My food is so simple now. I think of new recipes to try, but just don't want to expend the energy. So I've been eating my veggies for breakfast, rice or potatoes and veggies, or maybe a salad for lunch and dinner. I often make Cheezy Sauce, Smoky Cheeze Sauce, Onion Mushroom Gravy, Creamy Cauliflower Sauce, or Bean Gravy, to tie together all sorts of rice/potato and veggie meals. It makes life so simple!
One product I found that I love is Dandy Blend. It's an instant herbal beverage powder, made from extracts of roasted roots of dandelion, beets, and chicory, and grains of barley and rye. All of the gluten from the barley and rye is left behind during the extraction process, so Dandy Blend is gluten-free. I used to have quite the love affair with coffee, and although I no longer crave it, I do still crave the feeling of a warm mug in my hands, and drinking a hot drink on cold mornings. Dandy Blend fits the bill. I drink it with a little bit of unsweetened soy milk, and I think it's delicious!
I also found a new gadget, the Chef'n Veggie Chop Hand-Powered Food Chopper, in spite of the fact that I'm working on simplifying my home. I've been eating lots of bags of Trader Joe's Cruciferous Crunch, which is shredded, broccoli, brussels sprouts, kale, and red and green cabbage. I saute it quickly and eat it for breakfast, sometimes with a sprinkling of Coconut Aminos. The problem is that Trader Joe's is a bit of a drive, and I don't always get there. So I got this so that I could make my own. I realize that I could do the same thing in my food processor, but I'm more likely to make my salads with this little gadget than I am with the food processor.
