I make breakfast sandwiches (I found the recipe on sweet peas and saffron) and also make crustless quiche. Oatmeal is another good option to have with a fried egg and some sauteed mushrooms, spinach or bell peppers.

Celery....bitter melon....jackfruit...durian.

I use Skinnytaste cookbooks (she has quite a few vegetarian options and she makes comfort foods into healthier versions). I would also suggest the blog Sweet Peas and Saffron who also makes really good vegetarian/vegan recipes along with the meat recipes. And Oh She Glows....she has great smoothie recipes but I do find I…

Zoodles, quiche and quinoa salads!

Slow cooker and spiralizer I also have a zester that I use to mince garlic and ginger that i use a lot!

I slice up some onions, mushrooms and spinach and put it in a breakfast sandwich. I have also done tomato and zucchini, peppers, spinach and feta cheese. There are lots of great ways to incorporate veggies.

The dressing i make - olive oil, either balsamic or red wine vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper, Dijon mustard and lemon or lime juice.

For cheap meals I usually do more vegetarian meals. I have meat and seafood maybe two to three times a week. I have a lot of lentils, soups and salads.

I love avocados and eat them often. I have them on toast, on sandwiches, salads, in smoothies and I have used them to make avocado basil pesto with pasta. Another way is just having it with salad dressing. I have that as a snack.

You should look up the blog Sweet Peas and Saffron. She actually does a lot of posts for meal prepping with a great variety of proteins and options. She also has a meal planning/prepping challenge that you can enter with a whole bunch of people. She has good, flavorful recipes. I also use Skinnytaste and Oh She Glows for…

I include cheese in my salads for something creamy....goat cheese I make with spinach salads with a little bit of fruit and nuts, feta with Greek salads and bococcini with capers salad.

Grits.

I use it for sauces..,I make a garlic, mint sauce for Indian spiced cauliflower and chickpeas or to go with lamb meatballs.

I use maple syrup in my coffee.....just a small amount.

I am currently trying to figure that out myself. The way I have tried to go about it is to find recipes for the meals/foods that I enjoy and figure out healthier substitutes for some of the ingredients. I have also upped my veggie intake a great deal. I use a lot of spices as well. I love food and now I still have stir…

It is a personal preference but I find it pushes me to get up and moving more. I dont necessarily use it for the calorie count, but to see how many steps I am doing, how active I am, and my sleep pattern.

Thank you!! Hoping this will be the time that I stick to it!

My original intention was to get a whole bunch of produce and pre-chop so that if I do get called into work, I could cook it while there (I have access to a stove) or try and also pre-cook a few vegetarian options that I could just throw in with some quinoa. I am trying to up my fruit and vegetable intake and cut out carbs…

Welcome back! Add me as a friend if you would like!

We have just started with HelloFresh and are enjoying the recipes. The food still has lots of flavor and it is well portioned. There are sometimes enough for leftovers (lentil recipes). I always look forward to seeing what they have coming up week to week.

I am considering making vegetarian meals to take to work. I need something light as I work overnights and big meals that include meat and higher amounts of carbs affect my sleep. I also need to work on my portion control with carbs. We have reintroduced rice, bread and potatoes and are working on finding just the right…

Hi! My name is Sara and I am hoping to lose 80-100 lbs. I have a complicated relationship with food. I stress/emotionally eat and have a hard time dealing with my cravings.

Thank you everyone for the responses....I really need to figure out what to do and the smaller meals or snacks definitely seems like the right way to go because when I have brought heavier meals, like I said, my sleep seems fitful and etc. Jacob, it is mainly just low carb - I have carbs in small amounts - couscous and…

I write it on the previous day's. I work overnights 3-4 times a week so anything I eat after midnight I just place on the previous day until breakfast the next morning which I put on the new day.

Salmon is my go to normally as well but basa is definitely been a great alternative.

Basa fillets are my new favorite fish to eat. I bake it in the oven with smoked paprika and have it with mashed sweet potato and a green veggie.

I swear by chipotle powder, cajun seasoning and smoked paprika.

Stunning.

Confident.

Aiming to lose 80 plus lbs.
