Lentil soup. Soup. Once one get's their soup routine together, that's great. Isn't there something about
avoiding old food and maoi's? So not too big of a batch. Or freeze. Lentils, water, an onion, a carrot and salt are actually interesting and it takes about an hour.Brown rice. Yeah. No brainer.
Crockpots.
Now this might sound gross to some, but a good bone broth is deeply nourishing. I rarely do beef. Take an entire chicken, skin and all, simmer stove top or crockpot with a tablespoon or two of apple cider vinegar (maoi restricted?). Remove the chicken before overcooked, reserve the meat, and return everything (bones, yucky skin) and the vinegar leeches the minerals into your the broth.
Strain and discard the creepy bones/vegetable junk. Unless there is a lucky dog in your house. Then they get that (the
bones should crumble in your hands). Freeze the stock you don't use. Trace minerals.Yeah. Rule of thumb, the less processed and fresher better. I don't like my food stepped on. How about that book The Omnivore's Dilemma for interest, not recipes. Polan. Michael, I believe.
Oatmeal. A trick: after cooking decently fresh rolled oats, remove from heat. Quickly stir in one beaten egg. It disappears into the oats, and that will stick much longer than oats alone. Eggs are cheap protein.
