Here's an update:
Now that I'm stable, I'm trying to increase my fruits and veggies to 5 servings a day. It's not easy because 1) I don't have the strength to do more than heat things up due to a disability, and 2) I am allergic to or have an intolerance for a gazillion things.
So I'm starting a list of easy fruits and veggies for non-cooks, with notes on common substitutions for people without my allergies.
I'm going to keep this post going as a note to myself. Feel free to add on.
Fruits:
Pineapple Juice
Canned Pineapple
Fresh pineapple in small quantities (acid)
Citrus:
Low acid orange juice
Half grapefruit with sugar to cut the acid
canned mandarin oranges
Berries:
Strawberries, fresh and frozen
Blueberries, fresh and frozen
Raspberries, fresh in season
Craisins (dried cranberries) or raisins.
Veggies:
Potatoes (baked in microwave)
Sweet Potatoes (ditto)
Carrots (boiled)
Beets (canned)
Soups:
Borscht (Manischewitz bottled beet soup -- heavenly with boiled potato cut up into it)
Potato Soup (homemade)
Vegetable Soup (Campbells Healthy Request)
Green Pea Soup (Campbells)
Green Veggies:
Green Peas (frozen)
Green Beans (fresh or frozen)
Broccoli (florets only, small quantities)
Asparagus (well done, just the tips)
Lima Beans (frozen)
Bottled Tomato Sauce (over pasta, add sugar to cut acid)
Sundried Tomatoes
Roasted Peppers
Lettuce and Tomato on sandwiches
Small Green Salads
