Homemade Hoisin Marinade and Mongolian Beef (pork) Recipe

Marinade 1 lb of cubed beef or pork for 1-2 hrs in:
4 Tbsp rice vinegar
3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 Tbsp peanut butter (low sodium)
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp sesame oil or tahini
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)

Strain mean; set marinade aside.
Saute meat in  2-3 tsp extra virgin olive oil.
Remove meat from pan, keep warm.
Saute 5 chopped green  onions in rest of oil,
3-5 min until crispy.

Add to marinade and blend till smooth:
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp sesame oil or tahini

Add Mixture to onions and boil for 2 min,
until thick.  Add meat, heat through.


Prepare 4 servings of either 5-minute brown rice
or slow-cooking brown rice (45-50 min).

Serve.

Makes 4-5 servings (260-300 calories)

*******
I made an addition to my recipe this evening.  After removing the meat from the pan but before sauteing the onions, I sauteed chopped asparagus (1" spears) for about 5 minutes in a little of the oil.  I used only 2 tsp of oil on the meat and saved 1 tsp for the asparagus to get a nice sear before putting the sauce back in to reduce.  I also mixed the rice right into the meat and sauce mixture.  It really was delicious...I look forward to the leftovers.

I used a few recipes I found online with a few tweaks to make it healthier and made a most masterfully amazing Mongolian beef with brown rice and asparagus.  It's shocking how healthy it turned out to be.  I'll post the recipe later.  It was totally worth the hot'n'sweaty hike down Cliff hill to the market and then back up it pushing Z in the stroller the whole way.  I needed soy sauce but Terri didn't leave me the carseat so we had to walk to the closest local that carried it 2.25 miles away.  I got sunburned like whoa too.

I didn't get a workout in today because I got called in to work early again because Linda called in sick. Again.  I got an extra 4 hours in, which was nice but I used the morning to purge my closet again for our rummage sale.  I do have the next 4 days at home with Z with no work (unless I get called in, knock on wood).  I can tight the strings on the diet and do multiple workouts.  Plus playing with Z can be a workout in itself.

Jungle Babies Nursery Mural

I don't think I ever got around to posting pictures of the Jungle nursery mural I did for Ella's room.  I'm still working on Z's frog mural and I've got an aquarium themed mural for Jon and Marcy's little one.  The album that is this slide show has all the progress shots in backwards order.  One of these days I'll get the originals back on my computer and upload individual final shots to post.  For now:


Consumption

This whole food journal thing isn't the first time I keep track of what I ate over a period of time...
Back in 2007, I participated in a basic drawing class homework exercise that I initially thought was bullshit.  It was early in the semester and I was still feeling out the teacher a little bit in terms of his methods, discussion tactics, and leniency in terms of interpretation/attendance.  I remember the class was a Monday/Wednesday-nights-from-6-9pm class.  He gave us the basic task of tracking everything that we ate or drank (as I took to mean consume in general) from the end of class one Wednesday night til the following Monday's class.  Five days.  I was pretty pissy about the assignment and used my frustration to spur a strange abstraction of what I really consumed that week.  The drawings are geometric deconstructions of everything that passed my lips during that 5 days.  Upon returning to class, I found I was one of the half in the class that actually accomplished the assignment and one of the very few who took it very seriously.  Like I said, my frustration with being assigned such a juvenile task drove me to invent a way to make it more interesting to me.  I feel it turned into playful depiction of a third-year art school student's diet.  Knowing what foods I consumed then makes me cringe now a little but really that's part of the college experience.  I mean, I'm pretty sure one of these drawings represents a strawberry strudel pastry and blazing buffalo Doritos!  At any rate, I rarely get to share the book that this project spawned one of my few prized artist books.
So here it is: Consumption

A Food Journal: Day 8

I thought earlier when I posted that I wasn't going to do well today, but I stayed under 1500 calories (though admittedly a lot of what I ate wasn't the best for me).  Again, it was a holiday.  And, I've got to be able to splurge now and then.  As long as I make up for it with a vigorous workout or two, it's fine.  So here's today's tally:

Breakfast: (540)
honey oat bagel with neufchatel cheese (310)
fruit with Wilton chocolate melts, pineapple, strawberry, apple, cantaloupe (120+30+10+25+15)
coffee with cream and Truvia (30)

Lunch: (290)
2 string cheese (160)

As an aside, Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there.  Especially mine, because she's the best.  And all others who were supposed to be mothers once but aren't now...this day didn't really feel that great in that respect.  For that, I'm having a glass of wine to toast my dead child and I'm not going to count it.  So there.

