Not sure
Is squash on the list? I don't remember seeing that and I plan on making two squash recipes next week0 -
Yes. It is. Zucchini is definitely there. I remember clearly. I forget what page. Book isn't handy.0
-
Confirmed - it says summer or winter squash.0
-
I'm creating my meal plan for next week and wanted to incorporate pasta into the program. Can anyone recommend a good whole wheat pasta?0

I made a quick chicken fried rice the other night but substituted quinoa for the rice. I had cooked cubed chicken already in the fridge so I just scrambled some egg whites in coconut oil then sauteed some onions and peppers (I didn't have any peas). I used a little chicken broth when the oil cooked away. Then added the chicken and quinoa with some soy sauce to taste. It was soooo good! My son even ate the leftovers the next day and I NEVER thought he'd try quinoa.0

Just thought I'd share. I've been making my Shakeology with one purple container of frozen peaches (no sugar added) 1 green container of spinach a cup of almond milk and a scoop of Vanilla Shakeology. It is absolutely delicious. I blend it up in my magic bullet and it takes on the consistency of pudding. It's my favorite meal of the day!0

@wrightchoices - I don't eat much pasta - its a trigger food for me. So I get whatever is on sale. But I have been using zucchini noodles and its been great!
@cupcake570 - that sounds great! I am going to have to try it. I was concerned about the sodium in soy sauce though. I was just telling my husband yesterday - I think after doing this 21DF - I much prefer Quinoa to rice!
@Ik27 - sounds good! YUM!0 -

@dkwi04 you can use low sodium soy sauce or liquid aminos if you're worried about the sodium. I used the low sodium soy sauce. We have a chinese supermarket near us so I can pretty much find any sauce, vinegar, or vegetable there.0

@wrightchoices Yes. I shared one just 2 days ago. Look up the thread and you'll see it.0

I have to say - I haven't made any super recipes lately. But last night I really enjoyed my dinner - my husband was eh about it, but I loved it so I will type it up here.
Butternut and Turkey squash bake
Ingredients;
1 small butternut squash
1 pound lean ground turkey breast
2 small apples
1 small onion
4 cloves of garlic
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp curry paste
2 eggs
cheddar cheese (optional)
The recipe said to cut the squash and bake it at 375-400 for 30 minutes or so - I was lazy and put it in the microwave.
Then I browned the turkey, added the onion, garlic and apples. The pan was dry so I added a little no-sodium chicken broth and sautéed until the veggies were soft. Added the spices.
I scooped the squash out and put it in the pan with the turkey mixture.
The recipes said to beat the eggs and then add that to the mix and transfer to a oven safe dish. I just kept it in the pan I was using because it was oven safe. I put a little cheese on the top and baked it at 350 for about 15 minutes.
This recipe served 4 - and I counted it as 1 Red 1 Green and 1/2 purple (I actually was going to do 4 apples to make it a full purple, but I just realized now I didn't - and I am glad I didn't). Adjust the count based on the cheese you used. I just sprinkled about 1 blue over it all - so it would have been 1/4 per serving, next time I will do a little more!0 -
I count snap peas as green0

Found this great link with 20 clean eating recipes:
http://www.cookinglight.com/eating-smart/smart-choices/clean-eating-recipes/view-all0 -
Wow love the cookbook!!!!0
-
thank you! I need to up my recipe game. My husband asked me yesterday if I was going to "clean eat" forever. Apparently I have taken it to an extreme and the food just isn't really good enough LOL.0
-
@dwi04 Not for nothing, remember that food is a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach. I have a slow cooker cookbook that reminded me of this recently. You know how slow cooked food typically comes out looking sort of bland? The vibrant colors of the ingredients tend to fade when cooked slowly. This cookbook recommended adding a dash of fresh herbs or vegetables a dash of color to liven up the food visually. So some diced fresh herbs or green onion or even yellow or orange bell pepper can take a dish from "oh" to "wow" just like that. See if that helps make clean eating a bit more palatable.0
-
Yep! I haven't been using many spices and herbs lately - and not much salt either. So It has been bland, so its time to kick it up a notch.0
-
@dkwi04 I put the salt on the table for my husband but avoid it myself. I don't know if I shared this recipe here: http://www.udderlyfit.com/beef-and-butternut-squash-stew/ So good my husband didn't need to add salt.
But we're probably going to have to get rid of our salt . . . not sure . . . waiting on some news. We'll see. Just a few more weeks and we'll know what we're facing. Ugh.0 -
yeah, I think the lack of salt wouldn't be bad if I used more seasonings. I am going to make it a point of doing so - that way he doesn't feel deprived.0
-
and that recipe looks good - might make that next week. Squash is one of our favorites....and he always was complaining about a lack of red meat.0
-
@dkwi04 You can also do what my husband and I do sometimes. He hated the turkey meatballs so he had beef ones while I tried different turkey meatball recipes (still fix approved, of course) and found some he liked. He also has a regular hamburger while I have a veggie one. But I have to have beef occasionally as well because my body just doesn't do well without some occasionally. It's so bad sometimes my husband can tell when I need some. Go figure.0

Thanks for the cookbook!!!! Printing it now.
