I usually put a half teaspoon of oo in the frying pan and then put whatever I'm cooking in there. (the whatever you call it dish)

But my second ingredient is always a bit of pressed fresh garlic. Of course, my house now smells like a garlic shop, but everything seems to taste better.

I do garlic, mushrooms, and red peppers, diced small and seasoned with sea salt and black pepper and put those in the leek soup. Yum.

I do garlic, broccoli, red peppers, same as above, and put that in the broc cheese soup.

And yes, weigh before cooking.

Speaking like a long-time IPer, but it's only been 7 days for me.... :)

Best of luck to all!

WELL TODAY WAS DAY 3. JUST DRANK MY SHAKE AND READY FOR BED, MAYBE BY FRIDAY I WONT BE SO HUNGRY. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A GRAZER SO THIS WILL TAKE SOME ADJUSTING. BUT MY FRIEND HAS HAD GREAT SUCCESS SO I AM HOPING I WILL TOO. TIME FOR BED, BUT HAVING TO STAY UP AND WORK, THOSE ARE THE DANGEROUS TIMES!:(

As raw onions do not agree with me I usually "boil" them in the frying pan with enough water they soften, but don't get brown. This should work for your recipe.

Cooking the onions is what changes their makeup not just carmelizing them. There is a very good explanation by JoesHotWife located here:

There is a difference between frying and sautéing. Sautéing is fine, just don't deep fry.
