

Do I have major body image issues?  Fuck yes.  I have Body Dysmorphic Disorder.  I have horrible self-image and will be sent into a major tailspin if I see photos or, gods, video.  I will stop being able to look in a mirror.  I have covered mirrors for days before.  I will have trouble showering unless I do it with my eyes closed so I don’t have to see the hideousness of me and even then, I still have to touch it to clean it.  I’m very self-critical and hate this body in which I feel trapped.  But I still do things.  I’m still working.  I do theater.  I garden.  I DO THINGS.  I also have an intense fear of gaining weight to be even larger than I am.  Even if I know that I am not the heaviest person in the room, and I can know that, logically, even with sizes or measurements, I will still feel larger, heavier, uglier.  I will feel like the largest, heaviest, ugliest person there even if I know someone is twice or more my size.  My friend at work is probably a good 100+lbs heavier than I am and I just think she’s gorgeous.  Her weight doesn’t matter.  She’s attractive inside and out.  But me?  No.  I”m fat because fat was taught to me as an ugly word.  So I am fat, because it’s ugly.  Other people aren’t fat because they aren’t ugly.  

So what happens when you tell someone, who has already told you all this history about being told you’re fat because you eat too much and that you need to eat less....so YOU DID and that’s also why you stopped going to doctors because you were eating barely enough to stay standing and they still said that, so they obviously didn’t know a fucking thing, and that yet again, I apparently have NO. FUCKING. CLUE. WHAT FOOD I PUT IN MY MOUTH.  

What happens when you tell someone like that that they are binging and eating too much?

Answer:  I stop fucking eating.  

I’m right back to being 18yo and crying because I’m hungry because food is the fucking enemy.  Because apparently, even what I eat, which is definitely light for American portion sizes, but actually really fucking healthy portion sizes, is still too much.  

Even though my sis has been concerned because the medication is altering my appetite to the point where I really don’t eat more than 4oz at a meal, if that...which I did when I was having extreme gallbladder pain at one point.  

Even though she, several friends, and a friend/coworker know how I eat, what I eat, that I don’t overeat, that I can make a sub-in-a-tub style salad into multiple, low-carb, healthy wraps and have lunch for two or three days.  

That I don’t eat or even LIKE much sugar (why the FUCK is everything so gods damned SWEET?  Holy fuck.).  I vastly prefer savory (spice is nice).

I don’t tend to eat breads or potatoes because they make me feel bad (bloaty, ewww...so probably a gluten intolerance?  I don’t know, but I know I don’t feel well when I eat them, so hey, idea!  DON’T EAT WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL BAD.  Crazy AF, I know, right?).

People who know me envy the self-control and willpower that I have regarding food.  They don’t realize it came out of such self-loathing and self-harm mechanisms.  I’ve made it healthier.  I’ve gotten better with food and in a lot of ways, that was because it didn’t really matter what I ate after a point, my weight maintained.  It wasn’t the food...or it wasn’t just the food.  

There’s a fuckton more at work regarding metabolism and hormones and shit that just fuck up a body.  And one medication stopped the bad thoughts from auto-play 24/7 and helped reduce stress to the point I was like, fuck, is this what I am supposed to feel like?  And then this new one, that helps me feel awake, aware, and focused reduced that anxiety even MORE and it’s like another layer of fog is lifted?  To realize how much CONSTANT STRESS AND ANXIETY I had that was literally non-stop fight-or-flight mode?  Gods, no wonder I couldn’t lose weight.  My body was always prepped for disaster and wanted to keep every fucking thing.  I finally felt that I could maybe make a difference and not only feel healthier, but maybe actually get healthier, be in better shape, lose weight.

But to be told that I’m still a binge eater, when I fit only the “feel guilt or shame over eating” NOW, because you brought all that shit back by telling me that I still overeat and that’s why I’m fat and hey, this med is really controlling your binging?

