Friday: oven-fried fish fillets; cole slaw; broccoli
Gradually I am using up all the items in the cupboard that contain ingredients not natural to home cooking. This is part of my 2010 Pollan Project, which is to get my cooking in line with as many of the suggestions in "Food Rules" as I can. They make sense and they fit well with No-S.
Eat (real) food (not processed, packaged, preserved, manufactured edible foodlike substances.)
Not too much.
Mostly plants.

Dinner tonight: soft tacos (refried beans, onion, tomato, salsa) on tortilla; Spanish rice and corn on the side. Husband can add grated cheese to his taco.

How funny! I came here to thank you for inspiring my dinner last night (red beans, rice, sausage), and see that you've made the white bean dip/spread that you asked about on my thread.Jammin' Jan wrote:Lunch today: sandwich of white bean spread (mashed white beans, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper) on 12-grain bread and a spinach-veggie salad with Italian dressing.
You're one of the threads I cruise when I want some "dinner inspiration." Thanks!

Today I did my weekly grocery shopping and I decided to incorporate as many of Michael Pollan's "Food Rules" as possible. Switched to real butter from margarine. Bought organic chicken broth instead of the Swanson stuff. The rest was fresh meat, frozen vegetables, real cheese, whole wheat pasta, and the like.
Pollan says not to buy anything that's advertised on tv, unless you really happen to like it anyway, so I bought a can of Bush's Baked Beans, which is my favorite brand. I was originally going to add hot dogs to it ("Beanie Wienie") but couldn't find any with acceptable ingredients. So I will add ground turkey instead.
The only thing I couldn't get right was the Progresso soups, which my husband likes for his lunchbox, and the spray salad dressing, which he also takes. But he is just using a little on a good-sized spinach and raw veggie salad, so that's not too bad. Just those soups!
Didn't buy packaged bread. More than 5 ingredients, things I don't keep in my cupboard or that a third grader could pronounce. Make my own or do without? We'll see!
I think I spent a little more than usual, but it really wasn't too bad. I'm going to keep going on this project and see if I can work my way through his whole little book this year.

Saturday:
Not too hungry when dinnertime rolled around. Husband was eating leftovers, trying to clear out the fridge before the beginning of a new week and I made myself a really nice grilled cheese sandwich: 12-grain bread spread with real butter, with sliced Colby-Jack cheese inside. Peas on the plate, too.
My S-Day treat yesterday was a one inch square of dark chocolate. Very yummy. Someone gave it to me at work on Wednesday and I accepted it but asked if they would mind if I saved it for later. So I did...much later! It was definitely worth the wait.

Tuesday dinner: meatloaf (1 pound ground turkey, 1/2 cups dry bread crumbs, 1 egg, 1 Tbs. tomato paste or ketchup; mix and bake at 350 F. for about an hour), cauliflower; dinner rolls with real butter.
I measured out the contents of a little can of tomato paste as tablespoon blobs. Put them on a cookie sheet to freeze without touching each other, then into a zip bag to store. This lasts me several months.

Dinner on Wednesday: Baked Chicken breasts (sprinkle with Famous Dave's seasoning and some dried minced onion, dot with butter, cover, bake at 425 F. for about 20 minutes, uncover, continue baking for 10 minutes); peas & carrots; dinner roll with butter.
I am enjoying butter so much more than margarine. Also enjoying a little whole milk in my afternoon decaf. Foods that are grown or raised are so much better than foodlike things that are manufactured!
Bought myself a pair of 5 lb. dumbbells today. I have no trouble being faithful to Urban Rangering most days, but I really need to commit to the Shovelglove principle, even if I use dumbbells instead of a sledge.
Happy eating, everybody!

We liked it a lot, and the leftovers were good for lunch today, too.
Fish on Friday: Tuna Pot Pie (tuna, cream of mushroom soup, peas and carrots, topped with baking powder biscuts, then baked). Tater tots on the side, but don't tell anyone, please.

After last night's Tater Tots, I thought I should make something nice and healthy for tonight's dinner.
Succotash: frozen lima beans and corn, cooked in organic minimal-ingredient vegetable broth and a little real butter until tender. Uncover and reduce broth until thickened. Served over rice.
Steamed sugar snap peas fill the other half of the plate.

Little Turkey Roll-ups: prepare some Stovetop Stuffing Mix. Roll up stuffing inside slices of deli turkey. Put in a pan. Top with turkey gravy. Bake to heat. Yummy, but Michael Pollan wouldn't approve.
Serving with fresh aspargus, seasoned with butter and tarragon. Good stuff.

