Simple Stuff
The easiest, most doable real food for any day.
Here is a sample of my favourite simple recipes of the season to get you started.
Breakfast Bento Box
2 boiled eggs (look for pastured, local eggs)
1/2 cup mixed berries with 1/2 cup plain yogurt, greek yogurt or dairy free coconut yogurt
Pack together in your favourite food storage container.
How-To: Old-Fashioned Oatmeal 1:1:1
2 servings
1 cup old-fashioned (rolled) oats
1 cup water
1 cup milk or non-dairy milk (or water)
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Pinch of sea salt
Bring the liquids and salt to boil in a small heavy-bottomed pot with a lid. Add oats, cover with the lid and reduce to a simmer for 5-6 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in honey and replace lid to let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with additional milk and favourite toppings.
All Purpose Maple-Curry Glaze or Marinade for Fish & Chicken
An unspicy take on this serious favourite from Yum & Yummer by Greta Podleski. Combine the following. Marinate chicken 2-24 hours or make a half batch and glaze baked fish.
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup grainy Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Roasted Edamame with Sea Salt
2 cups frozen, shelled edamame beans
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp sea salt
Preheat oven to 375F. Toss frozen edamame in the olive oil and sea salt. Spread across a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 40 minutes, stirring halfway. Remove from the oven when golden brown. Enjoy!

I cup pureed pumpkin
1 banana
1/4 cup walnuts
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp turmeric paste
