🍳 EGGY AVOCADO BREAD | 🧆 GREEK MEATBALLS & ASPARAGUS

DAILY MEAL HIGHLIGHTS
🌞 Good morning 🌞 gentle friends!
Let’s get this day started…

🎯 DAILY CALORIE TARGET – 1500
🧮 ACTUAL CALORIES CONSUMED – 1502
** I generally eat 2 meals a day – brunch/dinner – so my calories per meal will be larger **

———————

🍳 EGGY AVOCADO BREAD
▪️ Dark Rye Bread
▪️ Cashew Scallion Cheese Spread 🆕👎🏼
▪️ Avocado
▪️ Roma Tomato
▪️ Duck Eggs (local farm / yolk only)*
▪️ Tajin Hot Sauce 🆕👍🏻

🆕 – I am not a fan of the texture of the cashew cheese spread. The flavor was okay but it is a bit gritty. I thought combining it with other foods might make it better, but I think I will take it down to Sandy and see if she likes it.

I never knew Tajin made a hot sauce and this I quite liked. It tastes like Valentina Hot Sauce (which is my favorite) with a little lime. Very nice!

🍃🍃🍃🦊🍃🍃🍃

** I eat yolks only due to a histamine reaction to egg whites – but I generally cook them whole, then remove the whites **

🔘 Eggs beautifully poached in
ExcelSteel 2 Egg Poaching Pot
Bring water to simmer (not rolling boil)
Spray egg cups with cooking spray or oil
Crack 1 egg per cup – duck eggs / jumbos just fit
Cook over MED heat for 4min
Remove immediately (pan, cups and lid will be hot 🔥)

Or try these other methods:

🥚 PERFECT SOFT BOILED EGGS
In small saucepan, bring enough water to completely cover the eggs to a rolling boil. Reduce temperature to med and when the water is at a low simmer, gently add eggs. Avoid dropping them in the pot as they may crack.

Cook chicken eggs for 6 min (or duck eggs for 7 min) uncovered. I like to stir them every few minutes to prevent the yolk cooking more on one side.

If you prefer hard boiled (but not chalky super done yolks), increase time to 9min for chicken eggs and 11min for duck eggs.

Once cooked, drain out the boiling water and fill the pot with cold water. I personally don’t do an ice bath because I don’t want my eggs cold to eat.

Crack the eggs gently all the way around and put in the pot of cold water to allow water to get under the membrane. Leave eggs for 3-5 min, peel gently under running water and enjoy.

🥚 EGGY TOAST & SAUSAGE
I was recommended to try a new (to me) egg poaching pan instead of doing soft boiled eggs. My friend Kim swears it would be perfect – runny yolks, whites completely done (which makes them easy for me to separate since I can’t eat the whites for histamine reasons)

I have tried lots of poaching techniques over the years, both microwave and stovetop and just never got a result I preferred over soft boiling.

Well she was right 😂 PERFECT first time (see daily video)

It was okay – but I tried to get slick cooking the Asparagus, Zucchini, Corn and pasta in the Instant Pot – it was too long for the asparagus and zucchini so they were mushy, the corn was great and the pasta cooked well but I like a more al denté noodle so less time next time…. And just steam the veg like I usually do…

I do think pasta in the IP would do well for me with a little less time and my Chef IQ gave me a great idea… Using the steamer basket sitting on the bottom prevents a burn notice and is self straining (see daily video) – very cool!

This just feels like a soup day – I have tons of fresh Kale and Gold Potatoes so Zuppa Toscana it is!

There are so many adaptations you can do with this to get it as “skinnified” as you want:

MEAT: Use turkey sausage or turkey crumbles if you want – or use 99% lean ground turkey or chicken breast for the lowest calories but be sure to extra season as it doesn’t have a lot of flavor on its own.