Friday: Spasagna, cauliflower
My kids used to love it when I made Spasagna. Cook enough spaghetti to feed your clan. Mix in lots of spaghetti sauce. Put half of it in a casserole dish. Add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Put the rest of the pasta and sauce on top. More mozzarella. Sprinkle Parmesan on top of that. Bake until the cheese is melty and a little browned.
Sometimes I use mini lasagna, tonight I used malfada. But it started with spaghetti.
And so ends a perfect vanilla No-S month. I think I've finally got my act together.

Really sounds as if you do.
Your description of spasagna came at the perfect time for me - I happen to have some spaghettie sauce I need to use up in the fridge. Also a bit of ricotta, so I'll throw that in the layers as well.

In the crockpot: country-style boneless pork rib meat, sliced onion, rosemary, thyme, garlic, black pepper, and chicken broth. To be served over brown rice, alongside of a veggie of some sort. The house smells so good right now!

I watched Bobby Flay make this on the Food Network. No nitrates, no nitrates, no high-sodium. Actually no sodium at all, since I didn't add salt to it.

Stuffed Shells:
I cooked 18 Jumbo Shells (a pasta). Mixed a carton of ricotta with a thawed box of chopped broccoli (spinach would work, too), some grated mozzarella and some Parmesan. Stuffed that into the shells. Put some marinara in the bottom of a 9 x13 inch pan. Put the shells into the pan. Cover with lots more marinara and a little more mozzarella (an Italian blend would have been nice, too. Baked at 400 F for about 20 o4 25 min.
Cauliflower filled the other half of my plate.
Very nice dish, and I figured I owed it to my husband after Thursday's Creamed Something over Whatever, which was tuna over toast, as it turned out.

Veggie Casserole
1/2 cup couscous
3/4 cup vegetable broth
10 oz box frozen mixed veggies, thawed
1 to 2 cups shredded cheese
Heat the broth to boiling. Stir in couscous. Cover, remove from heat, let stand 5 minutes. Mix in the vegetables and half the cheese. Put into a 2-quart casserole. Cover with the rest of the cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 F for about 20 min.
Doesn't get much easier than this.
Food Rules:
Eat Food. Get a veg broth (chicken broth would work fine, too) without any funny ingredients -- something all natural.
Not too much. No-S rules satisfy this.
Mostly plants. Lots of veggies in this dish, plus I filled up the other half of my plate with cauliflower.

Yum! This sounds so easy and soOOOO good! I don't have couscous, but I imagine quinoa would work just as well.

Dinner on Friday: cook linguine. Cook some little red-skinned potatoes. Drain the pasta, add the potatoes, along with pesto and Parmesan and green peas. Mmm-mmm-good!
Broccoli filled the other half of the plate.
Food Rules:
Eat Food -- everthing was from scratch, with no funny stuff.
Not too much -- one plate, no seconds
Mostly plants -- the only non-plant was the 1/2 cup Parmesan

Jan,
I made your recipe last night with quinoa (cheese, veggies). Instead of butter or veg. broth, I used nutritional yeast. It turned out great!

Two things I made for dinner:
On Saturday, it was Boulangerie Beans. I think this is posted somewhere here, but who can find it? One can red beans (or white or pink), drained and rinsed, put into a casserole. Season with salt and pepper and 1/2 tsp thyme. Peel and slice a couple of Russet potatoes, put in overlapping layers on top of the beans. Pour a cup or so of veggie (or chicken) broth on top. Season with a little more salt and pepper and another 1/2 tsp thyme. Dot with butter. Cover and bake 45 min at 350. Uncover and continue baking another 45 min. Original recipe was in Mark Bittman's book, "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian."
Last night I made Succotash (limas and corn) and added some shredded cabbage and veg broth. This was in a saucepan on the stovetop.
Extra vegetables on the side of both.
Food Rules
Eat Food: these ingredients were from fresh, frozen, and canned. Canned was drained and rinsed, so it's pretty good. Got to balance nutrition with cost and time.
Not too much: still struggle with No-S, but these meals were okay in that regard.
Mostly plants: all plants on the plates.

Lunch today was a sandwich: chickpeas, onion, celery, tomatoes, seasoning, on 12-grain bread, with mayo.
Food Rules:
Eat food: the bread and mayo have more than five ingredients and some stuff I don't keep in my cupboard.
Not too much: I had 1 and 1/2 sandwiches and a couple of small chunks of cheese
Mostly plants: eggs in the mayo, plus the cheese, so mostly plants
Overall, my Food Rules project is going pretty well.
And I haven't posted anything about Urban Ranger lately, but it's so much a given, that I just don't think much about it. Even in MN winter, I have managed to walk to work and back. I wish No-S were as easy for me as walking!!!

