You should look into bulgur, the parched wheat that comes originally from the middle east …. they make tabooli salad of it and it can be used as a lovely breakfast cereal, or to stuff vegetables, and make casseroles
The same for kasha which is toasted buckwheat …. used for blini(little pancakes raised with yeast and served with toppings… my favorite is sour cream and a spoonful of molasses ….. it is nice served at the same time as rice …
both of these grains taste and smell wonderful … very wholesome and very peace-making
also look into Seitan or gluten of wheat …. if you live near a Chinese store, you can buy it ready made in Asian toasted sesame oil ….. it is nice done with scallions or onions and snow peas, and served over steamed rice
Also, you might enjoy green soy beans which are called "Edamame" by the Japanese … you can get them frozen in the supermarket ….(Chinese call them "Mao Dou") … very high in protein, easy to eat and digest, terrific food … would make a good dip …. as well as heated up and served with butter and maybe a salad and a toasted cheese sandwich
also, if you like Indian food, there is a really nice website with beautiful pictures showing how to cook the recipes posted; it is Saffron Hut …. all veg. food …..
Basmati rice (Indian) is delicious, as is Jasmine rice …
Don’t forget avocadoes which are delicious with plain tortilla chips … and a Pepsi!!
Do you like guava paste? It is sold in the Spanish stores and is served with queso blanco (spelling?) which means in Spanish: white cheese …. and also goes with Spanish galetaswhich are big round plain crackers…
You might like Bircher Museli … it is a Swiss breakfast cereal… you can find it on the net….type in "Information About Switzerland" and when their opening page comes up, click on the square that says "Culture" and you will find an authentic recipe there for Bircher Museli along with its history ….
If they still have chestnuts in the green grocers or supermarket near you, buy a half pound of them, put them into a paper bag and leaave them on top of a warm radiator for about an hour or so to roast …. crack them open and eat them right from the shell the way you get them from vendors on the street … (or if the oven is on, use that for about 20 minutes, but prick a little hole in them first for the steam to escape)
