I Dont Know What To Eat! 3 Months Out

[shrinkinmama 14]

Hey every one, I am struggling... i feel like i can get the Protein in but then there is never room for veggies or fruits unless i whip up a smoothie. I miss the crunch and stuff so now i fined myself eating chocolate and potato chips..craving for the sweet and carbs is terrible and i dont want to do my self a diservice so soon after the surgery.. what do you eat on a daily basis?

I like to eat meat and Protein, such as picadillo (Mexican dish with veggies, potatoes, and ground beef) I like to make a lot of stews with meat and salsa and I will throw in some veggies. I eat meatballs with spaghetti sauce, shrimp with alfredo sauce.

Here is something I made tonight.. it is so good!

1 lb ground beef - brown, drain

throw in a 1/2 -1 sweet onion depending on taste

4 garlic cloves chopped

keep cooking for about 5 minutes

add:

2 cans of stewed tomatoes- I cut into at least 1/4s with kitchen shears. Just stir mixture and snip away as you lift up Tomato pieces.

1 big can of kidney beans- juice and all

6 peppercinnis w/ juice from 1/2 the jar. I dice peppercinnis up really small and add seeds and all to pot.

cook on med low for about 30 minutes or simmer until you want to eat it.

I used to add corn to this but don't anymore. You won't miss the corn. You can add more/less peppercinis to adjust the spice of the dish. I love spice and would add more, but hubby isn't that crazy about super hot. This dish is really simple. I made it w/in 30 minutes. You can save even more time if you buy the onions already chopped.

This really hits the "spot" when you are craving something and don't know what!
