I have been some form of a vegetarian since I was 13 years old. I tried several times to become vegan, though my heart desperately wants to be vegan the rest of my body does not and I have to, after a long battle with myself, come to terms with that!
OK here is another non recipe/idea for dinner or lunch as requested by my Mom
I usually make some sort of grain on the weekend and have leftovers throughout the week.
It is hard to get away from news about the Covid-19 virus, and I understand how it can be frustrating, it’s all we hear about!! And I am no different, I want to write about this pandemic but from a different perspective. Bear with me!
A very delicious sandwich, high in fibre, vitamins and nutrients. A staunch meat eater gave this sandwich his approval, so it must be good! Give it a go, it’s an easy to throw together meal!
There is a bit of a disconnect with what we eat and its impact on our health. I was recently on the ferry and a young couple was sitting behind me. I couldn’t help but notice the frequency of their trips to the vending machine for snacks. Don’t get me wrong I am far from a perfect eater but as far as I am concerned there is no food in those machines. There are food stuffs, but no actual nutrients.
Those of us who are doing our part and self isolating in attempt to plank the curve of this Covid-19 virus may be going a bit stir crazy. I think this is the perfect time, when our lives have slowed, way down, to get our butts in the kitchen. This is a fantastic opportunity to get creative, to try new dishes, flavours, and/or new ingredients. We have been given this gift of time and space to actually cook, rather than just stuff food in our faces while on the run, going about our daily lives.
