Simple Base

My basic/simple base that I have been using for all of my meals is:

Cabbage - Approx. 1/2 cup
Celery - 1 to 2 stalks (Depending how hungry I feel)
Mushrooms - 1-2 (Depending on size)
Cauliflower - Approx. 1/2 cup
Jalapeño Pepper - 1
Serrano Pepper - 1

Protein

I use some or all of these in every meal, depending on my frequency to the store.  

The Celery is used to builk up the meal, when I am super hungry and want to bulk up the amount of food... Yet in the same breath, I'm working on cutting the portion size down.
