My new "supermeal"

Onion man is back, but with spinach added. Here's my meal 5 (out of
6):drink: 1 glass grapefruit juice (8 oz). meal - 1 onion
(fist-sized) added to 4 oz spinach added to 8 oz Acme brand Fiesta
blend veggie mix (high in beans) added to 1 cup Cento brand pasta
sauce. How? First I cook the spinach for 3 minutes in the micro. Then
I cook the veggie mix with the pasta sauce - 9 minutes micro - stir
once. Meanwhile I cook the onion - saute with Pam. So what's so
"super" about my "supermeal?" It combines many superfoods in sizable
quantities - spinach, beans, tomatoes. It includes superfood
honarable mentions - onions and garlic (powder). In one meal I get
more than enough veggies for the whole day; and around 30 g of fiber.
The onion is continuing to give me vivid dreams and clearer sinuses.
I've had this meal for six days now - and it's reasonably tasty, and,
of course, very filling. Of course, any romance has to occur before
this onion meal!

Hope you have a hood vent on the stove! Just an aside, my
nutritionist told me that nuking veggies strips *most* of the anti-
oxidents from them. I have not independently verified this, but just
thought I'd pass it on. She said steaming them is the best way.

Garlic powder??? You've got all those fresh ingredients and you used powder?
Use fresh garlic! Also, try adding fresh basil leaves, stirred in at the
last minute, or fresh cilantro. And, add strips of red bell pepper, there's
more Vitamin C in those babies than nearly everything else.

And, if you add strips of lean beef or chicken, there's a meal!!!

cooked garlic. I will try basil leaves - thks!

Garlic is garlic Brad, breath-wise. As you cook fresh it becomes sweeter
and sweeter. Powder is just not as good.

You're cooking it, it will mellow out. Garlic powder has nothing in it;
fresh garlic is a superfood. Separate the cloves from the head. Smash them
with the flat part of your knife (always, always, always use a very sharp
knife). The peel will slip away easily. Then you can chop the cloves into
tiny pieces. Stir-fry them quickly and at high heat, or they will burn and
taste terrible.
Also, add black pepper and a little salt (just a little, it helps with the
taste).

There you have it, you're a cook. : )

Cooking involves layering of tastes, the veggies, different seasonings,
liquids, etc. You can experiment and try different things, and hey, you
might want to invest in a decent cookbook, such as Joy of Cooking.

Another way to make incredibly tasty garlic is to bake a whole head of
garlic on a cookie sheet for 45 minutes to 1 hour at 350 degrees. Squeeze
the cloves out of the head. They will be as mellow and creamy as butter,
seriously. Eat on veggies such as artichokes or french bread.

And don't forget that roast whole garlic is also delicious and
nutritious.

There is an old folk tale about warding off death. Eat lots of garlic
and when the Angel of Death visits, open your mouth wide and say "Hello
Angel of Death". The garlic breath will drive it away.

Martha,

OK, you sold me. I do believe garlic is a "superfood." I just hope my
wife doesn't divorce me! She cleans up. I'll report back - I'm
buying the garlic today. Thanks!

DH hates the smell of garlic so much that it's not worth the grief for me to
even try to use it except when he's out of town.
