Macrofood Everyday: Millet

Light Quick to make Lunch

Sunday, October 15, 2017

Light lunch that is quick to make!

When I struggle with digestion problems I like to cook meals that are not going to feel heavy in my stomach. Soft creamy millet is a great option just for that.

I like to make mine on the wetter side, cause I rarely enjoy dry millet.

One of my favorite things about millet is that it is a whole grain that takes very little time to cook! I cook mine for 30 minutes and done!

For Lunch

Millet

with caramelized Onions and Sweet Potato

Onion Dill Pickles

and Olives

Simple Raw Salad

with Iceberg Lettuce , Tomato, Apple,

and a Lemon Tahini dressing

Blanched Kale

brown rice

Trying to a Make Paella

Tuesday, December 13, 2016

After watching Venu Sanz (check out her amaizing website here) live instafeed where she was making vegetarian paella with Brown Rice it gave me enough courage to try to make it on my own!

I know Paella is one of those dishes that is so special to so many that there is a lot of opinion on the right and wrong way of making it. But I really wanted to give it a shot. and make it delicous for me. (cause I was going to be eating it)

I started of with a very wide pan. I do not own a paella pan, but I was told it is fine if you use what you have. I started sautéeing my diced Oninos with Garlic and Salt.

Then I added a pinch of Tumeric powder for the Color. and the rest of my vegetables. Carrots, Rutugbaga, Cellery, and Parsley. Sautéed untill all the vegetables were wilted. Added my Half cooked Brown Rice. Safron,leftover Fried Tempeh, and enough water to just cover the Rice and added a little more Salt and Pepper.

I let it all simmer untill the Rice was done.

I think it came out pretty damn delicous. I definetly want to practice more and play aorund with it. but I enjoy making grain this way for sure!

Have you ever Paella? how do you do it?

Thank you to Venu for showing me how this can be made!

Here I am in Asheville visiting family and quiteing down my life. And cooking! During the course of caring for my father I lost all my inspiration to cook. there was no time or energy to do much of it anyway. my family and friends were a big help. It took a long while to have real interest for it again.

and to be real, when that goes eating good food gets harder as well. when all the emotion are in the air. seems way easier to just eat junk food and nothing else. Is like the junk feeds the dramatic side to the feelings...I don't know.

Anyway. I am trying to start my life up again. and this blog is apart of that!

It is so wonderful and inspiring to connect with like minded people about delicous food!

so thank you all.
