Veggie Recipes to spice things up???



Recommended Posts

Just went to the farmers market and got some zucchini, squash, spaghetti squash and a whole lot of basil (smelled so good I couldn't pass it up!) Normally I just bake or grill the veggies with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Any new ideas other than simply grilling or making pesto?

Ahh I love summer farmer's markets!

...I can smell the basil now, and it's on the otherside of my house lol mmmm :)

Oh you are making me hungry and inspiring me to go to the farmer's market next week! I LOVE grilled veggies - do you grill them in a pan or on the BBQ or George Foreman?

I read a while back about a recipe using grilled eggplant and portbella mushrooms. I am thinking a stuffed pepper might be good with lots of veggies and your choice of meat.< /p>

Recently I have been addicted to a spinach salad with LF feta cheese, pecans,dried cranberries and sliced strawaberries with low calorie rasberry sald dressing- I had this for lunch for a week and lost weight that week!

I'll cook up zucchini, squash, broccoli and cauliflower, then cook it with ricotta cheese, Pasta sauce and some cheese in a casserole or baking dish. I've been really pleased with it every time I've made it.

We made a lasange with zucchini strips instead of noodle. I used ground turkey for meat and loaded it up with squash, mushrooms, onions, tomatos. It was awesome.

Let' see..since I love it all...I can mention a few ways...

Zucchini bread, ,,fried zuchini(I mean come on we don't have to give everything up)....I like to grill it on the GF with olive oil and salt and pepper. Spaghetti squash can be scraped into strips just like Pasta and ate just like spaghetti. Squash and zucchini can be peeled, boiled and mashed just like potatoes with milk and butter. Zucchini cut thin and steamed or raw just a bit goes great on a sandwhich. Basil can be lightly fried into chips in olive oil and they are crispy and yummy. I love pesto; I use it as a sauce or on a wrap, etc. I had a wrap the other day with basil in the wrap bread part...it was strong and delicious.

      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.
