Veggie Recipes to spice things up???



Recommended Posts

Just went to the farmers market and got some zucchini, squash, spaghetti squash and a whole lot of basil (smelled so good I couldn't pass it up!) Normally I just bake or grill the veggies with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Any new ideas other than simply grilling or making pesto?

Ahh I love summer farmer's markets!

...I can smell the basil now, and it's on the otherside of my house lol mmmm :)

Oh you are making me hungry and inspiring me to go to the farmer's market next week! I LOVE grilled veggies - do you grill them in a pan or on the BBQ or George Foreman?

I read a while back about a recipe using grilled eggplant and portbella mushrooms. I am thinking a stuffed pepper might be good with lots of veggies and your choice of meat.< /p>

Recently I have been addicted to a spinach salad with LF feta cheese, pecans,dried cranberries and sliced strawaberries with low calorie rasberry sald dressing- I had this for lunch for a week and lost weight that week!

I'll cook up zucchini, squash, broccoli and cauliflower, then cook it with ricotta cheese, Pasta sauce and some cheese in a casserole or baking dish. I've been really pleased with it every time I've made it.

We made a lasange with zucchini strips instead of noodle. I used ground turkey for meat and loaded it up with squash, mushrooms, onions, tomatos. It was awesome.

Let' see..since I love it all...I can mention a few ways...

Zucchini bread, ,,fried zuchini(I mean come on we don't have to give everything up)....I like to grill it on the GF with olive oil and salt and pepper. Spaghetti squash can be scraped into strips just like Pasta and ate just like spaghetti. Squash and zucchini can be peeled, boiled and mashed just like potatoes with milk and butter. Zucchini cut thin and steamed or raw just a bit goes great on a sandwhich. Basil can be lightly fried into chips in olive oil and they are crispy and yummy. I love pesto; I use it as a sauce or on a wrap, etc. I had a wrap the other day with basil in the wrap bread part...it was strong and delicious.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
