Macrobiotic food for the week

Completed:

Sweet veggie tea (Carrots, onions, butternut squash and green cabbage, diced fine and cooked down.) Toss the veggie matter, use the "tea" room temp or hot as something to help sweet cravings, or heat to use with miso or in a soup.

Toasted groats and sweet brown rice as a breakfast grain.

Lundberg's Wild and mixed brown rice for other meals.

Azuki beans with onion and butternut squash cubes.

Still to be made:

Chopped fresh kale.
An almond, basil and tangerine sauce for the kale.
Arame seaweed, carrots and onion sauteed in sesame oil as a condiment.
Baked sweet potato fries.
Temph sauteed in sesame oil (with a drop or two of toasted sesame oil) with pea pods and yellow squash.
Kukicha tea.

I'll pick up a rutabaga and/or turnip this week, to use with carrot and sweet potato to make a beef stew. And some berries or a plum to make a sweet bread or crisp (no, it would not be sweet for most of you) to keep me from the brownie box at the bottom of the stairs!

Oh -- cabin77 is correct, sniffing chocolate extract reduces that craving, at least for us.

And now...I think I will mix some of those grains in pancake batter, and make whole grain gingerbread cakes. After I rest a bit.

The place smells like heaven.

PS -- anyone remember packing the electric kettle? Theories on which box to look for?

UPDATE: Pancakes were thick, chewy and wonderful. I am now tired, so will bottle tea and sautee seaweed tomorrow.
