This is day 3 for me and now I'm not very hungry. I know I must eat though, so I made a nice salad for breakfast this morning and sweetened up my water with sliced fresh strawberries

Spinach, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Strawberries, Blueberries, Cilantro. I sprinkled a little sea salt and then some olive oil with a dash of Braggs ACV

__________________
My dinner...I eat at 4pm daily.

Vegetarian Pinto Beans with Jasmine Whole Grain Brown Rice seasoned with homemade sofrito, diced tomatos (I cooked with rice) a little curry and sea salt.

The last time I did this fast I modified my chili recipe to be Daniel friendly.

2 (40 ounce) cans chili/kidney beans, drained - or in whatever amount the can comes in just add it up until it is 80 oz. total so you may need more cans depending on the size of the can.
2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 large yellow onion, chopped
5 stalks celery, chopped
2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
4 green chile peppers, seeded and chopped (I use poblano peppers).
2 jalapenos (options)
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoon dried basil
2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika

I'm going to check it out now! Thanks so much!

ETA: Ok, I checked it out and she has some really good recipes. I did notice though that in some recipes she allowed fructose sugar, honey, fat free milk and grated cheese. I think that would set back some who are on this fast...just my thoughts.

 

[Tyra]

Thanks so much for this! Consecrations begins next Monday for us and I am desperate. I was bad last year.
I have nothing to contribute. Hopefully I will soon.

I agree, that's why I said "some" but I should have clarified.

Thanks, sis....it was delicious. I look forward to the recipes...I'm finding that making food without meat is actually very rewarding to me.

How did it taste?

I liked it. I wasn't sure what the cinnamon would do but it is good. I usually mix apple with cinnamon but didn't have any chopped apples.

Today I had the same thing for breakfast a handful of mixed nuts for lunch

Whole Wheat Toast with Peanut Butter and Tomatoes (salt & pepper) w/ strawberries on the side.

Sis, this looks delicious, but I don't think you can have bread of any kind, even if its whole wheat. You can have whole grain crackers though.

 

[Nice & Wavy]

Whole Grain pasta with tomatoes, chopped garlic, parsley, green onions, olive oil, sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Delicious

 

[Lymegreen]

Oh Noo!! I was so proud of comin up with this one. erplexed I just ran back and looked at the bread it is Whole Grain and Nut Bread. But if I can't eat that either I will refrain for the remainder of the fast and stick to whole grain crackers - or so something marked unleavened bread.

ETA: aw I didn't know the difference between unleavened and leavened bread. I know now.

Thanks!

2 jalapenos (options)
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoon dried basil
2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika

This is pretty much the only way I eat chili ( I call it my infamous Veggie Chili lol). The only things I do differently is add zucchini, potatoes, and pinto beans. I substitute the celery for frozen corn. I don't use chili peppers or jalapenos, but use a can of Rotel tomatoes instead.

Seriously, every meat lover that I've let taste the chili has raved about it, and they don't notice the meat is not even present. It's an amazing recipe that I eat year round! Excellent choice

Yes, I made sure to find out before I began this fast. I love the Wasa Crisp Bread which is actually a cracker and goes great with peanut butter...that's my snack! It's really crunchy which I love crunch. I checked it out and this is fine on the Daniel Fast. It only has 60 cals and no sugar!

Thanks! ok I think I will look for this when I go to the grocery. I think I could use this with my bean soup.


Today I found this recipe for unleavened Pita Bread. I was thinking about just making this from scratch:

Pita Bread - Unleavened
Great for an easy hummus platter or for a bread substitute for stews and soups
# of Servings: 6 - 8" Pitas
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups Whole Grain Flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup water, warm
as needed canola oil

Whisk the flour and salt together in a bowl. Stir in the warm water using a wooden spoon. You want the dough to just pull away from the sides of the bowl. Add additional flour if the dough is too sticky and add additional water if the dough is too dry. Continue to mix the dough for three minutes. Portion the dough into six equal portions and round them with your hands into balls. Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth and allow them to sit for twelve minutes. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough balls into eight-inch circles. You may want to dust your work area with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Adjust the Evo burners on medium-high heat and lightly oil the cook surface with canola oil. Cook the pita breads on both sides until they are lightly browned. Remove the finished pita from the grill and place in a bowl covered with a towel to maintain moisture. Serve the pita immediately, as they tend to dry out quickly.
