Topic: RE: Spiralizer

I was given one for Christmas for my Kitchenaid and I LOVE it!  I've used it almost every day since unwrapping it.  With the gift I was also given a cookbook called Insprialized that I also love!  I then found the cookbook author has a blog with great recipes and they sell a spirializer on it.  

I will say that after working with mine so far I found it won't do a rutabaga - it seems to be too hard for the Kitchenaid blade.  I did make this recipe for cauliflower tabouleh that totally rocked!

Topic: Spiralizer

I am looking to buy a spiralizer. There are so many on the market, does anyone have a recommendation?

Topic: Quick pot pie without crust

My wife made some turkey for Thanksgiving and  we had plenty of leftovers.

 

My wife decided to make a pot pie with the leftover turkey and threw some things together and it was delicious.  It made 3 days worth of meals and I loved every one of those meals.

 

I decided today to try it without pie crust to see if it would be as good.  It is fantastic so thought I'd share and see what you thought.

 

It takes about 6 minutes to put it all together and will last a few days.

 

 

Ingredients:

 

10 oz can of turkey (or same size chicken if you prefer)

 

10 oz bag of steamable frozen mixed vegetables (I use the Birdseye)

 

1 can of cream of chicken soup

 

1 cup of shredded cheese

 

 

Put the mixed vegetables in the microwave to steam according to package instructions

 

Drain the canned turkey and mix with all the other ingredients in a bowl, mix well

 

Add the mixed vegetables after they complete microwaving and have set the suggested 1 minute.

 

Mix again

 

 

Take a portion to heat in microwave and refrigerate the rest for more meals.

Topic: RE: Crock pot

I like things that can be made into multiple meals.   This can be used for three meals.

 

Large pork loin.  (I buy at Sams club, for 15 dollars I get enough to do this recipe twice.  split in half, freeze one half for another week)

Large container of salsa.

 

Place 3-4 lb loin in the crock pot.

Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste.

Cover with salsa.  Cook for 6-8 hours on high, until the pork shreds.  Can even start with frozen meat, takes longer.

 

First day:

Serve shredded port with veggies, or over rice/noodles/quinoa.

 

Second day:

Make shreded pork tacos.

 

Third day:

remove salsa, shred remaining meat, and add BBQ - for pulled pork.

I have to add reduced fat cheddar cheese sticks by Sargento or pickles.  The pickles don't add anything in the way of protein but are low in calories and fat and so dang good.

Making this tonight after work!  Might add some scallions so it's got a wee bit of green.

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!
