Hi guys, I am looking for some new throw together recipes. Sometimes you know after having vsg you just grab anything and put it in your mouth several times a day. And as long as it has enough protein it's deemed to be fine. I'm actually just looking for some new throw together combinations that are small but taste pretty good and are pretty quick. What are your favorite throw together meals?

My fave go to meal is provolone cheese topped with pepperoni and microwaved 30 secs to 1 minute. Quick and easy meal. Tastes like pizza.4

ANY FRUIT and a handful of nuts.0

Nuts and cheese....exciting right? Lol5

I always have a carton of egg whites in the refrigerator, it's a great base to add whatever I have on hand and make a scramble, like some chopped sauteed turkey bacon, green onion, roasted red peppers... lots of possibilities.5

Thanks guys!... Aztec and Jeffries I can't see what you guys commented.0

I slow cook alot of meat and veggie dishes, often theres enough to freeze extra for i cant be arsed nights
In the fridge i always have lettuce, chopped chicken, boiled eggs, reduced fat cheese sticks, sliced up watermelon and yogurt pouches (pro-yo are my current fave)2 -
Someone was talking about taking hard boiled eggs and mixing them in with some honey mustard some banana peppers and some cherry tomatoes and maybe olives. Does that sound good to anyone? I think I might try it I'll add a little celery to it2

Eggs prepared in all kinds of ways have been a big staple for me since I had surgery almost 4 years ago. I actually make pickled eggs a lot, for something different to do with hard boiled eggs. Easy, tasty, and high protein.professor700 wrote: »Someone was talking about taking hard boiled eggs and mixing them in with some honey mustard some banana peppers and some cherry tomatoes and maybe olives.

I love throwing together a "deli box" with cubes up cheese, some rolled deli meat, hard boiled egg or grilled chicken with some nuts..I usually allow 1 oz of cheese and nuts and 2-3 oz of the meat.
I also do meal prep on Sunday and throw the excess in portion controlled containers in the freezer. I love some of the chili recipes on Skinnytaste..I particularly love the turkey chili with sweet potato. Very filling and tasty too!5 -
Deli-box sounds good...I might try that today. I've kind of lost to taste for fat for some reason. So right now I'm really enjoying fish and shrimp and vegetables that are steamed and stuff like that. I think I'll put some lemon juice in with your recipe!

@professor700 I LOVE fish and never really added fat to it in terms of butter and oil and stuff but I did find a company called Nuts Over Fish when we were in Maine last summer and they make these amazing nut toppings...total game changer! Last night made cod with some
Of the cashew topping and we make the salmon with the pistachio topping. I bought the variety pack so I have all of he flavors and just working through them one package at a time! I did also find that if I brush 1/4 tsp of flavored olive oil on my fish and top with the nut toppings or with some herbs/spices that it really enhances the flavor.2 -
nuts over fish...I found them on amazon and Im ordering the macadamia! Thanks! Ill let you know how it goes over with the Hubby0

I ordered some Nuts Over Fish too, can't wait to try it! Thanks @jcavanna2 :-)2

@professor700 and @garber6th let me know what you think -- I LOVE this product! Tonight we are having the no sugar added almond topping on top of salmon

@jcavanna2 I think I will be making those deli boxes for when I go back to work from Summer vacation they sound like something I would enjoy. Thanks for the idea!2

- shrimp with homemade reduced sugar cocktail sauce
- Morningstar Farms spicy black bean burger topped with a slice of cheese and a poached egg
- ham/cream cheese/pickle rollups
- Buffalo chicken salad made with Greek yogurt, Franks and blue cheese crumbles on 34 Degree crackers or with celery dippers

Angryviking,
That sounds great! I think I might get some of those MorningStar Farms black bean burgers unless they have a lot of carbs in them0 -
@AngryViking1970 - What is your cocktail sauce recipe?0
-
So easy! I take 3 TB of the Heinz Reduced Sugar ketchup, throw in about 1-2 tsp of prepared horseradish (depending on how you like your spicy) and a splash each of lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce.2

I got my order, I didn't have any fish but I had some shrimp and I used the almond topping and it was delicious! I used some of the topping on some riced cauliflower and that was really good too!0 -
@garber6th so glad you liked the topping! It's awesome -- I have found that if I brush the fish with some flavored olive oil before topping the fish it makes an awesome meal!2

I'm so boring with food that I eat pretty much the same thing every day during the week and keep my dinners different at night.
Lately it's been -
2 boiled egg whites and a string cheese
Peach w/1/2c of cottage cheese
Greek yogurt
Deli Meat, cheese, and pickles
Watermelon
Protein Shake
Tuna Packets1 -
Is there a reason why you're not eating the egg yolk? Most of the vitamins and minerals are in the yolk...Lizakabibbis wrote: »I'm so boring with food that I eat pretty much the same thing every day during the week and keep my dinners different at night.

@Ultima_Morpha - yeah, I just don't like the yolk when boiled. Since it's the easiest thing for me to do for breakfast during the week - I just eat the whites.3

Yea...I find its easy to get bored with food now....I am still doing some orgain or other protein shakes because of this reason. Definitely different than before surgery. On the bright side, Whole Foods will Steam and season any fish or seafood item of your choice for free!1 -
So if you want some steamed and seasons fish crab shrimp Etc just go to Whole Foods to the seafood case and ask them and they will do it for you and it is amazing amazing amazing! And relatively inexpensive in comparison to going to a restaurant. Today I went in and got some fresh wild halibut with tequila lime season steamed and a pound of steamed shrimp with Old Bay seasoning. Delicious!
