Hi @cdpm. That sounds scrumptious and just the nourishing food you need while your gums are healing. I hardly make anything savoury without adding onion, leek or garlic, sometimes all three.

Yes, it's not easy.

Does your family make broth from meat or fish bones? Home-made soups and stews are inexpensive to put together and would add variety.

We haven't tried to make broth homemade yet
I just made a white bean soup but I haven't tasted it yet. It only called for a can of tomatos and cumin and chili powder and salsa sauce and the white beans.

 

[cdpm]

2 sweet potatoes with margarine.
A purple one and a brown one and they didn't taste any different from each other. The purple one was orange inside but the brown one white inside.

Smoothie made with ice cubes and a banana and a cup of plant milk and some pb.
A tiny bitter but I don't like honey that it called for. I didn't know what to put in it. Sweeteners are gross.

2 cups cottage cheese
2 boiled potatoes

Hi @cdpm. I hope you enjoy the end result. Sounds tasty.
Soups based on home-made broths using meat bones or fish bones are inexpensive and nourishing.
Culinary herbs like rosemary, sage and thyme are easy to grow and add nutrients as well as variety.

Unfortunately @cdpm, margarine is heavily processed from vegetable seed oils and contains varying levels of trans fats, which are harmful to human health.

As you know, fats play an important role in the control of blood glucose, but if you cook with butter and olive oil, you won't go far wrong.
