So.... Let's share!

What is your favorite meal post op? If you can, post a recipe, or a general idea of what's in it. I've never differentiated breakfast/lunch/dinner so you don't need to either.

Low carb is definitely preferred, real food, not pre-made or frozen.

Simple recipes rule, crock pot recipes that the family loves are even better!

GO!

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.}

Pork tenderloin with blueberry syrah sauce!

Meatloaf. Any kind. Chicken, veal, pork, beef, what have you. Just please be lean. 'Nuff said. And hummus instead of mashed potatoes.

Quesadillas... but I only eat the filling. I make the tortillas for the family,

Chop up chicken breasts, season with salt/pepper. Brown in a pan- toss in a jar of you favorite salsa. (Or make you own if your up to it), Let simmer.

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

This is my favorite EASY white chicken chili recipe. I do stir in a half container of sour cream at the end to make it creamier.

I used to make something similar before surgery, it was my midweek easy comfort go to meal and I plan on bringing it back. It is so yummy! So, so yummy!

@@enjoythetime

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!

Spinach and Feta Turkey Burgers:

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/158968/spinach-and-feta-turkey-burgers/?internalSource=search%20result&referringContentType=search%20results

I add half a chopped sweet onion and use about two cups of fresh spinach instead of frozen. Sometimes I substitute goat cheese for the feta. I like the burgers with no bun, dipped in low sugar ketchup.
