Balancing Meal Size

[Guest guest]

Nothing was ever suggested about when to have heavier meals.

I am hungriest first thing in the morning. How about you and yours?

Don't you love the choices available for SCD breakfasts: waffles,

pancakes, blintzes, omelets, home made granola, DCCC with fruit and

yogurt. Why I have even had lamb chops for breakfast. And don't forget

bacon or homemade sausage patties, and juices, grilled cheese or

muffins and SCD breads.

Lunches usually include a salad sometimes soup along with some protein

and fruit and of course yogurt with honey.

Lately, by dinnertime I am tired and lazy and don't always us the

veggies that were planned to go with the main course. I just want to

get it over with and hear the grinding of the creaky 'ole Maytag.

So, I thought, " why not reverse the pattern? "

Make it like traditional Sunday dinner used to be, the big meal at

midday. That way one can take advantage of cooking energy. This is

working better.

Dinner tonight will be a Sonoma Chicken Salad (chunks of chicken, red

seedless grapes, pecan pieces, seasonings and SCD mayo, some cold

asparagus, a sliced half a mango and a small piece of cheese.

Oooh, this post makes me so hungry! Could you please share if you

have a good granola recipe? I know it would be advanced food- this is

for me- I'm just " nut dieting " SCD now and will go back and do proper

intro later. My son is no where near ready for granola, he is still

cooked fruits stage- but I am craving sweet and crunchy!

I have slivered almonds and thinly sliced almonds which I thought

could be good oatmeal subs. Some honey and maybe some nut butter and

coconut?

Thanks! Janet, mom to Cody- SCD since 4-17-06- 5 yrs old

I just love you Carol. You make it seem so easy in your post! I hope when we

have six years under our belt that coming up with such wonderful meal ideas is

this simple! We are getting better and faster. My son loves to eat broiled

fish for breakfast and steamed broccoli with cheese. I don't argue anymore.

There was a day when I would have thought him strange! Now I join him.

We too are hungriest for breakfast, and often eat dinner at lunch time.

Especially on the weekends when hubby is home! We often eat 6 to 8 times a day

too. I don't know if Elaine recommended this...but we are a hungry crew!

Thanks to SCD finally healing and growing and gaining back lost muscle! We eat

a lot, and now that the cravings are gone...always feel satisfied.

Thank you for your inspiration! Antoinette and (celiac, add, as), parents
