What did you have? We can help each other stick closer to the renal diet (if that is your goal) or just get new and fresh ideas for meals.
-
We had grilled steak (with salt-free seasoning), egg noodles with a dab of Smart Balance for a "sauce," a few boiled shrimp, steamed (formerly frozen) broccoli, canned green beans (salt-free variety). Maybe a fruit cup for dessert.
I don't think that's too far away from the renal diet. Maybe should have chosen either broccoli or green beans, not both.

Ohhhhh Please dont make me tell you what i made for dinner, i take the fizzith your honor. Lets put it this way, TODAY IS THE FIRST RAIDER GAME...gonna gotta ring in the season with an all out mexican buffett, company is coming but the funny thing is, i am too damn tired to eat anything, i've been cooking and cleaning all damn day, now i want to go to sleep, lol, GO RAIDERS, MELISSAJEAN WHERE ARE YA GIRLFRIEND... LET'S DO THIS :beer1;
Let's go Raiders, lets go!!

-
LOL Goofynina! When you get back to regular cooking be sure and post what you have - I run out of ideas!
-
Supper tonight--chicken breast pan fried in small amount of olive oil, steamed cauliflower with light parkay for seasoning, lettuce salad with light raspberry vinaigrette and an apple for dessert.
-
Sounds yummy Ginger. :)
-
Hubby made shells with ham in them. I threw some cheese on it and ate it. Not bad.
-
I don't know if what I eat is right .. but my Phosphate has been good for 2 months so at least I am eating right for about a week before bloodwork lol :clap;
I like chicken and turkey pitas and aslo like to eat yolk-free noodles with tuna (in water is not as bad as in oil) with mayo (yes I know mayo is made with whole egg .. that is what the phosphate binders are for ;)).
I also eat a lot of sandwiches (white bread only though).
And lots of rice and corn!
My diet is pretty boring .. but once in awhile (when it is NOT near bloodwork day) I will be bad and have McD's fish or chicken or I will have Pizza Hut pizza (only 2 slices) with my binders as long as I have someone to share the rest of the pizza with (or I may eat too much of it :-[).
-
Tonight I made
breaded, baked catfish nuggets
rice
canned green beans and mushrooms
frozen baby vegetable medley
kool-aid (my favorite part LOL)
Not bad, although really should not have used store breadcrumbs, because they have salt and other no-no things in them. I really didn't have the time or inclination to make my own though. ;)
-
I had Bowtie Noodles with hamburger and a "tiny" bit of Prego mixed in. Just enough to make it orange. Coleslaw, garlic bread. Graham Crackers with Spun Honey on them for dessert. And of course my binders.

Yes, believe it or not I'm "supposed" to gain weight. They want me to add calories to my diet. I've never in my life been told that! But, spun honey is:
1 cup honey
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
All blended together. Either room temperature or refrigerated. Not recommended for diabetics!! ;)
-
mmmm Armenian Barbecue tonight from Sam's Flaming Grill...rotisserie chicken plate, rotisserie beef plate, and falafel plate with rice, yogurt, salad, and a barbecued tomato...I know that is a dirty word but it was great! Lunch was Amagi Japanese restaurant...lunch combo beef and tempura with salad bar, miso soup, and rice. I was just wondering if I should get into the Bunny Tracks but think I'll hold off!

Well tonight I stopped by the new L&L Hawaiian barbecue and picked up the family pack. Thats barbecued beef, barbecued chicken, chicken katsu, a ton of rice, and a half ton of macaroni salad. Its sitting in the oven right now keeping warm and making the house smell like...Hawaiian barbecue...mmmm.
-
We had Mexican takeout tonight.
-
I had one pot wonder tonight.

Ya I remember when I was on the Cycler I was thinking, "Damn I am hungry/thirsty! I want to put a mini-fridge in my bedroom!" ;) :2thumbsup;
-
Tonight was eggs and rice. Not too exciting.
-
Hawaiian barbecue left over from last night so more of that tonight. Will have to come up with something different for tomorrow. Any ideas?
-
Kung Pao, Orange Chicken, white rice and chow mein. I know I know! * Bows head in shame.*
-
Homemade chicken pot pie. Not the ideal meal... but it doesn't have a lot of salt.
-
I came home from dialysis and fell asleep for 3 hours. When I woke up I was starving. I went to the Truck Stop Restaurant and had their Taco Salad. Not really a renal meal, but it was so good. Then I got a piece of berry pie to go home. YUM
-
chicken on the BBQ grill-the grill gives alot of flavor-we have pork ribs and chicken at least once a week-side-dishes are a problem for me-usually its a small salad and Italian bread w no salt butter
-
A new drink called, Muscle Milk -- 32 grams of protein. I have it while I'm on dialysis.
And yes, I took my binders. ;)
-
Thanks,
I had a look at muscle milk on the net and just placed an order.
-

I use the pre-mixed bottle from the local deli. Just make sure it's not the chocolate flavor, because it's too high in potassium. Most other flavors are: about 330 Potassium and 334mg Phosphorus. About three PhosLos. ;)
-
Cytosport has some good stuff. :thumbup; Recent addition of powders to my use is their Cytosport Complete Whey Protein 10lb tub.
-
Tonight is KFC. Again, not a great renal choice. :(
-
I had chicken stirfry with water chestnuts, snowpeas, and chicken marinated in teriyaki sauce. For a side we had rice. Yum. Maybe a little bland for some.. but that's the way I like it.
-
I ate at Bob Evans tonight.
Pc. Chicken, hash browns and cole slaw,
Was good.
-
1pc bacon, 1 egg, 2 pieces of white toast with Spun Honey on them. YUM.
-
Chicken wraps, cobb salad, and a cheese pizza for the keiki.
-
Tonight is baked tilapia (lemon, pepper, touch of butter), steamed jasmine rice, green peas. Water to drink. Not too bad, I think.
-
KFC Chicken breast, coleslaw, sweet corn, biscuit. Graham crackers with spun honey for dessert.
-
Pork ribs, corn on the cob, and baked beans from the kitchen of Mrs. Cam.
-
tonight we had support group for PD and they made some meatballs from the davita cookbook which were quite good, the speaker brought in sammiches from Quiznos (excellent) and Lori, my PD nurse made the apple muffins from the cookbook as well, (highly recommend them) oh, and we washed them down with apple cider and our binders :P (naturally) ::)
-
Better not tell what dinner was tonight. Food to go was what was in it.
-
the later 1/2 of the month I am very good as blood work is the first week of the month. Usually as soon as it is the 20th I try to do everything right. So I have my binders with everything and eat lots of white rice and corn (good thing I am not diabetic!!)
-
We're going to my favorite Mexican restaurant tonight. Who wants to join us?
-
I'm in Livecam (that is only if your buying) ::) WOOHOO, MARGARITA'S :clap;
-
No Nina...Margarita's is good for Sunday Brunch. We're going to Maria Bonita tonight. :2thumbsup;
-
Sunday Brunch?? Friday Dinner?? all the same difference to me, "Top Shelf Margarita PUHLEASE" ::)
-
Me too. I love Mexican food!
-
I have a confession to make. We didn't go out last night. I wimped out at Walmart while picking up frozen lunches for the week and bought a tray of Stouffer's enchiladas...they were very good. Nina...you didn't miss anything. :2thumbsup;

You know those ramen noodles, my wife will make it then add carrots, celery, and hard boiled egg some times she will even add beef. It's actually pretty tasty. Yeah I know high in sodium but it is good.
But getting back to you did you say dry, uncooked? :o
-
I like ramen noodles, but I usually throw away the little packet that comes with them. That is where the sodium is. I boil the vegetables first and then add the noodles. Uncooked? never heard of that.
-
They are really good uncooked. They are actually already cooked, just dried or fried - I forget which. It's like chips sort of. Crunchy, and addictive. Try it one time.
-
Tonight homemade cheeseburgers with A1 sauce with the "works" BUT tomarrow TITOS TACOS! it's been a few weeks, I am going through withdrawals. :o
-
And here i thought i was the only one who liked the Ramen noodles uncooked, glad to see i am not the only one, :P
and i too like to add celery, green onions and boiled eggs with a couple of dashes of hot sauce and a whole heck of a lot of pepper, me loves me pepper :P oh and dont forget the lemon, ohhhh yeaaaah
-
Char Siu Manapua, pork hash, one spring roll, a breadstick, some popcorn, a double cheeseburger, fries, and a diet coke all during Sunset on the Beach, a free Hula show, and a drive around the south shore...Aloha.
-
Wow, Livecam, you're in Hawaii? Anything you eat in Hawaii would taste good! That sounds great!!
-
And here i thought i was the only one who liked the Ramen noodles uncooked, glad to see i am not the only one, :P
Thank you! :D :lol;
-
Not there anymore Mallory :thumbdown;. We just got home and now its back to reality. It was fun while it lasted :thumbup;.
-
Uncooked Ramen noodles...YUM ;) Actually I just eat the broken pieces in the package. Occasionally if not enough of it is broken, I'll brake more off. LOL
I had to work from 3-7 tonight so I eat just before work. I don't like to eat much after work. Today I had Long John Silvers. 2 fish, 1 chicken, 4 shrimp, french fries, cole slaw and 2 hush puppies. Almost finished it all. Oh Yea...I know this is bad. 2 medium cups of Mountain Dew. :o :'( took 3 Phoslo w/ meal.......
-
Last night.
Buffalo burger
white rice :-X
peas
applesauce
Coca Cola
-
Tonight it is seafood lasagne for me and rotisserie chicken and rice for Joe. Unfortunately I looked on the label for the rotisserie chicken and they put sodium phosphates somewhere in that chicken damnit! Don't know why they just can't make something wholesome for once. >:(
-
Chicken and mac and cheese
-
5 oz steak.
two Broccoli spears (about 2 oz.)
couscous
Iced coffee
and later ... apple pie (just the apple filling)
-
I am cooking our Thanksgiving dinner today.. have dialysis tomorrow :P
We are having..
Turkey
Stuffing
Gravy
Potatoes (soaked for a few hours.. of course)
Turnip
Green beans
Cranberry sauce
dinner rolls
and Homemade Apple Pie..
Yummmmmm! :clap; :2thumbsup; :beer1;
-
today for Thanksgiving dinner I suspect (by my mom's email) we will have store bought already cooked chicken from the hot deli which means it will have their season already on it. Also my mom will have her mashed potatoes with 1/2 and 1/2 cream in it. Also home made mushroom gravy.
I know my mom doesn't remember my diet so there is no point bringing it up. I just make sure to have my binders on me and stay away from those potatoes ;)
Good thing I am not diebetic. I can have the corn and she said there will be apple crisp :) Yum!

Zach, I like reading your menus, they always seem so balanced and healthy, but I'm wondering, aren't you hungry? Joe would never be able to eat only what you eat and be satisfied. Is it just a matter of getting used to smaller portions, or what?
-

Yeah I know huh! When ever I read Zachs posts I feel guilty :o AND hungry. I mean damn 5 oz steak? Now 15 oz is better >:D BUT that is why Zach will outlive all of us. ;)
"YOU THE MAN ZACH" :beer1;
Now for dinner last night I had "Panda Express" with Orange Chicken, BBQ Pork, and Fried Rice w/ Soy Sauce and a Coke. >:D

I don't eat that well at all. Usually i eat like once a day. Scared to put on weight. Most of the time I eat out. So today I had Wendys.
3 chicken strips
medium fry
medium sprite
sweet & sour sauce
I cant believe what passes for a small, medium and large nowadays. That medium sprite looked more like an extra large to me. Unforunately I drank it all. And I will pay for that tomorrow morning.

Yes it's portion size, but it's also eating more of the side dish--pasta/rice/couscous to fill me up.
I eat three meals a day plus two snacks ... usually protein bars. So it seems like I'm always eating!!
I made a general meal plan for myself that has the the necessary K/DOQE nutritional guidelines for calories and protein, plus my daily limit of phosphorus and potassium. I couldn't get the dietitian to help me whatsoever. The meal plan helps me stay within the necessary limits.
I don't go out often, but when I do, such as to the OUTBACK, I order shrimp on the BBQ, steak and a lobster tail! And take about four PhosLo.
:beer1;
-
Can we see some of your meal plans?
Is anyone else bothered by indigestion a couple of hours after eating?

If you are worried about putting on weight then why are you going to Wendys? You can eat much more than that (of other food) and not put on weight.
-
But Wendys mmmmmmm.....
Excuse me I am drooling over here.
-
But Wendys mmmmmmm.....
Excuse me I am drooling over here.
To me Wendys is way better than McDonalds or Burger King, however once in a while I will crave a Big Mac or a Whopper. But Wendys really is good and they 5 nuggets for 99cents can't be beat, I usually get 3 or 4 orders. :o
DISCLAIMER: If my Dietician is reading this, I am JUST JOKING I promise.
-
Tonight I Had Risotto, with Chicken, Mushroom, Spinach, Sun Dried Tomato, Asparagus, Zucchini.
You Gotta Keep Watching It and Stirring It But Its Worth The Wait!

I am taking Renagels and i get heartburn like a son-of-a-gun, especially as soon as i hook up and lay down, and it lasts for about 4 hours, not consistent, it goes away then returns, never had it before until they switched me from Fosrenol to Renagel. :banghead;
-
Today for lunch a Los Angeles institution, Pinks...chili dog, New York dog, and coleslaw Tonight for dinner, Boston Market...Sirloin, creamed spinach (without e coli), coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, and a cookie little Cam baked yesterday.
-
I take omeprazole twice a day for indigestion, reflux and ulcers. I rarely get any symptoms now. Although if I miss just one dose, it comes back straight away and takes a few days for it to settle again.
-
Can we see some of your meal plans?
Here is a day plan I wrote on MS Excel. BigSky has posted a link to a much better meal program.
Go to dietpower.com and download the free software or order the free trial cd. It should be good for two weeks before it locks you out. It is very helpful.
It sucks :(but measure/weigh everything you eat and then input it into the program. Throughout the day and at each days end you can see a rough amount of how much PO4 you are taking in.
-
Thx Zack! I think we are ALL interested because you sure seem to have it all together and make it look easy ;) :lol; :thx; :angel; :cuddle; :2thumbsup;
I've been hearing you mention Smart Balance before. What exactly is that? Is that like some sort of cereal?
Also I thought all protein bars (or what ever that Zone bar is) were too high in Potassium to look at. Thanks for all your input! :2thumbsup; :thx;
-
Smart Balance is a butter substitute but it's better than margarine because it doesn't the trans fat stuff. Plus it's supposed to actually IMPROVE your cholesterol. We've been using it for a long time now, it tastes good, you can cook with it just fine, I'm glad it's at least one thing we're doing right LOL.

Honestly, no. Its just that I've pretty much forgotten about the renal diet. I remember doing it many moons ago but the memory is getting fuzzy. What is it about Tito's Tacos anyway? The first time I hear of members from here going there I'll be there too. When are we going?
-
So is Tito's Tacos a Fast Food Chain. Cuz I've never heard of it till coming on here. But Hey....I loves my Taco Bell ! ! ! ! ;D

-
Tito's Tacos is what Epoman considers to be the best tacos in LA. Hard to believe anyone can beat the good ol' Taco Bell tacos but i wouldn't tell him that, lol, he gets all crazy if you even mention Taco Bell. When i go to LA to meet Epoman, we will be going to Tito's so Livecam, we will keep ya posted :thumbup;
-
Taco Bell is all we have for tacos in Canada :P
-
We have so many Mom and Pop taco places in So California it is getting ridiculous! I like Taco Bell tacos. But prefer Del Taco for french fries.

