Coocoo For Coconut

Guess what popped into the Open Sky store today!! I’ve got a new product trickling in everyday this week. Fun times. This one’s a bit pricey. But so is a bottle of wine

:mrgreen: this !

image IMG_4620 (640x427)

Back to the coconut butter in a minute…

I’m having that time of the month when I have insatiable hunger!!

At first I thought I was just dehydrated from yoga and chugged some hot tea and a bottle of water…

A new tea to test by The Tea Spot!

IMG_4998 (427x640)

Yerba Mate Limon Chai. Liked it a lot! Slightly lemon, but not sour, and a nice body. (I hate weak teas!)

IMG_5003 (640x427)

I used this awesome collapsible tea steeper a.k.a. the "Tuffy Steeper" to brew. It was awesome!! Trying to get this available for you guys in Open Sky as well 🙂

IMG_4997 (427x640)

IMG_4996 (640x427)

I normally don’t sweeten my coffees or teas, but sometimes when I have a cup in the afternoon I do. My sweetener of choice is Stevia In The Raw, which I was sent as a sample. It seems to me to be the least risky of all sweeteners. I don’t use it often, but I don’t mind using it when I do. It has a similar consistency to Splenda, meaning it blends well, and the flavor is much, much better than other stevia products I’ve tried.

[Magic spoon!!]

IMG_4995 (640x427)

OK, so back to my hunger. After hydrating, I questioned whether I had eaten enough at lunch. I had felt full, but I counted up the calories to see – about 500, I estimated, so that shouldn’t be the problem.

That leaves only one thing: HORMONES!!! I know when my body is acting out of character hormones are to blame. Ever since writing Embrace The Cycle I’ve been trying to pay really close attention to my body throughout the month and THINK I am just in that sweet spot where progesterone peaks = HUNGRY!!

I found myself reading this article on energy intake and hormones and researching progesterone. That hormone is bad news!

So after all that research, plus writing a quality improvement plan for my internship, I was ready for a snack!

IMG_5004 (640x427)

+ Mix My Granola

=

IMG_5007 (640x427) 

There was about half a cup or less yogurt and I added a heaping 1/4 a cup or so of SP and then about a quarter cup of granola. YUM!

IMG_5005 (640x427) IMG_5008 (427x640)

Dinnertime [two hours later and still feeling hungry in the back of my stomach] we brought out the coconut butter. Plus some coconut OIL (the butter is blended coconut meat and the oil is pressed from the meat) I got as a sample a while ago from Artisana.

IMG_5020 (640x427) IMG_5018 (640x427)

Guess who loves the coco butter?! He said "I’ve never had coconut like this!" Eating it with a spoon!

IMG_5021 (427x640)

And slathered them on an acorn squash!

IMG_5015 (640x427) 

30 minutes and one flip later…

IMG_5028 (640x427)

FOLKS: Squash season is OVER! This was two in a row that just tasted off. Actually, it tasted EGGY!?

We continued the coco flavor profile into some….salmon!

[Speaking of Coco, I miss Conan so much already!!!]

Wild salmon courtesy of U.S. Wellness Meats 🙂 They came frozen a while back and they were just as delicious as I anticipated.

IMG_5022 (640x427)

We topped them with some ground flax and the coconut butter and baked at 400* for 10 minutes

IMG_5026 (640x427)

Finally we cooked some collard greens on the stove-top tossed with a chopped orange

IMG_5025 (640x427)

Ta-Da

IMG_5029 (640x427)

Loved the slightly sweet coconut crust

IMG_5032 (640x427)

Wish the squash had been better, but the coconut flavor really did come through!

IMG_5034 (640x427)

The collards were a bit bland, even with salt and red pepper flakes, so we ended up adding some…

Tribal Moose! Still obsessed with this smoky sweet sauce 🙂

IMG_5047 (427x640)

IMG_5045 (640x427)

About to hop in bed to read with my monkey Kanzi!

Takes me right back to 2004ish when I had a crush on Mo’kay Monkey at the SAE house!

Mokay

Nite 🙂

    I’m so glad I read your, Embrace the Cycle. I have CRAZY hunger around the same time, and your article made me realize that my body actually does need more food and it’s OK to give it. Our bodies are so awesome, if we just listen to them. On that note, I’m off…to EAT!

    When I read your Embrace the Cycle post, I felt like you were writing about me. I just insatiably hungry for about a week each month and it always throws me off. I’ve definitely come to embrace it –especially when “hunger cures” comes in the form of SP yogurt! I need to try that!

    Reply
  7. Angie says

    February 2, 2010 at 8:25 pm

    It’s absolutely incredible what a difference a week can do to a woman’s hunger; at first it would drive me mental thinking I was doing something wrong, and then I realized I could key it EXACTLY to my cycle. Now I just know that, just like your squiggly line says, it will all balance out in the end 🙂

    Coconut oil is my new love. I’d been reading about the health benefits and wanted to incorporate some more good fat into my diet, and this is by far the best tasting yet!

