Docwagon 856 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I know me, maybe Drifter, but would anyone else be interested in sharing some simple to make but healthy recipes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diddums 4,305 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Not sharing per se, but I'm on a bit of a health kick atm so I'm all ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sennex 1,903 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 sure I have to start changing my diet drastically, so I am all for this sidenote: Basmati rice is awesome! Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylebees 242 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I don't know about sharing recipes but I would be willing to discuss some of the meals my wife have started eating for our weight loss. I would have never thought in all my life that I would be eating turkey meatloaf or chicken sausage but I have to say, it's pretty damn good. I'm looking forward to this thread.

Sennex 1,903 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 just to clarify, this is how I feel about all food threads: Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docwagon 856 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Ok, cool. I'll start off with an incredibly easy recipe for breakfast. You make it the night before, put it in the refrigerator, and eat cold the next day. Start with 1/2 cup of each ingredient, but it's irrelevant how much you make as long as you keep the proportions 1/3, 1/3, 1/3. 1/2 cup steel cut oatmeal 1/2 cup skim milk 1/2 cup yogurt (we use Kroger store brand "lite" yogurt, either vanilla or strawberry) Cut up fruit to taste. Bananas, berries, dates, whatever you like. Put all ingredients in a covered glass bowl or tupperware. Stir a bit. Refrigerate. The moisture from the milk and yogurt will soften the oatmeal, and it's ready to eat in the morning with no cooking. Be prepared for some very comfortable poos once you get used to eating this every morning. It's like passing a cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sennex 1,903 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I use greek yogurt, but basically the same recipe Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docwagon 856 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 French fry substitute: Purchase a Jicama. Its a root vegetable that sort of looks like an obese potato. Peel said Jicama. Cut said Jicama into strips about the size of french fries. Spread out on a microwave safe dish. Microwave for 6 minutes. Flip. Microwave another 5 minutes. Check on them, if they are starting to get little brown lines on them they are done. Jicama is slightly sweet and will not need ketchup, but some will want a bit of salt on them. (Be warned, they aren't crunchy like fries, sort of like a soft apple, but they are very tasty and require no oil) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter 851 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Never heard of a Jicama but that sounds interesting, if it's even remotely like fries I'll have to try that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playertd 177 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Not much of a recipe but couscous makes a good filler, cheap and faster than top rammen. I hope it's healthy because I eat a ton of it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docwagon 856 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Two healthy slaw recipes, the first a more traditional side and the second a sweeter alternative (featuring jicama!) http://www.pbs.org/food/fresh-tastes/no-mayo-coleslaw/ and http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Apple-Jicama-Coleslaw/Detail.aspx?evt19=1 (use light miracle whip instead of mayo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylebees 242 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 http://www.skinnytaste.com/ I had posted this website but it seems that the post was deleted with all that's been happening here. My wife uses this website for many of her recipes. I highly recommend it. Some really quality recipes and most of them have tasted great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
