Second food entry of the day! Maybe this is becoming that food blog that Hesi told me I should make?

Anyway, here’s another easy cave-friendly recipe. Heat up a pan with a little bit of water in the bottom. Not too much water, maybe half a cup. In the meantime, cut up some sausages. These ones are mild Italian from the butcher’s. Make sure they don’t use any filler like bread crumbs or flour. Good quality sausages are all meat and spices. Cut up some veggies too. I put sweet red peppers, green and yellow zuchinni, and cauliflower. You can use whatever you’ve got in the fridge. Onions are good too. Broccoli also works.

By now, the water should be boiling away in the pan. Throw in all the ingredients and stir them around. Let them simmer and sautee until the sausage is cooked all the way through, and the veggies are tender. It takes about 10-12 minutes. Stir in some fresh ground black pepper to taste, and cut up some fresh basil into the mix if you’ve got any. Remove from heat and serve. Enjoy!

Ok, so people often ask me what I have for breakfast, because they think the caveman diet is too much work. Here’s something easy that I have almost every day, and I never get bored of it. In fact, I make this so much that I actually wore out my old Braun hand blender and had to buy a new one. I got the Betty Crocker (don’t laugh) hand blender from Walmart. It is ridiculously powerful, and came with a clear beaker with measurement marks on the side for blending things in. At less than $15, there’s no excuse not to get one!

Here’s how to make the shake. In the beaker, add:

• Frozen berries (President’s Choice or Europe’s Best or whatever 4-berry mix you can find) up to the 200mL mark
• A handful of raw unsalted almonds
• Two tablespoons of plain yogurt (I recommend Astro Original 2% because it has all natural ingredients and whey protein)
• A tablespoon of ground flax seed (optional but highly recommended)
• Fill to the 350mL mark with unsweetened fruit juice (I recommend President’s Choice or Oasis blueberry/pomegrante juice with no sugar added)
• Fill to the 500mL mark with 1% or 2% milk

Blend! Enjoy.

This breakfast drink takes me about 5 minutes total to make and clean up afterwards. It energizes me almost instantly and keeps me going until lunchtime. Give it a try for a week and see what it does for you.

Today’s lunch was omelet with that classic combo of smoked salmon, red onion and capers. Yum.
