zucchini recipes ????



Recommended Posts

Anyone have any zucchini recipes? I have 3 from the garden in the kitchen and from the looks of it there will be several more on the way. I love to marinate and grill them, I also love zucchini bread but don't want to turn the oven on

too much. Any suggestions?

zucchini and leek Soup

take 2 large washed leeks, slice them up finely, and grate the zucchinis (about 3 is right).

In a heavy based pan, heat a little olive oil, and fry up some chopped bacon, add the leeks and fry until soft, then add the zucchinis, stir it all around a little. Then add about half a cup to a cup of Water and pop on the lid and turn down the heat. You want to sweat the mix for about 15, 20 minutes, till it sort of all steams and softens up. Then you add stock (broth), just to cover the ingredients - I usually make it with boiling Water and Vegeta vegetable stock - its usually a bit under a litre (sorry, I think litres, sorry). Simmer for half an hour or so, blend it all smooth and stir in about a cup of cream (or evaporated milk if you want to keep fat/calories down). Season to taste too. This is a really really yummy Soup.< /p>

Zucchini Con Queso

1/2 a yellow onion diced

1 jalapeno seeded and chopped

3 zucchini or more depending on size

velveeta

sautee the onion diced zucchini and jalapeno in some olive oil. Mix some velveeta in once zucchini is tender. You kind of have to eyeball the amount of velveeta. It is so yummy. I've also made a meal out of it by adding cooked ground beef and rice.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
