Small Frequent Feedings
By Darcy

OK, I’m out of the closet! The truth be known! I’m a real snacker, morning ‘til night. Now, they always say that multiple small meals is the best way to live, and I believe this. I just do it with good stuff that I like. I try not to eat white sugar or flour. A snack for me can be a wedge of smoked Gouda cheese and a handful of cherries, or some peanut butter on a spoon dipped into a bunch of blueberries. Water, Water, Water! Warning: too much water late in the day means I’ll have to get up in the middle of the night more times-- We usually have a dinner of fish or chicken or we order in, and split one main course with one appetizer. I try to work in my greens everyday, and I still take an herbal supplement to keep myself regular. (Very tricky stuff: I basically had to re-teach myself have a bowel movement - but that’s another story...) Anyway, we cook together most nights - I try to prep things early when I have the most energy, then tell my husband what to compose to make the meal. We have it down to a science! We throw together seared scallops and pasta (made with flax flour) a salad, and maybe some grapes. It’s a $15 meal (in a restaurant) done in 30 minutes: at home! My husband always has chips on the plate, I skip that. There are many other ways to get a good “salt lick.” Try some fresh nuts! Salted soy beans, or even some soy sauce in your cooking. It won’t taste like soy sauce, but the flavor will be deeper.