Dinner last night was eight...yes, 8, cashews.  It took me from 9:30 to about 2:30pm today to eat a Sargento’s snack pack (cheese, cashews, raisins in this one).  I had a electrolyte water (36oz or so) and am working on my second bottle (fairly normal).  I went out with friends tonight and managed to slow sip a beer over about two hours as someone was buying and really wanted to buy us a drink, so hey, I got some calories in the beer.  Couldn’t eat though.  The thought of eating today was met with instant recoil.  Food becomes the enemy once again.   It becomes a hyperfixation because it's too much, too much, it's bad for you, stop eating, yes even 4oz is too much, you don't need that much.  And no, I don’t weigh myself or count calories/fat/etc for the same reason - it became a hyperfixation and an emotional minefield where any little (and frequently normal) fluctuation sends me into a very bad place.  If I need to do something like that, measurements are easier for me.  

And that’s not a place I want to be.  I worked SO HARD to not be there.  I KNOW the way I eat is healthy.  I know the portion sizes are good.  I know how to read labels (questionable reliability, but it’s what we’ve got).  I can make good food at home.  I can choose fairly healthy if I’m out and about.  I had made my peace with food and while we would never be great friends, we at least weren’t enemies any more.  

I am trying.  I am.  I, oddly, have some support around me.  A friend really helped tonight, but it’s a serious work-in-progress.  I managed to eat about 8-10 shrimp around midnight but I couldn’t do that with someone watching.  It’s back to the high school cafeteria where it literally didn’t matter what you ate, if you were fat, you weren’t supposed to eat at all.  It’s feeling guilty to be seen eating because you actually have the nerve to have a body that requires sustenance and they will judge you any bite you consume.  The doctor created guilt around food I hadn’t had for YEARS.  Admittedly, I still don’t like work lunch/break rooms, but I just don’t care to socialize with some people and I can keep my phone charged at my desk.  Win-win.  And I don’t generally have a problem eating at restaurants or with friends.  

My friend tonight told me that i am NOT that person I was.  And I’m not.  I have changed so much since then.  And since I know what the doctor said is false, it’s rather like someone yelling at me because they hate my hair for being blonde when it’s black.  It makes no sense and what they said isn’t real; it shouldn’t mean anything.  But it’s a whammy and when you already have a predisposition to fall into self-hate and self-harm, it’s a nasty, ugly whammy that lingers.  It’s an old, well-worn pattern of badness that is only comfortable because you lived it for so long, you know how it works.  

I’m upset.  I’m angry.  I’m furious.  I’m hurt.  

And I don’t know how long it will take to climb out of this.

Egg Recipes to Start Your Morning off Right

Eggs have gotten a bad rap. It’s true they’re high in cholesterol, but everyone responds to cholesterol differently. Eggs don’t raise cholesterol for about 70 percent of us, say scientists at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. In fact, studies have found that eating eggs can raise your good cholesterol—HDL—which helps remove the bad version from your blood stream. If your doctor says you’re okay to eat eggs, you can take advantage of the high-quality protein, heart-healthy unsaturated fats, and vital nutrients these egg recipes deliver.

Here are 11 delicious egg recipes for your day:

Creamy Vegan Pasta Salad (Perfect for Summer!)

Hiya Gorgeous!

Here in the US, we’re about to celebrate one of the biggest holidays of the season—the Fourth of July. That means fireworks (don’t forget to care for your fur pals who might be afraid of the loud noises!), swimming, parades and extra time with the people we love most. And did I mention food? Cookouts/barbecues/feasts of all kinds, here we come!

Pasta salad is a must-have for any summer gathering, but it’s often heavy and laden with not-so-healthy ingredients. I believe that comfort food can be satisfying, indulgent, delicious AND great for you… and this Creamy Vegan Pasta Salad from my Test Kitchen is proof!

It’s everything you’ve ever wanted in a vegan pasta salad and more…

Packed with fresh veggies

Indulgent but won’t weigh you down

Perfect for meal prep or a make-ahead dish

A crowd-pleaser

Gluten-free, and can be made nut and night-shade free

Easy to make

Creamy and smoky

Fresh and summery

Loaded with plant-powered nutrients (more deets in a bit!)

