had this great value rice and grain mix and a whole can of chickpeas, cooked it in the Rock for 12 minutes it was barely edib;e, but then I stirred two tablespoons of Knorr chicken broth powder in it, and boy was it amazing. chicken broth: makes rice better. also, the chicken broth was expired. but, the technique of “always stock two” worked out great! I just swapped it out for a new one and the day continued without tragedy! ---

# Oatmeal with cottage cheese This tastes good. I’ve had this a few days this week and I haven’t had any stomach issues that I can tell. Greek yogurt has about twice the protein of oatmeal per cup. * * * A big takeaway from the dietician is dairy products are a good way to get calories quickly. For instance, crackers and cheddar. For both cottage cheese and greek yogurt, there are high sugar options. The choice I went with both has around 6g sugar per 175g. * * * I ate one container of cottage cheese and greek yogurt this week while I was sick and didn’t notice any gastro issues. which is good, * * * May want to freeze cottage cheese / greek yogurt. They’re fairly robust but ---