Goofynina and I will be going together real soon. They are very good, IMHO and the opinion of the 50-75 people in line at ANY time of the day. http://www.titostacos.com/ (lower your volume first)
;D ;musicalnote; I love Tito's Tacos, you'll Tito's too!. I love Tito's Taco what esle can you do! The only thing better than a Tito's Taco is TWO. ;musicalnote; ;D
You should go livecam or wait and go with goofnina and I, you are close enough. But JUST order the Taco's with cheese. The other menu items are so/so they are famous for their TACOS!
-
Can I meet you all there???? I love tacos. I live in So. CA, too.
-
Tonight we are having browned ground beef and onions, either with c. of mushroom soup or a gravy I am going to attempt to make, over egg noodles. Probably carrots on the side.

-
That reminds me, my mums recipe for lamb tacos would be suitable for the renal diet. Should I post it in the recipe section? You can use it for nacho's and all the other mexican type things like that.

oh and btw, i love miracle whip in my bologna sammiches and the pepper jack cheese sounds like an awesome touch, :thumbup; but with my phosphorus the way it is, i wouldnt dare :banghead;
-
Miracle whip in your sandwhich? I was gonna say thats strange but then I like cottage cheese with barbecue sauce.
-
I LOVE cottege cheese and bbq sauce. Cottege and ketchup is just as good.
Also, Goofynina....I mailed a dead goldfish once. Not a problem. Just don't tell them.
-
Mayo on a sandwich strange LOL. ??? But BBQ sauce on cottage cheese, that's just wrong. :D

I LOVE cottege cheese and bbq sauce. Cottege and ketchup is just as good.
Also, Goofynina....I mailed a dead goldfish once. Not a problem. Just don't tell them.
A dead goldfish?? I meant that i would eat the taco before i got it to the post office :P ;) lol
-
Barbecue sauce and cottage cheese is one of those things I do when there is nothing else around. I'm hungry now so when are we going to Tito's Tacos?
-
I loooove creamed cottage cheese and vegemite or promite on toast. It is a great filling low fat breakfast which I like to have often. Cottage cheese is a bit high on the K side though.
For everyone who wanted it, I have posted mums taco recipe in the recipe section.
I havent done anything else yet as far as getting a Dx cookbook done. Got alot of things with myself to sort out first.
-
Tonight I had a Dorito and Miralclwhip sandwich. I crave those every know and again. Also a fruit cup and some carrots and ranch. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ So Good :D :lol;
-
Dorito and miracle whip?!? eww! Sounds like my other half with his potato chip, corn chip, twisties etc sandwhiches.
I do love a hot chip sandwhich with tomato sauce or vinegar and lots of marg. Or hot chips and gravy on a bread roll.
What is a fruit cup?
-
Mmm I love chips on sandwiches, although mine usually consist of deli meat and cheese and doritos on top of that. :)
-
What is a fruit cup?
its just a little cup you buy at the store that has pieces of fruit in them. In light or heavy syrup. i get light syrup. I like the ones with cherry, pineapple and pieces of peaches in it.
-
Miracle whip in your sandwhich? I was gonna say thats strange but then I like cottage cheese with barbecue sauce.
I like cottage cheese (1/2) cup with Tabasco Sauce (hot red pepper juice)!

Goolynina, we have got to get together for sandwiches. Maybe a picnic halfway between our houses? I am with you on the Miracle Whip. Love it. Use it on my sandwiches. My hubby hates it. LOL. Can you believe Doritos are upsetting my tummy now??? It sucks. The body wants veggies now. I am sitting here eating a bowl of snap peas microwaved with a little pepper and onion powder over them. Yummy. Weird for me.
-
What's for supper? Nothing! We went to Alpine Village today for about the first time in 3-4 years and partook of their European Brunch. Excellent but filling. Lots and lots of meat as you would expect. I feel like a sausage! Afterwards we went to the beer garden for Octoberfest and I had my yearly two sips of beer from my wife's cup. Don't expect to be intoxicated anytime soon.
-

I like apple slices with Dijon mustard on them. Something about the sweetness of the apple and the hotness of the mustard I really crave. Pre ESRD I used pears but apples are more renal friendly.
-
I know the feeling about liking the sweet and the spicy cuz i love me some crisp cold crunchy red apple with hot devil sauce on them, yummmmmmy, ;) Don't knock it 'til you try it my friends, you too will be hooked, lol, :2thumbsup;
-
Tonight Joe is having eggs and rice, delicately seasoned with Kraft singles and bologna. :P

Kit, maybe your body knows it needs to get ready for that transplant and is telling you something, listen to it girlfriend, NO MORE DORITOS and definetly NO MORE DELTACO FRIES ;) I am going to try and put my "healthy foot" forward also, see what you started, well girlfriend, i want to see you finish it too ;) :) :2thumbsup;
-
My aunt makes cookies with uncooked ramens - something like melted chocolate and peanut butter, then mix the crushed noodles with butterscotch chips and and assortment of nuts and m&M's, then dropped onto waxed paper, I think. >:D (Not healthy for any diet!)
My latest concoction - chocolate covered grapes. Melt dark choc and a dab of peanut butter, pour over chilled, picked grapes in a bowl with a lid. Shake like mad. Open bowl, pour in some powdered sugar, cover and shake again. They turn into fussy-looking little bon-bon things that look like you spent hours making them. So not good for my blood sugar, but oooooh so yummy. My new favorite pot luck dish.
I confess to having quesidillas for dinner - and lots of salsa. And lots of phoslo. (Well, I haven't actually started dialysis yet. I figure I better enjoy these guilty pleasures now, before I have monthly meetings with a dietitian to tell me how bad I'm being.)
-
jbeany, as long as you are aware that phosphate binders dont help with the potassium side of foods, which is important when you do start dialysis!
-
yeah, I know amber, that salsa is about to become a big no-no, isn't it? :P
I've been reading food labels for carbs for a long time. Now I'm just going to have to start looking for the potassium, too. The OJ I had for my insulin reaction last night had 450 per serving - the apple juice in the fridge says 250. Guess I won't be getting OJ for reactions anymore. I have been told to cut down on potatoes and bannas because I needed to cut down on potassium a bit. Odd, though - no one ever mentioned the OJ or the tomatoes to me before. I only drink juice when my blood sugar is low, so the OJ hasn't been a real problem for me, but heavens, I eat tomatoes with everything!
-
Yeh juice and tomatoes are a big no no. I used to eat tomatoes like an apple, and mum would go off at me because she said it was wasteful lol Now days tomatoes taste like crap so I dont eat them as much. You can still have a little bit, and a little bit of juice, you just need to be aware of quantities and how much potassium is in it. Have a look at the potassium thread over in the diet and recipes section for ideas. Ive said this many times before but when Im on conventional hemo I just cant even go near a tomato without my potassium going up. Makes it hard to have a healthy diet when you are so restricted. The renal meals you get here in hospital are too bad, you get juice, tomato, coffee etc, but it is all added up for you and portion controlled. That is a good way of getting an idea of what to eat.
Perhaps if you have a hypo you might want to have a glass of strong cordial instead of the OJ, just to be on the safe side. How much OJ would you normally have?
-
About a cup of OJ for an insulin reaction - at least a mild one. Still - that's 450 of potassium according to the brand I've got here. If I have to have twice that, I'd be in trouble in a hurry. OJ always works best for me when my sugar is low, but I guess I'll have to stick with my second choice from now on and use apple juice.
My other option is Smarties. They are cheap, individually wrapped, and they work as fast as most glucose tablets without tasting like chalk. No sodium, according to the label. It's mostly sugar and flavoring, so I don't think they've got an potassium either.
-
I guess everyone is different.
My potassium runs low and I have to eat more and take a supplement.
-
I had a sliced apple with a bit of peanut butter
and a protein bar. Will have a snack later.
oh yeah, and 2 phoslo.
-
Tonight's dinner is baked sea-trout and jasmine rice. Pretty good.
-
OH man oh man, i messed up, i have labs tomorrow and i had a Big Mac (no cheese) and about 10 fries, damn, i hate when i do that right before labs, maybe i can (cough, cough) get sick and reschedule ::)

Smarties contain chocolate, which contains phosphate and potassium. How many smarties would you eat? I honestly think the better option would be to have cordial or the glucose lollies which both contain no potassium and no phosphate that Im aware of.
-
Stuffed bell peppers tonight. blade steak with rice and veggies tomorrow. and when the weekend comes I'm gonna cheat. I haven't had a 7 layer burrito in two years. yeah for ken-taco-hut. that has to be the worst merger for dyalisis patients ever. KFC, TACO BELL, and PIZZA HUT all under the same roof! damn you Large Franchise chains!

No chocolate in our Smarties. They are little tart candies. Yummy. What are your Smarties like, Amber?

Oh yes! Sandman told me about that! Smarties here are candy coated chocolate round things. Tiny .. and a box comes with about .. dunno .. 70 of them?
Sandman told me how Smarties in his State are like sweet tarts. Odd :P
-
yup - the Smarties I use are the ones like sweet tarts - only a bit more powdery and faster to chew and dissolve. I like the taste of sweet tarts better, but so does my husband. He ends up eating all the sweet tarts and then I don't have anything when my blood sugar is low. So I started buying smarties instead - they have a longer shelf life at my house. ;D
-
I love Smarties and you get so many of em in a little pack.
-
Yeh smarties are candy covered chocolate, yummo!!
-
Yeh smarties are candy covered chocolate, yummo!!
Not where I come from. Smarties (http://www.candydirect.com/bulk/Smarties.html) ( yes, that is a link ) are basically mildly sour, chewable candy. Kind of like what you get out of a pez dispenser.
We have candy covered chocolate as well but we call them M&M's (http://www.mms.com/).
-
Well our Smarties are like M&M's but taste just a little different (I like M&M's best as they don't melt in your hands like Smarties do ;))
Smarties that are candy covered chocolate (https://www.shop-southafricans.com/ProductImages/SMARTIES.jpg).
-
Well I didn't have Smarties or M&M's for supper. ;) I had 2 pork chops breaded in corn meal, instant mashedpotatoes, green beans and a Dr. Pepper float. I was all out of Rootbeer. :'(
-
Do instant mashed potatoes contain more or less potassium? oh yummm on the dr. pepper float, i sure hope you washed down your binders too :thumbup;
-
Do instant mashed potatoes contain more or less potassium? oh yummm on the dr. pepper float, i sure hope you washed down your binders too :thumbup;
instant has less....ummm, i think. lol, yea.....3 binders down the hatch.
i've been drinking alot of dr. pepper and mt. dew lately and my phosphorus was 6.6 today. the dietician said i need to let up on the dr. and mt dew is a better choice if i choose to drink either one. i think i will get back to drinking my a&w rootbeer and cream soda. ;D

Wow that is high considering (US numbers) it should be 2.3-4.7 mg/dl.
Ya the A&W rootbeer (and Mugs at least here) don't have phosphate in it (always check the label as certain brands ADD it) but MOST cream sodas do I think.
Maybe I should start a thread on pop contents ;) hhehe :P
-
i think i will get back to drinking my a&w rootbeer and cream soda. ;D[/color]
YUM on both of those choices!
PS: I once had a nurse get all upset when she saw me drinking Cream Soda. She said it had cream in it, and therefore it was high in phosphorus.
For those not familiar with Cream Soda, it's simply vanilla flavored soda. No cream, no milk. It doesn't even look like cream!
:beer1;

Did you know that diet Coke has only 18 mg of phosphorus per 8 oz.?

Not like regular soda isnt an acquired taste since they went from sugar to corn syrup. :P Course most everyone today hasnt even had real soda made with sugar in it so they are used to the taste today. :-\

When I am bad I love to eat at Arby's, McDonald's, Dominos Pizza, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Little Caesar's Pizza, and my favourite is Pita Pit (http://www.pitapit.com/index.cfm) which I had 2 days ago :P
-
Just finished dinner here in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, where I am spending the weekend (we have a holiday here on Monday). It was KFC with mashed potatoes, Coke and 3 Phoslo!!
Was great!!!!!
-
I just had a slice of pizza with 2 Tums and 1/2 can rootbeer ;) Pizza had chicken, mushrooms, and tiny tomato pieces. I know I am bad.
-
Tonight we got together with my family and had reuben sandwiches (drool) and assorted pies (yum).

Isn't a reuben a corned beef sammie? Oh my gosh, I miss the corned beef. That sounds delish
-
Yep, corned beef, swiss cheese, rye bread, sauerkraut. Joe did a modified reuben with very little cheese and regular bread so hopefully that helped a little, but I know that corned beef has got to be bad for renal diets.
-
OMG do any of you know what fruit and vegetables are? LOL
-
OMG do any of you know what fruit and vegetables are? LOL
LOL. . . .I do know, all too well, what those are. I am sick as can be with the low everything diet. I would love, love, love a good corned beef sammie.
-
OMG do any of you know what fruit and vegetables are? LOL
Cheeto's...fruit, right? ? ? :D :lol;
I had subway today. The Italian B M T. The bread was Italian herb and cheese. I had cucumbers, onion, lettuce, mayo and provolone cheese on it. Ooooh so good! ! ! ;) Also a small lemonaide.
3 phoslo, can't forget those. ::)
-
Tonight just some fettucine with broccoli and broccoli with cheese, really cheesy all together.
-
Dinner? What is dinner? Nothing is what I had for dinner tonight. Lunch was 2 Vicodin (for the sore jaw where teeth were pulled Wednesday), a hamburger, fries and coleslaw at Peggy Sue's Diner on the road from Vegas. The a binder! Yummy. Not really hungry now.

My brother made dinner for us last night, he made Seafood Lasagna. It was delicious, it had cream sauce and a lot of cheese, and shrimp and scallops. But the whole time I was eating it I kept thinking that I probably couldn't eat it if I was on dialysis, because it had so much cheese and cream in it.
Sometimes I think I should try to eat better and get used to a renal diet, but sometimes I think I should eat all the bad stuff while I still can. No wonder I'm having trouble losing weight, I justify everything I eat by thinking that someday I might not be able to eat it. I have to do better!
-
Mallory. I would eat the Seafood Lasagna but I would take my binders and only have a small portion. I would also avoid high P04 for a few meals afterwards. You don't have to deprive yourself of everything, you just need to "avoid" them. But, enjoy yourself now.
-
OMG do any of you know what fruit and vegetables are? LOL
I love corn best! And lettuce and I love carrots! Cooked carrots!
-
OMG do any of you know what fruit and vegetables are? LOL
Yeap, sure do. And I eat those too, however I love my junk food.

Ooh, seafood lasagna is so good!
-

I like corn too. In fact, I like just about any vegetable except squash and egg plant. Are they vegetables?
I had a nice hot bowl of chicken noodle soup with cooked carrots and celery. Man, that was tasty.
-
Tonight was grilled pork loin, squash casserole, green beans, baked potato or rice. Thanks to Moma. :)
-
Do you guys ever eat a baked potato? I've had only 1 in 14 months and I miss them so.
-
Mmmmm, I love baked potatoes. I like them with all kinds of stuff on them, cheese, chopped celery, fresh peas, chopped tomatoes, olives and tons of sour cream. That can't be good for you, but I sure love 'em!
-
Do you guys ever eat a baked potato? I've had only 1 in 14 months and I miss them so.
All the time with lots of butter, also I eat french fries, and Potatoes Au Gratin. Enjoy all type of food, just in moderation. :thumbup;
-
Tonight's dinner is chicken adobo (Filipino not Spanish, I think there's a difference) and rice. I worked a 12'er today so I'm too tired to mess with veggies. :lol;
-
yes, i do eat baked potatoes, i'll have one maybe once a month, and i too love all the fixings on it, sour cream, green onions, bacon bits, cheese. I also make sure i use the stronger dialysate when i do, just for extra precaution, so far so good *knock on wood* ::) I also eat 1/2 of order of fries (reg size) and mashed potatoes, (not all at once of course) :P but dont i wish ;)

The FDA has issued a warning about a possible connection between Hepatitis A and green onions.

