Kicking Cravings

img_0169

Thank you to all those who offered suggestions both on kicking cravings and cold remedies. 

It feels like all I eat these days is soup, but if I pair it with a great salad (like the one above) it feels like a real meal.  I’m dressing my salads with hearty dressings (olive oil, almond butter and garlic), avocado (thanks Steph) and toasted nuts (thanks Breanna), I feel satisfied (getting some good, heart-healthy fats and salts) not deprived.

I am really missing my black tea with milk, but the ginger tea recipe that Meghan  described in yesterday’s comments is a fantastic substitute and it’s like an instant air freshener…just in case I get any visitors.

I am on the mend and plan on making Jen’s soup tomorrow (also from yesterday’s comments).

Grain of the Week: MILLET is a tiny, round grain that can be white, gray, yellow or red. Like barley, it can be pearled and hulled, but it can also be cracked and this is often how it is found in cereals. Millet is a great source of phosphorous and magnesium. Phosphorus plays a roll in virtually every cell in the body. Phosphorus also helps the body to metabolise fats. A cup of cooked millet provides approximately 24.0% of the daily phosphorus needs. Plain, cooked (boiled) millet can be a bit bland--be sure to season your millet well.
