Forgot to mention this earlier...

I've been getting these Minute Ready-to-Serve rice packs; they're rice perfection! Individual bowls....one minute in the microwave.

I've had the brown and the brown & wild (

). I'll get that multi-grain medley if I can ever find it around here!!!!

I mostly use it as a filler to add to soup, beans, peppers, etc... It also helps me to get my whole grains in.

We've been making some radical changes as a family, for the better! Stacy and our youngest daughter, Sarah, have switched to a vegetarian diet, and I am doing really well on a pescetarian diet (fish & seafood). We ate meat at every meal pretty much prior to this, so HUGE change. Jake, our 17yo still eats meat, but not really any red meat any more, just lean chicken breast and fish mostly. We all gave up dairy milk because we fell in love with almond milk.
Stacy and I do smoothies for breakfast, and sometimes lunch. A typical smoothie for me, for example, is about 1.5 cups chocolate almond milk, a large banana, ground flax seed, about 1/2 cup aloe vera juice, a handful of blueberries, and a scoop of Amazing Grass SuperFood powder (http://amazinggrass.com/product/68/O...-servings.html). We swear by the Amazing Grass - one scoop gives you more fruits and veggies than most of us normally consume in a day, plus it's full of vitamins and minerals - and I find that it curbs my appetite (maybe because my body is getting what it needs) and gives me energy. Yes, it's a little spendy, about $70/100 servings, but if you look at how much less crap you're eating in place of it, you'd probably come out ahead!
Another thing we LOVE, and eat a lot of are the Morningstar brand of veggie burgers, lots of yummy flavors like mushroom lovers, prime grillers, tomato and basil, etc. Boca brand is also good! We put them on a whole wheat pita with hummus, spinach, portabella mushroom slices, and a little fresh grated cheese. They are SO good!!
