Fall Comfort Foods



Recommended Posts

Here in central Kentucky, autumn came roaring in this week. Its cold, rainy, and definitely feels like hibernation weather.

I got out my crock pot a couple of weeks ago so plan to use it a lot this season. I posted another thread and have gotten some great recipe suggestions.

Today, I made a cup of Harney an Sons Decaf tea and am putting some pumpkin/spice ingredients on this week's shopping list.

What have you found post-op that serves that need for warmth and comfort and still fits in a bariatric plan?

That's an easy one. Beef stew with carrots and peas..and a few cubes of potato as well. Easy on the gravy but enough to make the meat moist. Yummy cold weather comfort food.

Definitely chili. I want to try making white chicken chili that others have talked about. Going to try that tomorrow.

I also like Taco Soup. I usually use very lean ground beef but might try it with chicken or turkey. I haven't made it post-op yet but it should be fine if I leave out the corn. It's taco meat, pinto or ranch style Beans (might be too sweet), can of rotel tomatoes, can of corn (which I will leave out as my surgeon said it doesn't digest well and too starchy), chopped onion, can of chicken broth and a package of ranch dressing mix.

I know a lot of people like pumpkin flavored things (I don't) but I've see recipes for a light pumpkin mouse or cheesecake. It involves mixing pumpkin pie filling with either light cool whip for a mouse or sugar free cheesecake flavored pudding for a cheesecake like dessert
