Creekimp13 5,840 Posted June 14, 2018 Grilled salmon seems to hit the spot lately. Slap it right on the grill like a steak. I was never a salmon fan before and now I can't seem to get enough of it. I eat it with grilled asparagus, romaine, avocado, peppers, and good tomatoes. Sometimes I shake some potato wedges in olive oil and rosemary, salt and pepper and grill them in a tin foil bag, too. Steel cut oats with dried cherries and pecans. Tofu chili wonton wrapper cupcake lasagna Protein Pasta chicken stir fry Steak salad with swiss and hard boiled egg. 4 Orchids&Dragons, Gundy, GreenTealael and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreenTealael 25,443 Posted June 14, 2018 Kale, nuts, chocolate (cacao) and most surprisingly cottage cheese Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
istytehcrawk 256 Posted June 14, 2018 The wonton lasagnas are the BEST. I use this recipe as a base but make my own sauce (with ground turkey) and use Greek yogurt-based cream cheese instead of ricotta (which I don't like). http://traceysculinaryadventures.com/2013/03/muffin-tin-mini-lasagnas.html I've made them several times; here's a post with more detail: https://www.bariatricpal.com/profile/332142-istytehcrawk/?status=406246&type=status 2 GreenTealael and Thatsexy_67 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not so sure that the pizza would hold up, because they fall apart pretty easily. 1 Chrisb428 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just use Barilla products:) https://www.barilla.com/en-us/product-results/pasta/range/proteinplus/?sort=alpha They're made out of flaxseed, barley, and oats, plus protein-rich chickpeas, lentils, and egg whites, .

GreenTealael 25,443 Posted June 14, 2018 Can I use egg roll sheets also, I happen to have those on hand, or is there some difference nutritionally? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
