For years I've made what I call "Bad Mood Stew". It got that name one day when I was trying to make a chicken breast with some rice on the side, and some vegetables.

This is what happened: I grabbed a steak knife and cut that sucker up into small pieces. Then I turned to the rice and dumped it on top of the chicken. I grabbed whatever vegetable I was making, and that went into the pot. Finally, I poured salsa on top of it all! Hot and spicy, just like my mood then.

Now I make it on purpose .

Welcome guihong!

Ok you get the award for "Best Name of an Original Recipe".

I love it. Bad mood stew. Fabulous. I'm betting that the stew would be good with some shredded cheese and diced avocado on top.

Thanks . I don't like either of those, so I stopped without a topping. It works with any veggies you have around (nowadays you can steam a bagful), or any variety of rice. I just play with it.

Breakfast is one of those meals that I could have at any time of the day.

What are some of your favorite breakfast meals?

What about breakfast beverages?

I have fasting tea every morning at breakfast time. I've tried forcing myself to eat early in the day and I just can't.

However, I love breakfast foods and I often have them for lunch and dinner. One of my favorite things to make is slow cooked steel cut oats.

I use steel cuts oats, almond milk + water, cinnamon and nutmeg, chopped apples, and flax and cook them on low in the crock pot for seven hours. It's the best thing ever- the texture is perfect in the middle and the edges get crunchy (make sure you use cooking spray on your crock pot).

Hi Semantics,

We have some fans of steel cut oats here for sure. We had been discussing them earlier in the thread. Its good to see what you all do with the oats. This is a super food packed with high quality carbs, fiber, protein and nutrients. I really cant come up with a better morning grain. Love the addition of Flax!

My crock pot does not need cooking spray and I tend away from that product anyway because it is usually chemical-ized.

Yes the texture is very cool! Usually it takes a few cooking adventures to get the texture right where you want it.

What kind of crock pot do you have?


I agree about cooking spray. I use Winona Pure sunflower oil spray, which doesn't have all the nasty chemicals of Pam, but I still always cover my nose with a kitchen towel when I spray it so I don't breathe it in

I love a Carnation Instant Breakfast pretty early. It's like chocolate milk but I get the sugar free kind.

I've had to change breakfast, as I've found that what I do here can make or break a day. I can't run out of gas in the afternoon. I also find that if I eat too many grains, I get "wheat brain". So I actually prefer fruit and even some of my stew, if leftover . I don't like eggs, but some kind of protein seems to really help.

Try the Steel Cut oatmeal sometime. It has a low glycemic index and great fiber so will keep you running and ward off hunger for hours.

Talking about burritos and fillings-- thinking we may just have this sometime during the week. My favourite is--

carrots (chopped smaller pieces)
yellow onion (chopped smaller pieces)
zuchinni (1/4 pieces (smaller) pieces)
brocolli (smaller pieces, chopped)
black beans, whole, removed fluid
shredded chicken breast/thigh
olive oil
cumin, to taste
salt/pepper
whole wheat/spelt tortillas
grated cheese
favourite salsa

take veggies saute with olive oil, s/p, cumin -- add beans, cook til heated. Add chicken to a flat tortilla, spoon over veggie mixture, add cheese, fold up, add salsa to top and eat. makes some awesome leftovers--

enjoy!!
