  • Thanks, Cyndi! I was afraid it would disappear. I'll try double the amount and see what happens.
  • This ultra low fat thing is quite a challenge, especially while also being diabetic friendly and vegetarian. So far it's been a whole lot of recipes using "beef" or sausage crumbles because Gimme Lean is very low fat. Tonight I branched out.

    We had: Mexican scrambled tofu with light silken tofu (and no cheese!), sauteed broccoli rabe, and mock cornbread. Full, happy tummies here
  • no food shopping for me so I had breakfast for dinner: 1 egg, 2 turkey sausage and 2 Kashi waffles.
  • Wanted to post in the on plan thread but its not running in synch with the calendar week. Meals for this week are old favorites: Greek salad with chicken, chicken spinach & zucchini casserole, mexican slop, meatball casserole & spaghetti squash, chicken & chickpeas with cauliflower.

    I meant to whip up some egg muffins for breakfasts and broccoli & cheese soup for lunches, but never got around to it tonight, whoops. I think I'll make those tomorrow along with some pork pesto patties for lunches as well.
  • Dinner will be grilled cheese and tomato soup!
  • Ethiopian Spiced Pumpkin Bisque with buttercup instead of pumpkin, sauteed turnips or turnip fries and veggie burgers

    Jenn - my DD's favorite dinner was grilled cheese and tomato soup when she was young. bet she never thinks of it now
  • I've been eating out, or eating leftovers, so I haven't been posting. Tonight: sweet potato and broccoli, side salad.
  • Asian Salmon
    Twice Baked Cauliflower - going to modify this one a bit so it's not so high in fat
    Asian Salad

    (Can you tell what website I spent a lot of time on today )
  • Let us know how that cauliflower is. I bookmarked the recipe to try once we can have more fat again.

    Scrambled tofu is my new favorite quick dinner. Tonight I added lots of spinach, red peppers & mushrooms with squash home fries on the side.
  • Last night was lazy. I got busy late in the day then rushed a dinner. We had mashed cauliflower (from frozen), steamed Brussels sprouts, and veggie burgers
  • Quote: Let us know how that cauliflower is. I bookmarked the recipe to try once we can have more fat again.
    The cauliflower recipe was really good. I'll definitely be making it again

    Tonight's dinner:
    Parmesan Chicken
    Grilled Asparagus with Parmesan
    Brown Rice with some sort of seasoning (not sure on this one yet)
  • Pesto pork patties stuffed with cheese (from the SBD cookbook) topped with sauteed zucchini.
  • balsamic roasted Brussels sprouts and veggie burgers tonight.

    Tomorrow is a baby lima bean vegetarian cassoulet in the crockpot, grilled Greek cheese, and sauteed greens.

    Sunday is our normal fat T-Day dinner - tofurky with roasted veggies, mashed cauliflower, cranberry salsa, mock cornbread, nsa pumpkin cheesecake with nut crust
  • A stir-fry is always quick, easy and delicious!
  • I cooked! (As opposed to defrosted, or reheated!) Nothing very exciting -- a meatloaf -- but it was full of onions, mushrooms, celery and green pepper -- nothing resembling bread -- and was quite good. I used a mixture of ground pork, veal and beef. Spinach on the side.

    Tomorrow I'll roast a chicken breast, which will be dinner and lunches all week. Now back to the 64 papers I have to grade! 12 down....
