Oh I have a million recipes to add to this. I guess the main thing I learned while losing a pretty significant number of pounds is to really really enjoy cooked veggies.
I use a lot of frozen vegetables which are expensive, but save mountains of time. Some ideas:
Dice an onion and a clove or two of garlic really fine. Add a bag of frozen spinach, some salt, black pepper and whatever spices you are in the mood for, then when it is almost cooked add an egg (or to reduce calories even more try just the white, I do it and it’s delicious!) and stir vigorously so the egg doesn’t clump.
Place a bag of whole frozen green beams in a pan, add kosher salt, pepper, onion powder and minced garlic. Bake for a while uncovered at at least 415. You can add sesame seeds for a great taste, but they add fat.
Also for green beans- I use a wok, but a deep frying pan should work- brown onions and fresh garlic, then add the green beans and add some soy sauce and spices.
I basically eat grilled chicken breasts every night, so I have loads of ways to cook them. The basic way is to spray them with Pam and sprinkle with spices. For schwarma type chicken I use pereg schwarma spice- but it’s too spicy for my taste so I use otherspices like salt pepper onion and garlic powder too. Also, sometimes I cut up the chicken halfway through broiling and spray again with Pam then put back in the broiler for another couple of minutes.
Hope this all made sense, I typed it up on my iPod touch so I probable made a bunch of typos…
I’ll try to think of more recipes to post…
