Derek's Simple Recipes

Derek, from the YouTube channel Well Your World, recently did a video entitled What I Eat In A Day. Being a successful McDougaller, you know whatever he makes is within the good doctor's guidelines.



In it he does 3 different starch-based meals that are quick and easy to make.

The Breakfast Potatoes used russets that he cooked overnight in the Instant Pot (but you can use them straight from the refrigerator, too), a bell pepper, and a diced onion. That's it!

Lunch was something he called Starch Blaster, made with 2 different types of lentils and a slew of other starches, like rice, even pasta. He also used those dehydrated mixed veggies. I usually keep those on hand during the winter to make soups and stews (Jeff Novick does, too, year round) and I'm always looking for more uses for them, they're so cheap and convenient. This stew concoction looks like it'll fill the bill nicely.

The last recipe is still starch based but is a bit heavier on veggies. He did this purposely because he was so starch heavy for the other 2 meals. He sautes up a bunch of various non-starchy veggies (onion, cauliflower, zucchini, celery, zucchini, and what looks like enoki mushrooms and tiny eggplants he got at the Asian grocery store). Make a batch of rice, a big batch of a nutritional yeast cheese sauce, mixes them all together and tosses them in a casserole dish and bakes it.

Looks like I have a few new simple recipes to try in the near future!