Last night I ate at O'Charleys with a friend and had a nice big cheeseburger
and a few fries, water/lemon. was sooooooo good.
Since my hand is broken, if I am out eating I usually order a sandwich or chicken
strips that is easier to eat with left hand. can't cut meat up now. Eating spaghetti,
salad, etc. can get pretty sloppy and embarassing to eat in a restaurant when I
have to use left hand. hopefully in about 2 wks. will be able to eat a "real meal" out.
anxiously waiting.......................
-
I'm going out of town today (to Universal's Halloween Horror Night >:D) so I made Joe meatballs and rice he can re-heat for dinner. Ain't I a good wifey?! >:D

I had hospital food for lunch and nothing so far for dinner. No one loves me! Whine whine! Surgery sucks!

I got really used to hospital food myself .. but I missed fast food and a home cooked meal :P :cuddle;

A trip to the Olive Garden for Spaghetti with meatballs, Italian salad, bread sticks, and iced tea. Always yummy and for the first time I dosed my Novolog perfectly and ended up right on target after all was done.
-
I bought two chicken legs and some coleslaw for dinner. I took one bite of the chicken and then realized I needed to mail a package. I thought I put it in the fridge but I guess I didn't. I came home to a pile of foil on the kitchen floor. Damn dogs must have jumped high enough to knock it off the counter. Yes, these are the same little angles who ate all those cookies last year. So, I had coleslaw and bread for dinner! >:(
-
They must be on a suicide mission or something. :lol; Wasn't it chocolate cookies before, and now chicken bones.
-
Oh, that sucks rerun. I know better not to leave any food unattended when I am at my moms house. She has four dogs that will eat anything not nailed down and behind closed doors. ::) Even my cat will eat just about anything if you give him half a chance. Only he won't touch chocolate. ;)
Oh, livecam. I can give you my recipe for my spaghetti and meatballs that would make your mouth water. Only I would not be able to provide any nutritional facts for it.
-
I have a cat who swallowed a dime and it lodged in his intestines
and cost me $$$ for major surgery for him. Some people said put him down
but mine are brother and sister and were so close. If he does it again though
I won't spend $$$ like that again. He's had his nine lives early in his life.
-
sandmansa please do post your recipe in the recipe thread! I made a first attempt at it a few months ago using a packet sauce (which I usually never do). I added other things to the meatballs than what was on the recipe. The meatballs were nice, but I didnt really like a plain tomato sauce on the noodles.
-
In'n'Out last nigt. Damn it was good!
For those outside of the USA, here is a link: http://www.in-n-out.com/default.asp

hmmm. . . I followed the in and out link, epoman, but I think the drive thru might be a bit of drive from Michigan. . . :D
Supper was leftovers for me, but dessert was fresh strawberries, topped with a bit of melted ghiradelli chocolate smoothed out with a dab of peanut butter, and finished off with a swirl of cool whip. Yummmmmmm.

Your dessert sounds yummy.

I agree about In and Out. "Animal it up" is what one nurse told me to do next time I go there. If you ask them to animal it they add all kinds of stuff to the burger. Now I have not tried it so the info is second hand. Sounded good to me! They make an awesome cheeseburger anyway! I want one now. Hmmmm, can't drive to get it....maybe a ride from someone???
-
Animal it up?? i thought they said to ask for "Roadkill style"?? Either way, after saying that i MIGHT lose my appetite at the thought alone. But i love me some grilled onions on my burger (and on the side) and when i was on a no carb diet i would eat a protein burger those are jammin, no buns, all lettuce, different yet deliciosos ;) :2thumbsup;

FINALLY, I got to go to TiTo's Tacos, I hadn't been in like 6 weeks. Damn it tastes even better when you haven't been for a while. It was sooooo good I wanted a cigarate afterwards and I don't even smoke. :o
For those who don't know http://www.titostacos.com
DAMN I LOVE TITO'S TACOS. HELL I LOVE TITO! :o

I went to my friend Beth's yearly Halloween party tonight and had meatballs with honey garlic sauce (Yummy!) :2thumbsup;
It was a great party! I saw most of my friends there including an ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend and her sister who grew up with Jamie who was apart of this board!
What a small world after all!
-
honey garlic meatballs. . . hmmmm . . . where does that qualify on the renal diet? 'Cause it sounds really good and I really want to make some!
And doesn't anyone sleep around here? I'm awake again because my sugar bottomed out and woke me up. I thought I'd surf until I was sure my sugar was stable again. It's 4 am and epoman and angie are both on here posting! If I remember right, epoman is further west, so it's probably not so late there, but Ontario is the same time zone I'm in. ;D
-
it probably is NOT what my dietitian would recommend and I will find out on the upcoming bloodwork day... but it was good and was the only food at the party! I am up late only because my friends still have VERY late parties since most of them don't have kids (the ones that do already left).
There was a guy who admitted to being a diabetic who was drinking beer. He said beer is bad. Is that true? I know it is bad for dialysis patients.
And what are YOU doing up? :P
-
Waiting for my blood sugar to bounce back! I can't sleep when I've got the wobbles.
Beer has lots of carbos, although I suppose the light version wouldn't be as bad. I don't know, really, I haven't had a drink since college, and not much then. It always seemed like a waste of money to me, when I could get a good buzz from a chocolate chip cookie or a piece of fudge. Nothing like a sugar high. . . just ask any kid on Halloween.
(After college, I was introduced to the lovely concept of carbo counting and sliding scale insulin to keep the blood sugar stable, so I don't even get that buzz now.)
I'm still thinking I need to find a recipe for honey garlic sauce, though. . . maybe if I used it on chicken it would be better for a renal diet.
I'm trying to get into the right frame of mind for cooking things now, before I start dialysis. I know the diet is going to be my biggest problem - I have sooooo little will power when it comes to food!
-

I don't know .. only ones I found are:
- Lemon Pepper Garlic Meatballs (http://www.stthomasreidsville.org/ed/recipes.htm#meatballs)
- Scroll down for Denver Broncos Barbecue Meatballs (http://www.davita.com/articles/special/?id=692)
As for the ones my friend Beth had.. she put meatballs bought from M&M meat shops and threw them into a crock pot and then added the store bought sauce. Just look at the lable to know if it is ok or not.

There was a guy who admitted to being a diabetic who was drinking beer. He said beer is bad. Is that true? I know it is bad for dialysis patients.
I have been let to believe that beer is very bad for a diabetic. When my late uncle was diagnosed with diabetes, he was told by his doctor to STOP drinking.

That's true but my uncles doctor was very insistant. Even went to the trouble of informing me of how serious he was. If my uncle was to get drunk once more, that it would hospitalize him or worse. And well, that is why my uncle is now a "late" uncle. :'( He drank himself to death. Litterally.
-
Beer has lots of carbos, although I suppose the light version wouldn't be as bad.
Jeff I think that is why it is so bad for any diabetics since Al in my unit told me that all carbs are bad for diabetics and Cam in my unit told me that is why corn chips are no better that potato chips for him.. :(
-
Joe's diabetic, and his nephrologist actually told him to drink a glass of wine a day if he wanted to. This was before he started dialysis though, so I don't know if that changes.
-
Dinner tonight was Firehouse Subs. YUM.
-
Tonight i am cooking chili dogs for my hubby, something quick and easy (and not messy) ;) and i am having an apple, boiled egg and lettuce salad with a couple of unsalted crackers, (sigh) :-\ i'd rather have the chili dog,,, :P
-
had a couple small pcs. of leftover pizza and an apple with bit of peanut butter on it.
and of course phoslo.
Wow, Goofynina, is that enough protein?
I struggle to get enough protein. It has improved but needs to a little more.
-
I had a turkey sandwich with honey mustard and lettuce and later on had a chicken hotdog with ketchup & Mayo and Tums :P
-
Went to Carrows and had the Mile High Bacon and Cheese sandwhich. Ate one piece of the sandwhich and three fries and was full. Surgery recovery sucks. Had to tear apart the sandwhich to eat it and not bend the neck too much. Had a bit of chocolate cream pie a friend was having. Not bad. The calcium tablets for binders. Yummy.

Awww, go on Goofynina have the chili dog. First let us make it renal friendly....
Take out the hot dog- the nitrates and phosphorous are not renal friendly.
Take the chili off the bun- the beans are not good for you- high phosphorous
The cheese has to go- high phosphorous
The mustard is salty- off it goes.
The mayo- is fattening- off it goes.
Now you have a bun left- you know wheat products are high in phosphorous. Put it down.
Well now eat what you have left in your hand....
There is nothing there??? Oh I am sorry. We tried to make it a renal friendly meal! :banghead;
Back to the rice cakes and water....uh oh... no water. damn!
Love ya girl!

didn't have supper but for lunch went to one of
the best places in Ohio to eat - The Der Dutchman with a friend.
An Amish restaurant. has menu and buffet.
Some beef, turkey, bit of dressing, corn, tiny bit of potatoes/noodles,
cauliflour/broccoli salad, fruit, homemade applesauce, soooooooo good.
Lunch was crowded, but not a wait. It is a large place.
In evenings or weekends you usually have to wait for a table, but there
is a nice gift shop to browse while you wait, and a fireplace to sit in front
of.
-
oh yeah, and the phoslo.
-
Chicken adobo and rice again. It's a staple around here. Only really bad thing in it is the soy sauce, but we use lower-sodium soy sauce, plus not a lot of it, plus Joe doesn't eat the sauce from the dish, so hopefully it keeps it to a minimum.

Dinner was my recipe for Cat Food and Green beans. Wait a minute, do not gross out yet. My kids called it that because it smelled like cat food the first time I served it and the cats liked it.
Cat Food- for human consumption
Cooked rice,
tuna,
cheese
Mix together while the rice is hot. Serve.
I told you all already I only cook easy recipes and only when I have to.

Oh I want that now! Have me over for supper? :lol; :clap;
-
Yum, cat food sounds good, Kat!
Last night was a meat sauce (93% lean ground beef, chopped onions, canned mushrooms, with a little bit of spaghetti sauce) over rice.
-
think it's going to be a sloppy joe, orange, little light yogurt.
at least that sounds good right now.
only added 1/2 the sauce, like the flavor but not real sloppy.
-
Venison teriyaki stir fry with sugar snap peas, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower, served over rice.
Dessert is a strawberry ice cream bomb - I scooped vanilla ice cream into a big bowl, and made a hollow in the center and refroze it. Then I pureed strawberries and more ice cream and put that in the hollow in the center. When it all freezes solid again, flip it over and take the bowl off. Then cover in melted chocolate and freeze again. I saw it on Take Home Chef and couldn't resist trying it!
-
yummmmm, that whole meal sounds soooooooo good.
Dessert sounds delicious and easy.
Do you ever watch Rachel Ray on tv? She always does easy to fix things.
At least it looks that way when she fixes them.
Also get a magazine from Kraft that has easy dishes.
Cook very little these days tho.
-
The venison and the ice cream sound really good!
Tonight is lasagne, but I diluted the tomato sauce and used less of it than normal, so hopefully that will help the potassium.
-
Ohio Buckeye, we must be from the same area. First you talked about Donato's and now Der Dutchman! Isn't their food incredible? Do you go to the one around Plain City? Mmmmm, makes me hungry. Love their pies. :2thumbsup; Next you will be talking about White Castle's!! (Not the frozen ones --the real ones hot off the grill!) We don't get "sliders" down here!
-
Yes, the Der Dutchman at Plain City, tho I have been to
the one up north also. They are wonderful. Don't know
what they do to make their food so good. Probably add all the
stuff one shouldn't have. I love browing in gift shop and sitting by the fire in winter
while waiting for table. Donato's - I have some leftover in fridge
that my son brought over. White Castle - I like the little fish sandwiches
but that's all I care for there. Don't know if they still even have them.
Never find myself craving sliders. My husband loved them. Could eat
a lot at a time. I figured they were everywhere.
I'm going to try to get you a Donato's mousepad. McDonald's had bought
them out but it did not work so they are separate businesses again.
We were one of Donato's best customers when Grote opened his first little
shop years ago.
At work the company was buying us a lunch one day and we had a list to
choose from. Der D. was on the list. A sub shop was chosen and I could
not believe anyone would choose a sub over DD but it was voted in. :(
must be people who have never had a good meal from DD.

Oh you are killing me :P Now I want that but with all the Phosphate in it and the fluid count .. oh and that chocolate .. oh to have that again :P

I know, I know. But I made the bomb in a very small bowl, so it was mini servings only. It ended up being about a scoop of ice cream for each of us, so at least I was good that way. I even dished up my stir fry with a slotted spoon so I could leave out most of the sauce. I'm not fluid restricted yet, but the sodium in store bought teriyaki sauce- yikes! I need to look for a low salt version for the next batch.

Im lucky if I cook a meal once a week. Not feeling much like dinner lately. Usually I just have some toast or fruit and yoghurt, or nothing. Now that Im on incentre Dx for a bit Im too scared to eat much, and its just typical as I have an abundance of non renal friendly foods in the fridge...avocado, banana, tomato. Just picked my first lot of tomatoes off the plants Im growing. Most of the big ones had grubs, made me sooo mad!!! Ive doused them extra good in tomato dust so I hope I can at least get some big ones without little pests in them.
-
Ohio Buckeye, We were so excited because we were told by people in Columbus that Donato's would be coming down this way, then the whole McDonalds thing happened, and no Donatos for us :( We have been known to eat pizza as soon as we get in Columbus before we even see family! And stopped after my nephew's lavish, sit down dinner wedding reception--always room for Donatos!! Of course, not so much anymore, but there is nothing their pizza. After Columbus, we lived in StLouis for years - they also have White Castle, so we were disappointed to move South and not find any. Do you ever shop at Penny's outlet? Another must do when I am in town!! And who would order subs when you could have DD??? Nice hearing from my home area :)
-
I wish all the fast food chains would piss off personally. Then the temptation wouldnt be there. Plus its all rubbish anyway and a rip off. Thankfully one of the ones nearby has closed down. Thats one down, many more to go lol
-
Tonight, we feast ;) It is my nephew's 22nd birthday but we will be celebrating his 21st as well, long story, lol, but anyways, my sister is having it catered by a Mexican Restaruant and we will be having, Chile Verde, Chile Colorado, rice, beans, tortillas, chips and salsa and for appetizers they have mini chimichangas, flautas, quesadillas with guacamole, and about 1,000 binders ;) (the binders are ALL for me) aint i the lucky one :-\

Tonight we are eating "Vegetable Tacos" a recipe from my mom, that I taught my wife how to cook.
Hard Shell Corn Tortillas fried in oil (growing up we used LARD), Ground Beef (seasoned with salt, pepper) , Cheddar Cheese, Tomatoes, Cabbage (red or green), and "Veg-all" then add Tabasco "Green" sauce to the top.
DAMN these are good! If you are not sure what veg-all is see attached picture and check out: http://www.vegall.com/products/
By the way Vegetable Tacos are NOT Renal Friendly :o >:D
-
Veg-all IN the tacos?? Never heard of that before but if that is what floats your boat boss, i say "Chow down" ;) As for my dinner i had some ground beef and potatoe (kinda like a soup) cooked in tomatoe sauce with lemon and tortilla, it was good since all i have been eating is Ramen Noodles for the past 3 or 4 days :)

Hey, don't knock it until you tried it girlfriend.
-
Veg-all - that brings back memories - my mom used to cook with that all the time. . .
Veg-all casserole, made with ground beef and tomato sauce, with the big can of veg-all mixed in, then heat it all together until the sauce boils, pop open a can of fridge biscuits and cover the mix, pop it in the oven until the biscuits are golden brown on top, and serve immediately. . . yummmmmmmm.
I haven't thought of that in soooooo long. . .

I don't know but my appetite for solid food has diminished very much. All I want to do is DRINK!!! (not alcohol). I no longer eat a plate of food; I only eat about 2 oz of meat. But I just want to DRINK!!!!!! I have been having to have between 3 and 4 kilos taken off each time.

