Today’s real food journal is brought to us by Kara of Taste is Trump. On her blog she poses the question "what good is a healthy dish if nobody eats it?" Great point!

Kara says of her dietary restrictions:

For religious reasons I abstain from coffee, tea and alcohol.  Eat meat sparingly.  Fruits and vegetables in season and grains as the staff of life.

Monday

Breakfast: polenta made with organic raw milk and pure maple syrup, topped with strawberries, bannanas, sliced almonds, cinnamon and raw honey.

Snack: carrots and red pepper hummus.  

Dinner: tuna melt made with carrots, celery and onions, on a slice of whole wheat sourdough bread, topped with swiss cheese and a large side of sweet potato frie

Dessert: Fresh baked sprouted spelt flour chocolate chip cookie with a cup of raw milk.

Tuesday

Breakfast: soaked oatmeal with coconut oil, topped with sliced bananas, cinnamon, raw honey and whipped cream with a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice.

Lunch: taco salad made with beans, rice, tomatoes, avocado, green onions, cheese, tortilla chips and homemade cilantro ranch dressing.  An apple on the side. A square of Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate a couple hours later (couldn’t call that a "snack").

Dinner: fresh baked crusty bread dipped in pesto.  Sautéed beet greens with butternut squash gnochi and sliced mango.

About Kara:

My name is Kara Bagley, I am a mother of three young boys in Arizona who loves to cook from real ingredients.  I am originally from Eastern Iowa and grew up eating all the pork, beef and corn the area had to offer.  Without major health problems, I have changed my eating habits drastically in the past decade as my testimony for the relevance of it has grown.  Now I seek after the best food through gardening, making friends with local farmers and farmer’s markets. I teach cook cooking classes in my area to share my passion for good food.