I really need to get back to posting here. Not only is the accountability helpful, but it helps me keep track of menus.
My current 100 Day Challenge:
Today is Day 10. I messed up twice with a snack (once the snack was a Girl Scout cookie -- why did I do that??). Otherwise it's been fine. 8 out of 10 days is 80% success, which is a passing score. Coffee with vanilla soymilk has helped a lot between meals.
Last night I made a Chile Relleno Pie for dinner:
Two small cans of whole green chilies (6 chilies, total), each chile stuffed with a piece of Monterey Jack cheese. Put in a greased baking dish. Cover with shredded Mexican-style cheese. Beat 4 eggs; pour over. Bake uncovered at 350 F until browned, about 30 min. Served with corn and Spanish rice, and some tortilla chips on the side to scoop up the homemade salsa that a friend from work gave me. Husband was very pleased (We could live on Tex-Mex foods) and I was satisfied with one plate and no temptation to snack later in the evening.

Yesterday I ended up working through lunch. I hadn't brought any food with me, so I improvised and it came out okay! No snacks!!!
Dinner on Monday evening: Honey-Mustard Baked Chicken, green beans, whole grain bread/butter
Honey-Mustard Chicken
Oven 400 F. Spray a baking pan with non-stick. Mix equal parts dijon mustard and honey. Coat chicken pieces. Roll chicken in seasoned bread crumbs (I used panko). Bake uncovered 30 min. Pour any remaining honey-mustard sauce over the chicken. Bake another 15 min.
Baking times may vary with thicker/thinner pieces of meat.

Dinner on Tuesday: baked marinated tofu, vegetables, brown rice.
Hungry later, but just had a cup of decaf with soymilk.
This is so much easier this time around. "Cheese @ Ten" is a great mod, and I now feel like this is natural for me and not forced.

Yesterday was the kind of day that has, in the past, caused me to jettison No S and just eat randomly and wantonly.
Breakfast was on time...optimized oatmeal.
Mod on time..."Cheese @ 10." I can't believe what a difference this is making.
Lunch...didn't happen until 2:30, and then there wasn't anything to eat anyway, and I didn't want to spoil my dinner which was going to be early. So I had a couple of pieces of whole grain toast, buttered, and a glass of juice.
Dinner...at 5:00, not overly hungry, but I made a nice meal for hubby and me and ate some of what was on my plate, but not a lot, and I figured I was setting myself up for hunger and snacking later on, but...
Late evening...a cup of decaf with a little soymilk did the trick.
VICTORY!!! I really feel very good about this.
Dinner: spaghetti with artichoke marinara; cauliflower; buttered foccacia

Friday: tortillas + veggies + fiesta-style shredded cheese = Veggie Quesadillas, a complete meal all by itself.
Saturday: black-eye peas; beets; roasted garlic bread, toasted; mandarin oranges. Saturday treats: 10 oz Dr Pepper at lunch, and small slice of cherry pie after dinner

Today is Day 20 on my current 100 Day Challenge. 100% on program! And it is easy! So, for the first 20 days, 2 fail days, which gives me 90% success overall.
Today is also my 59th birthday; husband and I will go out for dinner.

Wednesday dinner: Dirty Rice, veggies, mandarin orange and bananas.
Zatarain's Dirty Rice does not work with Food Rules, which I'm still following. Too many ingredients, many of which would not appear on my pantry shelf. Bought it in a moment of laziness, but will not buy again. I can make it better, from scratch.

Dinner: sardines, boiled buttered little red potatoes, green beans
After dinner, we had some errands to run, so we also stopped at Starbuck's and I limited myself to a decaf with a little vanilla soy. No cookies!
Our daughter graduates from college today, so this is a very happy S Day for me.

Cheese @ 10
Lunch: chili beans over brown rice, 2 buttered tortillas
Dinner: seasoned butter beans and feta, vegetable, dinner roll
Exercise: 30 min outside walk, got chains on my shoes and some very warm Minnesota clothes.

The staff lounge is a dangerous place, to be avoided as much as possible!!!
Here is my plan for today:
Breakfast: Raisin Bran, unsweetened almond milk
Cheese @ 10
Lunch: leftovers from dinner last night
Dinner: corn cakes & spicy beans topped with cheese; vegetable.
Exercise: 90 min outside walk, which is challenging because there is a foot of frozen snow on the ground from last weekend's storm and not a lot is plowed out yet. I think I should get extra points for walks like this.
