Simple Feeding Practices- The Steam Pot!

A couple of weeks ago, the local grocery store, "MB," had this crazy sale on live lobsters- $5.99 a pound, so I just couldn't leave the store without one- plus a bag of mussels, and corn and linguica (portuguese sausage) to go with it. And went home to make an indoor clambake:

And I got to thinking, this is an easy way to make a whole entire clean, healthy meal without slaving away in the kitchen- put everything in a pot with an inch of water and steam it for 10 minutes or so. This is what I put into todays pot:
1 chorizo sausage (use some sort of meat item)
some baby red potatoes (for starch) cut in half
some carrots cut up in big chunks (veggies)
corn on the cob snapped in halfs (more veggies/starch)
Other veggies that would work:
Green beans
mustard greens
broccoli/cauliflower
any root vegetables
You cover the pot for about 8 minutes, and poke things with a fork to check how done things are. The corn is ready first, then the rest are ready in about 5 more minutes. The items are easy to take out with tongs.

Everything is cooked, but still bright, tender, and crunchy, and the sausage or meat product flavors the steaming water to make the veggies taste a little better. After you pull them out, you can salt and butter them to your taste.

And I had more than enough food for two people- YUM!
