Two other friends too I flew to Southern California to savor a few days amongst a girl who moved closer to her grandkids—her boy needed assistance too she rose to the challenge. I offered to create all the meals during the catch because I've learned that I won't acquire decent nutrient (or whatsoever food... hello, breakfast is the most of import repast of the day) unless I footstep up. Thrilled well-nigh having me create for them, they were eager to run into what too how I cooked.
It's merely easier for me to create than laissez passer the create didactics for my eating lifestyle. In this case, the create was primarily my friend's hubby too he wanted to larn to a greater extent than well-nigh eating healthier.
I sent a shopping listing of groceries to acquire ahead of us arriving. We would halt for the balance of the items on the agency from the airdrome at their local Trader Joe's.
One affair I didn't excogitation on was the lack of cooking utensils too pans. Yikes! Who doesn't accept a spatula inwards their kitchen? Well... manifestly quite a few. I made produce amongst what I had, but I had to acquire creative when I steamed the broccoli without a steamer—I produce not use a microwave for cooking. Microwaves don't cook—they agitate molecules. I'm non eating agitated foods.
I cooked quinoa for breakfast, preparing it the agency I consume it at domicile on a regular basis. I brought a large purse of my homemade trail mix for snacking too adding to breakfast. Since nosotros went out for Mexican nutrient ane night, I entirely needed to create 2 dinners. Roasted salmon amongst raw veggie salad too steamed broccoli was on the card ane night. The other I cooked Yam, Chickpea & Spinach Curry Soup.
