As I continue to get my gut back up to speed after the most recent nastiness, I am reviewing my daily food habits for ones I'm willing/able to ditch or modify.

Like legumes - too important to my diet for so many reasons, but amenable to fixes to make them less stressful; and coffee, which is a gut irritant but I'll fight to keep it (plus it does help my messed up liver). 1/?

As my GI tract continues to get back to behaving itself and my appetite begins to return, I'm resorting to this quick-and-dirty congee-thing I often make when feeling out of sorts.

Despite panic attacks over recalcitrant door locks, I managed to get some cooking done. Cool-weather dishes are really my favorites.

LOL time for some food sillines with my favorite clearance-sale plastic peacock plate (from an age when I still ventured inside stores) 😁

A couple of hours and a bunch of chopping and sauteeing and seasoning and simmering later, and we have your basic batch of ratatouille, which will be lovely tonight and even better after sitting in the fridge overnight.

Still life with ratatouille makings: my main project for the afternoon.

The hot weather is not ideal for cooking big pots of whatever, but I managed to knock out another batch of ratatouille without giving myself heatstroke 🤣

Managed to catch a second wind or something thanks to the late evening cool, and got these veggies cooked up to enjoy for the next few days. I like my borscht on the chunky side, and love it cold in hot weather.

Another one of my tomato/cuke salads for hot-weather dining.

Meanwhile on the homefront: another variation on my tomato/cuke salad. One of my favorite early learnings in my food geekery is how different cutting techniques can have major impacts on food texture and even taste.

How now, brown food! Lentils may not be the most visually interesting food out there, but I love 'em for my freeform all-in-one IP concoctions.

The item listed on the grocery website as "daikon radishes" turned out to be red radishes, but I don't mind. I spent a lot of time washing the grit out of their greens (not pictured), and have a cooking experiment going on with them while I nosh these babies. Internet assures me the greens are quite edible, though better cooked - so we'll see!

Cooked up some Mayacoba beans in the IP, with a few drumsticks from a bulk package of chicken legs I repackaged for the freezer (as I did for the chops earlier). And with that, this spoonie is heeding their bod's demands to go take a well-earned break for now.

I do variations on the chopped tomato/cuke/allium salad schema all summer long, varying the ingredients by whim and availability. This one is dressed with a mix of balsamic and cider vinegars, stone ground mustard, minced garlic, and assorted other seasonings. Meanwhile, I've got beans working in the Instant Pot, results to be posted shortly.

As a thrift measure, I buy animal proteins in bulk and then freeze and repackage as individual recipe portions. I froze these chops last night, repacked them today, and they're now back in the freezer.

Meanwhile on the homefront: my queer agenda today is to bushwack the spoonie-fatigue mess in my kitchen, get yesterday's grocery delivery more sorted, and do some basic cooking for today and a few days ahead.

Initial verdict: a little crumbly, and of course it would be nicer if I'd run it under the broiler with a sauce on per the recipe (though that's not happening today because heat), but the flavor is quite acceptable. Nice to add another low-impact spoonie-friendly recipe to my repertoire. It's this one; I subbed cooked lentils for the bread crumbs. thespruceeats.com/instant-pot-

Getting my mojo back via cookery hijinks. It's too hot in my tiny-ass apartment to run the oven, but I'd always wanted to try out one of those IP meatloaf recipes, so here goes nuthin' 😂

I do these all-in-one low-effort legume/animal protein combos in my IP all the time. Eases stress on my budget and my bod, gets fiber into my system, spares me the sodium hit of prepackaged meals. And tastes pretty darn good too.
