Happy St. Patrick's Day
Irish Stew is a traditional Irish dish, but can sometimes be high in fat and calories if the recipe doesn’t call for lean beef. You can click on this link for a recipe that uses lean beef and limits added fats.
For bariatric patients, cut the potatoes in half and you’ll have a healthy balance of the protein and carbohydrates for a meal. The meat is cooked in broth, which makes it tender. This recipe can be used by patients that haven’t started the pre-surgery liquid diet or those that are six months past surgery.
When contemplating your nutrition, keep in mind this Irish proverb: A handful of skill is better than a bagful of gold. Practicing your skills will lead to better health, which is as good as a bagful of gold.

This makes me miss corn-beef and cabbage! I use to LOVE that stuff but I always had to have cornbread with it
it's probably to salty now and fattening...maybe just the cabbage and turkey?
