Today is the start of my new eating life style. Last night, armed with a grocery list 4 pages long, Carrie and I went to do our shopping for the week. Once in the store, we spent a solid 2 hours in only the fresh produce. My cart was brimming with foods promising health and happiness. We zipped through the other sections of the store taking hardly anything else. After shelling out more for a week of groceries than many people in the world make in an entire year, we went off to have our final fast food indulgence.
After Carrie arrived with her family, we plotted out our next days meals. We decided on Steel Cut Oats for breakfast, Chickpea Burgers for lunch and Pear Gorgonzola Salad for supper. Just to test our diligence we have a child's birthday party tonight where we will have to say no to an array of delicious desserts.
Breakfast was my first experience with steel cut oats. We soaked them overnight and Carrie added Cinnamon and Ginger this morning. They were a bit plain, but I did like them...which is good since they are on our breakfast menu several times a week from this day forward. Now I am off to assist with the assembly of the "burgers".
I am very curious about the burgers and if they are good maybe you can post the recipe ok? My first "aternative" pizza had chickpeas on it and it was an immediate positive experience. Take care and keep up the good food fight. :)
ReplyDeleteI will post the recipe for the burgers and the chutney that went on the top. They were quite good, but the chutney really made them great.
ReplyDeleteI make my steel cut oats in the crock pot. Easy peasy.
