See, that's the thing. I'm not so much into foods as I am into getting what I need from them. A peanut butter covered stick of celery is gourmet to me and I usually eat it while on the way to something else knowing it has nutritional value.
I know this isn't healthy, but it's hard to change colors at this stage of my game. Mostly I just simply like pastas and rices and vegetables and fruits and never take the time to do anything creative to them. I eat tons of soups though, so maybe soups are my best bet. I'm trying to change all that a little bit with the addition of spices because they do contain so many nutrients.
Truth is, I cooked for my family all those years and I have healthy strong children, both bigger and stronger than I am. But when I found myself alone, cooking fell by the wayside and no longer held any interest.
So . . . you'll find 'Looking for Magic' is a short series that introduces us to the nutrients found in everyday spices. Most people don't think of spices as adding much beyond flavor to a dish; not true, spices come from plants, they provide the same nutrients as the plants do. I think there are 8 articles in the series.
And if I'm very lucky, all these comments and recipes and input from all of you might just help me to better my eating habits!
Imagine that, teaching an old dog new tricks, changing colors and all that!
