Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 My husband and I have gone back to Phase one....(for those who are not familiar with SBD....that means no fruit, no pasta, no bread, no rice ) I have had two miserable flops with this weeks recipes. First it was a stuffed portobello. It was horrid. I scraped off all the " stuffed " and just ate the mushroom. The next recipe was Easy Cheesy Broccoli. What a gloppy mess. But, last night, I finally scored! This is a keeper. We are having the leftovers tonight. Red's Vegetable Fritatta. (Sorry, I can't give Red credit, as I don't remember where I got this recipe) 3 low fat Italian Sausage...(I used two Boca Italian Sausage and added some Gimme Lean sausage.) 2 small yellow squash, cut up. 1 large zucchini (didn't have, so used one large yellow squash) 1 large carrot, cut up 1 medium sweet onion, diced 6 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced 6 eggs (I used egg beaters) 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup fresh parmesan cheese Basil and marjoram to taste as well as salt and pepper. 1 cup shredded lf cheddar cheese 1 TB olive oil. Fry sausage in pan and drain well on paper towel. Add olive oil to the pan and saute veggies until almost done. In a large bowl, add eggs, garlic, parmesan and the spices. Add the sausage and veggies to the egg mixture. Oil a casserole dish or pie pan and pour the mixture into it. Sprinkle cheese on top. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30 min or so.** This freezes well after it bakes. You can also change around the veggies to broccoli, peppers, celery... whatever you like. **30 minutes didn't work for me. The edges were done, but the middle was still soft. It was closer to an hour. But, it tasted fantastic. Served with a salad and black bean brownies for desert. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I have tried repeatedly to do SB diet as veg and have a very hard time... I feel like I eat more cheese than I normally would and that feels unhealthy so I abandoned the whole thing. What do you snack on besides (string cheese and pistachios)? , " Sue " <kup wrote: > > My husband and I have gone back to Phase one....(for those who are not > familiar with SBD....that means no fruit, no pasta, no bread, no rice ) > I have had two miserable flops with this weeks recipes.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Our dogs eat the LF string cheese. LOL. I have cottage cheese. Also, salmon muffins (I still eat salmon) Ricotta cheese deserts, fresh ground almond butter and the black bean deserts. I also have V-8 juice.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hi Melissa, I'm not Sue, but this is an interesting point you've raised. When I looked into South Beach ages ago, I felt it wouldn't fit into my life too well. I have had success following the Eat To Live program. I have lost 32 pounds since January. Prior to that I lost another 30 pounds just by making healthy lifestyle changes, like eating more whole grains and having oatmeal for breakfast most days. I still have another 30 or 40 pounds to lose. What's really cool is that I feel so _healthy_. My cholesterol has dropped 81 pts, my type 2 diabetes is reversing itself, and the skin on my hands and feet have that yellow glow you get when they are full of beta carotene (from food, not supplements). Just yesterday a make-up artist told me how beautiful my skin is, though this wasn't true even 4 months ago. (I'm 46 and even my rosacea is much better.) I think it would be an interesting thread to hear what other vegetarians and vegans have done to successfully lose weight and keep it off long term, as SO many diet plans rely on meat and fish or soy substitutes.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hi Sue Would you mind posting the recipe for the black bean brownies you had for dessert with this? That sounds like something different that I would love to try! Have a great day everyone!
