Cooking during my lunchtime today.

A friend since I was in 9th grade gave me some beautiful zucchini from a local garden at a college here in San Diego.

Today I cut one up along with some onion, spiced it up with.a bunch of things including my Curry-ish spice blend and letting it brown a little before I add some broth and coconut milk to it and serving it over rice.

Will go perfectly with any type of protein. One zucchini filled my entire pan. Can wait to eat dinner today.

Thank you so much Kitty!

Fishwife has some delicious tinned fish and this smoked trout in chimichurri is delicious! I added a teaspoon mayo and furikake seasoning but you can honestly eat it as is too. To round out my dinner I added some kimchi for gut health and seaweed snacks to scoop it all up.

Quick and easy is always first of mind. Especially when I’m not feeling so well at times.

One tip is to keep things at the ready whether it’s something you’ve batch cooked for the week or this quick noodle and smoked trout bowl made with FLY BY JING noodles with Fishwife smoked trout w/fly by jing.

I added some peanut butter to the sauce mix with a little hot water, squeezed a key lime on top with pinch of sea salt and pumpkin seeds

Eggs plus additional whites for more protein
Leftover Wagu beef patty
Chopped vegetables: red onion, green onion, small yellow sweet bell pepper
1/2 slice Colby jack cheese
Fresh ground black pepper

Watermelon juice with juice of one lemon

Mandarin orange

Add avocado for healthy fat. By adding avo it also helps to keep you satiated for several hours. Lately I’ve been using individual guacamole packets and will eat half of it with meal and whole packet for snack with veggies.

Quick and filling dinner with my roasted sweet potato and pan seared Branzino fish.

I scored the skin side of the fish and seasoned both sides with lemon sea salt, salt free Tony Cachere’s Creole Seasoning and fresh cracked black pepper and pan seared skin side down for 4 minutes and cooked the flesh side about 1 minute.

And since I had already batch cooked these sweet potato dinner was ready in 5 minutes.

5 Ways to remove excessive starch from sweet potatoes

• One of the simplest methods to reduce starch is to cut potatoes and soak in cold water from 30 minutes up to 2 hours. Change the water halfway through

• Cut potatoes and rinse them in cold running water while agitating with your hands to remove loose starch from the potatoes flesh

• Parboil cut potatoes 5-7 minutes then rinse them.

• Soak potatoes 30-45 minutes in salted water. 1 Tablespoon of salt per liter of water to draw out starch.

• Blanch and dry. Let them boil for couple of minutes then drop them in a boil with ice and cold water. Then dry them.

Any of these methods can be used before roasting them in preheated oven 350-375 degrees for 40-45 minutes.

Be sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper and place them flesh side down

This week when I batched cooked these I always scrub the skin and drizzle olive oil on both sides and season with sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper.

I only use 3 potatoes for the week. Just cut them in half and then cut the halves lengthwise

I wanted an even sweeter taste this week so I sprinkled some nutmeg and cinnamon on the flesh side and a capful of Madagascar vanilla extract to each one as well.

They always come out perfectly caramelized on the flesh side and this week they had an added sweetness without any added sugar.

Batch cooking for the week…Korean Cucumbers is a weekly staple and I like to use either English or Persian cucumbers because the skin is thinner and not butter like regular cukes.

Mix together:
Cucumbers sliced
Baby heirloom tomatoes sliced in half (my twist)
Gochuchang (red Korean paste that is mild in flavor)
Vinegar
Brown Sugar (my twist on the traditional recipe)
Mirin (my twist on the traditional recipe)
Red Pepper Chili Flakes (optional)
Toasted Sesame Seeds

Add your sliced cucumbers and make sure they’re all in the sauce mix. Refrigerate. It gets better each day flavor wise. So try to keep in fridge at least overnight before eating. Will last all week.

Tin fish including sardines have been trending big time lately but I’ve been eating this stuff since childhood alongside my Mom and is always a pantry staple for me.

Today’s haul comes from who I love and they also have a couple of their products now

Trader Joe’s has smoked sardines on olive oil or regular sardines in water. I only get the water version when the smoked one is sold out.

And as far as tuna goes is my go to for regular albacore tuna and Korean brand for my hot pepper tuna.

For salmon patties I like Kirkland brand of their wild caught Alaska pink salmon.

I think I may do a video series so y’all can see all of the delicious easy way I use all of these to get my high protein intake weekly.

Korean cucumbers is a weekly staple for me. So perfect to couple with my Steroid Support snacks or meals.

This week I added some baby heirloom tomatoes and I always add a lot of toasted sesame seeds. Sometimes I add green onions or pickled red onions.

You can eat them right away but it’s so much tastier when it’s been marinading in the fridge at least for one day.

Often times I am literally eating food for how it functions for my wellbeing. For my gut health I just put some garlic sauerkraut and sliced baby tomatoes in a bowl with some ground turmeric and black pepper for my gut health.

I’m doing all the things to hopefully get rid of this bug I have as soon as I can.

Being immunocompromised is no joke and I don’t take it lightly.
