House of Zen ... day 2

Yesterday, Brendine had a reaction to the pineapple (she knew she reacted to fresh pineapple ... now is fully aware that all forms of pineapple are on the 'no-eats' list). It was an exciting time filled with inflaming tongue, red/rashed face and some form of hives brewing inside the mouth. Hmmm .... Ken now has 2 cans of pineapple in his corner. 

On Saturday's menu ... 

Breakfast
  • Brendine started her day with teaching 2 fitness classes. Still feeling quite ill and now with a pounding migraine, she managed to swallow a blueberry muffin with a little bit of peanut butter spread.
  • Ken enjoyed the original muffin batch  - blueberry-pineapple with orange zest
Lunch
  • Brendine, still feeling ill, opted out of lunch and instead will be sleeping for the rest of the day. Warm tea is providing a soothing touch.
  • Last night, Brendine prepared some tuna cakes, which Ken heated up for a quick lunch
Snacks
  • Popcorn (a pantry item) - Ken's leftovers from last night's snack
Supper
  • Ken is in charge ... surprise dinner!
Recipe - Tuna Cakes
  • 1 baked potato (with skin)
  • 1 can tuna (drained)
  • 1/2 can peas (rinsed and drained)
  • Directions: mix all ingredients (mashing peas well). Form into patties and bake (350F, 20 minutes) or pan-sear on (medium heat, 4-5 minutes per side). 
Until next time, the House of Zen is resting.
