What's for dinner?



Recommended Posts

I'm still on purรฉed foods, so my meals are rather uninteresting! However, if you have Pinterest, feel free to check out my board of Healthy Chow for some ideas! Hope it helps!

Sweet and sour turkey meatloaf. 258 calories per 1/4 serving and 23 grams of Protein. Easy to make and tastes great! It also freezes well. Here is the recipe: 1 lb of ground turkey (I use 93/7), 1/4 cup sugar free apricot jam, 1/4 cup Heinz chili sauce (like ketchup but has more flavor), 1/2 t minced garlic, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 2 T dehydrated onion. Mix jam, chili sauce and garlic in a bowl. Add breadcrumbs, turkey and onions. Mix well. Form into loaf in a pan spayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cook at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. It is Yummy!

I wanted to do either tamale pie or turkey chili in the crock pot but they both take 10 hours. I figured this out at 2pm today... So I think I'm going to make lasagna cupcakes! I haven't made them before but I see them all over the place.

I threw in two small boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the crockpot with a jar of medium salsa. Shredded it and I am enjoying the deliciousness as we speak! Try it if you haven't already. It is soooo tender and juicy and very healthy! This will be probably four more meals for me ;)

I had them in the crockpot for almost 7 hours, but they were done after about 5 hours. I just let them soak in the salsa juices for the additional 2 hours. I had it on high for 2 hours, then switched to low for the remaining time. It is very tasty.

What is the 1/4 serving? 1/4 of the whole meatloaf? May try to adapt this to muffin tins since it's just me.

I made what I call Thai Bastard chicken soup:

carrot, red bell pepper, crimini mushrooms, shredded white meat chicken, swansons Thai Ginger broth, coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce and cilantro. Makes a huge pot (8 quarts), MORE than enough for dinner for 8 plus leftovers to freeze. About 270 calories per (12 oz) serving, which is about 2 times more than I can eat, so really only about 135 calories per serving, but you can also cut calories way down by cutting out the coconut milk or cutting the amount used in half. I mix 1 scoop of unflavored Protein powder with mine to keep the Protein up, but for the family, I serve as is.

Yes 1/4 of the meatloaf is one serving. It freezes so well in individual bags that I cook a meatloaf, divide it into 4 portions and package individually.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.ย  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.ย  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? Itโ€™s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so Iโ€™m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight.ย It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey โค๏ธย Together, we got this!
