What Real Food Bloggers Really Eat: Katie of Kitchen Stewardship

Today’s food journal comes from Katie who writes Kitchen Stewardship, where you will find tons of information about real foods. In her own words…

This journal was from a stage in my diet when I chose to give up processed corn and soybean products, all white sugars, and unsoaked grains, with the compromise of dark chocolate.  In that light, this food journal is a bit (much?) more “ideal” as far as nutrition than my life the rest of the year!  You’ll also notice perhaps more meatless meals than I would usually eat, as I was specifically going meatless twice a week; I generally aim for a meatless meal once a week but am not stringent about it.

Monday

Breakfast: Soaked oatmeal (with a little spelt flakes for phytase) with 1 spoonful of virgin coconut oil, cinnamon, raisins and raw milk

Lunch: beef barley soup with homemade stock, grassfed beef, soaked barley; sourdough focaccia, and a small glass of raw milk

Snack: half piece of homemade sourdough toast with homemade raw butter (frozen from last May for Vitamin D) and raw honey

Dinner: Sourdough pizza with store mozzarella cheese and pepperoni but homemade pizza sauce. Romaine lettuce salad (not even organic) with crispy sunflower seeds, organic carrot sticks, conventional brocoflower, with homemade garlic ranch dressings and pineapple slices.

  1. Sounds like a wonderful food plan! I am actually doing a 4 week primal experiment… I may have to share my own when finished 🙂

  2. I want to try water Kefir but don’t really like sweet drinks (I pretty much only drink black coffee and water). How sweet is it?

  3. That’s funny because when I read your breakfast Thursday morning I thought “soaked oatmeal and green smoothies” was one thing- a green smoothie with oatmeal in it- now that got me wondering! 😀
