Day 5 - Turkey sukiaki

Today was hard, as far as craving go. Adonis just opened up somewhat near us so I went there for groceries and there was so much beautiful food and new things I wanted to taste. They even had lost of taste-testing, but I had to decline it all. Luckily, their produce and meat is beautiful and there were many ingredients that I could have, ingredients I wouldn't necessarily find elsewhere. I bought 2 big bags of quinoa for dirt cheap and realized I can have tahini (100% sesame seeds). There was even algave sugar for if I ever get to eat some form of sugar again. I also made the kids chocolate chip cookies, which was not helpful.

Otherwise today was good, I felt clear-minded still and had no stomach issues. I've had a really itchy forehead the past few days, no idea if it's related, actually my entire face is a little itchy. I have to try not to touch it so much or I'll break out.

I tried making coconut bread today, it was a disaster, so disgusting! It had coconut oil in it, which I have now decided I definitely hate. The rest will be used to moisturize by body. It was so dry, I could feel it stuck in my throat an hour later, it was like eating cooked flour with coconut oil in it.

I also made my own chicken stock today. So I can finally make soup this week. This diet is so time consuming!

Tonight, I made Turkey sukiaki with coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. I don't love the coconut aminos, but it was passable. The kids really enjoyed it, especially after they had added some soy sauce to it, T had a little plum sauce on it. I forgot to take a picture again.

Here's what I ate today:
Breakfast: Millet puff cereal and rice milk (another bad breakfast), soothing tea
Lunch: Leftover thai curry chicken and brown rice
Snack: Almonds and a piece of coconut bread :(
Supper: Turkey sukiaki

Turkey Sukiaki (adapted for the candida diet)
2 cups cooked brown rice
3/4 cup homemade chicken stock
1/4 cup coconut aminos
2 cups (about) leftover cut up turkey or chicken
Juice of one lemon
Salt & pepper
2 stalks of celery, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1/3 cup green pepper, chopped (I used red)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2-3 cups bean sprouts
2 green onions, chopped
2-3 cups iceberg lettuce or spinach (it sounds weird, but the iceberg really is good in it)

Mix together the stock and amino, set aside. Mix together the turkey, lemon juice, salt and pepper, set aside. Stir-fry celery, onion, pepper and garlic a few minutes. Add sprouts and green onions, sauté a few more minutes. Add turkey and stock mixture. When mixture boils add rice and lettuce. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
