Hey everyone,

Last night while eating out @ outback, I was discussing the struggles I went thru in beginning w/ fiancée. How it was so hard having to eliminate eating the dishes I loved at famous restaurants and how I put my imagination and cooking skills together and figured out how to make them myself at home, but make it with ingredients I know will pass and stay down. So she said why not share that info with others on board.DUH... glad she's got some smarts left... so, here I am willing to share Some of my tricks to all whom are interested, Best way I think this can work is to tell me the restaurant(s) and the dish you're no longer able to eat now, I'll check my data base and happily share either original way to prepare for friends or Family

or modified for yourself. So if you would like please either ask here on posting or send private message. Not saying I have EVERY RESTAURANTS recipes, BUT MAJORITY OF MOST POPULAR PLACES.

hope I can help!

Yes pls include me I love recipes!!!

Hi Carolina girl, just tell me the restaurants and the Entrees I'll see what I can do for y'all

Well, I like mexican foods alot. (applebee's, bbq places, chili's).

How about reg fast food places also??

Applebees & chillies no problem, BBQ is my Specialty dear,pitmaster at your disposal! What fast food restaurants?

Ah Meican food, Lets address that one, As you may know steak is a no no for us bandittios, Only for simple fact is too much fat, or its to thick, well here's my secret for recipies that call for steak, Steak Um's Yes Minute steaks, easy to make quick, thin and lean. Chop it up into small pieces sautee them in onions with a small amout of extra virgin olive oil or sprinkle onion powder, minced onions, however you enjoy it. nOW GROUND BEEF IS STILL OK FOR US, BUT IT HAS TO BE THE LEANEST YOU CAN GET, 85/15 Is obviously good, 90/10 is better but again whatever is available and within your budget. use lift or fat free sour cream and same for cheeses but try to get the finest grate of cheese possible, Salsa are hard too because of chunks of veggies, so hers what you'll do , take the amount your having and put into a small food processor, or blender, and puree it for about a minuet or untill a whipped consistancy. In replacement of Flour Tortillas use Tortila chips. Anything that goes into something can just as easily now be on top of it. Just be careful of Spices. they do repeat and sure ain't pleasant at 2 A.M. Give me your feedback on this please, like i said give me a specific recipe so i can be more precice to the entree

steve, are we watching the fat or calories with these foods or are we focusing on protein/veggie? (i know i will not eat over 3/4 to 1 cup food total at any time i eat).

the steak ums, are they the frozen ones? can we use chix instead of red meat as i am not a huge red meat person

fast food--mcdonalds, bojangles, subway, taco bell, wendys, dominos

(since i got my band, my hub has lost 10 pounds by eating healthier also)

Wow good for him too! LOL subway is easy just get shaved cold cuts.. I found that in replacement of sliced bread, Triscuits, small, crunchy,fiber, or a Pita cut in halk only one side toasted. Melba Toast, saltines. again all in bread family but none will expand in stomach and less starch = less sugar Mcdonald's, Wendy's ... just don't eat the bun, small nibbles and chew chew chew, taco bell same as before.. Dominos... Now this is where it contradicts itself, For Pizza I use a Flour Tortilla, wheat can be used too.. whatever size you prefer 12", 9" ... now if you have a Piza Stone that is a plus if not no buggie not needed. just helps make crust crispier. take the tortilla and poke fork holes into it so when it bakes it dosent bubble up. apply a smal, thin coating on olive oil to tortilla and place in oven for 3 minuets or until it starts to darken at edges. remove from oven, apply thin light layer of sauce, and put back into oven for 2 minuets remove put low fat or fat free mozzarella or whatever cheese you prefer, and bake again until cheese has melted, if you want to put toppings make sure they are small enough to chew and to pass make it crumbled if needed. Bojangles.. None of them in NY but i'll checkhave so many resturants secret recipes!
