So let me tell you again also, eat like this for a while and you will not believe how GOOD you will FEEL. (combine with exercise, stir, mix and marvel at how good your body will look)
Make fresh foods, nothing out of box and experiment with different ways of preparing and flavoring your dishes. If I can do it, YOU can too!! Here are some pics for inspiration.

This is my version of a traditional Dutch dish called "hutspot"
Mashed cauliflower and broccoli with some mild Italian sausage. This makes a GREAT breakfast after a workout. I had it at around 9:30 after a 7:30 workout

Dinner last night, fresh gulf shrimp. Remember the hot pepper/garlic relish I made?
I just took a tablespoon of it, some olive oil and marinade shrimp for about 30-49 minutes
Thanks to Heather, I roasted cauliflower for the first time. So I thought I'd make a little pesto and use that to toss around with the cauliflower. I cheated with the pesto and just threw some garlic, basil and olive oil in the little blender. It's tastier chopped by hand with some pine nuts and Parmesan, but wanted to make it quick and it is again nice to have in your fridge to add to....well whatever you like.

Made a cucumber salad with scallion and roasted peppers. Some olive oil and balsamic.
Grilled the shrimp and the peppers. Put everything together and enjoy your yummy dinner.

Ooooooh, roasted cauliflower, one of my more recent favorites. We each race to get the brown bits, sort of caramelized. I like to serve it with homemade mayo drizzled generously on top.
Anna,
It was my first time making it. Oh my g'd!!!! DELICIOUS! Home made mayo drizzle......now I'm hungry.

You and your nightshades!!:)
I love stopping by and have recently started posting pics of my food creations on my blog too--thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Sarena,
Do you not eat peppers? I have not made up my mind completely about the night shades, although I have a distaste for eggplant. I've read several posts, but nothing to convincing. If you have some good info, please share. Mark Sisson eats them freely (peppers and tomatoes, so does Art D.)
I'm enjoying your blog too, great workouts you do, WOW. ;-)
Marc
Yeah, I gave the nightshades up as a whole years ago. Restarted them and realized they just dont work for me. So about 15 months ago, I stopped again! I never ate tomatoes as I was "allergic" to the enzymes in raw tomatoes as is my Mom. Initially peppers and eggplant were difficult though.
A friend of mine who is a rheumatologist, and totally conventional in his practice, even told me what a difference abstinence from these products exhibits in his patients. With the workouts I do, at my age, I need all the help I can get!! Thanks for your kudos on my workouts
Oh and Dr. Garrett Smith,ND, has written extensively on nightshades, in the Performance Menu Journals!

Hope that's helpful!!
Hey wanna link my blog to yours??
Sarena,
very helpful! Just read the first link.
Would you kow if "hot peppers' are part of the nightshades? There seems to be good feedback about eating hot peppers. (capscin (spelling) being beneficial)
Thanks again for the links!
Have a great day!!!
Marc
Haha, that does look exactly like hutspot! I'll have to give it a try sometime :) Cool you thought of me <3
Your pesto sounds nice 'n easy too, mmmm..
Sarena,
Would be my pleasure! See link on right.
Naomi,
Try it, it's easy and oh so good!
Marc
