Salt and lemon juice on the spinach, salt and a little Parmesan cheese on the broccoli, salt and pepper on the riced cauliflower. I pour it into a two quart Corel serving dish after cooking and eat it all.

Then I wash that and open a can of beans, such as black-eyed peas, garbanzos, black beans, pintos, etc. I pour the beans in the dish, give them a squirt of Sriracha sauce, cover with a paper towel, and heat for two minutes. That makes for a delicious entree. I eat the whole can.

Sometimes I pour some Armour beef pre-cooked frozen meatballs in the dish, pour on a 28 ounce can of Tuttorosso crushed tomatoes, then add a lot of dried basil, parsley, and chives and some salt. I cook this in the microwave oven for the time for the meatballs plus about three minutes.
I think your "recipes" are ingenious! I have some questions about your one-meal-a-day diet. What time do you eat it? Do you have snacks or other things during the day? Do you drink a lot of water to make you not hungry? Your grocery bill must be about $50 a week.
