Garlic Lentils in the rice cooker

2-3 cloves of garlic minced

1tbs olive oil

2 cups Water

3/4 cups lentils

put olive oil and garlic in rice cooker and set on cook. Cook until garlic is brown (2 minutesish)stirring frequently. Add water and lentils and cook about 20 minutes with lid on. Season with salt and pepper. Yummers!

This was my first time ever eating lentils and they were pretty good.

I like lentil Soup cooked with a can of diced tomatoes, a diced onion, a few carrots sliced up, garlic, s&p, one bayleaf and a lemon cut in half.

Boil it till it's all squishy. No fat.

Split pea:

Bag of split peas

3 carrots, sliced

1 onion, diced

garlic

S & P

and a Tablespoon of dried sage.

Bring it to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for a few hours.

I made a pot of Potato Leek soup today too thanks to you. It's my lunch tomorrow. Not much Protein. Ideas for adding some? Eat tuna and cracker with?

Thanks for sparing us "snatch". It's appreciated.

And BG, you vegan girl you,

If you want some ideas, toss me a few ingredients and I'll toss you a recipe. Kind of fun. I used to run a vegetarian restaurant for years and years and part of what I did was cook...and it's a place known for Soups so I have a bunch of Soup recipes in my head...

Peas taste like ass to me. Well what I imagine ass would taste like.

I have some protien ideas but somehow I don't think you would go for them =) I have stopped the protien thing since my vegetarianess started so I really am not much help in that department. The funny thing is thoguh that since I went veggie and I get much less protien, my Hair loss has decreased majorly.

I have dirtier words than snatch. You know I am not very PC.

Okay, I must confess...

It has taken me several days, but I have read almost all of this thread! You guys are the funniest people! It's kinda cool to see how far you all have come. I just wish I were around back then to share it with you...:cry:

Oh I get plenty of hot steamy meat....

Oh you mean like food? Not really. The only time I miss it is when it is like a small ingrediant in something, like bacon bits in loaded potato Soup, or pepperoni on a pizza. I don't crave a big slab of flesh ever.

As for the vegan part, not quite yet. I am vegetarian and I strive to be vegan but it is really hard. I stopped drinking milk but I really like cheese. Plus it is hard to eat out in a resteraunt when you don't eat eggs and dairy (hehe I said eat out). I hope one day to get there and I am really trying but I am not 100% there yet.

HP burning those chickens was great...A picture's worth a thousand words!

So may I ask why you decided to go vegetarian? Health? PETA?

I've thought about it before, but I already have a hard time cooking, etc. what would I eat??

      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.
