I tred a new recipe today that was fabulous!! I got it from my old WW cookbook!! Thai Beef Salad    serves 4 (or more for wls patients) 10 oz lean boneless beef loin, cut into 1/4" strips (I froze it for about 15 minutes to ease cutting) 1/2 cup finely diced onion 3 tbs reduced sodium soy sauce 2 tbs minced, deveined seeded jalepeno pepper (wear gloves or don't touch your face!!) 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 tsp minced fresh ginger root (I grated mine on a microplane grater) 1 cup bean sprouts 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro 2 tsp sesame oil 8 cups baby spinach leaves (I omitted this since I am not cleared to eat uncooked greens yet) Spray large nonstick skillet with Pam; heat. Add beef, cook over med-hi heat stirring constantly for about 30 secs, until no longer pink. Add onion, soy sauce, jalepeno, garlic & ginger; cook stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until onion is softened. Remove from heat add cilantro, bean sprouts & oil - toss to combine. Divide spinach evenly into 4 bowls, top each portion of spinach with 1/4 of the beef mixture.

This was really good!!! I hope you enjoy it!! Cece

Max is a totally wired lunatic! It's so hard to put down one of our best friends. You and Princess were blessed to have 19 years together. Diana
