Dear Hallee: Eating Dairy & Meat

Posted by Hallee on Jan 19, 2012 in Christian Faith, Hallee's Galley, Life, Natural Health

What are your thoughts on dairy and meat? I am so confused about it all, there is so much conflicting info out there.

As much as I wish otherwise, there isn’t a simple answer to this question.

Menu Monday 31 OCT 2011 – Daniel Fast Week 4

Posted by Hallee on Oct 31, 2011 in Daniel Fast, diet & fasting, menus & menu planning

Our church is currently observing 40 days of fasting, and Gregg and I decided that we would do a Daniel Fast. For the next few weeks, you will see a “vegan extreme” diet. We are consuming only fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and drinking only water – no sugars, honey, syrups, nor eating leavened bread. Kaylee is observing her own form of this fast and will be abstaining from the sugars and the meat – she will be consuming dairy, however. The boys will be eating our meals with us, but will have some meat and will have dairy.

For breakfast, we are making a juice in our juicer out of kale, carrots, apples, and fresh ginger root. Several good juice recipes can be found here. I’ve also been making smoothies out of mango, fresh pineapple, bananas, oatmeal, flax seed, and coconut milk. We drink one or both of them for our breakfast.

For lunches, we will be eating hummus with fresh vegetables, avocado and salsa in Ezekiell 4:9 tortillas (the only tortillas I could find with nothing in them but grains), salads, or something like unsweetened peanut butter and bananas with tortillas.

I pray that by sharing our journey with you, you will receiving a blessing from it.

Here’s the menu for my family for the week of October 24th. I have some pumpkin leftover from my Winter Squash Stuffed with Wild Rice, Dried Cherries, and Roasted Pecans (the recipe will go up this week), and the boys are begging me to make pumpkin cookies.

Menu Monday 10 OCT 11 – Daniel Fast Week 1

Posted by Hallee on Oct 10, 2011 in Christian Faith, Daniel Fast, diet & fasting, Hallee's Galley, holiness, inspiration, menus & menu planning

Here’s the menu for my family for the week of October 10th. Last Wednesday night at church, our pastor called for us to begin a 40-day fast. Gregg and I prayed about it and decided that we would do a Daniel Fast. For the next few weeks, you will see a “vegan extreme” diet. We are consuming only fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and drinking only water – no sugars, honey, syrups, nor leavened bread. Kaylee is observing her own form of this fast and will be abstaining from the sugars and the meat – she will be consuming dairy, however.

Menu Monday 04 OCT 10 – Daniel Fast Week 2

Posted by Hallee on Oct 4, 2010 in Daniel Fast, diet & fasting, Hallee's Galley, menus & menu planning

This is week 2 of my 21-Day Daniel Fast. My blog post about that can be found here, but basically, it’s vegan extreme – and I’m throwing in my own personal restriction to unleavened bread only. I had a weak day at day 4. I didn’t break the fast, but I was tempted for some reason, even dreamt of food that night. At this point, I’m in a steady go, not tempted to cheat, not wishing I hadn’t started the fast in the first place (heh).

Menu Monday 14 June 2010

Posted by Hallee on Jun 14, 2010 in Hallee's Galley, menus & menu planning

Here’s the menu for my family for the week of June 14th. This should be week 4 of the Abs Diet, but I did not follow it last week. I started volunteering cooking at a soup kitchen and worked 3 days last week coupled with the fact that we had Vacation Bible School all week at church. It was enough that I ate and that I fed my kids, to be honest.

Things like this only work when you’re consistent, and I seem to have had a week on, week off mode since deciding to do it. I haven’t weighed myself, but guessing, I’d say that any weight I may have lost in the beginning is back. So, I need to get serious about this. I’m going to pray about it, something that I have not done (strangely) and make sure that I’m doing the diet that I should be doing and the exercise that would most benefit me.
