Two Weeks of Complete Meals

I am nonetheless scuffling with issues to put in writing about. I have been wanting to place collectively a put up of the dinners Jerry and I’ve been consuming these days however I hoped to attend till I’ve extra images. I am beginning to overlook what a few of these recipes even had been, so I am going to simply go forward and put up them.

The principle objective (for our two-week problem) was to eat extra greens, but it surely form of become consuming primarily entire meals. Each of us actually beloved doing this! It was attention-grabbing to see how a lot better we felt–physically and mentally–when consuming meals our our bodies like. And that was solely two weeks!

I made many of the recipes from the How Not To Die and How Not To Food regimen cookbooks. I do not assume there have been any that we did not like; each of these cookbooks have been superior. Understand that I’m not-even-a-little-bit-good at meals pictures, so my footage aren’t precisely interesting, hahaha. There have been really a couple of that I am not even going to put up as a result of it is going to make folks by no means wish to attempt issues like black lentils and black bean soup!

Anyway, listed below are among the methods we received extra greens in…

Candy Potato Waffles (I found that I take advantage of far much less syrup if I put it in slightly ramekin and dip the waffles as I eat reasonably than pouring it on prime; I solely used half of what’s pictured)

I did not imply to incorporate this, however I undoubtedly ate all of those Asian pears earlier than they went dangerous! Haha.

Candy Potato Taco Bowl (brown rice, candy potatoes, corn, black beans, seasoning)

Millet “Risotto” with mushrooms, spinach, and white beans (we did not like this dish solely as a result of we did not like the flavour of the millet itself; this might be good with a distinct grain)

I overlook what this was called–I believe it was some kind of stew–but it had barley, mushrooms, peppers, onions, carrots, and chickpeas.

Lentil & Quinoa Chili

Stew with butternut squash, crimson beans, corn, tomatoes, peppers, and onions. There may be quinoa below there, too 😉

This was form of our “junk meals” dinner–tofu in a sriracha marinade and baked, together with child potatoes with “chili cheese” seasoning.

Once more, I overlook what this was referred to as. But it surely had candy potatoes, cauliflower, peas, peppers, and raisins (it sounded odd to me with the raisins, which is why I picked it from the e-book). I do not keep in mind what grain was below there, but it surely was most likely brown rice. This was actually good!

Properly, that was the beginning of Jerry’s and my 12 months of being grown-ups and consuming our veggies. I had actually hoped that this problem would assist Jerry to love greens extra, and he found that he does like candy potatoes, mushrooms, and cauliflower (when ready sure methods). He even admitted the cucumber within the shawarma bowls really labored properly. He has by no means preferred cucumbers as a result of he mentioned that they overpower the whole lot else and all you’ll be able to style is cucumber. I occur to like them. I believe I am going to make some hummus at present and have cucumbers and hummus for a snack–that sounds scrumptious.

Now, I’ll write up a meal plan for the week. I used to hate meal planning, however this vegetable problem form of made me excited to meal plan once more. I’ll attempt kale once more this week–it’s been YEARS since I attempted it–and I am hoping I am going to prefer it higher this time round. When cooking with greens, I often go for spinach or collard greens. Yesterday, Jerry and I made a decision to do one other two weeks of consuming (largely) entire meals. We each felt gross from consuming poorly after consuming rather well for 2 weeks.

Anyway, when you have a favourite recipe that makes use of a lot of greens, please share!
