Keeping It Fresh
MR and I have been together for over a year now, and living together since late July. We have no problem keeping our relationship fresh, and we work hard at showing how much we love and appreciate each other. I still see him as my CR super star, sorta like a rock star idol, even though I go to sleep next to him every night. I love the fact that I live with a guy I have a major crush on. So I don't worry that our relationship will go stale or boring. But I do worry that I'll run out of exciting new ideas on what to cook for dinner.
Tonight is one of those nights when I was worried that my genius might have run out. I stared into the fridge, waiting for inspiration to strike, wondering if I should hang it up and feed MR my quotidian diet times three.
Then inspiration struck. Curried Cream of Cruicifer:
40 cals (half cup) canned pumpkin
120 g cauliflower
151 g broccoli
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
curry and garlic powder
49 g red pepper
180 calories Quorn tenders or alternate protein source
1 teaspoon flax oil
Dice all veggies. Bring broth to a boil and add veggies, stirring until lightly steamed. Add Quorn or alternate protein source, season with curry and garlic to taste. Add half salt if necessary. Stir in red pepper. Remove from heat and add yogurt and flax oil. Re-season if need be. Serve hot!
MR loved it. My genius has not faded away. Long live the curried cream of crucifer!
