Thought I would post these receipes. They kind of go together.

My dearest Jack recommended shrimp salad, so I bought a half pound of raw shrimp. I boiled them whole and thought, hey I can make some Soup. So I did. Took the shrimp out of the boiling Water (which left about 6 cups of fishy water), took the shells off, put them in the blender and minced them.

In the water I added two tomatillos, 1/4 small red onion, 1 cup fresh mushrooms, some cilantro, and 1 jalepeno (seeded), and some fajita seasoning. After this cooked I blended it up, and added a little bit of the minced shrimp. Then I cooked some tapalia filets. Served this way: Tapalia filets with 1/2 piece sliced Havarti cheese w/dill melted on, covered with fishy soup. Absolutely yummy and went down without any pain!!!

Shrimp salad receipe: Minced Shrimp, mayo, garlic pepper, pickle juice, diced red onion. Yummy!

Poodles, the soup sounds good. So does the fish but finding alternatives available here is a pain in the &&&. I am going to order fajita mix today. Any recipes you can send me I would appreciate. I am going through a phase where its a pain to cook and eat. Celeste

Honestly I have found you can blend anything, thin it out with broth or milk, and eat it.

I have blended flavored tofu with milk and cheese, spaghetti (with meat), soups/stews, chili, cooked veggies... even tried a burger, which did not turn out too well.

I have asked for a magic bullet for Christmas.

I found fajita seasoning in the spice isle. It was about $3.00.

Tried a fancier version of my fishy soup... and found out I am allergic to crab. Yikes!!!! I mixed scallops, crab, and shark with the above ingredients. (Expensive stew)... but about 20 minutes after eating it my tongue started to tingle and swell!!! 4 Benedryl later I was ok... and sleepy. It tasted good though! The only thing I can figure is that REAL crab does not work for me. The fake stuff is great to make the crab salad though!

I don't have a lot of time to cook during the week, so I will make a big batch of a few things on Sunday, and then dish out what I want during the week.

Check out my "Threesome" thread too, Jack has some great suggestions, like lunch meat and cheese. He says shredded wheat works for him, and I have tried it, but it will not go down cold. I did heat it up with a packet of splenda and a little cinnamon and it went down fine and tasted good.

Maybe if all of us tight people put our heads together we can find a menu that will work for us and let us lose weight.