Cheesy (sans the dairy)

And cool with a kick!

Here are some of the superstar ingredients in today’s recipe:

Chickpea pasta: Who says pasta can’t pack a protein punch?! We used Banza’s rotini, which has a whopping 14 g of protein in each 2-oz serving. You should be able to find Banza at your local health food store (especially at a place like Whole Foods), or you can order it in bulk here. This stuff makes a fabulous pantry staple!

Jicama: I was so excited when the Test Kitchen Tuesday crew suggested we feature this starchy root veggie in our vegan pasta salad recipe! Jicama was originally grown in Mexico, and it’s mild, subtly sweet flavor make it super versatile. It’s full of antioxidants like vitamins C and E, selenium and beta-carotene. Plus it contains inulin, a prebiotic fiber that’s good for your gut!

Corn: This gorgeous veggie has gotten a bad rap because of how it’s often farmed here in the states, but corn has a lot of nutritional value (not to mention flavor!) to offer. Just make sure to opt for the organic, non-GMO variety. Sweet corn is a good source of folate, potassium and lots of other wonderful nutrients.

Roasted red pepper: Red bell peppers aren’t just beautiful, they’re also great for you! They’re one of the richest dietary sources of vitamin C, which plays an important role in iron absorption, immune function and many other bodily functions. And roasting bell peppers is one of my favorite ways to eat them because it brings out their natural sweetness and adds a touch of smoky depth—the perfect addition to our vegan pasta salad!

Comfort food can be satisfying, indulgent, delicious AND great for you… and this #TestKitchenTuesday Creamy Vegan Pasta Salad is proof! Get the recipe!

And here’s my favorite part about this scrumptious recipe: It was inspired by elote, aka Mexican street corn. If you’re not familiar with elote, it’s a whole ear of corn grilled, covered with toppings like butter, chili powder, mayo and cotija cheese, and served on a stick (source). Some of those ingredients aren’t so Crazy Sexy friendly (though I have seen plant-based versions available at some restaurants—yay!). But we love the smokey, summery flavor profile of elote, so the Test Kitchen Tuesday team and I dreamed up this tantalizing twist!

Without further ado, let’s get to cookin’, good lookin’!

Creamy Vegan Pasta Salad

Serves 8 (about 1 cup per serving) | Prep time: 15 min | Cook time: 30 min

Pasta Salad Ingredients: 8 oz (224 g) gluten-free chickpea rotini pasta 3 tsp oil, divided 4 ears non-GMO corn (about 2 cups or 270 g kernels) 1 large red bell pepper 1 cup (180 g) halved cherry tomatoes 1 cup (120 g) chopped jicama or radishes 1 Hass avocado, chopped ¼ cup (4 g) chopped fresh cilantro 2 green onions, thinly sliced ½ fresh jalapeño, minced (optional)

Cashew Crema Dressing Ingredients: ¾ cup (90 g) raw cashew pieces, soaked, drained and rinsed 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast 1 garlic clove 2 Tbsp lime juice (about 2 fresh limes) ½ cup (120 ml) water ½ tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp salt ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions: 1. Prepare pasta according to package directions. Strain, rinse with cold water until completely cool and thoroughly drain.

2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). On a baking sheet coated with 2 tsp oil, place ears of corn, husked and cleaned. On a separate baking sheet coated with 1 tsp oil, place red bell pepper. Roast for 30 min, rotating vegetables halfway through, until lightly charred all over.

3. While the vegetables roast and pasta cooks, prepare Cashew Crema Dressing. In a blender, combine all dressing ingredients and purée on high speed until completely smooth. Set aside.

4. Place roasted pepper in a paper bag and seal the top by rolling it closed. Let steam for 15 min before peeling the skin, removing the seeds and roughly chopping.

