Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 As I live alone, I try to eat, sometimes it is hard though. So, recently I discovered that if I chop up the veggies and put them in a bowl in my fridge, I'll be able to use them all week. One night I'll make a batch of brown rice in my rice maker and keep that in the fridge too. Then, fried rice: pre-chopped veggies, Mrs. Dash seasoning, olive oil, all sauted. Then, add in the rice, cook until warm, add an egg and cook until done. Add some soy sauce and instant dinner. Or, I'll cook the veggies and add a can of diced tomatoes and eat it on pasta. My veggies include zuchini, yellow squash, peppers, onion, mushrooms, brocolli... whatever is cheap and I like. I've discovered that the veggies keep really well and that I eat so much better this way. Of course, no doubt I'll go through this phase too, but for now... One comment on organic foods, they probably have more nutrients than regular foods as the soil isn't exhausted yet. But, yes, normal foods probably are lower in essential nutrients, like calcium, than they should be due to the soil that they grow in. I take vitamins, raise a few veggies in a tiny garden and eat organic when I can. It only makes sense to me...
