Shopping with Princess Know It All

I can honestly say that I NEVER used to shop mainly in the produce and bulk food sections of a supermarket! In fact, I was totally intimidated by so many veggies. I thought cooking fresh veggies was too complicated!

Actually, veggies are cake to cook. Usually I wash them off, peel some of them ,some not, slice them and add them to a pot with a touch of water and a splash of salt. Now that my taste buds are free of sugar and processed food coating, I’m actually able to taste the flavor of each veggie!

How I ever only ate white flour pasta and white rice is totally a trip! Now when I taste those things I see how bland they are. Brown rice, barley, millet, lentil and beans are naturally loaded with flavor and my FAVORITE pasta is organic QUINOA (an ancient Peruvian grain).
Remember to soak your grains and beans..it’s not a big deal in fact it helps me with my meal planning. Before I turn of the kitchen light at night I take a look at what I want to soak and pour them in a bowl with water adding 4-6 inches of Kombu (seaweed used to break down the hard to digest gases).

Be brave. Buy something new, email me, and I will give you ideas on how to prepare it. Once you start branching out with your food the journey is on! Oh, and if you’re broke and on food stamps NO WORRIES ’cause Whole Foods and the Turnip Truck take ‘em! Again, it’s all about quality and quantity…bulk grains and legumes go a long way.