    Question: how do you cut your acorn squash up? i find it difficult enough to cut in half, let alone into slices! do you soften it in the microwave first or something??

      I did get them as I sample (thought that was clear in the post, no?). I would definitely consider buying some of the organic + grass-fed meats from US Wellness but since I have wild salmon readily available in my grocery stores (EarthFare) then I probably wouldn’t order it online.

    This is exactly why I try to eat intuitively, rather than worry about numbers or calorie counts. Some days/weeks, our bodies just crave more FUEL – be it due to our cycles or our workouts or some other factor. No strict dieting plan can account for those things the way that LISTENING TO OUR BODIES can. And then it all comes back to your notion of the “squiggly line effect.” While our bodies might crave more food during a certain week of the month, if we truly listen to them, they usually balance it all out for us later in the month. Voila!

    Yum coconut oil! I read it’s actually really good for you and on days when you are super hungry, can help satisfy your appetite.
    Sometimes you crave more food because you need the extra fuel, so go ahead and nourish yourself with whole, satisfying foods.
    Sometimes you feel hungry based on emotional reasons, so listening to yourself and knowing when you have emotional hunger or actual physical hunger is key.

    Hey Kath! Loved that cycle article, but I have to ask…you aren’t on the pill? Because if you are, your hormones should be pretty well-moderated and consistent throughout the month–the pill hormones trump your body’s hormones. Unless perhaps you are on a tricylic pill, where the hormones vary through the month? Just some thoughts!

    #1-Okay. So more recently I have also noticed this crazed hunger. I’m not sure why I haven’t as much in the past…not sure if I really varied this much before. Nothing has changed, medication wise but my last 2 cycles have been nuttzo! I mean…I am always hungry, every 2hrs [even with a 400+ calorie bowl of oats in the AM] but right now I seem to be in my not as hungry week, where I’m eating slightly less. Then, it seems that it’s “the week of” where I’m ravenous! So.AHnnoying. I still eat my normal routine of food and keep cookies + icecream out of the house, almost all of the time. So, I’m never just eating a million empty calories either. I wonder what brought on my recent change…maybe I’ve always been like this but haven’t noticed? Either way, totally weird, and I can totally relate. #2 i LOVE that you compared the coconut butter with a nice bottle of wine. I think people get SO scared to put money into food but will definitely not think twice about good beer or a $20+ bottle of wine. And the coconut butter will last waaay more than 1 night! Way to put it into perpsective!!! 🙂 I wish we lived closer….sigh…night!

    Hey Kath! Quick question…when you cook greens on the stove top do you put some liquid in the pot? What do you use? I’ve also noticed that sometimes you will steam veggies with fun add-ins like maple syrup, but it doesn’t ever look like you use a steamer basket, which is the only way I’ve ever known to steam veggies on the stove, so I’m just wondering what your cooking method is when you do that.

      I usually wash the greens right before and even though I spin dry, they are still quite moist. Sometimes I do add a tbsp or two of water to a pot on medium high but mostly I just put the greens in and the lid on and stir throughout the duration of 5-7 minutes. When they turn bright green they are done. Then we add on our drizzling sauces before removing from the pan.

    I LOVE Artisana coconut butter!! I used to eat it by the spoonful when I first got a huge jar. It was so pricey though. It’s hard until I microwave it though so that’s good for not digging in with a spoon whenever I walk pass the pantry 🙂

    Kath, love the “Embrace the Cycle” article you wrote for Breathe Magazine. I saved it to my favorites, as well as the Breath Magazine website!

    I think even if it isnt an extra hungry time of the month, its OK to have a snack! I’m hungry everyday for one…..

    I made salmon for dinner last night too. It was good, but didn’t look nearly as good as yours! I still have to try collard greens sometime soon. I like the idea of pairing it with an orange.

    Disappointed to hear about the squash- just bought my first acorn squash at the grocery store last night to try it out. We’ll see if it’s any good!

    I’ve just gone back to using regular ol’ sugar when I need some sweetness from time to time. It’s totally worth the miniscule 15 calories per teaspoon for the piece of mind of knowing I’m not eating anything artificial, you know?

    I have got to try that salmon with the coconut and flax. Very creative! Loads of protein and healthy satisfying omegas!

    Wow – I would love that salmon! It looks great.

    I bought some coconut oil the other day from the health food store but have no clue how to use it! I thought it would be more like an oil, but it’s hard in the container. I thought it was just because they kept it in the fridge, so I put it in the cupboard and it’s still hard. Do I heat it up? It’s very confusing, sometimes, trying new products! LOL!

      Yes, mine was hard too and I heated it up to get it back to an oil.
