Salmon with dill & lemon , new potatoes & green beans
and a Magnum ice cream yummy
 
Wow Marisa you really eat alot of risky food! If I ate what you did, I would be in constant pain! Good luck to ya ;).
 
I just had 1 single egg white and a small piece of a gluten free chicken apple sausage. I made homemade pizza last night with my husband for dinner. For some strange reason, I can use a store bought thin pizza crust and then I use a little tom sauce, add jarred artichokes, roasted red pepper in the jar, black olives , the chicken sausage (cooked out on the grill) and low fat, part skim mozzarella cheese. I actually have an appetite after having the worst winter. Three-four months(I list count) of nothing but rice, chic broth, flat ginger ale, plain crackers. Don't get me wrong it took two to three weeks to get back to having a appetite and the pizzza last night came after a couple of weeks of easing back in.

Either tonight or tomorrow night we are supposed to go out to dinner. After cancellng most of the winter, literally this will be the first time out in about three-four months. Know already what I am going to have. I only suggest and go to places where I know the food is safe and my friends are great.
 
Pen - I try to keep any "risky" foods to a minimum. If I do eat it then it's usually a very small portion (in case it might not agree with me). Or I'll modify it and substitute for ingredients that I know are safer on the tummy. I find I am more paranoid about eating things than risky, haha. But, it seems my Crohn's isn't as severe as some on here. Prior to diagnosis, I never experienced any particular complications after eating certain foods. Who knows, perhaps it will change one day!
 
Pastrami and Swiss on Multigrain. Fresh strawberries, orange (Cara Cara) slices, a banana, and V-8 Juice.

Mmm, well balanced meal!

I just ate homemade broccoli and cheese quiche and hash browns with orange juice!

Steamed broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, and acorn squash and a small chicken breast grill. Healthy ... ask me later about the gas lol.

Yeah, the better I eat the better I feel. Funny how it works that way :)

I should probably stay away from the deli meats, but my last checkup showed my sodium intake levels are fine.
 
Marisa - we made all kinds... California rolls, Tuna, Spicy Tuna, Salmon, BBQ Eel, Shrimp Tempura, Vegetarian rolls (Cucumber, Yam, Avocado, Red Pepper), and even some nigiri... it was a sushi party! I work in a school residence, and most of our students are going home for spring break so we figured we would make one of their favorite meals! I brought home a California, a Tuna and a Yam roll. Sooooo good!

Pen - No, I don't have anyone to cook for me... :) I don't mind doing it myself but it sure would be nice to have someone to help with the dishes! ;)

yea for the quiche! It really does serve the purpose doesn't it. I'm too lazy these days to make it anymore. Just buying these frozen ones :)

How do you do the hash browns?
 
The quiche was lovely! It was actually a crustless version and super easy. Used frozen broccoli florets too. First time I made it, and will definitely make again!

You got me on the hash browns though, Kenny. Those weren't homemade. They were the store bought kind from the freezer.

Normally I like oven roasted potatoes. I'll just buy my favorite potatoes (normally it's redskin potatoes, but I've been using Idaho since I've been peeling the skin off). I chop them in quarter-size pieces and toss them in some olive oil (just enough to coat them all). Season with salt and pepper and then toss them again with my favorite dried herb (you could always do fresh too), like oregano, basil, thyme, parsley, etc. Bake them on a sheet pan in 375 F oven for about 30 minutes until they get crispy and golden brown. Perfect for a side dish (anytime I've made these for dinner guests there's never any left over) for any meal really.

My husband and I have yet to perfect our own homemade hash browns. We can never get them crispy enough like you get them at restaurants. One time he julienned them (like matchsticks) and sauteed them in the pan. They didn't quite crisp up, but they were really tasty.

I have another recipe for crispy smashed potatoes too. Can you tell I love potatoes? ;)

I just had a big chunk of "Double Chocolate Extreme Blizzard Cake" from Dairy Queen. That will have to hold me over until the Roasted whole Chicken stuffed with lemon wedges and Marisa's oven baked potato recipe is done. I think I will add some steamed Green Beans to round out dinner dinner :)

Thanks for the potato recipe dreamintwilight, I have never cooked potatoes like that before :D

I had the most AMAZING dinner last night that I forgot to post about! We went to this bar known for it's unique beer selection and it had the BEST food I've ever had. Period. I may have found the place to cater my last meal before I die. :ylol2:

We had fresh soft pretzels to start out with: one traditional Bavarian and one Asiago sourdough pretzel. The second one was my favorite! Both we served piping hot with some sort of mustard that was sweet, but not like honey mustard.

I ordered a turkey pastrami sandwich with swiss cheese, bacon, and chipotle mayo (on a pretzel bun!) and he ordered a grass-fed, all-natural burger with swiss, bacon, and BBQ sauce. Both sandwiches came with the best crinkle-cut fries I've ever had and cole slaw. My husband and I are not cole slaw eaters and we both ate our coleslaw. It tasted like marshmallows! Haha.

We will definitely be going back to this place. Go check it out! It has the cutest decor inside too. http://firkinoflibertyville.com/
 
Yummmmmy! Their sammiches sound so good, and I love that they have such a selection of cheeses! If I'm ever in the area I'll will check it out.

