Toppings for Rice and Potatoes
Posted: Wed Aug 19, 2020 6:21 pm
I am having a terrible time with what to put on top of a baked potato or some cooked rice. All these recipes are fun but on a long day I just want to come home, steam some veggies and microwave a baked potato. BUT I have trouble making myself eat it. I thought I loved carbs. I could eat just a baked potato and be happy. I could eat a bowl of rice and be happy. WRONG! With out butter (or vegan alternative), it does not satisfy at all! They are soooo dry.
What do you put on your rice or your potatoes so that you aren't just eating a mouthful of dry starch?
I have tried salsa, yuck. I tried a little A-1 sauce. Mustard. Nothing has worked. I find myself not feeling satisfied because I don't want to eat the starch because it does not taste good. I plan on making the "cheese sauce" recipes, but I am looking for convenience.
It has been really difficult to realize that I only love my carbs with fat on them. Like goop! I miss goop. Sour cream, butter, avocado, creamed corn, mayo, etc.
Any tips on how to satisfy this craving? I am trying to majorly reduce my salt intake, which is also hindering my desire to eat bland, dry starches.
Thanks in advance to all!
