Bland Fare
My wife has suffered from her first, and hopefully only, gastritis for
about two weeks. It's getting better and almost gone now. So I have
cooked really bland food. This is typical.
I cook up a bunch of white rice and put it in the fridge.
I cut up, butter and salt a broccoli crown in Corningware and nuke it
until nearly done, ziplock it and put it in the fridge.
I salt and put a boneless side of chicken breast in a pan and bake it
at 375F for 50 minutes then let it cool. I cut it into bite sized
pieces and put it in the fridge.
When it's time to cook the meal, I put about a half cup of water and
three tablespoons of margarine in a small pan, add a couple of scoops
of precooked rice the chicken and broccoli and heat it all up.
I sometimes substitute big shrimp that I already cooked for the chicken.
These aren't bad meals, but they lack oomph. No pepper or any other
seasonings are used. Just salt.
I haven't eaten this much broccoli in years. I'm thinking of getting
wild and substituting cauliflower, but then, there'd be no color.
It's almost over. She just needs to regain some confidence. Apparently,
gastritis is painful. Knock on wood, I won't find out.
