color_me_skinny

I have a ton of mushrooms and carrots that need to be used soon! Any suggestions?
The meats I have are chicken, ground turkey, pork chops, stew meat, & pork roast roast...I think thats it until next week!

I like the chop up mushrooms really fine and then throw in soy sauce & tofu (although you could use cooked chicken) in a lettuce wrap

Sounds like a hearty soup to me! Make the 0 pt WW Soup but with mushrooms instead of zuccini.

Mushroom and chicken quesadillas, I put onion and spinach in ours also with a little fat free cheese.

Carrots go in stew of course.

I use them in my grount turkey. So I chop up a whole bunch of them and saute them with the ground turkey when its cooking. It doubles your meat as well.
carrots I use them in with the chicken to make a lemon chicken noodle soup. Buy some organic chicken/veggie broth and saute the carrots, onions and some celery then add the stock, I cook my chicken seperately, then add it with a bay leaf juice of 2-3 lemons, pepper and whole grain noodles or any pasta you have laying around. oh and I use the rind of my reggiano cheese for the saltiness, if i have it.
Hope this helps.

you could make a marinara sauce and put over whole wheat pasta then put grilled chicken on top with a little parmesan cheese if you have it. this is really good.

The carrots should freeze well.

Soup, or stew... Mmmmm.

You could always do a stirfry. I like to get the pre-made ones at Walmart (the Delux is really good) and add extra veggies to them. A little brown rice and you're set!

sounds like a stir fry to me!

BigBoneSista

Make a meat loaf with them or stir-fry them and use them as a topping on your meat

I love to do pasta dishes. Make some PASTA,
brown the GROUND TURKEY
throw in the MUSHROOMS and CARROTS
add some ONIONS if you have them
add some low fat or nonfat COTTAGE CHEESE or RICOTTA
add SPINACH and/or SQUASH or any other veggies you have
salt & pepper

You can use as little or as many ingredients as you want. I did that last night and added pesto and it was so yummy!!

Also I love just roasting carrots. You can also bake the chicken, make a wine sauce with the mushrooms, some white (or red) wine and a little flour and just pour over chicken.

Get a thing of fresh broccoli, some potatoes, and onions. Cut all up(mushrooms and carrots, too) in to small bite size pieces, toss with a small amount of olive oil or grapeseed oil, season to taste, and roast them in a baking dish. The flavors all blend fantastically, and go great with that pork roast you mentioned.
