Shepherd's pie - layer in a 9x13: seasoned browned hamburger, cooked green beans (or preferred vegetable) and mashed potatoes (use dairy free milk?). Serve as is or can bake to meld flavors together. Stuffed Pepper soup - this recipe is amazing and very versatile…

Can you do stir-fry with rice, veggies and meat? Not completely familiar with the allergy elimination diet, can you eat beans? If so, Ham and bean soup may be a good option. Found this link, looks like it may be helpful for you. www.nourishingmeals.com/2009/03/elimination-diet-recipes-and-free-book.html

Age: 25 Height: 5'5" HW: 191 CW: 142 LW/GW: 132-135 Goal: To lose the 7-10 pounds I have put on over the last few months. I have lost motivation and am struggling to get back in my weight loss groove.

For individual servings, what about angel food cake cupcakes topped with cool whip and strawberries (or other berries)? What about this strawberries and cream trifle? http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/strawberries--n--cream-trifle This chocolate cake from skinnytaste may not be low in carbs, but the calorie count is…

Thanks, going to have to try this!

Some strategic planning can help you satisfy those hunger pains (so you don't eat the bathtub :smile: ). Here are some guidelines that have helped me: Plan the "splurges" - If you want a brownie, ice cream and caramel, why not fit it in? It is all about portion sizes and moderation. Log meals and snacks for the day in…

Had this for breakfast today. I weigh my foods, so here is what mine came out to: 40 g oats 1 egg 22 g banana 45 g strawberries (my strawberries were sorta on the small side so used two strawberries) 1 T. 2% milk (.4 oz) dash of vanilla Mine was a total of 259 calories. I did not add sugar - just a personal preference as I…

skinnytaste emilybites Also can find some good recipes through allrecipes or food.com. I like these two sites as you can read reviews and get a basic idea of what the calorie count will be (calorie count will vary based on brands, substitutions, and any other changes made to recipe). I normally just google whatever recipe…

Breakfast - Fruit and yogurt smoothie brown rice porridge - found recipe by chance via google at eat-your-heart-out.net. The recipe as is makes 4 breakfasts for me, I portion, refrigerate and reheat with a bit of milk. oatmeal - allrecipes "Super-duper oatmeal" and "super good oatmeal" recipes are both really filling Lunch…

This site has been mentioned many times here, but is worth mentioning again - skinnytaste. Another site that has some pretty good healthy meals - budgetbytes There are tons more out there but that might help give some ideas. A super easy versatile way to cook chicken: 2-4 pcs chicken (can be frozen or partially thawed) in…

Well I don't have any specific recipes at hand at the moment, but here are some ideas: Soups - Chicken and rice soup, black bean soup, ham and beans, chicken tortilla, chili, etc. Baked chicken and rice (could throw some veggies in too) Skillet meals - cook meat, add veggies, cooked rice (or noodles), seasonings, top with…

Could be more than one thing. Are you sure that they are connected with your diet and not related to stress, change in sleep schedule or any other change/conditions that started at the same time as your diet change? Caffeine withdrawl could definitely be a cause for it. The change in diet could be the cause as well,…

What about a fruit salad? A very basic one that I like from time to time: 1-2 qt strawberries, roughly quartered and cut in chunks 1 qt blueberries, fresh or frozen (thawed) 2 can peaches, drained, cut in chunks Sugar, to taste (I did abt 1 1/2 t. last time) After rinsing the blueberries and strawberries, blot with a paper…

I have been searching for something like this and my own experiments have failed me so far. Is the texture more of a soft stovetop pudding or a baked pudding or custard? Instead of using the microwave, could this be made on the stovetop or in the oven as well?

"Herbal/Natural" remedy: Melatonin (would buy at Walmart in the vitamin section) Took every night for at least 2-3 years. Rating - 9/10 95% of the time this would work. "Food" remedy: Warm milk and molasses (1-2 T. to 8 oz. milk) Rating - 8 Very comforting. This seems to work maybe 80% of the time I was always told that if…

I don't have any side dish recipes to share but definitely interested to see if anyone else has ideas! Always looking for high protein/low calorie options. Regarding your question about the brown rice and beans..it sounds really good to me! This wouldn't really add to the protein but if it were me, I would definitely add a…

Here are some soup ideas: Chilli Cheesy Brocolli Soup Potato Soup Stuffed Pepper Soup (skinnytaste or familyfreshmeals.com) - delicious! Could probably be made on the stovetop if you were in a hurry. Lasagna soup (jamiecooksitup) - you could use any kind of pasta probably and could be kind of a fun twist on classic…

This will be going on my "to-do list". I really enjoy versatile recipes like this! Thanks!

hemp hearts...never heard of that. I will have to see where I can get it around here. Thanks! :smile:

Some spices do - such as 1 Tbsp. garlic powder has 27 calories according to the brand I use, but 28 according to usda. I was surprised to see this as I use garlic powder quite liberally. For some reason some spices, such as onion powder, have a varying range of calories depending on the brand, so when that happens I try to…

I weigh out a serving at night, add some wheat germ and/or wheat bran and a heavy dash of cinnamon into a microwave safe bowl, add a generous 1 1/2 cup water and microwave for 2 minutes, stir (it will be somewhat watery) then cover and refrigerate overnight (most of the water will be soaked into the oats by then). When it…

Baby carrots or carrot sticks celery brocolli cauliflower grapes oranges - already peeled and seperated pretzels Granola or Special K bars - you can also make homemade granola bars or baked oatmeal bars - tons of recipes on the internet. Muffins - again, tons of healthy recipes on the internet - Most quick bread recipes…

Cream of Wheat is the perfect comfort food whether for breakfast or an evening snack. These are my go-to combinations, depending on what sounds good at the time: Honey and cinnamon (sometimes add nutmeg too) Cocoa powder and preferred sweetener (I use honey) - makes it taste deliciously rich but still healthy! Trade out…

A quick search for "medium banana" shows that most entries say it would be about 105 calories. A 1/2 cup of oats is considered to be 150. Based on these calorie counts, the total calories for your batch would be 255, dividing that into 6 cookies would come to 42.5 calories per cookie. The actual calorie count could…

I just might have to try this sometime. Thanks!

Have you tried the two ingredient cookies on the recipe forum? can't think of the exact measurements and directions but if you use the search tool, you will find it plus variations as well - it is basically banana and oats - I also add chopped walnuts and cinnamon. They taste like a very moist banana bread. These pumpkin…

:-) Great! glad that helped.

I think you are asking if the recipe calculator saves your recipe calculations so you can go back and look at your list of ingredients and measurements? If so, yes it does. It is great! I use it all the time! On the website, under Food click the Recipes tab, all your recipes that you have created will be listed there by…

I also enjoy baking and using basic everyday ingredients to make healthier modifications and/or recipes. I apologize in advance for the length of this post but I have tried to include some of the basics that that have worked for me. When I am wanting to adjust a recipe to be healthier, I look at the sugar content and…

Looks good! Will have to try this. Thanks!
