Lunch Ideas - Creating Balanced Vegetarian Meals

@swathi27 gives me immense satisfaction and happiness to see someone looking into this seriously and trying it.

i will share another healing i had..i had this small acne or growth whatevery it could be called on the side of my neck behind my ear. it has been there for a year, and i keep observing if it changes in color, or size..and i have been juicing celery in the last 2 months..befor that mostly parsley cucumbers and ginger, turmeric and many others fruits and vegetables..
then one day it just trebled in size, and it was so painful, and moving the neck gave pain, and we were having a weekend, and my regular dr was out of station and i wanted to wait for reliable, you know where i stay, i am not comfortable visiting any dr.. so i kept drinking celery and other juices, initially pain reduced so i thought ok let me wait and see if there is going to be some pus or something that comes out when it is ready.. to my surprise within couple of day, it just went off.. where i had a acne like potrusion i now have a scar.. the only thing that was different in the whole process was juicing and adding celery ..

so it is just a way of life. my husband who was skeptical looking at me juicing anything i wish to add.i have been juicing greens even before this juicing bfs... i used to bermuda grass, aloe vera, wheat grass through the week alternatiely..i used to grow them and juice. neem juice once a month..

so juicing is now a fashion but for me it is like a new addition to a healthy lifestyle change.. i pop less pain killers..

this morning it was tumeric, amla and ginger shots, and then celery and apple.. the husband had turmeric, amla and ginger shots, beetroot, carrot and apple juice..

And i am so happy, you did your research too.. i am not advocating juicing, but i am reading up on juicing and hear of people curing autoimmune diseases through juicing alone.. I am not in for a juicing alone diet, i cannot sustain on that as I travel a lot and when i am in india, i am scared to juice much of th greens, and organic costs a bomb.. the only way i do is adapt to what i get in the place, juice, eating loads of vegetables.

 

i am not using it @msm. i have gut issues, that you may be aware from my posts.so i keep it simple. i would not go too far into experimenting if i am not having gluten allergy, ibs or celiac disease.
we had 64 rice varieties of which only a couple of dozen is available.. similary goiogn back to th roots we are venturing into teff, rye, and much more..
teff is more like a version of ragi, right, it is found mostly in the african countries.. it has zero gluten, so i would work on it, just the way i do with ragi..try dosa, the best and easy way is when you are grinding urad batter for your regular idli dosa, take out a couple of ladles of urad batter.. take a ladle of this flour..(whichever maybe), add a little water, make a double, add and mix with urad batter.. when you make dosas and if it does not spread, the quick tip add a ladle of dosa batter.. as you learn the texture, the way this flour handles, you can make your dosas, idlies, bread, porridge without additions..
try it and share..

 

yes until you find how barley works for you..it is a tad sticky, i would mix little millets if i don't want rice.. you can even add some sooji if that works for you.. i prefer little millets, or aval/poha soaked and ground together.. i would have shared roasted barley and coconut muffins somewhere in these pages.. i stopped baking as my guinea pigs are away and i don't like sweet ones at all

 

i have a centrifugal juicer, i have a cold press juicer and in a post some where here i shared the difference of th juices that i have made from each.

don't invest too much until you know you will juice ..because cleaning them, and everything takes time.. the meshes in whichever juicer is a pain..and with the fibre sticking into them i have a hard time cleaning..it takes me solid 1.30 hours excluding soaking time - (the fruits vegges in water and vinegar, or salt mixture) jucing, storing and cleaning.. every 3 days..
