Yahoo.com had an article on five foods you should eat every day. They were:
- Dark leafy greens
- Something from the onion family (includes garlic)
- Whole grains
- Nuts
- Yogurt with active cultures
Last night I brought home shrimp for the Sig-O. I don’t eat shrimp. I sautéed baby spinach with shallots and garlic and finished it with pecans (see above) and balsamic vinegar. If I’d cooked quinoa for the starch instead of potatoes I would have had four out of five.
Tonight I’m going to cook some kind of fish and serve it on a bed of red chard, or kale, with lemon butter caper sauce. Tonight I will do the quinoa. That’s three. Hard to figure out where the nuts go. Active-culture yogurt is not a “go” for this meal. I wonder if ice cream counts as a substitution.
