Cave Chow Menu

Grab your wallet, maybe some shoes, and head to the grocery store.

Here is a basic, but essential list, of some Cave Chow necessities that we’ll be stocking up on today.  Don’t judge – remember, these will all become delicious in due time.

  • Water.  You actually need this to survive, and quite a lot of it, to be healthy.
  • Tea.  A daily dose of medicine that can save you dollars and many doctor visits.
  • Peanuts, Peanut Butter.  Protein rich, sometimes salted, little nuts of sustenance that never taste bad.
  • Whole Wheat.  Bread, pasta, etc.  Delicious, and an a carbalicious necessity to any human.
  • Apples.  Your mother was right – an apple a day, keeps the doctor away.  And everybody hates going to the doc.
  • Bananas.  Stolen from the monkeys by humans, this is a phenomenal thing to put in your body.  Helps with cramps too.
  • Tomatoes, V8 Juice.  One way or another, an absolute necessity, especially after a day in the sun or a hard night out.
  • Mushrooms.  Supposedly delicious, and definitely nutritious bulbs of cancer-fighting madness.
  • Oranges, OJ.  Have to get that critical Vitamin C in the system.  Chug a jug before air travel like you were still in college.
  • Oats.  Our very favorite food item.  Very cheap, very healthy, and can be mixed with just about anything.  Get some!
  • Black Beans.  Canned or fresh, doesn’t really matter.  All you need to know is they need to go down the hatch.  They mix well too.
  • Tofu.  Unbeknown to many, tofu has an impressive range of nutrients for the price.
  • Chicken.  The one expensive item of every Cave Man or Woman’s diet.  You need your meat and this is the best stuff to fuel with.
  • Tuna.  Yes, the kind in a can, that they catch in the ocean.  NECESSITY, even if you’re used to your $11/lb. plates of smoked salmon.
  • Eggs.  Just 12 to a box, but yokes aside, they provide great protein and the choline your body needs.
  • Milk.  Get some!  Disregard the know-it-all scientists – they’ll be wrong again in 10 years and you need your bones strong.
  • Broccoli.  It might or might not save your heart, but it’s certainly green, and it’s always worth a shot.
  • Spinach.  Yea, Popeye, show them how it’s done.  An ironic coincidence that it’s low protein, but high in just about everything else.
  • Carrots.  A delicious night-vision improving addition to any raw cave chowman’s diet.
  • Potatoes.  Sadly, a needed addition to any spend-wise chower.
  • Almonds.  Another pricey but worth it food if you can afford it.   Consider these in the same class as grade 91 gas.
  • Onions.  This super-food has no kryptonite.  Options for a yellow cape vs. a red one doesn’t change it’s cancer-fighting powers
  • Ice Cream.  As unbelievable as it sounds, sometime your body just needs ice-cream.

Spices / Additions

As if these natural, edible items of beauty weren’t enough, there are actually many add-ons for the gourmet diner in us all.

  • Garlic.  Health benefits from even a tiny amount of garlic is quite impressive.
  • Raisins.  Antioxidant providers that never go bad!  (almost never).
  • Peanut Butter.  Protein creme in a can, as beneficial as peanuts themselves if it’s natural.
  • Crushed Red Pepper.  Add this to the now-delicious dish of your choice.
  • Brown Sugar.  Somehow this just goes incredibly well with a bowl of oatmeal.
  • Honey.  Delicious sweetener to anything made out of grain.

Cooking utensils needed:

You can’t cook at maximum efficiency without the right tools.

  • Big pot
  • Big pan
  • Some forks and knives
  • Maybe a “stirrer” – a spoon, or something
  • Your wits about you – cave chow needs to be handled with care