5. Using a serrated knife, slice kernels off each corn cob.

6. In a large bowl, combine pasta with corn, roasted pepper, tomatoes, jicama or radishes, avocado, cilantro, green onions and jalapeño (if using). Toss together with the dressing and serve immediately.

Notes: Storage tip: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Simplify this recipe: Substitute ¾ cup vegan mayonnaise (such as Earth Balance’s Mindful Dressing and Sandwich Spread) or plain, unsweetened vegan yogurt (such as Kite Hill’s Plain Unsweetened Almond Milk Yogurt) instead of soaked cashews and water. Use frozen roasted corn and jarred roasted red pepper instead of roasting them yourself.

Make it nut-free: Substitute raw, shelled sunflower seeds for the cashews.

Make it nightshade-free: Substitute lightly steamed chunks of zucchini for the tomatoes. Opt for radishes instead of jicama.

Make-ahead tip: Store the salad and dressing separately, mixing together just before serving. You may need to add an extra splash of water to blend smoothly. Keep uncut avocado separate to avoid browning, chop and add to salad just before serving.

Nut soak note: If you have a high-speed blender, you can skip soaking your nuts or seeds. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, you can either soak your nuts or seeds in water for 4 hr, or you can do a “quick soak” by covering them with water in a pot and bringing it to a boil. Once the water boils, remove them from the heat and let them sit for an hour.

I Fed My Family on a Budget and it SUCKED

We're just at the end of week one, and also it's been a little a rough week for us, in all sincerity. Spirits was a bit low throughout the week as we tried to make do with things that weren't our common fare and also the pain that included the abrupt adjustment to our diet regimen, and it was compounded by the truth that my child appears to have actually simply started stockpiling for a growth spurt.

Before we started, I prepped for this difficulty by learning more about the costs of a lot of points I never ever paid also close focus to. I made a checklist of a whole lot of the things that we preferred to buy, and afterwards discovered an average cost for them to ensure that I would have some suggestion of concerning what price was great as well as reasonable without having to spend a hr calculating rates in the supermarket every journey. I likewise understood I was unlikely to be able to maintain to budget plan today, given that my kitchen would certainly be entirely empty besides salt as well as pepper. And also I didn't. I was over by almost $40, restocking the fundamentals like oil, margarine, seasonings, flour, sugar, and vinegar.

I got actually fortunate, just days before the project kicked off, excellent sales began to start. Prices on fresh vegetables and fruits, which had me seriously fretted at the beginning, started to decrease. That provided me a great deal of wiggle space that I could not have had if I had begun this in April, in April, I would certainly have been stuck to mostly tinned and also frozen fruits and vegetables.

Here's the breakdown of the grocery expense:

The Grocery Bill (Week 1)

Pantry Items ($58.62)

Flour (2.5kg) - $5.69 White Sugar (5lbs) - $1.67 Brown Sugar (2kg) - $2.59 Olive Oil (1L) - $3.88 Cocoa Powder (2 cups) - $2.56 Baking Soft drink (1 little box) -$ 0.50 Baking Powder (approx. 4 tbsp) - $.50 Vegan Margarine - $2.47 Cinnamon (1/4 cup) - $0.30 Other Bulk Seasonings in little quantity - $1.00 Oats (2kg) - $3.20 Barley (900g) - $1.29 Rice (1kg) - $2.22 Cheerios (525g) - $3.97 Mayo (890ml) - $1.99 Mustard - $0.88 Apple Cider Vinegar - $1.69 Vanilla Extract - $4.99 Lentils (900ml) - $1.79 Soy Sauce - $1.99 Wowbutter - $5.99 Pasta Whole Wheat (4 boxes) - $4.97 Raisins - $2.49

Grocery Things ($ 96.01)

