Bump! Also have a "meat and potato" man at home, which is difficult since I'm a vegetarian.

If there is a bone in it then you're probably good.

Kulli1's "stealth veg" comment made me laugh! There was a cookbook put out several years ago; it's supposed to be how to sneak veggies into your kids meals without them knowing, but it would work for adults too, I suppose. I found a free copy of it on Scribd for you:

Skinnytaste.com has tons of delicious but healthy recipes that he might like.

scorpiomfs

his favorite so far is what i call ranch potatoes.


take small red potatoes calories depend on the size you use . cut them in half if larger in 1/4 s

in a freezer bag mix a few tablespoons of olive oil any oil would work

1 packet of hidden valley ranch dry mix
mix those together then add potatoes and mix throughly.

i dump potatoes onto a foil lined bakjing sheet and bake at 350 for about 35-45 min depending on how crispy you like them we like them crispy.

i get 160 calories using 2 small red potatoes

ofcourse he eats the rest so just put what you use in a recipe the calories will vary by oil and size of potatoe

most of all enjoy this goes well with baked chicken and asparagus our favorite meal.

Do you think this would be good with ground turkey? I got carried away when it went on sale and our freezer has more turkey than we know what to do with?!

I replace everything that calls for ground beef with ground turkey

Theres so many recipes on this website that your hubby will probably love

Bumping to check these out tomorrow!

stews are great... because the meat flavor will infuse into the vegetables.. and it will be filling so you don't have to eat a large amount... and it'll be healthy. I actually like soups better, the thinner broth fills you up but it still has all the flavor!

gebe1231

I'm excited to check out some of these recipes too for my hubby! Thanks!

bump...I have a very picky husband too. He doesn't like fruit, vegetables, beans, rice....just fast food, red meat, fried chicken, bacon, eggs, and potatoes. I gained 30lbs in a year eating the way he likes to, and now I get to lose it and he looks just as great as ever, grrr....lol

I have made chili with a mix of turkey and beef...sounds odd but yes it is good and cuts down on the calories and fat from been. Also just ground turkey works good also.

Here is a great recipe for those that want a good burger with the taste with out the fat and cals...

Turkey Apple Burgers

1lb -Lean ground Turkey
1 Large egg beaten
1C Finely crushed soda crackers
2T Finely chopped onion
1 - Small crushed garlic
1 Red apple with peel diced
1T Chopped Parsley
3/4t Salt
1/2t Pepper

Combine all ingred in bowl and form into six patties. Broil 4" inches from heat for 10 min per side or grill or George Foreman or BBQ or med heat.
1 burger : 174 calories, 19g Protein, 4g Total Fat, 1.1 Sat Fat., 2mg Cholesterol, 552mg Sodium

Notes. I have made adjustments such as a smaller amount of oatmeal instead of crackers, and egg beaters instead of the fat for a whole egg and it does work. I have even left the egg out all together and still turns out delicious. it is a favorite of my husband Not working on a diet program. just another idea and choice for good dinner or lunch idea.
