Recipe Of The Day! Gazpacho-Smoke Turkey

This is a very economy friendly recipe look below for total cost you will be amaze. Gazpacho, the classic fresh-vegetable salad from Spain that eats like a soup, usually takes a lot of chopping. In this streamlined recipe, most of the chopping is done for you by using canned tomatoes and vegetable juice. Because vegetable juice is a combination of several vegetables, you get most of the garden-fresh quality of a traditional gazpacho in a single ingredient. By adding some smoked turkey, this traditional light soup serves as a hearty, one-pot main-dish meal. For a spicier gazpacho, add a dash of hot pepper sauce. ENJOY!   Total cost: $8.31 Servings: 4   Preparation Time: Approximately 10 minutes   170 Calories Per Serving   check out my blog for more info on this recipe and so many more:thumbup: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

Recipe Of The Day! Watermelon And Grape Kaobos

Summer temperatures mean moving everything outdoors, including your eats! Picnicking is one of the best parts of the season, and it’s a great way to involve the whole family while basking in nature’s beauty. There are three key factors to packing the perfect picnic: each dish should be able to be made ahead of time, not spoil quickly and be transported easily. Steer clear of heavy toppings, sticky sauces and mayo-based recipes—they’ll create a mess and attract insects; the latter can even pose a health risk. Instead, choose items that are easy to eat with your hands (or just with a fork—no knives allowed!) and will be safe to nibble on after an hour or two has passed (assuming you don’t leave the dishes out in the glaring sun—which is never a good idea, regardless of ingredients).   My creative picnic recipes will have everyone at the table asking for more without guilt.   Makes 16 kabobs   Per 1 kabob 71 Calories   CHECK OUT MY BLOG FOR MORE INFO ON THIS RECIPE AND SO MANY MORE:thumbup: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

Having a fill next week!

I'm having my 8th doctor's appointment. In my previous 7 appointments, I have had only 5 fills. On one occasion, I turned down a fill because I still felt tight, and I knew I didn't need it. Last month, my doctor said am doing great -I lost 12 pounds from my last fill, so I did not need one. I lost 80 pounds since my surgery on Oct 26, 2009. I know I need a fill for June because I am feeling a little hungry at times and drinking a lot more liquids. I'm still doing great, BUT IN MY HEAD I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE LOST A LOT MORE - 'grrrrrrr'. I lost only 4 pounds from last month to now, so it's time for my 1/2 cc fill - that's what works for me each time I get my fills. It took some playing around to find what works for me. So I'm going in next Wednesday for my tweaking, that's what the Nurse Practitioner and I call it. I did not lose as much as I had hoped this month. I normally lose anywhere from 8 pounds to 13 pounds a month. I feel great and I'm looking good to. I work out every day, walk 3 miles a day. YOU CAN FOLLOW ME ON MY BLOG. I have a lot of tips, workout exercises that I do and wonderful recipes. I love to cook, always have. I love to have dinner parties. My friends and family tell me that I should go into catering. I had to find a way to keep doing what I love the most, and that's cooking. Ok, and eating.. lol. Seeing how I do not eat as much anymore, I love to watch others enjoy my cooking. I have recipes of the day on my blog and a lot more, so have a look and let me know if it's helpful to you. :smile2: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

Recipe Of The Day! BBQ Turkey Top With A Mustard Sauce

Barbecued turkey legs and thighs. I grew up with plenty of meals made with turkey legs because they feed a lot, and they're an inexpensive source of protein. But no matter what time of year we're having turkey legs, as much as I love turkey, the taste always reminds me of Thanksgiving. In this preparation however, slowly cooked on a grill, and basted with a tangy, strong, sweet, sour yellow mustard-based barbecue sauce, the turkey doesn't taste anything like Thanksgiving turkey. It just absorbs the smokiness from the grill and the tang from the sauce. Outside of the holiday bird, this is hands down the best turkey I've ever had.   Makes 4-8 Serves 150 calories per serving   CHECK OUT MY BLOG FOR MORE INFO ON THIS RECIPE AND SO MANY MORE :smile2: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

Going in for a fill today!

Looking forward to today - I'm getting my 6th fill - 1/2 cc, which works for me. This has been a very slow month for me losing weight, the scale has not moved much - I know I lost at least 4 pounds - maybe more than that, I'll find out when I get to the doctor today.   But on the upside, I'm very grateful and happy for all the weight I have lost, and I view the scale as my friend, not my enemy.   I'm still cooking my delicious meals - I so love my cooking, lol. I've been a cook for a long time, and I'm so happy I'm still able to do it - and to share my passion of cooking with all my friends and family and all my blogger friends.   So untill I come back, that's all for now.   :eek:

Recipe Of The Day! Bittersweet Chocolate Truffles With A Hit Of-Orange

While orange adds an exotic note, much of the flavor of this simple yet sophisticated candie comes from the chocolate, so choose a semisweet or bittersweet with a flavor and level of sweetness you enjoy. The recipe makes a big batch of truffles - plenty for gift-giving. Although they should be stored in the refrigerator, they're best served after sitting at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Believe it or not this is a low calorie treat. Well worth the time to prepare.   4 dozen (1-inch) truffles Active Time: 1 1/2 hours Total Time: 12 hours (including 10 1/2 hours chilling time) Per truffle: 61 calories   CHECK OUT MY BLOG FOR MORE INFO ON THIS RECIPE AND SO MANY MORE:thumbup: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/