Bread (3 loaves) - $5.99 1 Lemon - $0.60 Strawberries (2lbs) - $3.89 Spinach (1lb) - $2.99 Eggs (30) - $5.99 Mixed Fruit Applesauce (36) - $8.99 Brick Cheddar (heritage) (800g) - $6.44 Pork Loin (3.34 pounds) - $21.03 Carrots (5lbs) - $3.47 Bananas (9) - $1.68 Celery (2 hearts) - $2.88 Peas (500g) - $2.49 Apples (8lbs/32) - $2.88 Zucchini (2) - $0.77 Garlic (1) - $0.84 Green Onions (bunch) - $0.69 Red Onion - $1 Pears (3; legacy) - $1.65 Potatoes (2.5 pounds, heritage) - $0.74 Soy Milk (12x980ml) - $14.98 Strained Tomatoes (2x28oz) - $2.50 Motts Mixed Drink (4x945ml) - $3.52

Total: $154.63 (over by $39.13)

Where I bought

Mostly, I patronized Costco and Food Fundamentals. I likewise 'acquired' a few of my continuing to be perishables (as well as things I currently had in extreme amount, like olive oil) from prior to the challenge began at going rates so they wouldn't be wasted.

What I made

I butchered the pork loin I purchased Thursday evening, after the buying trip (as well as you could read about how to do it on FoodRetro) so I can make the slow-cooker pork stew the following day. It's a little bit messy, however very easy and also not that time consuming.

I spent a couple hrs on the weekend and also prepped ahead in the cupboard for the month by making a solitary container of Strawberry Jam (dish coming) ($ 1.51) as well as concerning 12-14 half-cup servings of instantaneous oatmeal ($ 2.37) for my hubby, on Saturday. On Sunday, as I made lunch, I likewise made a dozen delicious chocolate zucchini muffins ($ 2.02/ doz.) as well as a dozen unleavened 10' flour tortillas ($ 1.94/ doz). I must note I might have made the tortillas for about fifty percent that if I had spent an added couple bucks for the 10kg sack of flour (something I remorse).

Breakfasts were fairly basic: typically salute with or without Wowbutter for me, oatmeal for my spouse, as well as grain for my child. On Sunday, to abide by custom, I worked up a double-batch of 1/4 cup-size pancakes (regarding 11 1/4 mug batter pancakes from square one for $1.67), offered with margarine and also jam, and he ate them with the week as well.

Lunch alternatives were poor this week, including mostly leftovers, egg salad sandwiches ($ 0.69/ ea), Wowbutter as well as strawberry jam sandwiches ($ 0.65/ ea), smoked cheese ($ 0.35/ ea), plus fruits and also veggies such as we had them. There was also a vegan lentil as well as barley stew (dish NOT coming) which was neither great nor actual satisfying.

For dinner, we had slow-cooker pork as well as lentil stew (dish coming) ($ 3.68/ 6 portions) which was excellent, broiled pork chops served with rice, spinach as well as strawberries, fried rice with eggs as well as pork ($ 2.37/ 6 servings), and also a slow-cooked pork roast on top of potatoes and a spinach salad (concerning $7 for the roast, however there was lots of leftovers). Tonight, after hitting the food store, kidlet had actually clambered eggs and spinach, I spruced up a variation of pastas and olive oil with some frozen peas and also a newly-bought cubed, pan-roasted tomato.

We're fed up with pork. Sick of it. I can't even.

What's gone and where we stand

As I compose this at end of day, Thursday, I have about a third a loaf of bread left out of three. The spinach is gone. So are the potatoes, strawberries, and pears. I used up almost all my cinnamon making the oatmeal. The bananas were gone by Tuesday, and there's only 6 eggs excluded of thirty. I've consumed a quarter of my oil, among my 2 zucchini, concerning a third of my Wowbutter, one of my Motts Cocktails, fifty percent of my carrots, and also concerning fifty percent of my rice. While numerous points are out as well as running reduced, I've still got some food to see us via the next week, which is great, due to the fact that I'm short $39.13 for next week. I have actually barely made use of a few of the items, like the barley and also pasta.

