John Magness Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 9:11 AM That's only 4 meals Kim! Ever put oatmeal in your meatloaf as a thickener? Tastey & less GI than using regular old bread crumbs. Nothing does a chuck roast like a crock pot. Take a 2lb. roast, a packet of Lipton onion soup mix, cup of water, onion, potatos, carrots, black pepper, turn that dude on & let it work it's magic! Starting to get hungry all ready...

Kim Baugher Gold Member Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 9:31 AM Pico de Gallo 2 large cans chopped tomatoes with juice 1/4 to 1/2c lime juice (to taste - I like key lime juice) Chopped fresh cilantro 1 large red onion, chopped 2 jalapeno peppers, minced (you can add more or sub in a milder or hotter pepper, or canned chipotles) Salt and pepper to taste Combine ingredients. Ta-da. Tastes even better the next day. Goes great on chicken or anything else you want to be less bland. I've substituted mangoes for the tomato before, it's a good variation.

JAG Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 9:33 AM Salsa Chicken. Dice 1-2 chicken breasts saute in pan with butter, garlic and habenero. Cook some plain old white rice. After rice it cooked mix in your favorite salsa. Serve the chicken on the bed of rice/salsa you just made. Top with chedderjack cheese and maybe a dab of sourcream.

Kim Baugher Gold Member Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 9:33 AM LOL, I know, it's only 4 meals, I blew through the meat loaves in like 2 days. But you can always double (or triple) the recipe. Oatmeal sounds good - I usually leave bread out in case I want to cut down on the carbs, but I'll give it a try sometime. Pot roast is awesome, I may make that next.

Z Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 9:47 AM I cook everything by taste and feel, so not sure about ingredient quantities - learned a lot from mu Sicilian grandmother and countless hours of cooking shows (I also did some cooking at an Italian restaurant, while I was in college). Breakfast: Power Griddle Cakes (last for a few days): egg whites, oatmeal, protein powder (vanilla), cinnamon, raisins Dinner/Lunch: Hearty Italian Meat sauce (from my grandma with modification by me): [fresh everything] - olive oil, hand-crushed peeled tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, garlic, onions, red wine - preferably a Chianti, sugar (just enough to cut the acidity of the tomatoes and help prevent heartburn), small amount salt/pepper Meat - ground beef, onions, garlic, oregano, eggs Cook/fry the meat(balls) in the olive oil with fresh garlic. Meanhwile, slow simmer the sauce to small bubbling. Pour the meat and juices into the sauce and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Good over pasta, rice, potatoes, or by itself. If anyone wants, email me, and I cna get more specific on quantities of ingredients.

JAG Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 9:52 AM Alittle something for the lighter side. Cut 4-5 ROMA tomatos into wedges and dice up approx 4-5oz FRESH mozzarella. Put into a bowl and drizzle basalmic vinigar and EXTRA virgin olive oil over the top. The word in caps are important to follow for the ingredients. Otherwise you'll lose the effect.

John Magness Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 9:54 AM ..."Pico de Gallo"... What the hell did you just call me??? Here's another crock pot beauty! 6-10 pheasants, large can of saurkraut, diced tomatos. You know it's done when you pick up one of the pheasants & the meat just falls off the bone. Yum-a-dum-dum!

Kim Baugher Gold Member Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 9:59 AM Chili 2lbs lean meat (ground buffalo or ground chicken works great) 1 can tomatoes, whole, with juice 1 can crushed tomatoes 1 can low sodium beef broth 2 medium cans black beans, drained Chili powder to taste (I use close to a cup, some may not like it that strong) 2 tbsp cumin 2 medium onions, chopped 6 cloves garlic, minced fine or crushed 1 beer Salt and pepper to taste In a pot, brown meat off in batches (do not crowd pan) in small amount of oil - remove the browned meat and hold it in a bowl or something to make room for the next batch. Once the meat is all browned, add some more oil and onions to the pot and cook til transluscent. Add garlic, cook 1 minute more. Return meat to pot. Add chili power, cumin, tomatoes, beef broth, and beer. Allow mixture to simmer uncovered - just let it cook until it gets thicker. Add black beans about 30-40 minutes into cooking. The flavors meld well if you leave the chili in the fridge overnight. This stuff goes great on macaroni noodles or on rice.