A Food Journal: Day 7

It's days like yesterday that I knew I wouldn't want to do this but just to prove myself wrong I will anyways.  I went with all my family ladies and kids, ie: Mom, Jess and Ella, Marcy and Chloe, Terri and Z to the annual Avera Race Against Breast Cancer.  We did the family fun 1.5 mile walk as per usual.  I wish we could do the 3 mile walk again like we did before all the kids were born.  But Marcy is 33 weeks along in her pregnancy so with the addition of the walk from and to the cars the 1.5 mile walk was plenty.  The one big downfall of the whole morning was the consumption of our traditional post-race breakfast.  We went to Perkins like usual (it used to be Denny's until it became overrun with other race-goers).  And against my better judgment, I ordered based on what I was craving rather than what I knew would be better for me.  That's how I pretty much blew this whole day calorie-wise.  Just goes to show how much eating out can affect your whole plan...  In my defense, though I know it's not a good excuse, it was a celebration and a tradition to go out.  Plus Marcy's baby shower in the afternoon didn't help the diet...I guess it's my cheat day.  And I have a whole week now to bust ass before next week's weigh in.

Breakfast: (130)
banana (100)
coffee with cream and Truvia (30)

Lunch: (1700)
Perkins Buffalo Chicken Wrap with fries (1700)

Bad Ashley.  I tried to burn as many calories as possible during the day to balance my intake.  For example, I put Chloe up on my shoulders for the warmup before the race and for the stretch of the race where we walked past her other grandmother's house.  I actually didn't do it intentionally but Jessica noticed that Kathy was out on her driveway half a block off the race path waving so Chloe was able to see her from up on my shoulders and wave back.  She was kinda wild up there, especially watching what Ella was doing on Jessica's shoulders.  Of course Ella's a lot smaller.  Chloe, at 36 lbs, was plenty of weight lifting.  I was pretty sweaty by the end since it got warm out so quickly.  Last year it was frigid cold.  We showed up but we didn't actually do the walk since we had 2 new babies and Terri still recovering from her C-section.  So this year we were all pretty famished by the end of it.  Maybe next year I'll suggest we change the tradition a little again and go somewhere healthier.  Also after I let my big lunch settle in a little I did Kenpo X with long sleeves and pants on.  I thought that would be a great way to sweat out some of the ridiculous sodium that was in that wrap and fries.  I inadvertently wiped myself out though and ended up in bed around 10, asleep by 10:30.  I got up late and went to breakfast at Mom and Dad's for Mother's Day around 10 this morning.  Now, I've gotta go squeeze in a workout before I have to get ready for work.  I'll post later on today's food consumption entry...

A goal has been set which will be reached.

I've decided that if I can keep up with my new short-term goal, I most certainly can update my blog more than once per month.  I don't really have any good excuses for not posting in my free time...just that the weather is finally nice enough to enjoy going for walks and riding my bike outside, so those have been bigger priorities.  That and the rest of my workout/diet plan.  I'm down to the last month before summer and if I want to reach my New Year's Resolution goal of a sexy beach body with some ab definition, to be strong and lean by June, I need to up my game.  Soooo... the goal now is to keep diligent track of what I'm eating and what I'm doing for a workout.  I've given myself the short-term goal of May 31st.  I started May 1st (will back post food entries).  If I get where I want to be by the end of the month, I may continue to track myself for awhile just to keep training myself to maintain.  Being only 4 days in so far, I already think this is going to be the key to losing those last pesky pounds.  While I am primarily keeping track in a small notebook, I'm doing a lot of research online on the foods I'm consuming and how they work together to help me reach my goal.  I also plan on sharing my diet and exercise journal here on my blog.  I've found countless tips from many a blog about fitness and exercise; so here's adding my application of various methods of losing weight to the collective unconscious of the internet.  Maybe some who needs help reaching their weight loss goals will read it and be educated.  Anyways, that's my cheesy goal.  But I will reach it, damn it!

A Food Journal: Day 1

Today is the first day of my food journal.  I'm keeping track of all my food and my workouts for the month of May in a little notebook.  I decided to share on here my blog because I really think it'll be the tool that helps me get rid of these pesky last pounds.  That and I want a more public record of my efforts.  This first day is not to be a testament of the future days and weeks.  Totally unforeseen by me, I ended up at Buffalo Wild Wings tonight with Matt, Angela, and Jon...
