I agree with rhoswen!

I love plain boiled broccoli! (and roasted broccoli) I am less likely to steam it because, for some reason, I always end up overcooking it.

@rumagogo, I totally agree!

I'm agreeing with Bobette on the rice. It's really the only way to store rice if you cook it beforehand. It dries out terrible in the fridge, and only tastes decently if you steam it. Frozen rice, however, pops into the microwave nicely.

yes! I hate wheat flour, but I love my spelt flour. So much so that I'll order 25 lbs of it from a mill (makes it more affordable per pound) and store it in my freezer.

my mom always cooks eggs separately. she doesn't make scrambled eggs per se. she lets them firm up before she cuts them up with a spatula and mix.

That was me earlier this month - dental surgery. I ate a lot of Chinese rice congee (jook) made with meat. It was one of the few things that made me feel full. I did a lot of pureed veggie soups too, but only helped with the hungry feeling for very short periods of time. For breakfast, I did a lot of avocado/banana smoothies, banana/peanut butter smoothies, and sometimes smoothies with soaked cashews. I also tended to blend in some baby spinach. I drink half a smoothie before I went to work, and drank the other half during the mid morning. It would just keep me functioning into lunch. I have to say that without roughage, it's hard to feel satisfied.

too bad I'm allergic to mung beans.

I think you need a longer rise (depending on how warm/cool your place is). I make a bread that's half bread flour and spelt flour. My first rise is always about an hour.

Yup, another small kitchen here. That and I share a fridge with a roommate, so I'd feel like a jerk if I used up all the space for my food.

And to rosebud's comment, I very often don't get home until 7pm or later on weekdays. If I don't plan well, I may very well be short on veggies come dinner time.
