Drink your greens

scurvy is bad.

2 handfuls of any of these: spinach, kale,swiss chard, if you are in the mood for tart use sorrel,etc...
Add 1\2 cup milk or milk sub.
And 1\2 cup sweet juice like orange or apple
Then chop up an apple.
Blend all
You can also add ginger chopped into the greens 

Dill rice

  1. Cook 1 cup rice in a tb of butter until edges of rice go translucent. May add 1\4 chopped onion while sautéing
  2. Cook as normal.For me this means add 1 tsp salt and add to two cups of water in the rice cooker or cover with same on the stove top at medium heat
  3. When rice is done add 3tb tb dill chopped fine and stir to fluff.

Strawberry or other fruit milkshake

This is what I do for breakfast when I don't want food or I want as can't have a milkshake. Its cold and sweet and portable.

10 oz milk and 1/2 cup frozen fruit of choice
1 tb vanilla
Insert blender. Blend til smooth.
Pour
 Stir in 1-2 tb sugar  or maple syrup and/or chia if desired. Chia makes it a better breakfast.

buttered cabbage

Its spring or fall or winter and you have a cabbage staring at you from the back of the fridge as you eat mushrooms or if you aren't me potatoes and sausage. That cabbage can be tasty and healthy-ish in under 15 minutes. First  remove funky outer leaves and throw in compost/trash. Slice it in half. Then slice in thin ribbons. Toss these in a skillet with 1\2 chopped onion 1 tb caraway and 2 tb butter. Sauté until bright green. Serve. Wrap the other half head for later.

These are bribes for small children to eat veggies and I have fed them to no less than five of the kids I used to watch. My mother used them on me also.

Preheat oven to 350 . Take one bag peeled carrots or 1 lb carrots peeled and cut into 1/4 ths and cut into chunks . Add 1\2 cup orange juice ( frozen and canned it recommended)and 1\4 tsp cinnamon, add one tb of bake 30 min until carrots are fork tender. You could drizzle with honey or not...they will still be gobbled up
