Potato Pancetta and Brussels Sprout Saute - 21g Carbs, 3g Fiber, 2g Sugar

From: The Washington Post, February 8, 2012
Recipe Source: From Nourish columnist Stephanie Witt Sedgwick

I'm determined to get more people to love Brussels sprouts. In pursuit
of that goal, I've teamed them here with potatoes and pancetta. It's a
terrific combination that brings character to the braised potatoes. The
sprouts are shredded, which -- in addition to shortening the cooking
time -- keeps them fresh-tasting and free of any association with cabbage.

MAKE AHEAD: The cooking method here is simple, but it does take time to
cut up the potatoes and shred the Brussels sprouts. You can prep both
vegetables up to a day in advance. Cover the shredded sprouts tightly
with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. The potatoes can
be peeled and cubed, then stored, covered in water, in the refrigerator.
Course: Side Dish
Features: Healthy
Makes about ten 3/4-cup servings

1 Tbsp olive oil
2 oz pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 small onion (4 oz), finely chopped (3/4 cup)
2 lb red-skinned potatoes, peeled and cut into approximately 3/4-inch
cubes (5 cups)
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup homemade or no-salt-added chicken broth
1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed, cut in half and then into thin slices

Heat the oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add
the pancetta; cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the meat browns lightly.
Stir in the onion; reduce the heat to medium and cook for 3 to 4 minutes,
until the onion softens.

Add the potatoes; season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss to
combine. Pour in the broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook
until the broth just starts to boil. Cover the skillet or saute pan and
reduce the heat so the broth maintains a low boil. Cook for 15 to
20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.

Uncover; increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced Brussels
sprouts. Cook, tossing gently, for 3 minutes, until the sprouts are
just tender and almost all of the broth has evaporated. Remove from
the heat.

Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve warm.

Well I have what is called Oral Allergy Syndrome. I actually allergic to tree and weed pollen, but the pollens protein chains are similar to the fruit or veggies protein chains. So when I eat the fruit or veggie my body thinks I'm eating the pollen.

My reactions are anywhere from something like eczema to something more severe like severe stomach pain that lasts for 6-7 hours. It varies and it seems to change all the time.

I react to oranges just the smallest amount triggers the severe stomach pain so I avoid lemons, lime, and grapefruit too. I've been drinking two drinks with frozen cranberries and cucumbers and various fruits. I eat chard and mustard greens I haven't bought kale though in awhile. Most of my veggies have to be cooked or I get sick to my stomach or get the severe pain. My fruit has to be frozen, or peeled or frozen. Cooking, freezing, and peeling changes the protein chains or removes them.

I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea but when I am ill or having severe allergic skin reactions I drink juices made from celery, cucumber, carrot, ginger and lemon. I also mix it up with kale, chard, etc.

I'm wishing you a speedy recovery. The absolute fastest way that I heal is by drinking green juices. I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea but when I am ill or having severe allergic skin reactions I drink juices made from celery, cucumber, carrot, ginger and lemon. I also mix it up with kale, chard, etc.

You said your biggest problem is with fruit / veg. I understand how fruit can mess with your blood sugar, etc, but what do the green veg do to you?

Now for those that don't know this surgery takes several months and close to a year for everything inside to be healed up. You have ducts, veins, blood vessels, tissue, and nerves not to mention skin that has to heal. Not to mention your muscles, joints, ect have to get used to your new center of gravity. I have hundreds of sutures on the inside on each side of my body.

> Since about 2-3 weeks before the surgery I have not been fasting, but in the mornings I only eat meat since my biggest problem is with fruits/veggies. The problem is my body is rejecting a lot of the stiches. In the last 3 weeks I've had over 20 "dissolvable" stiches work their way out and they had to be cut out the rest of the way. Not plesant to say the least. It's 4 weeks since my surgery I'm over half way done with my 5th week, and my inscisions are no were near healed yet because they keep opening whenever a new stich comes to the surface. I also have a spot on the right side where my skin has actually died, and had to rejuvinate Per the surgeons nurse this type of thing typically happens with smokers, well I've never smoked, but my body is very reactive.

> The allergy side of me wants me to do the fast 5 but the medical side of me is saying not a good idea because my body needs the energy to heal. I am about 15lbs overweight, so I have fat to spare. I was fasting daily up until 2-3 weeks before surgery. I'm just torn on what to do. I had to stumble on fast 5 on my own as a fix for my allergies. My doctors were no help.
