IP Recipes
 

Hi everyone,
I've been on ideal protein for 13 weeks, and am down 33 lbs so far. I've been posting some recipes here--feel free to enjoy!

Ideas include a rhubarb "apple"sauce, cinnamon chicken, and other things. I try to post one recipe a week at least. Hope some of these are helpful!

They look like great recipes! You and I have lost about the same amount of weight. Don't you feel great? I do!

I agree, there are some good ones I'd like to try. Kicking up a chocolate shake with some red pepper sounds really good for today.

Thanks for sharing! I just spent some time there and it was great. I especially like your prep for the week ideas. I try but usually don't do too well with that. I tend to "wing it" but it is difficult at times, especially when the kids and I are running late for school and work.

Thanks for the great site!
On the cabbage rolls, would Garam Masala work? It seems to be made of most of the spices you mentioned.
Also, what flavored boullion cubes did you mean? I'm assuming beef...

Great Blog!! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Debra, for the great ideas. I am putting ancho chili and jicama on my shopping list for today! Thank you for sharing.

I'm so glad you are all enjoying the recipes. I'm having a great time focusing my energy on new recipes and sharing them--it's very cathartic for me. I am feeling great on IP--I'm at my lowest weight in about 15 years, and I am still 45 lbs from my goal!

I'll keep posting new recipes and tips each week on the blog--if you all want I can put a note here when I do. I just posted a recipe for homemade sugar-free ketchup.

For the stuffed cabbage: Garam masala--I love that spice blend, and I think it could work. I used chicken bouillon cubes but beef are fine too. Let me know how it goes for you!

There are already recipe threads and I think it would be a good idea to keep everything together.

Lots of info for newcomers is available at the top of the forum in the stickies and also on the daily thread..very first post, every day.

May I suggest re-posting on the recipe thread, just to keep everything together and then closing this thread?

Here is a link to the current recipe thread:Ideal Protein Diet Recipes #3

Love it! Going to bookmark. Thanks, and congrats on your success!!

Debra, it would be great if you posted a reminder her too! The recipes are great!!! I appreciate all of the work that you did and your willingness to share!!!
I am a great cook but just haven't been in the mood for a while now but following recipes helps me out!

Thanks! I did as suggested and reposted in the recipes section.

thank you, i wouldn't have found this lost in the huge recipe threads

oh, oh, oh, oh oh! :) I love chocolate with chile peppers! I was wondering if it would work in a shake (I used to do hot chocolate with chipotle pepper). Thank you so much for having a recipe like that and sharing it. Can't wait to try it.

Debra, thanks for posting the link to your blog! I will be bookmarking that for sure, and can't wait to try some of your recipes. I enjoyed reading your blog--looks like we are on parallel tracks--same weight loss goal and I agree with your choices for favorite IP foods! I too tend to like the sweet packets and look at them as sort of an "extra" treat instead of part of the meal.
Best of luck for the rest of your journey! Looks like you are doing great!

It's so good in the chocolate shake!! Let me know what you think.

I'll be trying it this week, so I'll let you know. I loved your peppermint pattie one too! :) Thanks again for letting us know about your blog.

Thank you for sharing, Debra!

Looks delicious! And combining the chocolate drink with chile is brilliant. Can't wait to try it!

I love seeing new recipes...thanks for posting!! I added it to my favorites :)

Thank you so much! That means so much coming from you--I see that you are truly the recipe maven. You are such an inspiration!!

Debrasb!! Can't wait to try your Indian Spiced Chicken with Garam Masala recipe!! I love Garam Masala chicken and it's always fun to try other peoples variations on it.

Oh, thank you! Still reading it but they look great! Like all the spices!

New recipe today--trying to get out of my funk (or maybe I'm just procrastinating).

Thai Style Flank Steak Salad -- IP Style, of course. Enjoy!

www.unlimitedlettuce.com

This sounds great!

Let me know if you make it and if you like it! It's starting to become a Sunday night tradition -- my boys love it, and of course...it's not chicken!!

BTW--you are doing so great on your progress. Congrats!!

Nice blog! Can't wait to try some of your recipes. Thai flank steak looks great!

New recipe today--Curried Cauliflower Soup. Perfect for a cold winter day (which we are obviously having here). Super easy.

Enjoy!

Debrasb..hope you don't mind but I looked at your link and found many things to try. Is this your personal blog?

Of course I don't mind--that's what it's there for. It is my personal blog, yes. I wanted to have a creative outlet while on IP, so I put this together. I am finding that I'm mostly posting recipes and not so much updates on how things are going, but I really like having all of the recipes in one place and sharing them.

I see from your other posts you are not into cooking, but maybe you'll see something you like!

Thanks. I just bought an Actifry yesterday and a lot of your chicken dishes I can just pop in there and I'm done. I really liked reading your tips. I will start this weekend with dividing everything up in bags and chopping up the veggies. Maybe that will help. Thanks again....

Today's recipe: Cauliflower "Hummus" Dip -- perfect for parties (or lunch!). Hope you like it!

You are amazing! I just read your unlimited lettuce blog from start to finish and we are in the exact same boat. I have a 3 yr old boy and a 1 yr old girl who obviously won't be doing IP with my husband and I. I am 200 lbs (sheepish) and I want to lose 50. I am dong an alternative plan starting in Wednesday so I am trying to get recipes/game plan etc together. I am scared about the planning, prep time and water intake. Thanks for sharing your recipes.

Thanks so much for your nice post!! You can totally do it. My kids eat what we eat (other than the packets of course) and they don't miss bread or crackers or junk. The first week or two were big adjustments in terms of getting life organized, and I wasn't sure I could do it, but once I got a groove it's going really well. Hang in there, stay on this forum and you will see results!!

My latest obsession: Massaged Kale Salad. It tastes exactly like tabbouleh, which I love, but it's got the superfood power of the amazing kale. We are literally fighting over who gets to take the leftovers for lunch.
