Berry berry

When I find something I like, I can be quite supportive of it.

I’ve discovered that I have 14 bags of Europe’s Best frozen berries in my freezer. I buy three bags every time I go to No Frills, because they sell them for $3.99. Most other places are selling them for $7 or even $8 per bag. I know I can use them up, because I have a cave shake every morning. I feel rich whenever I open my freezer.

p.s. A great addition to the cave shake is a tablespoon of coconut cream. Use coconut cream and not coconut milk, which is too thin.

Sausage stir fry

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!

Cave lunch

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