Last night I had cottage pie with a cup of peas and 4 slices of garlic bread. I make sure that I eat enough calories and protein in a day. I try restrict my K and phosphate intake during the day.
I try to cook everything from fresh ingrediants. This has really helped my blood results and fluid intake as I have very little salt in my food.
-
Last night I had a microwaved egg and mozzarella cheese sandwhich on white bread with a little mustard. Then a small piece of sugar free berry pie.

I was feeling a little sorry for myself last night after getting back from the clinic and having some trouble with my catheter, so I had potato chips and chocolate milk for supper.
I haven't started on dialysis yet, still have about a week and a half to go, so I just figured I might as well live it up while I still can. I kept looking at that potassium count on the chocolate milk, that's sure something you can't drink much of.

Mmmmm, love chinese. ;)
I was starving at work tonight. Talishas' husband came up to get some fried chicken and she made him go to Dairy Queen to get us supper.
Had the Chicken Strip Basket w/ gravy, Dr. Pepper....without my phoslo, forgot to take 'em to work. :-[
-
Last night I had a microwaved egg and mozzarella cheese sandwhich on white bread with a little mustard. Then a small piece of sugar free berry pie.
How many binders do you need with that?
If I eat two things that are high in phosphate I get Mr Itch visiting for a while. I never like it when he visits, he never brings anything good with him.
Last night I had: pasta 250 grams, two pork chops with diced green pepper and celery grilled in lemon juice.
-
After I eat something with a lot of phosphate my skin gets itchy around my joints. For some reason, it's especially my ankles. Is that because of the phosphate? I wasn't sure if it was the phosphate or just my imagination. But I swear it really does itch.
-
Last night.
Renal friendly chicken pot pie
170 grams SF apple pie filling
2 tbsp cool whip
16 LF nilla wafers.

Renal friendly chicken pot pie
Are there any special stores to buy Renal Friendly foods like people can buy diabetic foods??

Phosphate definately makes your skin itchy! I have noticed that when the itchiness is caused by Phosphate it is a deeper itch. One that you just can't scratch away and seems like you want to keep scratching and scratching til your skin bleeds :(

If you have a Trader Joes in the area. They have low sodium, and low whatever foods in the freezer section. They are sort of specialty food, alternative food store. Of course you have to read labels still. If you liv ein Southern California and know where Loma Linda is there is the Loma Linda Marlet. They carry all kinds of food for the vegetarians in the area.
-

Not that I know of.
Pretty much anything that I eat that is renal friendly has to be made from scratch.
Health food type stores (at least here) tend to carry a bigger selection of low sodium type foods and that does help with shopping.
-
have neither of those stores and I don't really have to worry so much about sodium since starting HD my BP has become normal :P
-

This is the point. We need to try and prepare our own meals in order to take back control of our diets. ;)

It sucks when I live alone. Most of it goes to waste. Who else wants to come to dinner for a RENAL DINNER? :( :banghead;

Basically you need to break down any recipe to only make the number of servings you want. If recipe says it will make 8 servings then you only use half as much of everything to make it into 4 servings and so on. ;)
-
Tacos tonight for me. yummmmmm!
-
I am hoping that i get to go to IHOP tonight for dinner, i could use me a pancake right about now :2thumbsup;

-
nope, no IHOP tonight, went and did all my Thanksgiving shopping, OMG, I called the store ahead of time and asked them to PLEASE plug in the riding cart cuz i am in route, and of course, it wasnt plugged in, my back, my legs, my neck, my shoulders were killing me, i didnt think i was going to make it through the damn store (but luckily i did) or there would've been a "CLEAN UP IN ISLE 5" thank goodness my nephew was there to help me, by the time we bagged the groceries and went and loaded them in the car and GOT IN the car, i just wanted to turn the heater on and sleep, damn, this used to be so easy for me...ok, back to the topic, i had Del Taco Taco's and french fries :-\

Nice chunk of beef, potatoes (soaked for 2 hours, water changed 3 times @2 hours each time), and carrots. Slow cooked all day. The house smells almost as good as it did Thanksgiving, while the turkey was cooking. Of course, I will have to cheat a little, as I love to add Franks hot sauce to spice things up a bit, my plate only, I'm the only one who enjoys things tangy HOT!
-
Tonight I made turkey enchiladas! Still have enough for a turkey pot-pie, turkey & homemade noodles,turkey-dressing-veg. casserole and turkey & gravy over biscuits... (I have the turkey meat frozen in half-pound baggies) I will use all this turkey up, I will , I say...
-
Sounds good anja. Mind if I come over for dinner? ;D
-
My wife cooked a roast slowly so it was tender and juicy. Also had greenbeans, carrots, shrooms and water chestnuts
-

Oooooh Sandman, i dont think Angie would like that very much, ::)
For dinner i had Ihop's Breakfast Sampler, hubby ate my ham and one of my eggs and i cant believe i ate the whole thing ;)
-
Sounds good anja. Mind if I come over for dinner? ;D
Oooooh Sandman, i dont think Angie would like that very much, ::)
Awwww. But I love turkey or chicken pot-pies. And I really suck at making them myself. :-[
But anyway, I was just joking about going to her house for dinner.

I love those too but you know, you can get them at stores right? Oh I forgot :P You are rather picky about the quality of some foods :P

whats for supper? WHATS FOR SUPPER?? well, let me tell you, i have been thinking of a peanut butter and jelly sammich for days now (with a glass of milk) sooooo, thinking to myself that i havent had any dairy in so long, what is it going to hurt to have some milk, sooo, i made my pb&j and got me a glass of milk, had me 4 binders on the same plate as my sammich, yes i did, guilt of drinking that milk was overcoming but i wasnt going to let it change my mind, afterall, its just a glass of milk sheesh, so i began eating my sammich, drank me some milk, popped a couple of binders, OMG, soooo gooooood, so i ate a little more of my sammich and drank the rest of my milk (popped in the other 2 binders) and i sat there, guilty as can be, started to make myself sick thinking of what i just did, started feeling funny, didnt know what the hell was going on with me, then it hit me "I AM LACTOSE INTOLERANT" believe it or not, as cold as it is outside, my dog wanted to go OUT for once, lol, whew, wait til my hubby get's home, do i have a surprise for him, thank God for Febreze and Lysol ;)
-
Oh my...farts in the wind....I have done that before. The milk intolerance will really get you going in one way or another!
-

I have heard of the lactose free milk. Does it taste the same? Next time you treat yourself make sure you don't forget lol :P Man I know I have enjoyed the naughty milk myself! Man .. you can tell we are dialysis patients when our idea of "being bad" is drinking milk! lol .. opps wrong section :P :clap;
-
I have heard of the lactose free milk. Does it taste the same?
No, it does not taste even remotely the same as 2%. Lactose free milk is usualy made with soy.
-
Fish filet, salad, applesauce... :thumbup;
-
Try Lactaid - I think it tastes better than regular milk, which I used to love; I became lactose intolerant and had to change. Now regular milk tastes sort of oily to me!
BTW, "preview" doesn't work for me anymore - what am I doing wrong? I'm somewhat computer inept, so the answer could be simple - but evidently not as simple as me!

I agree. 1 lettuce leaf is only 40 mg potassium. Its not the lettuce that is the guilty one in your potassium level. Well unless you are eating whole heads of lettuce at at time. ;)

Oh just catching up here ... for supper .. I had very VERY good meatballs in sauce I probably should not have had (but since my bloodwork came back very good I figured I deserved it lol) :P
-
mac n cheese
tuna salad on ritz crackers
-
Sloppy joes, fruit shish kabobs, and a large dose of tylenol for the headache. I helped my friend with her little girl's 11th birthday party. Amazing how loud 8 little girls can be. I'm used to dealing with my nephew and his little friends, and they do yell, but not in the high pitch, break the mirrors screech that girls that age seem to make in groups.
I was good - no cake or ice cream!
-
salad with creamy italian dressing, Fettucinni Alfredo, and bread, along with Spumoni for dessert. The Ole Spaghetti Factory dinner. mmmmmm!
-
Tonight was leftover's... we had left over roast that just fell apart so yummy it was cooked in a crock pot all day, gravy, mashed potatoes, and whole kernal corn. I put it on my plate like this:
1 slice of white bread
topped with mashed potatoes
topped with whole kernal corn
topped with gravy
I put my meat on the side with ketchup on it. Yummmmmmm!
-
I just HAD to tell you all what I had tonight! My dietitian came by and finally told me why my heart has been hurting. You would never believe it but ... MY Potassium is LOW! So I had PIZZA!!!! Sure .. a small one .. with my phosphate binders .. but you can believe I am like feeling like it is an EARLY Christmas!! :clap; :beer1;
-
MY Potassium is LOW! So I had PIZZA!!!!
YUM!
-
<--- Stupid
Why is pizza good if you have low potassium?
-
Tonight was a stale midnight hamburger from Wendy's for me, and a stale midnight chicken sandwich for Joe. :thumbdown; At the very least, there were no fries involved.
-
Why is pizza good if you have low potassium?
I think because of the extra K she will get from the tomato sauce and the cheese.
-

I would think the same thing. She is trying to get her potassium back up to normal. Now I want a pizza and all the pizza places around here are closed. Thanks Angie. Hope you saved me a slice. :cuddle;

Exactly right. Low potassium is just as dangerous as high potassium and has much the same symptoms and consequences. You might want to get it checked again soon angie to see what its doing.

The Neph said we'd just wait til the blood work results but then he had to go out of town and the other Neph didn't see it important enough to come by so only the Dietitian came by and talked to me. She wrote this on my sheet:
"a little low, Angela" (ya they call me by my birth name instead of just Angie like everywhere else) "include 1 higher potassium choice/day - esp. after dialysis"
That was why I had it Friday after dialysis. I got home too late for anything other than pizza however.
edit: CRAP! Sorry if I took this off topic!!
-
I like pizza, but hardly ever have it. One night I ordered it in and boy did it taste yummy. I can make my own out of croissant biscuit dough. Just lay it out and put pizza sauce and cheese on it. Bake.
-
Mmmmmmmmm! Last night we had a pork loin roast that I cooked most of the day in a crock pot. I put a can of mushrooms and a can of Golden Mushroom soup on the roast, then about 3:00 in the afternoon I added baby carrots and tiny potatoes to the crock pot. My sister made gravy out of the drippings, it was delicious!
It's kind of strange that now they want me to eat MORE protein. I'm so used to limiting protein, I'm having a hard time getting used to the new rules. I can't eat very much because I'm so full from the PD, so I ate mostly the roast, but it sure was good!
-
Tonight i feast on Abondigas (spanish for meatball soup) It has the meatballs (naturally) :P squash, carrots, celery, potatoes, corn and rice. Just squeeze some lemon on it and take it all in, yummmm, nice when its so cold out :2thumbsup;
-
I had a hot date tonight with the hubby! He took me to Bakers for Tacos! Yeehaw!
-
I watched the food network most of the afternoon at dialysis. After a couple of hours of watching them cook all these divine dishes, I came home to ramens with steamed veggies. Yeesh, what a let down!
Rachael Ray scares me. .. . is she really that perky, or is there some special seasoning in her sauce recipe?
-
she's that perky all the time and trust me, watching the food network for 12 hours a week is dangerous - be careful

I love seeing what everyone else eats too!!

Well the bad thing is some of us are not faithful to the renal diet, but then there are people like Zach on here who put me and others to shame. I personally think after reading Zachs "supper" posts, he is either a "bird" or a "robot" you decide. ;)
But good for you for leeching the potatoes first. :thumbup;

Do you make the spanish rice? If so can we please have the recipe! Thanks!
-
For dinner, we are going to have steak sandwiches at Kozmo's in Stockton, we are going to visit family there and they have the best sandwiches.
Panda_9, spanish rice is very easy, you use 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water and one can of tomatoe sauce, first you can brown some onions in a little bit of oil, throw in the rice and brown that, when rice is a light brown, throw in 1 can of tomatoe sauce and the two cups of water, add spices (salt, pepper, garlic powder) bring to boil, cover and reduce heat, usually takes about 15 minutes to finish cooking. Hope it comes out for you...
(if you need to make more, just double everything) ;) Good Luck... :2thumbsup;

For dinner, we are going to have steak sandwiches at Kozmo's in Stockton, we are going to visit family there and they have the best sandwiches.
Panda_9, spanish rice is very easy, you use 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water and one can of tomatoe sauce, first you can brown some onions in a little bit of oil, throw in the rice and brown that, when rice is a light brown, throw in 1 can of tomatoe sauce and the two cups of water, add spices (salt, pepper, garlic powder) bring to boil, cover and reduce heat, usually takes about 15 minutes to finish cooking. Hope it comes out for you...
(if you need to make more, just double everything) ;) Good Luck... :2thumbsup;
When you say tomato sauce, do you mean tomato puree?
-
Tonight for dinner we are having spaghetti w/garlic bread ;)
(Panda_9 the tomatoe sauce in the can, i believe it is an 8 oz. can) :thumbup;
edited: Hubby forgot the garlic bread so we are eating toast bread :P second best thing i guess :2thumbsup;

-

It is either chicken or beef rolled in a corn tortilla and then deep fried, not the healthiest but it sure is damn good :P
-
You all talk about Tamales What are they? (Tacquito sound good !)
-
It all sounds so good-we don't have the really,really good mexican rest. here like they did when I lived in So.Cal.!!!(here is FL)

Thanks for that they look so good i want to make them now but i don't think i would be able to find some of the ingredients over here Bummer !

We will have to mail you masa flour so you can make Tamales!
-
Charee, i bet if you made some Tamales you could sell them for mega $$$ ;) Change of dinner plans for me, i had a frozen burrito for dinner :-\
-
Tamales are a Mexican delicatesen. It is a corn dough (made with a flour called mazeca, which is corn based), then they are stuffed with chicken, beef or pork in a sauce (mole, green salsa, red salsa, etc), and then wrapped in a corn husk. After that you cook them by steaming them, or in your microwave. They take time to cook, but is worth it. You can freeze them after.
By the way...is Taquitos, not tacquitos....the ending "ito" in Spanish makes things small or cute....

-
tonight
pork fried rice (homeade with soy sauce)<-------I meant withOUT soy sauce
egg-drop soup
I have been experimenting with grape seed oil-I am impressed it has a really high flash point so you can fry safely with it,but the best part seems to be how little you actually need to fry something.
-
Scalloped potatoes, covered with onions, cream of mushroom soup, cheese and ham cut into small squares... put into a casserole dish and into the oven, mmmm delicious. Salad and green beans on the side.
-

I hate fasting for bloodwork, I just did that last Wednesday. Had Seafood Fajita tonight.
-
what is the purpose for fasting for bloodwork? I thought fasting actually made potassium rise??
-
I've never been asked to fast for my monthly bloodwork.
-

They are not fasting for any real reason, unless they are getting cholesterol levels checked, then yeah fasting is recommended. It is just a way to KEEP The dietitian off their back, basically they are cheating to make their labs look better. >:D
And as I told goofynina since she was OUT of Renagel, I told her to take "TUMS" or "ROLAIDS" as her binder, they WILL indeed do the job. But like usual she doesn't believe a word I say. Even though I have been in this game for over 13 years. ::)

-
You all are eating good. Are you really allowed to have all that?
I'm eating just under 1000 calories a day, low sodium, potassium and phosphorus and I'm GAINING weight. >:( My diet consists mostly of plain jasmine rice, apples and toast. Meat has been making me sick, but I can keep down an occasional scrambled egg or a slice of cheddar. :P
-
Get a grip and eat something!
-

It may be from the PD solution. It is said patients can absorb 300-500 calories from the glucose in the pd solution each day.
-
Get a grip and eat something!
I tried that. It comes right back up. :-X
I haven't started PD yet. This is one of the reasons I need to.

