Teppy, were you on an antibiotic recently?
A couple of weeks ago, for a sinus infection. My tongue doesn't *look* thrush-y (it's normal tongue-pink), but it fucking hurts.
Sweet potatoes? I think of them as being less starch and more veg than regular potatoes. Maybe some squash-type stuff, pumpkin soup and the like?
Oh, yum. Sweet potatoes. I forgot about them. I think they straddle the line of veg-starch, because they have tons of vitamins and are less starchy than white potatoes, while still being kind of a starch.
Roughly chop a bunch of kale. Toss with salt, pepper, and garlic. Steam 5-7 minutes, or until just wilted. (This also works great with chard.)
My problem here is that I *love* steamed greens, but I have to have them with red wine vinegar. And that would kill my tongue.
I found a good (and good for you) recipe for colcanon the other day - which is basically mashed potatoes with cabbage in them. If cabbage is okay with you, I can post the recipe.
I'm not a huge cabbage fan. But thank you!
Edamame are probably pretty good for you. Soy is, like, magic or something.
I am an edamame FANATIC. Do they count as veggies, rather than starch? Or as protein?
