Recipes

Does anybody have any recipes they can share.  Im looking for main dish healthy recipes not desserts.  I have a slow cooker but Im not good with marinating so lately Ive just been eating salads and tuna.  If anyone can help that be great.  Thanks.

There is a thread above with recipes. Some are main dishes, some not.  I hope you can find a few that work for you. I don't do much slow cooker stuff. I do use a pressure cooker for roasts and such, they come out sooooo tender and in less time.

Hi Tina, I made something tonight that I am pretty proud of.  Made stuffed potato for my hubby and wanted something low carb for me.  Substituted chopped fresh tomato for the potato for my serving.  Baked the chopped tomato and chopped cubed ham for my version in 375 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes until the tomato was soft.  Topped with cooked chopped broccoli and shredded cheese, quick trip through the microwave to melt the cheese, and enjoy......No idea on the calorie or carb count, but protein in the ham and cheese and tomato and broccoli are both low cal.

Not sure if you can handle chees post op but if so here is a Vegetable Lasagna recipe.  Super easy to make and delicious.

I would advise maybe saute them a bit to reduce the water in them.  I just used them raw and so the lasagna was a bit wet but delicious still.  My 5yr old loved it and even helped make it.  It was super simple.  You just:

-Preheat oven to 400 degrees

In a 9x9 pan, layer (lined with foil for easy clean up): Starting with a layer of sauce.
 
-1/2 med egg plant,
- 1/4 each (green & orange) bells
- 8 baby Bella mushroom
- 2cups raw spinach
- 1/4 med purple onion
- 1/2 each (yellow & green) zucchini
- 1 jar pasta sauce (low sodium)
- 4oz roasted red pepper

- 1 1/2 c ricotta (skim milk) mixed with Italian herbs and garlic powder to taste adding 1/4 c  parmesan cheese and drip little spoons over the veggies and spread out

-then repeat the process.

-Top with 1 c Reduced fat mozzarella.  (I used Sargentino Italian 4 blend)

Bake for an hour with foil covering cheese to prevent burning.  Once done remove the foil and let bake until cheese is bubbling

In total I probably used half of each item, 8 mushrooms maybe a quarter of the egg plant and an entire jar of sauce.  This should serve 6 nice portions or 4 large portions.
