No Time Like the Present

Welcome and happy Sunday! Traditionally, Sunday is the first day of the week, but with so many people working Monday through Friday (or Saturday), Sunday becomes a prep day for lunches, suppers, etc. As you're pulling out all those packaged and processed foods, start a new idea that by this time next week you'll be happily packing some great anti-fungal lunches and planning some great, healthy, economical and easy to prepare suppers and breakfasts.


It IS truly easy...tomorrow I'll give you some ideas for your grocery list.


Tuesday we'll do through some quick recipes for breakfasts.


Wednesday we'll look at some easy to pack lunches.


Thursday we'll play with some recipes for good suppers.


Come the weekend, you'll be set with that grocery list in hand. You'll probably be walking in some different parts of the grocery store--more in the perimeter and less in the aisles. You'll also get to check out the local health food/whole food store in your area for some fun new flavors. One thing that won't be on your list is sugar--sugar has become the unwelcome guest that attempts to sneak into practically everything that is processed in any way, shape, or form. To keep the intruder at bay, I've emptied the pantry of it--from now on, only the hummingbirds will be ingesting sugar here.  I'd invite all of you to do the same. 

Don't have time to prepare meals this new way? Don't believe what the fast food nation of marketers tell you. If you're not spending time at the grocery or at the sink cleaning some veggies and fruits now, you'll be more than likely spending time sitting in a doctor's office or standing in line at the pharmacy later. I don't know about you, but I'm taking the grocery/kitchen sink route.

Today's recipe is a good supper of fried fish, creole brown rice, broccoli, and grape tomatoes.

Head to the frozen food section of the store and look for flounder or tilapia fillets--very inexpensive and with such a mild taste, even picky eaters will like it. You can put hot water in a mixing bowl and toss the individually packed fish for a quick thaw. I use rice flour to coat the fish (you can find it at most any health food store. Heat canola oil, add the fish, and when once done, remove and give a good shake of sea salt on the fillets. While you're attending to the fish, cook some frozen broccoli in the microwave and then cook some brown minute rice in the microwave--once done, shake on some creole seasoning. I use Tony Chachere's original creole seasoning--$1.00 for 8 ounces at most any grocery store. You can also add some to the brown rice flour when frying the fish--it's great! When all is done, plate it, add some grape tomatoes. Less than 30 minutes, and you have an anti-fungal meal that's really healthy! (Picture will appear on fb.)

Come back tomorrow--grocery list time!
