Fried Egg and Kale Salad

Every once and awhile I'll open the fridge and realize that I forgot to put some meat out to thaw. It's late, I'm starving and I definitely don't want to go pick up food. This is when eggs seem to save the day. I made a massive salad using the kale from the market order, ,bacon pieces, walnuts, olive oil and the juice from 1/2 an orange. Served it with a side of fried egg and SHABAM!

I was unusually hungry tonight so I ended up eating a small sweet potato, too. :( But the main course was simple and quick and satisfying.  Perhaps I'll have another fried egg to get some more protein in there. Sometimes you just have to improvise.

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 egg whites, olive oil. Lunch: cauliflower, ground bison paleo sloppy joe (I finally made it and it was delicious. I'm going to make more with some ground turkey that I have!). Snack: 1 grapefruit, 2 oz deli turkey slices. Dinner: lemon grass chicken and veggie soup, coconut curry chicken. I kept the fortune from the fortune cookie, but didn't eat the cookie. I hope the fortune still works:-) I'm staying with the path I picked. Pretty close to zone, but low carbs. Over the weekend, though, I did a lot of snacking on almonds and macadamia nuts. I think it was partly because my menu had gotten so boring. The sloppy joes helped liven things up. I made tons of vegetables this weekend, so I'm covered for most of the week.

I had some turkey slices and and apple for breakfast and coffee with coconut milk. For lunch I had 1/4 rotissire chicken (plus a bit extra from another's plate since I was still hungry when I finished mine :-) with a small side salad topped with salsa and lemon juice and collard greens (but there were onions in the greens so I had to stop eating them, I hate onions, more than anything else in the world. It's a passionately held belief). For dinner I made a steak salad with mushrooms, tomato, cucumber, strawberries and avocado. I am now sad that I didn't add some Kale to it too because that picture of your salad looks yummy Jamie!

I had the small success of finally not being hungry today after eating my meals! Yay! So I think I'm finally getting the correct amount of protein or the sugar is working it's way out of my system or both... but whatever is happening I am very happy to not be starving all the time (now it's only SOME of the time!)

I'll hop on the bandwagon...yeah for Kale!! Love frying it up in my leftover bacon grease, but then again thats everything:)

Breakfast-couple eggs scrambled with baby fennel, avocado and ground beef with 3pcs beef bacon.

Lunch-on the road at Bay Cities, got Pot Roast and pork meatballs with marinara sauce, everything there is A-mazing! (half of a pemmican bar with me as well:)

ground bison sloppy joes sound GOOD! caroline, can you share the recipe?

I'd like to second the request for the sloppy joes recipe and also add a request from Jamie for the recipe for coconut milk parfait. Both sound fantastic!

Jamie said...

Hey Julie,

For the parfait all I do is pour coconut milk on top of some blueberries and nuts... literally. I buy the full fat 365 brand coconut milk in a can from Whole Foods. Make sure it's in a can.(Just ask and they will direct you right to it) I open the can and put it into another container (like a protein shake mixer kind of cup), shake it up so it's not lumpy and then put it in the fridge. It thickens a little which makes it more like yogurt.

Make sure you transfer it to another container before you put it in the fridge. Once it thickens, it's hard to mix it up.

Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
