  • Legumes spreads are great as sauces in sandwich or in pasta and also for dips. You can buy premade houmous and adjust the seasoning or cook any legume and blend it with your favorites spices, herbs and condiment. Here is my favorite recipe:
    I blend cooked brown lentils with a bit of dried tomatoe and bell pepper preserved in oil (or just the oil) some onions (sauté), a bit of dried garlic, tomato paste and harissa. Paprika, cumin and a bit of tumeric. All proportions to taste. I make it more runny either buy adding more oil or some water.






  • Yes. I’ve plan of doing sandwiches using houmous and lentils spreads as the sauce. I also want to do muffins, I have a recipe that’s easy for both sweet and savory, that can be packed with any dices or grated fruits and vegetables, and I could make bran muffins as well. For breakfast, I think I will just go for good quality bread, butter and jam. French breakfast is a sweet lunch to north-america standards.

    And fresh fruit in season.


  • I see. I was thinking, maybe I could plan two weeks of meals and rotate them. Then, I would need to change this plan 4 times a year to keep with seasonal ingredients. But I felt overwhelm by the idea of finding so many recipe. But actually, I could do whatever the season :

    • Monday rice
    • Tuesday tradional meal
    • Wesnesday pasta
    • Thursday exotic cuisine
    • Friday potatoes

    It would be easy to narrow traditional recipe to seasonal ingredients now. Wow… It seems so easy now.





  • I think I will go with a bit of both what you said. I really need to plan so I cannot just get into a shop, buy only based on the sales and make a meal out of that. Fortunalty, I’m not that short on money. I just want this change in my cooking habits not to turn into a waste of food or a waste of money.

    I love to have a variety of grains and beans at hand, so I should definitly sort out the one I eat a lot, that I could buy I bulk from the one I eat sometimes that I could buy one sale or exactly on the quantity I for one meal.
