Quick and Easy Leeknights
Cooking Light, a fantastic magazine for which my father has bought me a subscription for many years, has a section called "Quick and Easy Weeknights." Tonight, I had a quick and easy Leeknight! That's not a medieval knight with onion breath -- it's a quick and easy weeknight brought to you by that fabulous green tailed veggie, the leek!
I chopped up 100 g of the white parts of a leek, put them in 3 oz wine, boiling, with 3 g garlic minced, to simmer. I eventually added 98 g carrots, chopped, 100 g yellow squash, sliced, and 200 g tomatoes, diced. Mixed all up, simmered on high to let the onions sweat and the flavors all blend together. I finally added 360 g eggwhites, cooked and cubed, and about 1/2 cup no-salt organic veggie broth. Simmered, added some spicy pepper and a dash of lemon. 1 teaspoon flax oil added just before serving.
You could do this recipe with chicken, shrimp, scallops, tofu, Quorn, or whatever protein source you prefer. Eggwhites are our standard protein around here, so that's what I used. Be sure to simmer the leeks in the wine for at least 1/2 hour so their flavors are released.
Tomorrow my mother goes into the hospital for a hysterectomy, and I will be staying over with her, so I may be unable to blog for a few days. Please keep us in your prayers, if you have them, or send us some positive energy.

Hello April!
I've been practicing CR for just over a year now and am super curious what MR eats on a daily basis! I spoke with Bob Cavanaugh on the phone and we both agree MR is by far the most thorough and well educated practitioner of this lifestyle probally on the planet! Any info you have on his daily regime would be VERY much appreciated. Thank you kindly.
