I had the same problem on the thread I started about trying to change
the foods I want to eat, or basically changing my eating in general. I
hope I didn't come off ungrateful for any of the MANY helpful
suggestions. I'm putting some of them to work tomorrow with a beef stew
with lima beans. I'm leaving out potatoes, and I really like potatoes.
I figure I could add them later if I find the stew is missing them. I'm
going to load it up with veggies. And try thickening it with cornstarch
instead of flour.