-

The water has to be ice-cold and you don't use too much. Also, some cereals are sweet enough, that if you let them sit in the water a little bit, the water gets syrupy.
Sort of like when you add water to Dog Chow.
;)
-

Tonight I will make--lettuce/cucumber/greenpepper/celery/onion salad 1 1/2 cups (no onions on husbands)
I will use hamburger and make some beef sausage with salt-free seasoning you can buy here www.wassis.com (which is also a local butcher)
then make oarnge 'stuff'(thanks for the name sluff)
which is: 2 lbs of sausage, 1 onion, 1/2 greenpepper,1 stalk celery-all veggies minced tiny and added to the same pan
if you use a fatty cut of ground -don't add oil-but if you use chuck or better,add a little grapeseed oil-2 tspoons or oil of your choice
add seasoning:black pepper/garlic powder/onion powder to taste,I tend to use the most black pepper,then less garlic(you can use
fresh too)then the least onion powder.I season at the beginning and again in the last two or three minutes. and a bit of sugar 1/4 cup
Cook on med-until browning occurs-sometimes i also add a little water-it helps the mince veggies disappear-but what they do is
contribute to the sauce.when all done to your likeing.Add 4 to 6 cups cooked elbow noodles,
and 1 1/2 cup spagehetti sauce-
just enough to make it oarnge--use as little as you can--it surprised me how little it took to give decent flavor-
this makes a big ole potfull-gives me enough to feed the kids a second time
-
salt & pepper calamari, hasselback potatoes and salad all made by lil ol me!
Tamara, What are hasselback potatoes? I love calamari, how did you make this? I've never tried making it myself, was it hard?

nice meal :clap;-what is battered steak -is that like a big battered (deepfried) steak (deer) that is actually fried? what is the batter and how much oil?
I have a nice little pack of tenderloin.....
-
ummm. . .it's sort of double battered - first with a meat tenderizer, then with a mix of flour and seasonings. ;D Paprika, pepper, a dash of salt, a bit of garlic powder. Depends on what I have. Then I coat the griddle in lots of butter before putting on the steak. Yummy and tender enough to cut with a fork.
-

are you trying to be funny?
-
by no means my dear glitter.....just hate to see most of you people craving stuff, when you can eat everything you want and fix it with binders and the sort...
as i said before i will kick the bucket some day so i will go enjoying the thing i like the most and that is food, i may not be able to do much anymore but I'll be damned if i have to give up food, not me, not now.
Rolando
BTW - Rolando's labs are usually good (Alene)
-
It would be nice if we all could do that, rolando, but not all of us can get away with it. So be kind to those of us who are fighting our cravings in order to be as healthy as possible! And eat a banana for me, please!
-
As long as your labs are good. Go for it.
I had boiled potatoes (soaked 4 hour first) steak, roll and salad. AND I'm still hungry. I can not fill up.
I'm hungry but don't want to eat. Don't want to cook. I just wish I had a pill that made me full.
-
I had a Santa Fe Chicken Salad tonight. Not exactly what I expected, but pretty good.
How was your mexican food, Sluff? I hope it was yummy! Oops! have to get the binders down me.
-
I'm hungry but don't want to eat. Don't want to cook. I just wish I had a pill that made me full.
Kinda like the pill that tastes like a meal like in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. ;D

finally we had the barely oarnge spaghetti stuff-man that is my favorite!! and it is not outrageously high in potassium.

I was supposed to have spaghetti last night, but I didn't feel like cooking. I went to Coram's and ate a hamburger and fries. I'll make spaghetti tonight instead. lol

last night we went to Rice & Co. and had shrimp n beef lo meins, pot stickers and lettuce wraps topped off with some Golan and jasmine teas....superdelicious...i downed my binders right then and there.....are we still on a diet?? awwwww too bad :rofl;

Rolando
-
I'm not even on dialysis anymore so I can eat as I please... however your "smart" comments "are you still on a diet??" "I feel sorry for most of u on a diet"... I think they are very rude, however that is just my opinion... of course you may say and do as you please, i'm just letting you know some people may find them comments rude, kind of like a "rubbing it in your face" type of thing... like i mentioned in another post, not everyone can do what your doing, binders are for helping us bind our phosphorus, however, some people's body's have a harder time doing that with binders or not.

Just remind everyone that you eat only one meal a day, plus a liquid nutritional supplement.
With only having one meal a day, I guess you can eat up to your daily limits of 1,000 mg phosphorus, 2,000 mg potassium and 1,200 mg sodium in one sitting. :-\

With only having one meal a day, I guess you can eat up to your daily limits of 1,000 mg phosphorus, 2,000 mg potassium and 1,200 mg sodium in one sitting. :-\
Only one meal a day. Are you sure your not a camel? >:D
-
This is the OTHER HALF of aharris2 (the kinder, gentler half :-\ )
Rolando's point is this - life is for living and enjoying and if food is what you enjoy, then eat.
You can eat anything, just do it in moderation (which may mean eat just a couple of those french fries then hand the rest to your kid, or load up that half taco with cheese then eat the rest of them without)
...and at AN APPROPRIATE TIME. The labs are in- Phosphorus is 2.5(very suspect! - see below), potassium is 3.3. You have complete info...with Rolando's other issues, we have been fighting the effects of a disturbed digestive tract. He is losing potassium and fluid, hence the gatorade, tea, and bananas. We've also been fighting overdoses of insulin (dosing for a specific dinner only to eat half of that) and that's why the two glasses of oj and even a very sweet flan in the middle of the night last night (dairy with binders of course)
If you look hard at what Rolando mentions eating, the worst of it is the pasta in the lo mein and the wrap around the pot sticker. We are careful with white flour in that it has a lot of phosphorus and we treat the oriental stuff the same even though who knows what it really is - match it with binders.
The homemade tacos are scrambled egg with onion on corn tortilla. They also have just a little salsa and just a little sour cream - nothing in excess and nothing too awful, and he needs the protein for wound healing. Sodium you say? The obvious problem would be thirst, but we don't have an issue with it. We have found that blood sugar is a much more significant thirst factor and we are very vigilant with it. (anyone who wants to comment on sodium and the movement of fluid within the body, please feel free - I don't quite understand the mechanics of it yet)
As far as the pizza and coke... one slice of pizza and a couple of sips of my coke at the movies ... with binders of course (binders are clearly our favorite dessert :P !!!)
This phosphorus number is very suspect. Rolando usually runs in the upper 3's close to 4. For the preceding three tests done over the last couple of weeks the values were right around 1.5. Some investigation revealed that they were post dialysis values. Now we have a 2.5... is it real or is it post dialysis? I cannot confirm until Saturday.
As I think Rolando has expressed, he is extremely frustrated right now with lots of things, but most significantly with the length of each session (4.5 hrs). He said he would be ranting and he is, just not necessarily on target. This site has certainly been good for him!
Rolando, hermanito tan chulo, play nice! :cuddle;

You are absolutely correct! It has to do with moderation and the appropriate time.
Super-sizing portions is not good ... whether you are a "dialyzor or urinator."

I'm making chili again tonight, and after that I'm not cooking again until Sunday. I have a friend coming down from Alabama to visit me, and we're going to Sweet Basil's tomorrow night and Dirty Dick's Crab House the night after that. I know the name sounds bad, but they are supposed to have really good food. They have "world famous" T-shirts that say, "I got got crabs from Dirty Dick's!" That's funny, huh? I'm going to buy one of those T-shirts for my friend!! lmao
-

that sounded so good-I added a little salt-free, homemade sausage. I have never eaten corn tortilla's and eggs!!Rock ON!!! That is an excellent combination of flavors!! My family was pretty impressed too-we will be eating those again.

Glitter, if you liked scrambled egg and corn tortillas you should make some "migas" you cut the corn tortillas in little squares and fry them then throw the egg in with them after they are all cooked nice and soft, pretty good when you add the onion and some pieces of ham too :2thumbsup;
Tonight i had enchilada casserole with rice and a little bit of beans ;) :2thumbsup;
-
I'm glad you liked the homemade tacos glitter now try this spin off to them...make the tacos as usual, put them on a plate and add tomato sauce (if you can have it) and then some pecorino-romano cheese on top...hmmmmmm superdelicious instant made enchiladas can't beat them....
i like to thank my sister for such a nice little message, thanks sis...now is this nice enough for you??
BTW we went to the cheesecake factory today and i had guacamole and chips and their world's famous meatloaf with veggies and mashed potatoes, also had green tea and chamomile tea very good food and while is true i only eat one meal a day (I know just like a camel :rofl;), i try for it to be the best meal of the day.
well, i hope i didn't ruffle any feathers with this message....lighten up people!!!!

And don't worry about the cheesecake, it's pretty low in PO4 and K:
80 grams=1/6 slice from a 17 oz cake (almost 3 oz.)

well...I tried to make renal friendly chili---it came out more like beanless,heavyily spiced taco style meat--it was good though-but wasn't that close to chili-the lack of tomato product was hard to subsitute for-anyone else have a fairly renal friendly recipe?

You can still use tomato products. It takes some looking though and not all products are the same so make sure it is labeled with Na and the K to be sure.
A couple that I use are: no salt added S&W peeled ready cut tomatoes. As per the label on my can it is 105mg of K and 30 mg of Na per 1/2 cup serving and Private Selection organic no salt added diced tomatoes which are 210 mg of K and 50 mg of Na per 1/2 cup serving also as per the label.

Last night, I went to Red Lobster. I ended up drinking 3 glasses of tea, when usually I only drink 1. I went to the mall afterwards and all that tea went to my feet and hands...I now know why we have limits on how much we drink! lol Anyway, I ate fried crawfish, coconut shrimp, and fries. :)
-
Tonight for dinner i made spaghetti, didnt eat spaghetti, saving it for tomorrow, i ate homemade tacos with ground beef, lettuce, tomatoe, (a little bit of cheese) and some thin slices of avocado, they were pretty good considering i didnt fry the shells (gotta watch my figure ya know) ::) psha, yah right :P

i went grocery shopping. was going to make A scrambled egg with sausage, bacon and an onion bagel with cream cheese. then i was like, "oh hell no, i just cleaned my kitchen". so i went to dairy queen and had a chicken strip basket with onion rings. :-\
-
I made chicken "oven fried" and had leftover last night's homeade minestrone soup (with a lot of pasta in it), and my own semi low-sodium version of rice-a-roni: I take 1/2c rice....and 1/2c orzo (u can also use 1" peices of spaghetti). I suatee it in 2T of margarine....add a small minced onion or shallot....brown the rice and pasta a bit....add a 150z can of low-sodium chicken broth and enough water to make 2 cups total......add to the rice mixture......bring to a boil.....let simmer covered for 20 minutes. It's great and somewhat less in sodium than rice a roni (and less chemicals)

Tonight i'm making me and my kids TV Dinner's... something easy. :lol;
-
Here's the deal. We're heading for the Elephant Bar in Valencia right now. Anyone from this site who can find me while we are there gets a free meal. You'd better hurry, leaving here in about 5 minutes!
-
Livecam, you simply have to give me more warning if you are going to invite me to dinner. Valencia is an hour and a half away and I am not sure I could find you in the Elephant Bar among all those trunks! Beware if I could I would be there. :rofl; :rofl;
-
Ok here's what we ended up doing. We supported three restaurants up here for dinner tonight. We ate at the Elephant Bar, we picked up for a friend at the Olive Garden next door, and the kids wanted In N Out so they got that. Now I'm stuck in the middle of a three girl sleepover that probably won't get quiet till about 4AM...why did I let that happen?
Kitkatz...like I told you before, just walk around in there and look for the ugly fistula...mine will be the only one.
-
We will be the pair with the ugly arms in the restaurant.

I did my "Dream Dinners" number 3 which was Dijon and Herb Marinated Prawns. It told me exactly what to do. There were 3 servings, bot I had lots of leftovers. I had 4 little prawns in my scrambled eggs this morning. It was good, but I don't like that much shrimp!
Now I'm trying to make my chocolate chip oatmeal cookies without milk, chocolate chips and salt. I used butterscotch chips instead. I also didn't put all the oatmeal in because it is high in P04. They are flat but kind of good.
-
Hoisin and Honey Glazed Chicken
~Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
3 tbsp honey
~Process:
Heat oven to 425F. Place chicken breast halves in 12"x8" baking dish. In small bowl, combine hoisin sauce and honey; mix well. Spoon evenly over chicken.
Bake at 425F for 20-30 minutes or until chicken is fork tender and juices run clear. To serve, spoon sauce over chicken.
-
Hoisin sauce is commonly used for barbequing or in the common dish "Peking Duck." Hoisin sauce is soy-based and regularly used in Chinese dishes, as well as stir-fry recipes. The ingredients in a typical bottle of hoisin sauce are soybean paste, garlic, vinegar, and various spices such as chili peppers. The flavor this mixture yields is described as sweet, salty, and spicy.
It is common for people to either love the taste of hoisin sauce or hate it. Hoisin sauce has a very distinct taste. When used in large quantities, it may be overwhelming for someone who has never tasted it before. For first time users, water can be added to hoisin sauce to make the flavor less strong
I had to look up hoisin sauce-lol

Rachael Ray's Double Chicken Dumpling Stoup. My husband loves it. I drain out most of the broth for me ... but yummy meatballs with just a touch of parmigiano reggiano for flavor. She uses potato gnocchi, but I substituted the German spaetzle noodle dumplings, which work fine. And dialysis-friendly veggies like celery, onions, corn and a few shredded carrots. Hearty stuff on a cold Michigan night.
-
Michigan!?! I'm coming for dinner!

Cool! The welcome mat's out. I've got leftovers.

-
Hmm, hard to describe a flavor ... They're tart, kind of pickle-y, lemony, tangy. Not a real strong flavor, but one that complements the lemon in the dish.

cordon bleu
[kor-dohn-BLUH] 1. A French term (literally translated as "blue ribbon") that referred originally to an award given to women chefs for culinary excellence. The term now can apply to any superior cook. 2. The term also refers to a dish-chicken (or veal) cordon bleu-in which a thin scallop of veal or chicken is topped with a thin slice each of prosciutto or other ham and Gruyère or other Swiss cheese, then another meat scallop. The stacked meats and cheese are then breaded and sautéed until golden.
unless what you are having is blue ;)

Chicken salad with apples, celery, pecans and a little lite Miracle Whip, and a tossed salad. Trying to keep under 2000 calories a day to drop some of this prednisone weight >:(
The 15 lbs I lost right after my transplant must have been fluid and muscle mass...and the 20 lbs that have come back is all fat...mostly in my abdomen and back :P
The joy of eating whatever I wanted without restrictions sure was nice the last 3 months, but it's time to wear something other than sweat pants! Don't get me wrong...the weight beats the heck out of dialysis!
-
There is always a trade off isn't there?
-
I put some frozen chicken in olive oil and pan fried it up, then dropped a can of Hunt's Chunky Vegetable spaghetti sauce over it and let it stew. Some rigatoni noodles with butter and pamesan cheese and we were set to eat. I even made garlic bread croissants iwth pillsbury croissant dough. It was good.

-

Sorry GN, This was a restaurant occasion. Our outing this Sunday was to the movies (Wild Hogs ... S.L.U.F.F.?) followed by lunch at the Green Iguana - oh, he left out the fried cheesecake! I'm more the tacos de huevo con cebolla or frijoles negros type as is Rolando's wife (although spaghetti with whatever is my favorite to cook and to eat). Let us know when you're on your way!
-
homemade chicken 'n' noodles w/ mashed potatoes.
im SOOOOO glad grams is back from hawaii. ;)
-
mmmmmmm mac & cheese. My favorite. Has be the real deal though, not Kraft dinner.
-
And what is wrong with a KRAFT dinner?? That is all I fix. I do not have any idea how to make it any other way! >:D
-
Tuna and Noodles tonight, mmmmm!
BTW: I only eat Kraft mac and cheese, no other!
-
I like both kinds of mac and cheese. Good, hearty homemade stuff, with big fat noodles, two kinds of cheese, maybe a bit of crunchy bread crumb topping.. . but good old Kraft just tastes like all the comforts of childhood.
Dinner tonight was burgers and onion rings. Homemade and yummmmmmmy.
-
Cornish hens and dressing and coleslaw. mm good
-
Looks like i am having me some Taco Bell tonight "Yo quiero taco bell" which is a burrito supreme and a crunchy taco... :P

Sounds good. Meet where?

