AWESOME thread.

post more small-meal type stuff!
I have a family to feed! razz lol
biggrin


for real though. great stuff. I love food. good food.

helping to get some people past old habits of eating spicy/sweet is HARD... their bodies' reaction to blander/more bitter flavors is hard to deal with and without determination, the initial disgust usually wins out sad The withdrawl and cravings from lack of sugar and chemicals that your body saw as 'needed' before is hard to break...
You have to keep it up and build new habits though..



I'm sad to say I lived a shellllltered diet in my childhood. and ate only out of boxes and freezers. not much fresh stuff at all and definitely not local or organic sad ! I don't blame my mom (k, maybe I do.), but I am definitely seeking alternatives these days~ proud to say I got her thinking about what she is eating too!! not that I *WANT* her to feel bad for how she raised us, but it's never too late to learn something newer and better!! and I want her to feed my baby girl the best when she's at grandmas ><



k so - I know quite a bit about good foods... but not so much about implementing them into meals...



plz don't tell me you still use minute rices~

Do you all soak your rice and stuff? what exactly in quinoa anyway??


I'm going to go search out more information now, reply if anyone would like smile

-sulk-
my boyfriend still buys packaged rices that you cook on the stove top and add delicious sodium flavors to x.x; really, i just need to find my own mexican rice ingredients and get him to like brown rice.

i eat fairly healthy but i don't really cook any -meals- because my boyfriend HATES healthy food. It's like all I can do to get him to eat an apple and usually have to cut cheese with it too. He's totally americanized, loves Hamburgers and fries no matter how much I repeat and explain how it's killing him. So when grocery shopping he buys himself a lot of frozen corn dogs, pizzas, hot pockets, burritos, and the occasional steak and rice dinner. While I have to eat my raw broccoli with organic ranch and deli sliced turkey meat rolled up and usually some tortellini noodles, which aren't very healthy but better than most pre-packaged foods. Through out the day I will eat walnuts and fruits, usually a banana in the morning, apple and orange and nuts or a fatty cream cheese bagal to hold me over until dinner.

I would like to cook actual meals but 1) need my boyfriend to eat them with me and 2) need some more income to spend on food the way I want, rather than just buying what I can afford.

I would love to cook rabbits, they are the healthiest meat, and you can easily find them from local growers and ask what they feed them or go visit their location.

Quinoa is like... hemp seeds and rice. You can eat quinoa raw like hemp seeds, just throw em into yogurt and chew away. Or you can cook it just like rice. I believe it's one cup water to one cup quinoa. It has a very nutty flavor, and can be quite dry and difficult to eat without a good flavoring added to it. Unfortunately I failed there, which may be why I haven't bought any in months. I ended up just adding peanut butter to the quinoa and cooking only a small 1/3 cup or 1/4 cup and eating it as a sort of snack, very slowly cuz the peanut butter is so sticky in your mouth. It would be best to cook like how you'd make a rice pilaf which I am not familiar with myself lol. I'm really not very familiar with the kitchen.

so yea, the biggest problem with making meals for me is buying all the ingredients and spices that i'm only going to use a tiny bit of. So big time initial purchase and then I can keep re-making the meal.

My hubby is exactly the same.... except HE'S GETTING BETTER. He is learning. The more I bug him, the more he succumbs. bahhaha.

no but really... it took a long time... he still thinks we spend way too much money on food. I disagree.

um watch this: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=52C999F28DFF94F973AF903A8EF6E416

it's not amazing. but its to the point. and exactly what people need to think about when shopping at a grocery store.

My hubby buys very little packaged foods now (used to eat all kinds of pizza pockets, hot dogs, white bread, instant rice mixes, instant this and quick that~)... Now buys only the occasional can of beefaroni and canned stews :S
I need to get him off buying that crappy tube ground beef stuff :/ He uses that in meals a lot. and I end up eating some of it. bleh O_O;

He agrees with the importance, and even if to just make me happier - i have more sway with what groceries we buy. He still doesn't eat much of the food I make.. but atleast he's stuck eating mostly good stuff~
He's starting to look at ingredients too.. and the less BAD stuff in the house, the MORE good stuff biggrin

I'm gonna look into different rice/seed/legume dishes. hemp/flax etc are promising investments. smile

Ooh! That's a great link - I'm kind of ashamed to say I've never read much of Mercola's stuff. I really better should. It is quite highly spoken of...

I wish I could eliminate sugar but my body craves it and if I don't eat a certain amount I get sick, but I agree with everything you've said.

Homemade is the best, I make homemade food and it's cheaper taste better and I find myself and the people in my house more healthy from it and less likely to get sick.

I am totally addicted to sugar too. I have sugar almost every single day. I would like to go sugar free, but seeing as how it's Easter and I've got bags full of candy, I don't see that being anytime soon sweatdrop

Same with me. I drink so many sodas a day I get terrible headaches without it. The fridge is stocked up so I can't think of quitting now.
