Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hi all ~ I thought we could try having a weekly discussion question to spark ideas and conversation amongst the members. So without further ado.... What are your favorite foods during fall/autumn? Could be certain spices, recipes, comfort foods, etc...

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hi All, Here's something I love to do in the fall. First I make brown rice and throw in a few things that I have in the house, a little onion and celery, nuts and raisins, whatever sounds good. Then, I cut an acorn squash in half and stuff each side with the brown rice mixture. Bake it for 30-45 minutes and it's delicious. :-) Some people brush the squash with a little oil or butter to keep it from getting too dry, but if you're trying to cut back on oil, that's not necessary.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Fall Foods ~ Hands down, chowders and biscuits or bread. Yum. For definition, to me a chowder is a thick soup. I used to love the flavor of clam chowder when I ate it, though I spent much time picking out the clams even with I did eat meat! It was the texture. But I can dig into split pea, vegetable, potato, corn, etc.... as long as it is thick, hot and yummy. I realize I did not post the recipes this week end, so I will try to do that this week, and I will add a white bean and kale soup (chowder) recipe that is yummy!

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 My favorites are walnuts and/or pine nuts. :-) Best, Chris zen white wrote: > what knid of nuts would be good? > > Chris Taylor <cloudbursting wrote: Hi All, > > Here's something I love to do in the fall.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 That sounds good (except the raisin part, neither myself nor my partner are fond of them!). You could get all sorts of creative with what you add to the rice " stuffing " . Thanks for the idea! Cindi Chris Taylor <cloudbursting wrote: Hi All, Here's something I love to do in the fall.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 If you're looking to slim down, just be careful how many nuts you'd use as they tend to be pretty high cal. But oh so good! Pine nuts would be yummy in that, you're right!

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Yesterday I was discussing with a friend her ** stew, and I remembered how good it used to be. Are there some good veggie stew recipes out there? (Especially using the " heavier " vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, etc.) Coleen Stay in the know. Pulse on the new .com. Check it out.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Colleen asked, " Are there some good veggie stew recipes out there? (Especially using the " heavier " vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, etc.) " I guess this kind of question points out why we are on this slimming group together. Just like you, I tend to like the starchier vegetables. The starchy vegetables, with their fiber content, are a big improvement over pasta, and baked goods and recipes with sugar and other simple sugars. However, when we eat more of the vegetables that are not so heavy (salads, lighter stews, etc.), or that have more protein (eg. beans) we will have better luck losing weight. In my case I need to reduce portion sizes, and have less starch. I have 30 or so pounds to go. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ from Maida Citizens for Pets in Condos, Inc. www.petsincondos.org - a Florida non-profit corporation South Florida Vegetarian Events www.soflavegevents.net <http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/gateway.aspx?S=5176697856> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
