Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 I am basically a very boring and even lazier person. I have thought for a long time that I could probably eat the same thing all of the time. Our catsand dogs do. Of course, we don't know if they object or not, but.I heard a radio program this morning where the state prison in Maryland serves inmates with disciplinary problems a "management loaf". It is a very blandloaf made of what is said to be a nutritionally balanced recipe, if not that appetizing. The recipe doesn't look that great (www.npr.orgthen click on Weekend Edition for Saturday, April 6).Would anyone care to venture what would be a totally nutritionally balanced one-dish meal one could eat at least a couple of times a day and get all thevitamins and such? I would plan on supplementing it with snacks of fresh fruit as I do now.Just a challenge I would like to put to myself and to you to come up with something. I would definitely report on my progress.Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 what a funny post! I often joke I could live off peanut butter, but I'm pretty sure I'd get tired of it pretty quickly without anything else. my initial thought on the all-in-one, all-the-time meal was soup. a vegetable soup-- or stew, really, if you throw in a vast variety of veggies like I do-- with pasta and beans, for the carbs and proteins, or baked tofu (you can buy it already baked and seasoned. for my veggie stew, I use the tomato and basil tofu) and brown rice. or a lentil soup with brown rice rice (for complete protein) that has carrots, celery, onions, and tomatoes in it. just my two cents! christy , " Eric " <sseric57@h...> wrote: > I am basically a very boring and even lazier person.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 sandra, reading your post made me think of the granola we make every week (at least)! from one of mollie katzen's cookbooks, I think it's " the enchanted broccoli forrest " - the dry-roasted granola. this stuff is so amazingly good, the only thing I do differently is to leave out the coconut sometimes, and always add cinnamon. it's whole oats, nuts, wheat germ, seeds, and sweetener (I used sucanat). (but to come up with something you could hypothetically eat for every meal, I was thinking of vitamin c, all the phyto-things in veggies, whole grains, proteins, etc. a one-pot meal.) christy , " Sandra Mort " <sandra.mort@o...> wrote: > People kibble, for sure, I would eat that!!!

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 Hmm. Let's put together a list of everything we need to include. Also, I can't see narrowing it down to less than two kinds, since iron and calcium really ought to be eaten separately. Sandra, thinking, thinking. > (but to come up with something you could hypothetically eat for every meal, I > was thinking of vitamin c, all the phyto-things in veggies, whole grains, > proteins, etc. a one-pot meal.) > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
