Whats for Dinner?



Recommended Posts

Didn't anyone like my fish!?!?!?

OK, here's a good weekend one.

Take some boneless, skinless Turkey breasts, and pound them until they are really flat.

Now, in a bowl, mix feta cheese, thawed, and strained frozen chopped spinach, chopped greek olives and some fresh crushed garlic.

Spread the cheese mix on the turkey, and then roll it up and tie with cooking string.

Lightly brown the turkey in olive oil, and then transfer to a roasting pan with white wine, rosemary, fresh chopped basil, and a little more olive oil, and bake at 375 until cooked through.

Slice the "rolls" and serve with a nice greek salad, or over rice pilaf.

The fish recipe I probably wouldn't make but this recipe sounds off the hook. Your recipes sound like you'd be on food network.

Eeekgad, olives... I'm Greek and I can't stand the f***ers.

But here is something I make that doesn't require olives:

Boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in half width-wise.

Open 'em up and stuff them with delicacies of your choice. I use:

Butter shavings

Garlic

Asiago cheese

Salt

Oregano

Spinach

Then sew them up, wrap in foil with another small butter pat & some seasoned salt, and grill.

Solid happiness, baby.

Well, tonight is the first time Ive had people over for dinner since banding. UGH...I cooked a huge meal..BBQ pork loin ( homemade spicy BBQ Sauce cooked 8 hours slowlyyyyy), stir fryed veggies, homemade bread and homegrown blackberry cobbler...and promptly overate. Im not sick..and I didnt go crazy...but..Im way full. I remembered to eat protien first and I opted to eat a few pieces of potatoe instead of bread. I guess it could have been worse...but..ugh..I feel a total loss of control and bloated to the hilt...someone shoot me. lol :hungry: :help:

I made a rub of Cajun seasoning and Splenda brown sugar blend. I rubbed this into turkey cutlets and then sauteed them in a bit of oil in a nonstick skillet. It only takes a couple of minutes of cooking per side. I fixed this last night and my family was STILL talking about them this a.m.

Tonight is taco salad: taco meat, lf cheese, light sour cream, salsa, black olives, diced veggies (peppers, red onion, scallions, etc.). I don't always use lettuce...the veggies are heartier and have more nutritional value. :hungry:

I made a really good dinner last night I wanted to share.

I boiled up some penne Pasta

I steamed some frozen brocolli and then put it in the blender and pureed it

I took a square baking dish and layered the following:

The cooked Pasta, followed by sliced cheddar cheese, then the brocolli puree, then a package of soy nuggets (fake chicken nuggets), then over the top I poured on a bunch of mushroom broth (the recipe I altered was for chicken divan and called for cream of mushroom Soup but all I had was broth)

I baked it at 375 for 30 minutes. It was sooooooooooo sooo good.

I also made sauteed cauliflower with garlic, tons of fresh ground pepper, salt, and paprika done in butter. Yummmmmm.

It was a great dinner.< /p>

My husband wanted tacos....and he cooked them tonight :rolleyes:

I have been trying to stay away from carbs, so I had like 2 big tablespoons of the taco meat, No tortilla, and FF refried Beans with some lowfat cheese and 2 slices of tomatoes.

(ok....and about 7 corn chips)

Im a sucker for the crunchy stuff.

Was yummy and now I feel very full.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