When I try to approximate where we represent household spending plan on a daily basis, we're mainly running between $8 and $9.75. While this appears like we're doing incredibly well, I have to keep in mind the fact that it took us essentially the whole week of consuming in this price array making up for the deficit spending I produced. But given that I still have many things left over and most pantry goods, I'm meticulously optimistic that we'll have the ability to introduce some of things my family members misses out on most. I intend to bake insane cake for my son this weekend, if absolutely nothing else. Even with the more costly flour, I can produce a lots cupcakes for $1.41, or about $.12 each.

Morale and other things

Aside from being ill to death of pork, as I stated previously, spirits has actually been sort of reduced. I've been attempting to not obsessively compute whatever till I have a better suggestion of just how much we consume and how cheaply we can do it. Spouse and I are dealing with our choices, also if they are unexciting as well as the variety is inadequate. My kid, nevertheless, is not dealing also with the changes. For the first 3 days, he was singing as well as dissatisfied about the lack of specific items in our diet that we were prevented from acquiring as a result of rate, like Oreos, his common lunchmeat, as well as maple syrup for his pancakes. Every meal for 3 days, he was dissatisfied about something that he couldn't have that he was used to consuming, we battled a whole lot, and also this brought a whole lot of stress to hubs as well as I.

I'm not proud regarding this, however on Sunday, after even more than two complete days of problems and also attitude from my boy about his dish options, I cried. We described that there was just 'say goodbye to loan now' to him. Unsurprisingly, he didn't obtain it, 6 year-olds are not popular for having an excellent economic acumen at the best of times. As I'm sure I'm not the first mom that has actually been placed in between this rock and also hard location, I really feel for the parents that have needed to clarify the realities of low-budget living to their child.

We've been adhering relatively well to the Canada Food Overview (with the exemption of dairy, which occasionally we neglect because milk is not a component of our regular diet plan). We need to ready concerning sticking, though, since with the minimums I noted in the rules, often I'm still hardly skating by with around 1200 calories (by the estimate of Myfitnesspal). Fruits and veggies are not super-high, calorically, and also I think this is the catch that a lot of low-income individuals fall under: healthy and balanced, or plenty?

Kidlet is fine, hubs says he's fine, but I find I'm a little starving some days, and I need to graze a lot more frequently. We still have freedom in the daily spending plan - although kidlet is eating like an equine - so I don't really feel guilty about having another item of toast or an extra item of fruit. Still, understanding that we're minimal is enough to maintain me conscious of making it via the month.

It's oppressive, bothering with food at all times, as well as I've lost a pound.

Regrets

I regret my decision to buy an entire pork loin without having somebody to split the expense as well as butchering of it. It was an excellent rate, yet it implied that our only protein alternatives for the week were lentils, Wowbutter, eggs and pork, and we are all sick to fatality of pork as well as lentils now. The excellent (and poor) information is that I still have quite a little bit of pork to spread out for the remainder of the month.

Other deep thoughts

There were a great deal of individuals that commented how very easy this difficulty would be simply by bulk buying. Bulk-buying is a double-edged sword. I actually found that in most cases, Costco was actually much more pricey than the grocery store, even prior to items went on sale. There are still a few truly good purchases to be made there regularly, particularly my son's soy milk, bread, and also eggs. The other issue with buying something wholesale is, even if it's a great price, it takes a big piece out of the budget plan, which can interfere with one's capability to obtain range. I normally most likely to Costco with a friend, and also we often divided bundles. I would certainly suggest that any person on a restricted budget plan split mass products with an additional buyer, at the very least while aiming to build up a kitchen, unless the products are a fairly valued staple like eggs or bread.

As far as other bulk alternatives go, while this is absolutely viable for lots of, we were restricted greatly due to my son's allergies (he's adverse dairy products, nuts, and also peanuts). The majority of things wholesale bins have some danger of cross-contamination with several of these items.

So, cheers! We've survived week one. I'm hoping this week was the hardest component, as well as it gets easier from below.
