Make Crepes (using your favorite recipe)
Saute some diced apple with a little unsweetened apple sauce until soft.
Stuff the crepes with the apple filling, walnuts, and a bit of crumbled Gorgonzola. If you don't have Gorgonzola, Goat cheese or even Brie would work.
Done!
Or, if not apple recipes- any Fall recipes? My FAVORITE Fall recipe is vegetable beef soup. I know it sounds plain jane, but I make my soup on the day of the first snow fall each year (which is usually in late Fall where i live) & freeze it in small containers to use all winter.
I start with beef stock, then I brown some ground beef (although I'll most likely use turkey this year, since I tend to have a problem with beef since my RNY). Then I add veggies like canned tomatoes, frozen peas, frozen potatoes, frozen green beans, frozen carrots & any other veggie I can find in my freezer. I like frozen veggies as opposed to canned because I like how frozen veggies keep their crunch. I used to put corn in it, but I'm not allowed corn for a year after surgery. If you're allowed corn, by all means- add it. Then i add some different seasonings (I usually don't keep track of which seasonings I add, its whatever I'm in the mood for). I've even sometimes added white beans (which I probably will do this year for the protein!). Vegetable soup is a pretty cheap meal. You could probably find the veggies at a dollar store or buy the store brand and you won't spend over 2-3 bucks a bag. The stock isn't expensive at all.
Anyway, let me know if your favorite either apple recipe or Fall recipe. Thanks!!
Good luck! I'm going to post my thread now, so stop by & you may get more ideas!

Hot Cocoa (13 grams protein)
1 tablespoon Splenda
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
2 tablespoons dried milk powder
8 ounces non-fat milk
Dash salt
Few drops good quality vanilla
Blend Splenda, unsweetened cocoa, dried milk powder and salt in large mug. Blend in milk, stirring until dissolved. Microwave 1 minute on high or until hot. Can also heat in saucepan on stove.
Vanilla Egg Custard
4 large eggs
1 cup skim milk
1 1/2 cups evaporated low-fat or non-fat milk
1/2 cup splenda granular
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Freshly grated nutmeg
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place 6 custard cups or ramekins in a large roasting pan and set aside. Whisk together the eggs, milk, evaporated milk, splenda, vanilla and salt. Pour through a fine mesh sieve (strainer) into a large measuring cup. Divide evenly amoung the custard cups and grate the nutmeg over each one. Pour enough ho****er in the roasting pan to come about halfway up the sides of the custard cups. Bake 25-35 minutes, until the custards are just set in the center. Carefully remove the custards from the water bath and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve chilled.

Go for the GNC brand. They will let you return it if you do not like it. GNC has a really good caramel toffee type protein, if I recal correctly and their chocolate was pretty good, so if they have a coffee/cappucino, it is probably worth a try.