Kim Baugher Gold Member Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 10:25 AM Eric, I get my buffalo from Whole Foods. I imagine you can get it from Trader Joe's, too. One buffalo sirloin steak has 60g of protein and maybe 3-4g of fat... good stuff.

John Magness Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 10:28 AM From a buffalo, silly! Some butchers will carry it. Go to a health food store or some place like this: http://www.junglejims.com/

Kim Baugher Gold Member Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 10:47 AM From a buffalo, silly! Be careful, they don't give up their meat willingly.

R. Adrian Reilly Guest How About Ground Walnuts In The Buffalo Loaf? Monday, October 20, 2003 11:13 AM Instead of the oatmeal. It's more "Paleo" than oatmeal. That's how I make Buffalo Loaf. I also include whole fresh cranberries (an acquired taste for many, I'm sure), so that I have -- in effect -- "Pemmican". I've also mixed the buffalo with ground venison or ground turkey. These mixtures also make for terrific meatballs (in which case I also add whole pine nuts)>

R. Adrian Reilly Guest Is Honey a Good Substitute for the Sugar? Monday, October 20, 2003 11:18 AM I hadn't though to put sugar in pasta sauce, whic is a great tip! Would honey be a good substitute?

Boris Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 11:19 AM Chicken Caesar Salad 1-2lbs boneless chicken breast cut into thin strips lettuce carrot spinach 2 hardboiled eggs, diced Newman's Own Caesar Salad Dressing In a pan, fry chicken breast in olive oil, adding spices (garlic powder, salt, pepper, allspice, lowry's). top salad with chicken and dressing. Wa-lah...better than most restaurants.

Z Guest Is Honey a Good Substitute for the Sugar? Monday, October 20, 2003 11:28 AM I've never tried honey - may be too "syrupy". I typically only add a "four-finger" grab (e.g., amount of sugar that I can grab with 4 fingers) or two for a full-size pot of sauce. Any more, and the sauce gets too sweet (especially if you use sweet tomatoes instead of plum tomatoes).

JAG Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 12:00 PM Okay, turkey hoagies 1lb shaved deli turkey, saute in butter with green pepper and green onion. Add diced tomato after cooking serve on a hoagie w/chedder jack.

GirlSquatter Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 2:40 PM Here's my quick workday breakfast sandwich: 4 egg whites, 1 egg yolk scrambled; 1 whole wheat pita bread, cut into two pockets; 2 strips (about 2 oz) lox (smoked salmon). Place lox in pita. Scramble eggs. Shove scrambled eggs in pita. Eat while running to subway. Total preparation time, about 5 minutes. Much more filling and definitely healthier than a bagel and cream cheese (the traditional breakfast of my people).

Phillip H Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 2:51 PM Strawbarry Oatmeal 1 1/2 cup of whole oatmeal. 8 frozen strawberries (I get them in a bag from Costco) 2 cups water Microwave in a glass bowl covered for about 4 minutes, or when the oatmeals begins to rise. Add Splenda or brown sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of milk (Whey vanilla powder is even better!) Heavenly breakfast!

Phillip H Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 2:56 PM Girlsquatter, Where can I get that part of the recipe that calls for a subway here in California? ;)

Razorman Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 5:52 PM RE: Place lox in pita. Scramble eggs. Shove scrambled eggs in pita. Eat while running to subway. If you're heading to Subway, why not just buy a sandwich there?

Rob30 Guest Hey Z Monday, October 20, 2003 7:18 PM You ever try throwing some allspice into that meat sauce recipe? It sounds a lot like the one I use, minus the sugar, plus a teaspoon of allspice...it counteracts the red wine nicely.

Joe Skopec Gold Member Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 8:36 PM Soak 6 boned, skinned chicken breasts and a couple of pounds of cut-up beef in Bragg Liquid Amino Acids for an hour. Nothing compares. Use some hardwood or natural charcoal and make a fire in a smoker. Dump a quart of water, a beer and the Bragg maranade into the water-pan. Smoke them for about an hour. Fend off neighbors with the dogs. Tomorrow, let the dogs drink the water-pan.

