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.

BG- Girl, J is right, you are crass, but I LOVE IT! LOL

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.

(hehe I said eat out). ! LOL She said 'eat out'

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??

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
