Topic: Low carb stuffed mushrooms?
I love mushrooms yet have never tried them stuffed. Was wondering if anyone had any low carb recipes to share? Thanks
Topic: RE: soft foods
Here's what I've been living on for the past week. (just one more week to go!)
Chicken and Pinto Bean Stew
1/2 ground chicken
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 tsp chopped garlic
1-2 Tbs olive oil
1 can stewed tomatoes
chicken broth
1 can pinto beans
Seasonings to your taste (I use worchestershire, La. hot sauce, chili powder, salt & pepper)
1 bay leaf
Lightly brown chicken, onion, bell pepper and garlic in olive oil. Add stewed tomatoes and chicken broth. (I filled the empty can with chicken broth and added that much liquid, but you can judge how much more/less you might need.) Add bay leaf and seasonings. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 30 minutes. Add pinto beans, heat through.
Very easy to prepare and I've had no problems with this dish on the soft food diet.

Topic: Savory Ricotta Pie, OMG goood stuff
I used fromage blanc instead of ricotta since I make my own cheese & had some to use up! I also only used a 9oz box of froz spinach, and salted my tomatoes.. this is sooo good. It will be on regular rotation after my surgery!!

I'm also looking for WLS friendly snacks, post work out snacks, ect. I'm trying to get back on track as I've gained 25#'s from my medications I am on in the last 3-4 months. Crazy!!!!!
Any staples you buy to stock up on while on sale?

Did you start a recipe journal or anything of the sort? Did you maybe bookmark pages of recipes you like? My kids like flavorful meals. We love white wine for cooking and Trader Joe's spices. If there is anything you can recommend more specifically that would be great.

Thank you. Are there any you personally recommend? I need something my whole family will like....picky kids and all. :)
