Maybe we can start posting our best recipes and tips concering food here!

mine for today: lovely breakfast with sweet potato!!
I put 150 grams of cubed sweet potato in the microwave with little water and cinnamon, then put it into the blender and added some stevia. Pour that over a bowl of fresh blueberries and top with greek yogurt (I will have to use soy yogurt in the future... no lactose for me... ) and some chopped almonds/walnuts.
That was sooooo yummy!!!

    I admit you all are way more fit then me I am sure. I am new to all this. Well just returning after a 13 year break for lack of a better word. Any ways. Here is a recipe. Makes a bunch. Very filling and freeze well. This is the basic recipe. You can adjust for what you like and what is available or fresh in your area. I put can items just cause most of these can be found year round. But I really rather use fresh when I can.


    this makes 14 - 2c servings. Love this with a large salad. Very filling. Here is the general stuff I put in it. You can adjust for yourself and what comes in your area or what you like. But general idea.

    I use the EVOO just to brown the turkey in and saute the veg a bit beofre adding everything else. If any of you try it let me know what you think. This also freeze well. Just reheat in pan with water in it.

    One of my favorite snacks you can have any time:

    Banana Walnut Cottage Cheese
    1/2 cup low sodium cottage cheese (I use Breakstone)
    1/2 banana, crescent cut (slice in half, and then dice up the halves. Actually looks like half moon pieces)
    1/8 cup of walnuts, crushed (walnuts are soft enough to crush with your fingers. If you want to use almonds instead, crushing with a knife works well for those, or you can throw them in a food processor!)

    Comes out to like 232 calories. It's in my food journal for today if you want to check out the rest of the stats!

    Have a great day!

    That sounds really good!!
    Here's my newly discovered breakfast-favorite:
    butternut-'porridge':
    - half of a roasted butternut squash (best microwave it)
    - one TBSP almond butter
    - cinnamon
    - honey or stevia (if you want it sweeter)

    Just puree the squash, stir in the almond butter and cinnamon into the warm mixture and you're ready to go. This makes a delicious post-workout breakfast/meal!!!

    Easiest way (if you do not have a lot of time) is just to through a whole squash in the microwave for about 15 to 20 mins (depends on size as well). Otherwise to get that lovely roast taste, just cut it in half and place it on a baking tray (with baking sheet below) cut side down and roast it at about 350 for 25 to 40 mins!!

    My new bfast "grab & go"

    1. 12 egg whites (6 if whole eggs)
    2. grated cheese (your choice)
    3. meat ( i use leftovers or turkey bacon)
    4. salt & pepper
    "puff pastry" busciut or low carb wrap sectioned in 4 (optional)

    "butter muffin tins" using "fake butter spray" or a cap full of veg oil will do the whole pan, using fingers to grease

    **if you are using biscuit cut in half after you open pkg & place in bottom of muffin tin
    **if you are using low carb wrap section in 4 - i use a round cookie cutter, but qtr'ing it will do - and place in bottom of muffin tin

    mix ingredients 1-4 together, fill muffin tins 3/4 way full - bake @ 400 for about 20 minutes.


    bag & grab for the wk :)
