What did you put in your 'yik' creation? Just curious--it sounds pretty yik. Was it just green beans and rice? Any herbs? I like to puree fresh green beans with fresh spinach and dill. If I'm feeling good I'll add a tiny bit of shallot, but onion/garlic powder is kind of nice if you can tolerate it. Adding some acidity is really delicious, i.e. lemon/vinegar (I favour rice vinegar or balsalmic). I'll whip up a dressing/vinaigrette to compliment the puree or give it an ethnic twist. Sometimes, just sea salt is all I'm in the mood for. Green bean/zucchini plus herbs is pretty good, too. Don't laugh, but I'll eat it as a 'salad' even though it's in pureed form. It's really good with mushrooms or fennel bulb (don't puree the mushrooms, though--you'll be grossed out forever!)
I think, though, you'd enjoy spinach/zucchini more, with fresh basil. If you like that 'creamed' effect, try adding some rice milk.
LOL! Calorie counting does make you nuts-oh! I know what you mean about gum--it takes away my nausea and gets my gastric juices flowing. I'm on a cinnamon altoid kick.
Congratulations and continued encouragement for focussing on doing WHAT'S RIGHT for YOU and surrendering.
Kate.
