Details
- Weekly Recipe and Meal Discussion Julie Marie announced that the week’s recipe is Instant Pot Dried Beans Busy Day Chili, which will utilize the Broiled Trinity (peppers, onions, and corn) to prevent them from becoming soggy. Vicky shared that she made the Tomato Bisque for the first time and served it over leftover Kids’ Spaghetti with Italian Crumbles and broccoli. Julie Marie noted that her Kids’ Spaghetti is always plain, as she and Jerry Christensen prefer to have their vegetables separate, such as air-fried broccoli.
- Food Preparation and Leftover Creativity Vicky husband, Herb, highly rated the Tomato Bisque, which Julie Marie was pleased to hear. Julie Marie discussed getting creative with leftovers, sometimes making a creamed veggie broth soup with plant-based broth mix and soy milk over Kids’ Spaghetti. Julie Marie also mentioned playing with a new version of Potato Corn Chowder, stashing a quart aside for Jerry’s dinner.
- Dog Food and Health Vicky started her dog, Sadi, on Wild Earth dog food and reported that Sadi loves it, and their bowels have been good so far, despite a history of a sensitive stomach. Jerry Christensen and Julie Marie mentioned that their dog, Lucky, switched to the new food “100% overnight,” and was eliminating perfectly. They also noted Sadi is an Australian Labradoodle, and Lucky goes “nuts” over doodle poodle or Australian shepherd type dogs.
- Fitness Routine and Strength Training Julie Marie shared that they are on day six of a fitness first routine, which includes a 10-minute rebounder session before a dog walk to help with upper back tightness. They demonstrated a “health bounce,” where the toes don’t leave the rebounder, using arm movements for propulsion. Julie Marie advised Vicky to incorporate strength training with free weights to build muscle, which helps maintain independence and a lower weight. Faith agreed and plans to start using free weights as it gets too cold to bike.
- Dietary Discussions and Misconceptions Julie Marie and Vicky discussed the rise of people raising their own chickens and the potential for increased egg consumption and heart disease. They also discussed different high-protein diets, with Julie Marie clarifying that a ketogenic diet is low protein/high fat, while Atkins is high protein, and high protein intake stimulates insulin production similar to sugar. Julie Marie concluded that while ketogenic diets can produce initial weight loss results by cutting out processed foods and reducing inflammation, they are generally not sustainable long-term and may increase the risk of cancer and heart disease.
- Height and Shoe Size Vicky, who is 4’11” and very tiny, shared that their size zero petite clothes are fitting well, though they expressed a desire to build muscle to address “hanging fat” on their arms. The participants discussed the common observation of short girls marrying super tall guys, with Vicky being 4’11” and their husband 6’5″, and Faith is 5’2.” Julie Marie’s husband, Jerry Christensen, wears a size 12 shoe, and Vicky’s husband wears a size 14.
- Tuber Tonic Preparation and Time Management The discussion shifted to soup preferences, with Faith and Vicky favoring the latest tomato soup. Julie Marie discussed a new finding about their tuber tonic recipe, noting they plan to rewrite the Tuberonic Plus recipe to include anthocyanins to boost curcumin absorption. Vicky expressed that the time-consuming grating of ginger and turmeric makes them reluctant to make the tuber tonic often. Nancy, via chat, suggested using a Brevel food processor for shredding, and Julie Marie offered the tip of freezing pre-processed ingredients or freezing the already brewed concentrated tonic in cubes to save time.
- Daily Routine and Protective Beverages Julie Marie mentioned their enjoyment of baking bread and their time-blocked cooking routine. They also expressed gratitude for the one-meal-a-day lifestyle, which reduces the need for nutrition-related maintenance during the day, aside from drinking protective beverages. Julie Marie suggested a shortcut for the beauty broth by prepping all the raw vegetables (carrots, kale, garlic, onion, celery) in quart jars for the week.
- Produce Sourcing and Preferences Julie Marie discussed their preference for using freezer broccoli from Costco over fresh produce from local stores, citing the poor quality and a “weird smell” of fresh produce in other locations, including Natural Grocers. They shared that they rely on Azure Standard for sourcing organic produce, particularly kale, once a month during the winter until their greenhouse is operational. Vicky confirmed that Azure Standard deliveries are monthly, asking if the kale lasts for a full month.
- Upcoming Cabbage Order and Brother’s Visit Julie Marie mentioned receiving another case of cabbage from Azure Standard on Thursday. They shared that their brother is planning to stay with them for the entire month of November, taking a break from their shop; Julie Marie expressed excitement, despite teasing them about getting along. Their brother chose St. George for a winter visit because they are a rock climber and love the area.
- Meeting Conclusion and Next Class Jerry Christensen announced the conclusion of the current session, stating that chat is officially over and thanked everyone for joining. He informed attendees that the next class will be held on Tuesday. Vicky and Faith offered thanks and goodbyes, with Julie Marie expressing their love and appreciation for everyone’s support.