I'm having a chicken sandwich with white bread, cucumber slices and some ranch dressing. Drink: tamarind drink
-
Grilled chicken breast, (real)mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli, applesauce. All of this yummy stuff was actually on my diet menu for tonight's dinner...the gravy was fat-free from a jar.
-
I don't think this one was sticking to any diet, Prime rib with potato skins and a salad.

seafood enchiladas and calamari and rice.

Sounds so good Susie, I'm continuing on my diet meals tonight chicken parmigiana, total of 390calories or1634 kilojoules. The meals aren't bad and while I'm losing weight with them I'll keep going for a lil while, but good for an indication for portion sizes I should be having.

Tenderloin steak sandwich with cheese peppers and chicken tortilla soup.
-
OK my friends, i do not know exactly how bad this is but i still have not eaten anything since my 1/2 of BLT yesterday and my saltine crackers last night at 1:15 am. I have no urge to eat, i believe stress has a great deal to do with all of this, i have been going through alot with my family and i think it has finally taken its toll on this body o'mine. Just lettin' ya know what i ddint have for supper :-\
-
Goofynina, I really hope & pray your stress levels go down and you are able to go back to enjoying food again. I also pray that the situations causing your stress are resolved. :grouphug;
Fortunately, Heph & I aren't off our food and we just had omlette with onions, mushrooms, peppers & sweetcorn and fries. It really was very, very yummy! ;D
-
I had steak on the grill, baked potatoe and green beans. With fruit salad.

Ha, I had steak on the grill too.

Thank you H.L.L and everyone for your concern, i think (no, i know) i am getting better, for dinner tonight i had some carne asada nacho's with no cheese but extra sour cream :P couldnt eat them all, but man, they were good (Please God, let them stay in) ;)
-
Tonight i was bad, oh so bad, Mom took me to a Chinese Buffet, i didnt overeat, i just pretty much sampled alot of stuff, it was the only meal i ate today (does that count) :P
-
Grilled salmon, sugar snap peas, brown rice and tapioca pudding....yum!
-
Shrimp cavatapi
-
I am not telling! >:D
-
Baked Potato (not exactly renal diet friendly) :-\ , onions, cheese(OK or this, especially the amount Heph has) :-\ , gammon(this also probably has too much salt) :-\ , baked beans in tomato sauce and an orange. Don't think this one will be in the next renal cook book, but antibiotics make Heph weird and so I would rather he cheated on his diet than ate nothing at all. ::) Well thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it! :2thumbsup;

Similar to beef, however the it cannot be cooked until its done, it is best to be eaten rare.
-
Veggie Burgers with cheese and salad and potato wedges.

Chili tonight - been craving it like crazy since reading George's recipe on here. I know it's not a great choice, but at least it will be homemade so I know what's in it. I just won't have a second helping. . . promise!
-
Venison steak marinated in lime juice, garlic and cumin and grilled on the good ole charcoal grill - topped with fresh tomatillo salsa; grilled zucchini, yellow squash and red peppers; and couscous. For dessert - fresh fruit parfait made with strawberries, mango, bananas and vanilla yogurt. Yummy.

I wish I could eat so little and be satisfied. These immunosupressants aren't helping me much in the eating department. I'm hungry 24/7. Hopefully by upping my water to 80oz a day it will help supress my appetite more.
I had spaghetti and salad last night.
-
For dinner last night, I had a box of Peeps.
A whole box.
Of Peeps.
Yellow ones.
I'm going to Hell. ;D

Have you ever bought Balogna from a deli and it had the plastic ring on the outside of it? I think that is what that is, at least i hope it is :P
For dinner i am having some Shell pasta cooked in tomatoe sauce and cucumbers :P

Pizza.
The bologna ring is the metal collar at the end. If it is the shape they are referring to then it should be called horseshoe bologna.

For us Aussies What are Peeps ??
-
They are sugar coated marshmallow treats that are shaped like litttle baby chicks. They are usually bright yellow, sometimes bright pink (and shaped like bunnies) and apparently sometimes orange! They are popular at Easter. My husband likes them - they are way too sweet for me! I know people who prefer them hard and stale!
-
Thanks Jill :thumbup;
-
saw on a news report that peeps are making chocolate flavored bunnies this year, but i haven't been able to find any of them.
-
i had a super delicious foot long hoagie (sub) with steak, mozzarella cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomatoes and onions, oil and vinegar, pepper, salt and oregano with curly fries and a 32 oz. coke and for dessert i had my renagels and some tylenol (i had a horrible backache) ;D
cheers :beer1;

My friends daughter offered me a peep tonight and i couldnt eat it, i felt guilty biting his little head off, ::) (this is getting ridiculous) :-\
-
If eating Peeps is gonna send me to the hot place, I am going for sure! They are my favorite treat of all time. :o ( and I am one of those that opens the cellophane so they can dry out for a few days and become chewier~ yum, yum the box is gone in no time >:D ) Oh, I found blue ones and purple ones this year, so now I have all four colors to mix and match! :yahoo; :yahoo; :yahoo; ha ha ha! I am :urcrazy; for Peeps! :thumbup;
-
:P You are making me jealous with all this Peeps worshiping. I even checked out their web site! :P
Yes you guessed it....... I have a sweet tooth!! ;)
-
( and I am one of those that opens the cellophane so they can dry out for a few days and become chewier~
They're the best snack! ;)
-
I always knew it: PEEPS RULE! :2thumbsup;
My daughter used to like them after they'd spent a few days in the refrigerator! When she was studying in France, I got 2 packs after Easter at half price and mailed them to her ($1 for Peeps, about $8 postage!) She said that was the only thing I ever sent her that she didn't share with her host family; said she sat in her room with the door closed and ate them all in one sitting. She said she subsequently felt quite unwell, but didn't regret it one bit!
She's vegan now (doesn't eat meat, fish, dairy products, or use anything made with those things), and says that lf all the things she gave up eating, the only one she still really misses is - you guessed it - Peeps!
-
I had some sugar free peeps last week.
:2thumbsup;
Really?
How do they taste? I mean after all regular peeps are like almost total sugar.
-
Wednesday nihgt, I made the jerk pork tenderloin from the Kidney Friendly Comfort Foods cookbook, with a side of corn (butter and black pepper), threw together a salad from celery, green pepper and some shredded carrot. Dressed it with your basic Dijon vinaigrette.
Tonight, I'm making an Indian-style chicken dish with white rice.
-
Peeps if you buy them now and let them dry out they will be the perfect secret Santa gift... >:D

Tonight for dinner i had a Burrito Supreme and a Toastada from Taco Bell, now i cant stop burping it up, blah :P

i'd be glad to mail you some wattle, but by the time they got there they would probably be stale :(
-
Hamburgers, salad, pudding with strawberrys on top with cool whip. :thumbup;
-
Peeps if you buy them now and let them dry out they will be the perfect secret Santa gift... >:D
Funny isn't it that all peeps are the same but people swear that one color is better tasting than another. ;D
-
Taste comes from input of visual information from the brain as well as other sensory input when applicable. Can't you just hear how good those fajitas taste. It is a wonder and fascinating how the brain works.
-
I had some sugar free peeps last week.
:2thumbsup;
Really?

I'm diabetic so I think they taste great. Even though they're sugar free, they still have sugar-like crystals on the outside.

Had a buffet today with ham, tenderloin beef, lasagna a whole bunch of good stuff boy am I stuffed.
-
pork chop with onions and peppers,white rice,corn and peas, and a big bowl of sherbet.

Roast, Mashed Potatoes w/ Gravy, Whole Kernal Corn, Deviled Egg, Cranberry Sauce and Salad.
I'm trying to lose weight and get into shape... and obviously the only true way to do that is too make sure your calorie intake isn't more than what it should be... to be able to lose 1lb a week the healthy way, I have to eat 1200 calories + whatever amount of calories I exercise off.... let me just say, I have not even come close to mastering this... 1200 a day... I can do that in 1 meal and still be hungry. LOL
-
I hear you there, Angela. Best I can do is between 1300 - 1400 calories (should be 1200 to lose). Even at that, I was starved the first week I started keeping track.
Didn't do as well this weekend, but I didn't stuff myself either (too much Easter candy around!)
-
Went to a friends house today and had ham and potatoes with yellow peppers and mushrooms. It was really good. I'm gonna have to watch my eating before I bust. :D
-
My home-made chili. Low salt, moderate potassium.

Was it beanless?
-
I had a small amount of Honey Baked ham, with brocolli casserole, a little potato salad (I don't have to closely watch potassium), greenbeans, corn, rolls and pineapple pudding w/ nilla wafers.
My nut told me last week that ham is the worst meat to eat. >:D

Yes, it was without beans. A variation on George Jung's recipe.
It was sooo good.

Tonight I went for seafood enchiladas.
-
Meatballs with honey bbq sauce over rice. (Wattle's idea!) - I'm going to go cook it now, and fill up before my "no food after midnight" surgery deadline is here!
-
Good luck Jbeany tomorrow.
-
Last night we had homemade Indian - authentic Indian made by my very white husband who was taught by a Sikh friend and his aunts! Man it was good!!
Chana dal, tofu tikka masala, basmati rice with peas....yummy! Then we had Indian spice tea for desert! I think tomorrow hubby is making pizza with goat cheese, pesto, red onions, peppers - he's the best!! I do cook too but it's so much better when someone else does!
-
Last night was meatloaf, cheesy potatoes, green beans, big salad and jello.
And i hit my calorie goal for the day. Woohoo. :thumbup;

How do you guys eat all this stuff and keep your potassium from going sky-high? I watch mine pretty carefully (never any potatoes, tomatoes, chocolate) and my potassium is still only 5.6. I'm envious, is all.

If it werent for being on PD, i probably wouldnt be here at all, see, on PD i do it daily so it cleans out the potassium through the night. On hemo i had big fights with potassium, now, doesnt seem to be a problem, thank God ;)
Last night i had nothing, i ate 3/4 of a hot dog at Costco around 3:30 pm and the crust to my hubby's pizza, :-\

Steak Fries: Cut Potato into steak fires and soak for 4 hours to get out as much K as possible. Then line a cookie sheet with foil. Rub EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) on them and season with Mrs. Dash. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes. Very good as a side dish.

Those sound great! Don't forget to peel them. The skin of a potato has tons of potassium. You'll cut out 1/3 to 1/2 of the K count by just peeling them. :2thumbsup;

But doesnt the leeching help eliminate potassium from the peeling as well??

But doesnt the leeching help eliminate potassium from the peeling as well??
Skins will not leach as well as flesh. You'd need to soak the peel to the point it practically disintegrated. If I remember correctly a medium potato has about 900 mg of potassium with the skin and it goes down to about 500 mg without the skin. Ditch those skins. :2thumbsup;
My parents would be so proud that this is the kind of stuff I remember from college. :D
-
What is Mrs Dash ???
??? Yeah... what is Mrs Dash?
But they sound good. :P
-
This is Mrs Dash - http://www.mrsdash.com/
A whole line of salt-free seasonings and marinades. Absolutely wonderful!

Surprise surprise as Gomer Pyle used to say. Word travels fast when food is about. Today it was barbecued tri-tip, extra barbecue sauce, and a big tray of boston baked beans at 10AM. We're shooting the sequel to "Blazing Saddles" here this afternoon and we've all been invited to participate. About 1PM we'll all sit in a circle and simulate the campfire scene. There will be no fire but plenty of pookie as Zach would say. Don't come here today but if you do cover your nose or have a cold.
-
That's good info about the skins. I always peel them anyway, because I'm usually making mashed potatoes or potato soup. Thank you so much.

Rally's is just another burger chain. The burgers used to be really good, but the quality has gone down a bit, but they are still ok i guess ::)
What i had was more like a Carne Asada Nacho Salad, it had the freshly named corn tortilla chips on the bottom, then beans (ask for light so they dont put too much) then they put monterey jack cheese, then the carne asada steak then finely shredded lettuce, sour cream and guacamole on top, sometimes (if i am not getting too much heartburn) i will take the salsa and pour it on top. and there ya have it. muy delicioso ;)

We had a very strange dinner last night. This concoction is a bit weird, but tasted really good. We took 2 soft shell taco flour tortias and put cheese in them to make quesadillas. Cooked those up. While those were cooking we took some Hebrew National hotdogs and cooked those up. We also cooked up a pot of chili (Wasn't my wifes homemade stuff but it worked ok). Once the quesadillas were cooked we took them and wrapped them like buns around the hotdogs. Add the chili on top, and you have quesadillas chili dogs. They were soooooooooo good. Mmmmmmm.

Did you guys ever think about how often kidney patients talk about food? Maybe that is why this thread is so popular. I remember talking about food constantly in the dialysis unit. Everyone knew each other's favorite foods and restaurants and food was always being brought in and shared with the patients. Kinda makes my hungry just thinking about that. Seriously...this stuff doesn't happen every day. Today was sort of an exception to the rule. But it happens often enough! :thumbup;
-
Tonight i made a roast with a side order of roasted potatoes and baby carrots, refried beans and beef rice-a-roni, heated up some flour tortillas, cut up some cucumbers and took it to my hubby for lunch, :P ;)

Bologna sandwhich is always good. :P
I'm making "Fried" chicken tonight.. it's covered with cornflakes and cooked in the oven. I'm also having steamed veggies and salad. Mashed potatoes and cream corn for the rest of the family.
-
I used to make what I would call a Bologna boat or bowl when I was younger. Still do once in a while. I take a single slice of bologna (the kind with the red plastic works best, but any kind will do), and a slice of American cheese. I'm sure other cheese would work for this too, but that is what was in the house. Put the bologna on a microwave safe plate and put the cheese on the bologna. Pop it in the microwave and cook it on high for how ever it takes for the bologna to curl up into a bowl shape and the cheese to melt inside. The outside edges of the bologna may get a little crispy, but it is oh so yummy.
-
An order of chicken nachos from El Pollo Loco. Problem is I ate the whole thing. Oh..no jalapenos.
-
New York sirloin,white rice and a salad.

First time I've read this thread. We do seem to talk about food alot!! Every dialysis unit has someone watching the food network channel, ever notice that? And we can't eat half of it! Tonight was shrimp and pasta in a lemon, butter, fresh basil & white wine sauce with garlic bread... Yum -o!!!

My husband and I know most of the truck stops out there, the Flying J has a good restaurant and they are all over the country. The Petro Stopping Center is good. There's this one truck stop in Maryland that has a huge parking lot for trucks. I think it is a BP, and they serve wonderful lasagna on Wednesdays. I don't know if they still do. :clap;

How do you say bad? Today it was some leftover Armenian style barbecue from last night. Beef and chicken kebabs, rice, yogurt, salad, and a bit of pita bread. The bad part was a glazed cinnamon roll I bought for the kids the other day. They didn't eat them all so I had one today. Good taste but a bad move!

Wooohooo - first visit to the family restaurant for the season - oink, oink, oink, I had the buffet! I had turkey, broasted chicken, prime rib, mashed potatoes and gravy (there was a little salad and garlic bread in there too). Well, my albumin is low anyhow, right? I had the house specialty for dessert - bread pudding with raisins and cream. Heaven!

Yummy Susie! Enjoy!
I had leftover shells and cheese sauce from the Italian restaurant we went to Friday night. Then Ben and Jerry's Cheesecake Ice cream. I am not attempting to add salads into my diet. There are greens in the fridge tonight! And I do not mean mold.

