Curious again....

Picadillo because it gives you flavorful Protein and you can serve with anything. You can have lettuce wraps, tortillas, tacos, with rice and Beans, with eggs....

1 medium onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, chopped

1 medium green bell pepper, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound ground beef

1/4 cup stuffed pimento olives, chopped

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Crushed red pepper flakes

1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce ( or chopped tomatoes)

In a large skillet over medium heat, saute onions, garlic, and pepper in olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add ground beef and olives and continue stirring to break up and brown the meat. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. When beef has browned, add tomato sauce gradually while stirring. Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer to incorporate sauce

sometimes i substitute the olives with golden raisins and add some toasted almonds...or i keep the olives and add it anyway

salmon poached in wine, thyme and onions with creamed spinach. mmmm

Greek lamb meatballs and feta with crisp pita and hummus (all homemade), or my homemade gyros. Spinach & ricotta stuffed chicken breast, on the grill with proscuitto-wrapped asparagus. Bacon-wrapped whitefish. Crab-stuffed chicken topped with carmelized onions and spinach.

DAMMIT MAN (or woman) Yall Come cook at my house.....

PLease..

You're a regular gormet cook!

I don't cook too often, but when I do, I like to do it right. Hmm, I wonder why I'm fat... :cool:

Wheetsin you need to share some recipes lady!

Usually taco night at my house is my favorite! While the hubby and kids are eating tacos (all the way) I am eating the veggies and refried beans (fat free) with sour cream (fat free), cheese (fat free) and taco sauce with out the shell. Or going to any restaurant and having their soup....love, love, LOVE soup! It's my favorite! :hungry:

My favorite dinner is anything I don't make. I'm a horrible cook.

My favorite banded meal is anything mexican ~ beans and rice do well with me.

Any white fish (sole, chilean sea bass, halibit) in butter sauce......and then it takes about an hour to finish it.

I'm with Kathy...I love Soup. And I make wonderful soup, if I do say so myself. My specialties are potato cheese, broccoli cheese, chicken tortilla, cream of chicken, gumbo (chicken,sausage, seafood, or all 3), and homemade chili.

I try to stay away from the "cream of" Soups and when I do have them, I limit myself to one small bowl. I also make them with skim milk and/or fat free half and half.

I love to fix catfish fillet dipped in louisana fish fry and fried...I find the fish is wonderful and it's easy for me to eat....I usually have a slice of onion and dill pickle...the fillet is 3-4 ounces...just wonderful...

Carlene please tell me how to make tortilla soup. Please please please please. Thank you. Katt

I've eaten loads of salmon since banded - we either do it with a spicy African rub, baked in the oven, um with a red curry paste and lite coconut milk sauce, baked on its own, marinated, any old how. I adore salmon and its so good for you.

Yikes its expensive though. the kids get cheap fish, lol.
