Home made baked beans;

soak 1 pound, 454 g dry beans in bean crock covered in water overnight.  Drain and place in large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil.  Boil for 5 minutes.  Turn down to simmer for @1/2 hour.  Take bean or two out and ensure you're happy with how soft it is (it will only soften a little after sugar is added).  Once happy with the tenderness, drain and place in slow cooker.  

 

Combine 1 cup hot  water, 2 t dry mustard, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup molasses, 1 t salt, 1/2 t pepper, 1/4 pound bacon chopped in small chunks, 1 t apple cider vinegar.  Pour over beans.  Add enough warm water to ensure everything in slow cooker is covered.  Place an onion cut into eighths on top of the ingredients.  Set on high and cook for 4 to six hours.  Can be cooked in a bean crock at 300 degrees for four to six hours.  Add water during cooking process if neccessary to keep from going dry (esp needed if using oven).  Don't stir too often or vigerously.

 

Per 100 g/125 ml, 350 cals, fat 1g, carbs 60g, protein 25g.  Provides @ 60% days recommended iron, 15% calcium.

Ian,

I make something very similar to your banana bread.  Mine calls for low fat cream cheese instead of the yogurt, but I'll try yogurt next time.  I substituted 1 cup of protein powder and 1 cup of ground almonds for the whole wheat flour and they were delicious, with much more protein!

 thanks Sandi, I will try this next time.  always looking for ways to up the protein count!  Is your powder unflavoured? are you gluten free?  I use a bunch of GF flours, almonds being one of them for my wife, she's very sensitive to gluten.

 Yes, Ian, I use unflavoured, but I'm sure vanilla would be good as well.  I am not gluten free, but wouldn't mind being so.  I just avoid simple carbs as much as possible.

Good morning Pat, and everyone! :D

We go out ALOT! I have never had any issues with finding something on the menus. My fiance waits to order until I do cuz I never eat it all. I "usually" will have a salad, soup, chicken or fish. Have fun at the pub tonight

Today, my "m-i-l" decided to make breakie- french toast. I told her I wanted one, she made me two and I ate a half of one. The bread is too thick, blah.

B- french toast
L- I see some "keilbasa and cheese" in the fridge
D- we will likely go out for dinner- depending on where we go, soup or salad maybe, and if the man orders wings, I will have 1 or 2.
snacks- not too sure for today- maybe some triscuits with herb and garlic cream cheese.... I might go to the store and get some yoguart or something

All liquids and vitamins in

Have a FABULOUS day!!! :D:D

I feel really ill today, hopefully it will pass. Got up late & skipped breakfast to make bus to school.

B - 1/3 c tomato juice
S - 100 cals almonds chewed very well - vomited
S2 - SF Dulce Du Laite pudding - vomited (:D) Tastes good both ways tho"!
Left Class & came home. Slept 1 hour
L - 1 can of No Name Clam Chowder - went down OK
D - Kashi Lean Crunch cereal w 1 c 1% milk & wheat germ on top.

"my friend" came to visit today.

I am seeing my doctor for 3 month appointment and will talk to him re the vomiting because ever since I moved to puree stage (ie off applesauce & yogurt) I haven't gone 3 days without vomiting. At best, without meat and gluten, I've managed 2 days in a row.