Whats Vanilla muscle milk?
Muscle Milk is an "evolutionary" muscle formula promoting efficient fat burning, lean muscle growth and fast recovery from exercise. Metabolically favorable ingredients stimulate growth and recovery in a similar manner to mother's milk nourishing a baby.
got that from a body builidng website
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/cs/milk.html is this what it is Chicken Little?

Yep. I learned about it from Zach. :2thumbsup;
I get the ready to drink Vanilla Creme at The Vitamin Shoppe.
This is it - http://www.cytosport.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=20
The small size has 21 grams of protein. It's hard for me to drink straight, but blended with frozen berries or fruit it's milkshake like. :thumbup;
-
I need to lose weight but eat more protein and obviously avoid potassium and phosphorous. Would it be good for me when I exercise?
-
Lasagne and Garlic Bread. ;D

It depends on your potassium and phosphorus restrictions. I'd take a print out of the nutritional stats from Muscle Milk site and ask your dietician or doctor.
At 220 calories, with 50 calories for the frozen berries I add, it makes for a pretty lo-cal meal. :beer1;
-
homemade chicken and noodles and mashed potatoes
cranberry raspberry jello
I don't know about that muscle milk stuff but I like to drink Boost. It's a protein drink. I usually buy it at Walmart. I like the chocolate and vanilla ones. The stuff in the bottle tastes much better I think. The Boost in the can has a metallic taste to it. I'll have to ask my dietician about the muscle milk next time I see her. :2thumbsup;
-
Mhmmm baby....homemade bread is done, gonna have a nice big-o slice with butter. :P ;D
nice 'n' warm 'n' buttery.......

There are also a variety of other protein drinks premade and protein powders that you mix with water that are lower in K and PO4 if you really need to watch it.
Designer Whey
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard
Cytosport Complete Whey
Isopure liquid protein drink
Also there is a couple of the MetRx protein bars that are fairly low and also some of the Zone protein bars

I had nothing for dinner :-\ I had a nap and when i woke up I realized it was too late to eat because I have to do a 14 hr fast for bloodwork tomorrow. I am starving....And i really wish i didn't read the post about homemade bread with melted butter. AHHHHH!!!!
-
Homemade bread? Yummmmmmy - I'll bring the honey. . .
I bought a protein bar to try for a snack at dialysis today. I spent an eternity in the store reading all the ingredients, trying to find the one that had the lowest phos and potassium and a decent amount of protein. Found one I'd thought I'd try, and then when I pulled it out at dialysis today, I read the rest of the label. The other part, where they talk about "gastrointestinal discomfort" and "laxative effect". Oooops. So I decided not eat it while I was going to be stuck in a chair for 4 hours. ;D
Maybe I'll be brave and try it tomorrow when I'm planning on being home all day!
Dinner - wait, did I have any dinner? I think I just picked at all the munchies in the fridge.

I used to not go in for my fasting tests until noon sometimes. I used to eat pretty late, because I got home from work late. But I'm not hungry in the morning.
I had part of a chicken pot pie for dinner. I can't eat too much after I put my evening fill in. There just isn't enough room. :-X

Tonight, i just whipped me up some s'ghetti, and that's pretty much about it :)

Last night my wife and I went to the Cheesecake Factory with a friend of mine. We had never been before and I have to say the food was really good. Also the portion size definitely matches the price (Cost is a little high, but the portions are huge). I had an eggplant sandwich with red peppers, onion, garlic mayo, and mozzarella cheese. It was quite yummy.

We had sort of a one-pot wonder - ground beef sauteed with onion and zucchini, seasoned with pepper and garlic. Served over rice. I added parmesan cheese on mine. It was really good, and the first time I've cooked in several weeks! :clap;

Has anyone ever made a Crock Pot Meatloaf? I saw a recipe for it on allrecipes.com, but didn't know how it would come out.
Thanks!

Has anyone ever made a Crock Pot Meatloaf? I saw a recipe for it on allrecipes.com, but didn't know how it would come out.
i've used my crock pot to make stuffed bell peppers, the stuffing is very similar to meatloaf. they came out just fine and are way yummy. a meatloaf should work just fine.
-

Uhhh, I don't think I'd do it. Meatloaf to me is all about the crispy edges. I bake mine in mini loaf pans, so there are more edges.
-
:yahoo; Heph just took me out for chinese buffet! It was good, oh so good! :yahoo;
-
I went to Costco today and they had beautiful 2 packs of round roast. I have one in the oven roasting with tons of onions and veggies and the other will get thrown in the crockpot tomorrow.
I may not have any room left to eat them if I don't lay off the pallet of cherries I got though. I love cherry season.
-
today we went shopping in hutch and then ate out at chili's. i had the honey bbq steak, corn on the cob, garlic bread and mashed potatoes and a blue pacific margarita. That was lunch, now for supper we are having brisket, mac and cheese, pot. salad and some other junk. ;)
-
Meat enchiladas, beans, rice and a diet coke and of course the binders.
For those of you wondering what a One Pot Wonder is at my house. It is everything thrown into one pot by the hubby and I wonder what is in it. It is good stuff when he gets going with it. He can make a wonderful beef stew just by adding stuff from the cupboard into the pot. He can only cook One Pot Wonders. Thank God he CAN cook at all!
-
Half a small chicken breast and lots of red onions and green peppers. I was still stuffed from my lunch indulgence, a whopper w/ cheese... bleh, I regreted eating it afterwards.

Ummm, I don't think I'll be tasting Menudo any time soon. I grew up with my mom cooking tripe for my dad and UGH the smell and the look. He also used to eat the pigs feet and pigs knuckles. None of my siblings ever ate this stuff, we were pretty much grossed out :clap;
On another note, the crockpot meatloaf was pretty good. Normally I like it crunchy, but this was a nice alternative. Next time I think I'll cut down the time from 6 hrs to 5.

I forgot to put what i had for dinner last night, some homemade chili beans with cornbread and a homemade hamburger, it was the BESTEST!!!! ;) ;)

:-X OMG there is no reason to be eating those parts of the animal. Sorry Susie I'm with Tubes. I wouldn't make a very good Mexican... you can beat me too! Although I love the Aussie take on Mexican. :P Tacos and Burritos mmmmmm
Tonight we are having Curry Meatballs, rice and steamed vegies. :beer1;

this thread makes me sooooooooo hungry. i'm going to stop cooking and have dinner with you all. and even though i have a hispanic surname i'll pass on the menudo (sorry susie) i would like some of my mother-in-laws cheese and onion enchilada though. she was bedridden and i can still "hear" her yelling from the bedroom. "you be sure you soak those tortillas before you fry them!!!!!)

Oh and lots of pills.

Tweetykiss, i appreciate your concern but please, come on, if i want someone to tell me what to eat and what not to eat, then i'd listen to my dietician!!! Thanks anyways :)
So, on that note, for tonight i had some enchilada casserole, spanish rice and beans ;)

Goofynina, we could have put our meals together and had a fiesta. I had a shredded beef burrito with beans and rice. And a diet coke.

How do you make your shredded beef? I would love to try to make it at home. :)

We had a traditinal Newfoundland meal tonight. Most people here call it "cooked supper or dinner". You boil veggie (cabage, carrot, turnip(rutabega) and potatoes) in a pot with salt meat. Some places it is called salt briskett. I had a chicken roasted and gravy with it. You also make puddings from bread that you boil in the pot with the veggies. Can also do a pease pudding with it. Make it from split yellow peas. You put the puddings in a bag or wrap them in foil wrap. You can also have dumplings. It is delicious. Some cookbooks have a recipe for New England dinner. It is almost the same.

I fed my husband Salmon, broccoli and macaroni and I had mac and cheese and broccoli.....my husband had a kidney friendly pasta dish and not the same one I did.....
-
Joe finished off the baked ziti (we are ziti'ed out!) and I got a Sonic hotdog!

I fed my husband Salmon, broccoli and macaroni and I had mac and cheese and broccoli.....my husband had a kidney friendly pasta dish and not the same one I did.....
Tweetykiss you seem to always cook two different meals, one for your husband and one for you. Why is that? :urcrazy;
-

Tweetykiss you seem to always cook two different meals, one for your husband and one for you. Why is that? :urcrazy;
Since he is the one on the restricted diet, I have to watch each and every bite he takes so I cook only low sodium recipes and no salt and limited protein.....in other words; kidney friendly diets.....
I on the other hand have no diet restrictions so I can eat everything in the grocery store but there are now two factors that may come into play which may change my diet 1) If he needs a transplant, I will have to watch my diet so he gets a good kidney since I will be his donor if all goes well... 2) I may not be able to fix for myself whatever I want since he is starting to crave his old meals like he asked me last night if he could have some of my mac and cheese and I had to say a firm NO....he also wanted one of those bottled tamales you can buy at the store and that has over 900 mg. of sodium so I may have to give up my favorite foods so he is not reminded of his "good ole days"......
-
Husbands Dinner last night --four eggs, 2/3 cup tight grits with no salt butter, two toasts.
my dinner- three eggs, two cups mushrooms and onions, with two slices fat-free cheese
-
I almost always have a modified menu from what I make my husband too. No reason for him to suffer from my restrictions. My health declines pretty rapidly when I go off my diet and eat what he eats.
He had cheese pizza and salad with ranch dressing last night. I had a small bowl of rice and some fruit. :-\

:bandance; Sunday night Roast Lamb with mint. Roast vegies as well. mmmmmmmm
-
Last night we went to Red Lobster and I had the fiesta special which is crab legs, lobster tail, fried shrimp, shrimp scampi, and baked potato. I also had the clam chowder soup and salad and the only things I had to bring home were the shrimp scampi and potato......I pigged out and I know I have put on five pounds by now....
My husband had the rainbow trout broiled and no seasoning along with steamed veggies and a salad but no dressing since they don't have oil and vinegar. I only let him eat half the fish since he is only allowed three ounces which was half of the fish.....
-
*Tweetykiss, please read your pm i sent you re-your signature line* thank you
Last night i had chorizo and egg cooked with tomatoe and onions with a flour tortilla, boring but delicious ;) ;)
-
I have a roast (beef) cooking in the crockpot. I just put the meat in there, a quartered onion, a bunch of pepper, and about 1/2 a bottle of beer and it smells sooooo good. It got started a little late though, so it needs about another hour.

The dentist, four fillings, composite bond, yada yada, and still numb so probably nothing for a while.
Have you drooled?
I got my first filling and my first shot of novocaine last fall. After the dentist I went and ran a bunch of errands and every place I went people kept asking me if I needed help, with concerned voice. ??? When I got home my hubby fell on the floor laughing. I had apparently been out in public and drooling for hours. My entire face, neck and front of my sweatshirt were soaking wet! I looked like a rabid dog. :rofl; I hope you're doing better.
We had sole in lemon sauce and green beans for dinner.
-
Hubby had a can of spaghetti for supper (Franco American) and I had a hotdog and fries. Too busy cleaning basement to cook!!

-
Yesterday, I marinated chicken breasts in Newmans Light Lively Lime dressing. It was soooo yummy!! The dressing has such a nice light taste with a hint of lime, definitely not overpowering.
We grilled the chicken, made some pasta salad and corn on the cob. A very light, delish meal. For dessert we had some strawberries with sprinkled splenda and light cool whip. Oh and binders for Rob ;)
-
I had sauce for dinner.
I put together a bolognese sauce last night and it simmered until dinner today. I use the Buca di Beppo recipe, which is so good. After spoonful after spoonful of sauce all day though, I had no room for dinner. :urcrazy;
-
I made hamburgers on the George Foreman and tater tots.

We're having grilled chicken with salad and corn muffins.

I absolutely ADORE having a chef for a boyfriend!

I had Tender grain fed eye fillet steak served with barbecued prawns, Balmain bug in a dijjion mustard sauce served on a garlic mash. mmmmm it was great oh so good..
-
sounds very low-carb amanda- I had to look up the bug though ;D I was kinda worried for a minute there, everything else sounded so good!
-
Bug? You ate a bug? Please explain what that is to me?
-
The Balmain Bug -
An absolute favourite from our tropical waters and east coast fishery. This is a substitute to lobster and some times referred to as the Shovel-nosed Lobster. Serve barbecued in the shell or Salt & Pepper tails.
-
Looks yummy! Put anatha B.B. on da barbi for me please. :beer1;
-
Last night we had low-carb mu-shu pork (no pancakes, though).
Tonight we're having low-carb crab cakes - no breadcrumbs, eggs help keep everything together. Probably going to give him asparagus and have a salad for myself.
Combining low-carb for hubby and renal for me gets tricky...at least I'm doing PD and can go higher protein.
-
Last night for dinner i had BBQ Baby octopus... it was great. :thumbup;
-
First bugs, now octi . .. but she doesn't like chocolate. :urcrazy;
-
Crumbed Lamb Cutlets, Zucchini, Corn on the Cob, Carrots, Snow Peas, Asparagus and Mashed Potato.
Butterscotch and Pecan Pudding with Ice Cream.
Pretty much "The Last Supper" before I get back on my diet tomorrow and increase my exercise. Getting back into it. Knowing that the transplant won't be long now is a big motivator.
-
First bugs, now octi . .. but she doesn't like chocolate. :urcrazy;

hey there is a big differance between eating seafood and bigs feets...... feet are dirty... ;D
-
I have tried lobster, if not an Australian Bug. I don't like it - or really any seafood much at all. Most of it makes me queasy when I eat it. Someone told me once I must be super-sensitive to something in seafood - was it iodine? Something like that. I don't think I'm ready to try an octopus, either! I've had elk, bear, buffalo, pheasant, duck, quail and antelope, though. Doesn't that count as adventurous?

yes jbeany i think it does!! i don't think i could ever be a vegetarian i love meat products way to much!!
yes my sister can;t eat much seafood either... she gets queasy.. the smell alone makes her spew.
-
;D you Americans are not adventurous with your foods!! BORING! :waving;
I have tried several out of the ordinary things. Buffalo, Ostrich, Alligator, Squid, Shark, and probably a few others I cant think of right now. None of the odd animals I would be able to find to eat normally in my area except Buffalo, the rest I guess would be considered exotic.
-
How I have a question....my husband is tired of the restricted diet....he wants a steak, mashed potatoes, gyros, polish sausages, and Italian beef and now that he is on dialysis, is it safe to cheat since the machine will clean him out or should I still be very watchful? I don't want to "kill" him by cheating.....
-
Hey Tweetykiss, nice to see you back, I was getting worried. How are your hubby's labs? If his potassium is low or in the normal range, then let him have a little mashed potatoes, how is his protein? let him have a little steak. I can understand how you can be scared of losing him, but i think not allowing him the foods he loves (in moderation of course) will eventually make living with him unbearable, lol, I think we all eat the foods we love, we just need to know our limits. You take care girlfriend and keep us posted on how he is doing ok, Good luck to you both... :cuddle;
-
tweety, now that he's on dialysis, he's going to need more and more protein, so yes, serve him the steak, beef, etc. Dialysis strips protein, and his albumin will drop too low if he doesn't get enough. They should be checking his potassium on a weekly basis, so get those results every week from the nurse. Don't wait around for the dietian - the one at my center didn't seem to get the results for several days after the labs were actually taken. If his potassium is in the normal range, he can have an occasional serving of potato. Just don't make it the main focus of the meal, or give him seconds of it. Don't forget his binders, though - increasing his meat consumption will raise his phosphorus if he's not taking enough binders.
-
I had chips and salsa, dang good but I think that is more like a snack.
Has anyone skipped eating just because they were too (lazy) to cook? For me it's not really lazy, I just am experiencing so darned much leg and knee pain lately. Guess the pain overpowered the hunger tonight.
-
Sluff i hope your leg and knee are better.
Ok here is a picture from my sisters bridal shower at my place. It's a selection of desserts. You sweet lovers will love this!
-
Is there a particular dessert that you could say is native to Australia? I would love to try something new.
-
There are a small number of desserts and sweet dishes that are popularly thought of as being unique to Australia:
Anzac biscuits
Frozie cup
Lamingtons
Pavlova
Vanilla slice
Musk stick
All of them are great sweets or desserts. Most those cakes in the picture i attached were not really australian, most of them were italian style cakes and sweets.
-
Thanks Amanda. The desserts look so real I almost took a bite out of my monitor. :lol;
-
Amanda...it all looks great. And it looks like death on a plate for a diabetic...good I didn't eat any! Seriously...what a yummy spread!
-
Wow Amanda your mum was sure busy was that my favorite apple slice i spied on the table?i
-
well damn amanda...it would of been nice of u too share...not just the pic :D

chicken and noodles w/ mashed potatoes....left over wedding cake from my cousins wedding that i didnt make it too.
-
Jeees you guys are too hard to please! if you want i could ship all of you some cakes but i don't think it would look that good by the time it got to you all.
And yes charee, its your favorite apple slice you had at my place! :)
-
Tonight i had a turkey breast sammich with a slice of cheese :o and 1/2 corn on the cob (plain) Now i want to eat the other half of that corn with some mayo, parmesian cheese and some hot sauce :P
-
I actually ate healthy tonight. Marinated Salmon, Asian Broccoli Slaw, and shrimp.
-
Dinner was cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and baby carrots with dip, wheat thin crackers with a little bit of sharp cheddar, and applesauce for dessert. I had to make up for my junk-food lunch from KFC!
-
Now i want to eat the other half of that corn with some mayo, Parmesan cheese and some hot sauce :P
That is the one thing I love about visiting Chicago. You can go to just about any corner in some neighborhoods and find a corn vendor. Mmmmm, I want some now thanks Goofynina. ;D

