Occasionally, when grocery shopping, I have caught myself being envious of older men´s shopping baskets. They only hold a few
items - I wish my life could be so easy and simple! Why do I need to
buy all this and that if they don´t? Okay, in reality they buy
pre-prepared foods, which only need heating in the microwave oven, a loaf of bread, and beer. But why couldn´t my life still be more simple when it comes to food?
I´ll try it out.
This Oestara I plan to eat only 1-3 main ingredients in one meal.
Like this:
Breakfast:
1/2 liter green tea
1 banana + a handful of nuts/seeds + berries (mixed, matched, chopped, mashed... anything goes)
Lunch:
1/2 liter water
Mon: pasta + onion + a veggie
Tue: beans + a veggie
Wed: home made bread + soup made with two main veggies
Thu: rice + a veggie
Fri: goat´s feta foccaccia
Sat: pancakes
Sun: mashed potatoes + tofu/fish + a veggie
Dinner:
1/2 liter green tea
muesli + soymilk
Supper:
1/2 liter herbal tea + soymilk
dark chocolate
I will use herbs and spices, and honey and such for flavour and seasoning. But only eat 1-3 actual food items. Each day I will ponder which food I crave the most, and choose to eat it. For example, do I want to make mushroom or tomato pasta on Monday?
The amount of food is determined simply by appetite. If I crave it, I need it. This stuff, when kept home-made and clean of commercial sauces and ready-to-use mixes, is so healthy that I virtually can not overeat.
