Yesterday's menu:
Breakfast: coffee with 1 Tbs. sugar, and some almond milk; gluten-free oatmeal with 1 Tbs. sugar, and cinnamon
Lunch:
Creamy Artichoke Spinach Dip, baked tortilla chips
Dinner: Veggie Queen's Autumn Night Soup, cornbread, chardonnay
Well, my lunch was a little high in fat. I have a problem with fat. I may eat too much of it. Or, I may not. Just because my mother beats me up for eating cashews doesn't mean that I have to also. I don't understand how she can fail to understand that some people find this harder than others. She is uncompromising, which can be a good thing when it comes to healthy eating, but it can be a bad thing as well.
I was just so excited to finally find a spinach-artichoke dip that I really liked. I don't generally look to replace foods I liked on the SAD. But it just seemed like spinach-artichoke dip should be adaptable. And with a couple of modifications, I had everything on hand so I could just make it. And it was so good!
But after being chastised for eating a little cashew cream, I really almost bought some chips. I didn't. But my resolve was weakened. I don't even know what the thought process is here. I just know that I came close to buying chips.
Instead I cooked myself a wonderful dinner. That soup is soooooo good! And, the cornbread went well with it. I think I need to double the cornbread recipe though. I ate the whole thing again. But it was a good dinner. Although, according to my mother, the almond milk in the cornbread is a problem. I suspect the cornmeal balances out the fat in the almond milk though.
I have a gastroenterologist appointment today. We'll see how that goes. I'm considering getting a new doctor. I don't like this one much. She threatened me with taking out my colon every time I declined Remicade or failed to go to her nutritionist. She said my ulcers would not heal without Remicade, and Dr. McDougall very bluntly said she was lying to me. I don't think I can tolerate that in a doctor. Wow, now that I've written it out I think I really do need a new doctor.