DAIRY: I’ve seen heavy cream, half n half, evaporated milk, 2% milk and unsweetened almond milk used in various recipes

POTATO: If you want to replace the potatoes, I’ve seen cauliflower, turnip, radish and parsnip swaps

▪️ Garlic Powder / Onion Powder / Italian Seasoning

▪️ Yukon Gold Potato
▪️ Spring Onion
▪️ Green Enchilada Sauce (@sietefoods)
▪️ 2% Cottage Cheese (@goodculture)
▪️ Avocado
▪️ Homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning

🥯 HOMEMADE EVERYTHING BAGEL SEASONING
You can adjust as you like to suit your tastes. If you want a sodium free version, leave out the salt. I buy the ingredients from my international market or bulk bins and can make 2 huge containers for far less than one bottle of Trader Joe’s or similar.

▪️ Black Sesame Seeds
▪️ White Sesame Seeds
▪️ Poppyseed
▪️ Minced Dried Garlic
▪️ Minced Dried Onion
▪️ Kosher, Pink Himalayan or Coarse Sea Salt

Original quantities can be found here:
https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/everything-bagel-seasoning

I often will add things like Caraway or Cumin Seeds or if I am down to a little seasoning in the bottom of a bottle – I’ll add that in. My current favorite combination is to add a container of Kroger’s new Private Selection 5 Salt / 5 Pepper Seasoning – I used to use McCormick’s Roasted Garlic and Herb but they changed the formula and it now contains “Natural Flavors” so I don’t use it any more.

🦪 DRUNKEN CLAMS 🚫 FAIL 🚫 & RAINBOW SLAW
Adapted (very poorly) from:
http://onceuponmycastle.com/2018/07/02/instant-pot-drunken-clams

Not a fault of the recipe but of me completely… I have had the clams in the freezer for ages, I thawed them too quickly/impatiently, I didn’t cook off the wine first and I adjusted the recipe lazily…

I ate the clams, which looked beautiful, but the broth was not nice at all. I adjusted my tracking as I ate the veggies and clams out of it but didn’t eat the broth… Bleh! Again – not the recipes issue – totally on me…

▪️ Italian Seasoning
▪️ Duck Egg Yolk (local farm)
▪️ Havarti Cheese
▪️ Lettuce
▪️ Tomato
▪️ Dijon Mustard
▪️ Navel Orange

🍞 ITALIAN QUICK DOUGH DROP BISCUIT
🔹 ⅓c Self Rising Flour (lightly packed)
To make all purpose flour into self rising – add 1½tsp baking powder + ¼tsp salt per 1c flour…
🔹⅓c 0% Greek Yogurt

OPTIONAL EXTRAS*
🔹½tbsp Italian Seasoning
🔹1tbsp Nutritional Yeast
*optional – it does not effect the baking – it is not that kind of yeast – I use it because I am deficient in vitamin B12 among other things

If you add these, you will have to add a little extra yogurt, milk or water…

Season as YOU like 😁…

NO STICKY HANDS PREPARATION
Combine all ingredients in a bowl with a fork or small spatula. Lightly spray your baking sheet or lay down some parchment paper and turn your dough out onto the tray. Using the fork/spatula, shape the dough to the thickness and diameter you want. Top with an egg wash and additional seasoning if you’d like. Bake and enjoy!

♨️ Cooked in

Preheated – Middle Rack

▪️Italian Seasoning
▪️Homemade Lemon & Herb Poultry Bone Broth
▪️Homemade Chicken Bouillon
▪️Whole Wheat Egg Noodles
▪️Lemon Juice

I cooked for 3min under Pressure and Pulse Release which was perfect – but I forgot not to put the pasta in if I was going to freeze… Ooops!

▪️🚫 Orange Milk Chocolate (Ovation) 🚫

A friend stopped by to check on me and brought this chocolate. She said she checked and it specifically said “All Natural – no artificial flavors or colors” – so we shared part of it. About 10min later, my feet and hands were burning and my throat was scratchy. Classic reaction… Looked them up online…

“Natural Flavors” twice on the label… Which are anything but natural and I react to… She was so disappointed! I should have checked… Not her fault… Bless her heart 💞 she tried!