I just finished a BK Veggie Burger - disappointing. No tomatoes, and not nearly enough pickles. Man, though, that DQ ice cream cake sounds SO GOOD right about now.. darn they don't have a soy version... :(
 
We had a flavour tripping party for supper tonight. A bunch of us ate miracle berries (ground up into tablets) and then tried a variety of sour foods: lemons, grapefruit, sour soother candy, etc. Tabasco sauce was mild in flavour but still burned the mouth. Sugar-free chocolate mousse was sweetened with lemon juice. And the hit of the party? Goat cheese. It tasted like panna cotta!

The foods were definitely not Kelly friendly, so I just had a taste of this and a bit of that -- except for a full 1/2 grapefruit because it was so sweet. Yum.

mmmm Marisa that food sounds delish!

Tonight I've had Jacket Potato & Butter with Tuna
Spotted Dick & Custard
 
I made a wonderful minestrone soup for lunch today. My 2 year old had 2 helpings. Soup is always an easy way to get her to eat her veggies.

I am ordering pizza tonite. I leave early in the morning for my first remi infusion and I dont feel much like cooking supper. I keep joking about it being my last meal. God I am so nervous about this.
 
Thanks Marisa. I would have to say that 75% of my thoughts on the remicade are positive ones. I keep picturing myself having lots of fun this summer. That helps the most.
 
I fixed a nice green leaf salad with tomato, bell pepper, zucchini, mini-cucumber, "sea" legs, hard-boiled egg and cubed cheese in a pesto parmesan dressing. Fresh orange slices and fresh strawberries with yogurt. A can of San Pellegrino lemonade.

I made chicken noodle soup from the leftover chicken I cooked last night. I had cooked the chicken whole in the slowcooker so I had lots of broth to work with. I added some bullion and water plus some broken spaghetti noodles, lentils, green beans and a clove a garlic. It came out pretty good! Just threw it all in the crock pot and reused it.

Secret ingredient is I stuff the chicken with some lemon wedges when I cook it, and I added a bit of lemon juice to the broth as well :D

dude your my hero. I am so shooting for the day I can eat one of those again. Cold-cut combo is my favorite! But the Meatball is a close second.
 
"Fruit salad" with canned fruit, cottage cheese, whipped cream, and Jell-O powder. Yay, dessert for supper!
 
I had chicken fajitas for dinner! First time since before being diagnosed. They were awesome and tummy seems to be happy with them. We nixed the onions though :)
 
For dinner and for leftover lunch today I had Chicken with Curry/Coconut and Asparagus, snow peas, red bell pepper, water chestnuts, green onions and shalots with sticky rice. Was delicious.
 
Ya I just tossed the chicken with curry powder then cooked in the wok with some sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and the shalots. Then added in the vegis for a few minutes, the a can of coconut milk. Sort of a hodge podge of stuff.
 
Lydia - Good luck with the remicade!

Joan- what is spotted dick?? Sounds like an STD!

I had Passover dinner tonight - the usual, minus the brisket! I had a couple macaroons - hope they sit well!
 
Pumpkin Cookies, and summer berry tea.. the last three ;(... gonna try with real pumpkin this time Mike... great cookies!
 
Steamed suet pudding????? Isn't suet what you put in a bird feeder?

That would send me to the ER for sure!!!
 
Hot tamales and chili! Mustard and dandelion greens, tomato, cucumber and basalmic dressing salad! Green Tea-flavoured ice cream!
 
My husband works at home, in his wood working shop. He had roasted chicken, stove top dressing, mixed vegies and gravy all ready when I got home. I am very lucky to have a husband that cooks.
 
Yes, you are! That sounds great!

I made coconut curry melange - it was delish, even if it stunk up the whole house!
 
I've been a naughty girl!
We've had a chippy tea! Chimps, finch and mushy bees! (as my kids call em)

Thanks for the translation! I love mushy bees! :)

I just had vegetarian paella. I found passover rice this year and fell absolutely sinful eating it!
 
I had spaghetti and meat sauce at the inlaws tonite. My 2 year old daughter stuffed her face. I love watching her eat spaghetti. lol.
 
I am being brave and making chilli. I used very mild seasoning but still, its chilli. My husband will be so happy to have this though. lol. Oh and its vegetarian chilli so it shouldnt be greasy, which should make it more tolerable.
 
Turkey salad sandwich with cucumber and green pepper on sprouted grain bread, and a side green salad. Orange slices. V-8 Juice.

You scared me :eek2: :lol: . I am or was seeing a dietician, she seems to know more than most doc's do about Crohn's. I am also seeing her to lose weight :tongue: . She isnt covered by our plan so I stopped seeing her for a bit, but will continue once I get off Prednisone.

Wow, that sounds amazing. I want that.

I'm eating a haddock fishcake with some peas & some HP sauce.
 
I made a can of mushroom soup for lunch, because I went to playgroup with my daughter this morning and I needed something quick. My body must really hate processed food because right after I finished the bowl of soup, my tummy started grumbling and bubbling. Like I could see the bubbles moving in my belly.

I have eaten both chilli and curry this week made from scratch and my tummy was fine. One bowl of processed soup and I feel weird, not sick or in pain but its definitley not sitting right. Blah.
 
OMG its still bubbling and now my stomach hurts. Not my bowels, my actual stomach. Never again.
