There’s something comforting about having a few simple staples in the kitchen that can turn into nourishing meals throughout the week.
Steel-cut oats are one of my favorite breakfast staples. They’re hearty, satisfying and easy to enjoy with fresh fruit, cinnamon or other favorite toppings.
And then there are potatoes, peppers and onions. Roasted together, they make a simple and flavorful combination that can be enjoyed on its own or added to so many meals.
I’m thankful for ingredients like these because they remind me that healthy, whole-food meals don’t have to be complicated. Keeping a few versatile staples on hand can make it much easier to put something nourishing on the table.
What simple ingredients do you always like to have in your kitchen?
I started out over a decade ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
