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