Victor Lahdo Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Monday, October 20, 2003 9:57 PM Kim, WHOLE FOODS KICKS ASS!!! I've got two of them in my area and make it a point to visit either one of them on at least a weekly basis. I've had their buffalo sirloin too--totally awesome! Anyway, I've been making alot of soups lately because I think I have a mild case of bronchitis--it hits the spot bigtime. After I roast a turkey breast I slice off all the meat and boil the carcass for 1 1/2 hours. After the pot cools it goes in the fridge overnight and the fat floating on

the next day can easily be removed. Remove the carcass and bring the broth back to a simmer. Add a bay leaf, a few cloves, some thyme, sea salt, black peppercorns, dices onions, celery, and carrots. Sometimes I add some vegetable dumplings, diced potatoes, vermicelli, or brown basmati rice--whatever you like. Pull the rest of the breast meat off the carcass and add it to the soup--plus some more breast meat to up the protein content. Pour yourself a large serving and sprinkle with some diced scallion and freshly grated pecorino romano cheese. I also poach eggs in my soup for a hearty breakfast.

Boris Guest Pork Seasoned in Soy Sauce, Sake and Ginger Tuesday, October 21, 2003 12:09 AM 1lb Pork Chop (boneless sirloin, top loin, etc...) cut into thin strips and tenderized 1-1.5 tablespoons of ginger in a tube (can be purchased in Asian foods section in many grocery stores) 2-3 tablespoons of soy sauce 2-3 tablespoons of sake In a bowl, marinate pork strips w. ginger, soy sauce, and sake, working the flavor into the pork strips by hand. Fry the marinated pork strips in a frypan w. olive or vegetable oil.

Z Guest Hey Z Tuesday, October 21, 2003 8:30 AM I've never used Allspice. I add some sugar to cut the acidity of the tomatoes.

Gary C. Guest Low Carbsters. Tuesday, October 21, 2003 10:45 AM Heres a low carb version of meatloaf......make your favorite meatloaf as you always do, only instead of using bread crumbs, cracker meal, etc... crush up a bag of pork rinds until very fine, and mix them into the mixture in place of your high carb original recipe.... Also, nothing goes with meatloaf like mashed potatoes... only instead of potatoes, boil two heads of cauliflower until very soft, ad your choice of lipid, be it butter, olive oil, etc, a half cup of heavy cream or half and half, and mix with a hand held electric mixer. Salt and pepper to taste. For those low carbsters with a hankerin for Italian, make a crustless pizza. Use a nonstick pan, get it medium hot, take a cup of mozzarella cheese and spread it evenly on the of the pan. Keep it on the heat and use a thin spatula to lift the edges. When the begins to turn brown, spread a little sugar free tomatoe sauce or pesto over the top, add some pepperoni, whatever you prefer, slide the cheese out onto a plate and let sit for 4 or 5 minutes to stiffen up or flip it over in half, calzone style, and have a crust less calzone. Not exactly Rays or Luigis, but not bad to squelch a temptation.

Kim Baugher Gold Member Low Carbsters. Tuesday, October 21, 2003 11:51 AM Gary, the meatloaf and cauliflower recipes sound good. I'm going to give those a try.

klatt Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Tuesday, October 21, 2003 9:20 PM When I saw this, I remembered a post from a few years ago where Kim said that it was tough to get a _moose_ into a blender... I think someone actually spelled "moose" when asking about a protien shake... ugh

klatt Guest Semi O/T - Recipes Low carb fried chicken Tuesday, October 21, 2003 9:38 PM Heres one.(low carb -- not low fat!) 1. Take chicken parts (legs, wings thighs etc) with skin on. 2. coat them with mayonaise :-) 3. Cover/roll in mixture of ground up pork rinds and parmesan cheese (about 50/50). 4. Deep fry for 10-15 minutes (less for wings, more for thighs etc) 5. (Optional -esp. if they're wings) After frying, I like to drench them in a good quality buffalo sauce (or make your own (with no sugar) with cayanne sauce, mustard, paprika, pepper etc), then I bake/warm them for 10 minutes (while you fry the next batch) so the sauce will stick. I found the recipie on the web somewhere, but the location escapes me now. Very tasty. P.S. Use pork rinds to replace bread crumbs in just about anything...
