I feel best if I have at least one high fiber meal a day. After years of
cooking these I am getting tired of most of my recipes - bean burrito,
beans & shanks or smoked turkey, lentils & sausage, casseroles, meatballs,
etc. with whole wheat pasta, hot dogs & beans, etc.

Any _simple_ recipes off the beaten track? Maybe something besides legumes
or whole wheat pasta? I live alone but like large recipes with leftovers

TIA for your assistance and suggestions.

How about a big salad? Oatmeal? Baked potato? Fruit?

Toss in some fiber powder to a low fiber recipe you like?

I didn't realize salad was high fiber. I suppose it all depends on what
you put in it. I'll have to research the possibilities. Same with baked
potato and oatmeal. I already eat fruit twice a day usually.

Thanks.

I do that once in a while. I should do it much more often. It doesn't
seem to affect the taste or texture that I can tell.

I haven't had kasha for decades. I'll have to try it again.

I was looking at a cannister of water-soluable fiber powder. I was
surprised to see it said "great for cooking" on the package. It had
never occurred to me.

Try a tablespoon of Metamucil..aka psylium hulls in a glass of water each day. No need to try to eat the stuff in the food. That tip come from a famous gastrointestinal doctor. I forget his name right now.

I used to make goldenflaxseedmeal (ground golden flaxseed) muffins with
nuts and 100 times more cinnamon than you would normally put in a muffin
(to overcome the flax effect.) They were extremely filling and the fiber
effect was surreal :-)

The protein bars from Atkins or Special K are also quite amazing-works
better if you keep on eating them. One offs wont be as noticeable.

Throw some raw potato in there. Potato sticks in you salad.

I've done that for decades. I like to get some additional fiber too. I'm
crazy, but harmless.
