My Favorite Meal!



Recommended Posts

Crock-pot mesquite chicken fajitas!! Super simple and delicious! Bell peppers cut into strips, onion-sliced and cut in half, 2 or 3 mesquite chicken breasts(fully cooked from Sams). add 1 can of diced tomatoes, garlic, a little lime juice and a packet of your favorite taco seasoning. Cook on high for 3 hours, and pull the chicken apart, and cover and cook another hour. I didn't include measurements, because it is entirely up to you! Make it your own! Hubs eats it with a flour tortilla, I just eat it with a fork. Mmmmmm

If cooking involved a flamethrower, men would cook all the meals.

This is AMAZING and it's delicious on shrimp too!!

I bake this but I fill a pie pan with spinach , squeeze a lemon over it and then out the fish on top to bake.

The lemon juice and flavors from the fish season the spinach and it cooks down to a perfect side dish.

This is my lunch go-to; I eat it almost every day and never seem to get tired of it:

Buffalo chicken salad

Shredded chicken breast, about 9 oz. (I usually poach my own, but I've also used canned or the Perdue Short Cuts)

2 oz. crumbled blue cheese

5.3 oz container plain Greek yogurt

chopped celery/onion

garlic powder/dried dill/S&P to taste

Frank's Red Hot until it's at your preferred spice level.

This lasts me all week, and I typically eat it with Pork rinds or 34 degree crackers.

I dress mine up with shredded cheese, sour cream and guacamole. mmmmmm!

Super easy!

Turkey and white bean chili (I made mine with lean ground turkey)( i also blended another half can of cannelini Beans and added it to the chili to thickened it; this is a very flexible chili)

(From south beach diet)

This yummy chili can be made many different ways, if you want to experiment. Try using chicken instead of turkey or navy, black, or pinto Beans in place of the white ones. Top it with a tablespoon or two of shredded low-fat cheddar or jack cheese,...More

Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil, olive, extra-virgin

1 medium onion(s)

roughly chopped

2 clove(s) garlic

minced

1 pounds turkey, cutlets

cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin, ground

15 ounce(s) beans, cannellini

(1 can), drained and rinsed

14 1/2 ounce(s) tomatoes, diced, Mexican

(1 can)

1 cup(s) broth, chicken, fat-free, less sodium

salt

to taste

peppercorns, black

freshly ground, to taste

Instructions

1

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.

2

Add turkey, chili powder, and cumin; cook, stirring often, until turkey is no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes.

3

Add beans, tomatoes with juice, and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until flavors blend, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

The other night my friend made a Soup just like the one you posted. She diced a jalapeno and instead of chili Beans she did just plain pinto. Then she made a weird low-carb cornbread to go along side. Mmmm! It was delish!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
