Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Maryann, You've given me some interesting ideas. I'm curious about whether you get hungry on this menu. I think I would get very hungry. Kim , " Maryann " <njitaliana wrote: > > Anyone care to share menus to give each other ideas?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Looks good Maryann! Here are the main meals I've selected to make this week. Ratatouille (tonight's dinner) Seitan with cashews Chard & cheddar omelet Marinated cherry tomatoes over Provolone bread Tomato eggplant spread on parmesan toasts Eggplant & mozzarella sandwiches As you may notice, not all of them are exactly slimming :-). We are inundated with tomatoes and eggplant right now so I found some new ideas we hadn't tried. For snacks, we have apples, pears & grapes right now and I eat a banana every morning. I usually have a granola bar type thing or a slice of baked tofu during the day for an energy boast late morning.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Cindi, These look so good. I'm allergic to wheat, corn and soy, so it limits a of my choices. How do you make your ratatouille?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 We are at one of those stages when there is not much time for cooking. I am out at least three weeknights, and try to get my shopping done one of the others, so four nights a week need to be things that take 20 minutes or less prep. Veggie burgers, tacos/taco salad, frozen waffles, pizza, chili, curry, pitas, wraps, pasta, eggs, that sort of thing. There's usually a salad in the fridge, which doubles as fillings for wraps and such. Raw fruits and veggies for snacks and meals, some yogurt, cold cereal or toast for breakfasts. Frozen and canned veggies to add to meals. I try to do a bit more cooking on Sunday - things like squash, baked potato, etc., hopefully leaving us with leftovers for lunch. We are trying to enjoy a few more picnics/bbq's on Saturdays before the weather gets much colder (we have already had frost and the leaves are changing colour). Some things like taco salad are big hits and only take five minutes to get on the table (grab the chips, grab the salad, dressing, ff sour cream, salsa, hot sauce from the fridge, heat up a can of beans while grating cheese if we want it, and it's ready to go.)

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I really wish I could do that, but so much of the easy stuff has wheat, corn, soy or lots of sodium in it, and I can't eat any of that. Fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds, beans and certain whole grains are about all I can eat. And I can't eat too many grains or it stops my weight loss. Still, I enjoy this way of eating. Once I add dairy and eggwhites back in, that will at least be a little easier.