They are called Elote's and over here, they ride bikes through your neighborhood honking there "honka honka" horns, lol, i am glad to hear i am not the only one that likes to eat them like that, i am surprised at how many people get grossed out over the thought of eating it that way, they just dont know what they are missing huh :2thumbsup;

Absolutely, you have not had corn until you have had it like that. I just wish I could find it somewhere else other than just in the city. Yeah you can make it at home, but it's just not the same.
-
I have NEVER heard of having corn that way!!! I can understand parmeson, I love that stuff. But Mayo???? Hot sauce???? You guys are having us on, right???? Right????
-
I have NEVER heard of having corn that way!!! I can understand parmeson, I love that stuff. But Mayo???? Hot sauce???? You guys are having us on, right???? Right????
I guarantee if you'd try it, you'd love it :2thumbsup; You can also make it with canned corn, just drain the corn, add about a tablespoon of mayo, some parmesian cheese and a couple of shakes of Tapatio Sauce (that's my favorite) and mix it up and ENJOY!!! It really is quite delicious :2thumbsup;
-

-

No we are not pulling your leg on this one. It is a very popular Mexican snack/treat/food (not sure how to classify it). In the city of chicago you can go to just about any neighborhood (won't find this downtown unless it's during the taste or one of the other festivals) and find these people with carts set up on the corners with big golf umbrellas that are selling the corn, fruit, flavored icees, and numerous other things.
-
Hm. I think I just may try this! So is this just for corn OFF the cob? Can you do it on the cob too?
-
Hm. I think I just may try this! So is this just for corn OFF the cob? Can you do it on the cob too?
Normally it's done on the cob, but as Goofynina said here you can make it easily at home with canned corn.
You can also make it with canned corn, just drain the corn, add about a tablespoon of mayo, some Parmesan cheese and a couple of shakes of Tapatio Sauce (that's my favorite) and mix it up and ENJOY!!!
-
Okay. I'm convinced!!! Heck, any excuse to have mayo. and parmesan. and corn. Okay, and hot sauce too!!!! I admit it, I like my hot food!!! I was sooo jealous when you guys got to go to that taco place in California, it was featured on food network, and it was soo cool! I was thinking, man, I KNOW people who've gone there!!!! Tacos.....yum!!!!! Heck, just about anything spicy is YUM!!!!!

How I have a question....my husband is tired of the restricted diet....he wants a steak, mashed potatoes, gyros, polish sausages, and Italian beef and now that he is on dialysis, is it safe to cheat since the machine will clean him out or should I still be very watchful? I don't want to "kill" him by cheating.....
He can have all that meat, on dialysis you need protein. Plus if his K is okay he can have a small serving of potato. If you know how to leech the K out of them he can have them more often and a bigger serving--look for leeching potato cause I don't remember how it's done but it takes out the K out of the potato. Does he like cauliflower? I used to add a small amount of potato to the mashed cauliflower, ot add mashed carrot to it also. I like vegetables so these kinds of things always worked for me. I also add a sprinkling of cheese to the mashed cauliflower, the new cheese sprinkles by Kraft with the different cheeses like the Meditteranean (sp) with the feta is great. Just a little bit adds a lot of flavor.

Meadow is correct, leaching the potatoes will enable him to have more, just peel and cut the potatoes into cubes, soak them in water for 2-3 hours, drain, rinse, and add more water to soak again (some say only soak once), another 2-3 hours, then drain that, and rinse it off, and either boil OR fry to your heart's content!

Last night grilled shrimp and spinach salad. The kids wanted to go out so we took them to Appleby's, always a favorite of my teenager. Of course all the teenagers wanted to do was play MASH.

-

Tonight the smell of homemade Pad Thai is wafting into the office from the kitchen. Its almost ready.
-
This week I'm doing a soup diet that I read in Good Housekeeping magazine. Yesterday I made a HUGE pot (2 pots actually!) of delicious vegetable soup. Every day I follow the meal plan and can eat the veggie soup if I get hungry - for dinner I add different things to the soup. Today was cottage cheese with bananas, strawberries and walnuts for breakfast; a roast beef sandwich, soup and milk for lunch; and for dinner I added white kidney beans, whole wheat rotini, basil and romano cheese to the soup to turn it into Minestrone, plus I had fresh strawberries topped with strawberry yogurt. yummmm!
-
Yesterday we had a cheese and cracker plate with Stilton and lemon rind and a cheddar with cranberries. This was followed by a jumbo shrimp (oxymoron) cocktail. Broiled giant lobster tails with lemon butter, prime rib and French fries made up the entree. A bottle of champagne enhanced the meal and a piece of cheesecake ended our anniversary meal. A sufficient amount of renagel covered my many sins. I love to cook when I'm not dealing with technology.
-
My sis made us some baked macaroni, with like a spaghetti sauce, mortadella and boiled eggs through it, Was quite yummy and hey bonus didnt have to cook !

Went to a "Simply Tastefully"
extortion sales party hosted by a friend. You know, one of those where they invite you over so you can buy things you don't need so they can get free stuff? At least this one sold food - which I can use, even it was a bit pricey. (An improvement over the last couple I went too - overpriced costume jewelry that I don't wear, and overpriced candles that make me sneeze.) Most of the really tasty stuff had too much phosphate in it. I think we sampled about 30 different products. Who needs a meal after that?
They had a mix for beer bread that was wonderful. Too many added phosphates in the mix, but now I'm going to have to go raid my father-in-law's stash of beer and make some from scratch - yummmmmmmm!
-
Well my sister Fiona came over to cook for us with her Hubbie Kevin and my niece Renee. We had potato salad, garden salad, corn on the cobs and steaks.
Taste better when you don't cook !

Chilii beans with onons & celery in it, tomato sauce, kielbasa sausage, and rice. That's it, usually. I may add other stuff, but that's my basic recipe. BAD for me, so it's an annual indulgence for me.

I double leech- i soak them - half a pot of potatoes to a full pot of water for 6 or 7 hours, changing the water a couple of times....then I bring them to a boil, pour off the hot water, then fill with cold water and boil until tender, then pour off that water- then I either drain and dry, and fry, or mash with butter and non-dairy creamer. Leeching removes most of the potassium. Always peel the potatoes as a significant amout of potassium is in the peeling and will not leech out.
-
Thanks, Glitter I am now a leech expert...Boxman
Does anyone know the amount of potassium after leeching?
-
Tonight i had lunch with hubby at work, we had Mickey D's. I ate a regular #1 (Big Mac) no cheese with a light lemonade and 8 renagels :o

Everyone's different, but on average, each Renagel handles about 70 mg of phosphorus.

My neph and dietician are well aware of the amount of Renagel i take, they have never told me not to take so many, problem is, even though i am taking alot, my stupid phos. is still high :banghead; I think they are going to cut down my renagel and add a Fosrenol, (ohhh yum) :sarcasm;

We cook mostly at home. I'm still a a little paranoid about bacteria and the portions are always so big. The kids have gotten used to that and we love the dinner table time. Silly but true.
Last night my oldest daughter and I made paninis with my new press and grill; fresh turkey and provolone. They were delicious.

Some friends had a dinner party last night. They grilled marinated chicken breasts, and each family brought a side dish. There was mac and cheese, spaghetti, roasted veggies that had apricots and pecans (YUMMY!), cole slaw (low carb, made by my husband), and mango margaritas. Dessert was bananas that were warmed in a pan with butter, brown sugar, and peanuts, then drizzled with chocolate.
A couple of weeks ago, the lady that made the veggies last night provided us with a chicken she had made. Roasted with thyme, basil, coriander, and one or two others, though no salt, and cooked with potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet peppers and pineapple. I finally got the recipe, and can't wait to try making it myself, even though I have to eat all the potatoes by myself, since hubby's diet doesn't allow them and my son won't touch a potato that's not fried.
-
Tonight my parents and I are going to my Grandma's. She is making Roast Beef with Green Beans, Cole Slaw and Dinner Rolls. Dessert is HOME MADE brownies that we are bringing and my Grandma is making a Carrot Cake :) YAY
-
We cook mostly at home. I'm still a a little paranoid about bacteria and the portions are always so big. The kids have gotten used to that and we love the dinner table time. Silly but true.
Last night my oldest daughter and I made paninis with my new press and grill; fresh turkey and provolone. They were delicious.
I know what you mean Vandie! I waited almost a year before going to my favorite Mexican restaurant...and I will always ask for my own basket of chips and salsa!
Have a venison roast in the slow cooker with carrots, celery, potatoes....I will eat after I do 2 hours of aqua fitness so it will taste extra good!!!! Speaking of cottage cheese - I love to spoon some onto a plate that has a little gravy on it - and I love it on baked potatoes rather than having sour cream!
-
Tonight I am making Brisket with rice, green beans, broccoli and a nice loaf of french bread..yum! I'm hoping it comes out good, I'm using my sister's recipe, it sounds gross, but supposedly tastes delish....her kids swear by it.
We managed to make it in to the Olive Garden before the witching hour hit last night. Here the witching hour is when people cram the restaurants to capacity and you're looking at a long wait.
Anyway I did spaghetti with meatballs, salad, and breadsticks. Finished the leftovers at midnight. :thumbup;
I have tried the Olive Garden twice and just do not like their food...they do have a good salad dressing though.
-
For lunch today Ono Hawaiian..the Seafood Mix which is cod, shrimp, and barbecued chicken with macaroni salad, and rice. Katsu and teriyaki sauces on the side completed the meal. :clap;
-
We had grilled hot dogs, potato chips and cole slaw...nothing else was thawed. We're doing salmon tomorrow to make up for tonight's unhealthiness!
-
I made pork chops and mashed potatoes and gravy. My best pork chops ever, if I do say so myself!
-
Chicken Stirfry with sugar snap peas, mushrooms, baby button squash, onion, red capsicum, celery and roasted cashews.
With Teriyaki sauce served on rice. mmmmmmmmm
-
Taco salad night here - I like mine with catalina dressing on the taco meat. I'm even going to be good with the cheese - only a teeny bit! My dietitian would be soooo proud!

Wow, that's EXACTLY what I had for dinner last night (except for the cashews... mmm that sounds good)

jb, that's how my husband likes his, as well...also mixes some green olives in. I use sour cream and salsa, personally.

I made the brisket last night and it was so yummy! Very tender and flavorful. Here's the recipe in case anyone wants to try:
3 1/2 - 5 lb of brisket
1 can of whole cranberry sauce
1 packet of dry onion soup mix
Pour cranberries over the brisket, then pour the onion soup mix over. Cover with foil, cook at 325 degrees for 4-5 hours (you want to make sure the liquid doesn't burn in the pan).
I know this sounds gross, but it is sooo good. You don't taste cranberies or onion soup, but it tastes YUM!

We went to Red Lobster for my birthday dinner. We split a shrimp cocktail appetizer; then I had lobster bisque, shrimp scampi and crab legs. My husband had brought a lemon cake with coconut icing with us, so had that for dessert. Not bad, though the crab legs were shredding pretty easily. The cake was yumnmy!
-
Oh my gosh. I'm supposed to go to Red Lobster this weekend, I hope we make it, the weather is not cooperating so far!
Yesterday I had food to cook up, so I made bbq ribs in the crockpot, stuck a pork roast in the oven (sloooow!), and made some
cheesy potato soup.
I ended up eating two bowls of soup, and a hunk of the ribs. Good stuff!!!!!

I know this is off topic, but I had a dream last night that all I had in the house to eat was pork! Pork Ribs, Pork Roast, Pork Chops. Very weird dream! Good thing I didn't wake up this morning wanting bacon or sausages! :lol;
-
LOL!!! Isn't it funny how we have such odd dreams????
I bought a package and didn't have room to freeze the indivdual pieces of meat, so....ribbage and roastage!!!!!
The roast will be made into a bbq this weekend for my fiancee! He's looking forward to it!
-
We had pork roast last night, too. Oh so tender, along with northern beans , sliced potatoes cooked in
chicken broth with garlic, and cornbread. So good it nearly makes you swallow your tongue. ;D
Mimi
-
I'm making a roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and my husband begged me for corn bread with bacon. It's the only way he can have corn that I have found so far. Hint, Hint petey :bow;
-
Grilled salmon with maple teriyaki glaze and pineapple salsa and a green salad. I know, the glaze sounds kinda weird, but it worked quite well with the salsa!
-
Turkey on sourdough, followed by an intense fruit salad. I went wild in the produce section - strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, green grapes, kiwi, and fresh pineapple. Mix and top with whipped cream - yummmy! It cost a fortune to buy that much fresh produce up here in the winter, but it was worth it.
-
Oh that fruit salad sounds go good. I justify good food as something I WILL eat. A lot of times
I eat only one meal a day, that's all I can handle. Today it was a bowl of my potato soup, with
broccoli. Oh it was so good.
-
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy, mac n cheese, green peas and lots of binders.
-
Pork chops cooked on the grill, steamed cabbage, baked potatoes and roll.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm good.
Mimi
-
Mimi, save a place, I'll be right there!!!! I'm thinking I'll have pasta with some chicken I have left over! I loves me my pasta!!!
-
I made lasanga last night - noodleless for hubby; extra cheese for me. We're having leftovers tonight. Yumm!
-
noodleless for hubby
??? Isn't that just sauce and cheese? Or do you layer it with vegies? Doesn't he like pasta?
-
yeah, I need to know what noodleless lasagna is, too!
-
Today, I went back to work for the first day in almost six weeks (I've been out on Family Leave since Marvin has had all of his recent problems). After a hard, exhausting day of teaching high schoolers, I came home to find that Marvin had started supper. He made a delicious spaghetti sauce, and all I had to do was cook the noodles! I can't decide if it was the best meal I've had in a looooooong time because : (1) I didn't have to fix it all; or (2) Marvin actually felt like cooking. It was good!

He's doing the low-carb diet (again! Lost 90 pounds last time.), so his lasagna is meat mixed with mushrooms and sauce, layered with cheese and pepperoni. He loves it. I fix it for him, but won't touch it, I'm a carbaholic.
-
Wendy's chicken nuggets, fries and a diet coke.
-
Pork chipotle chili. One of my favorites, but with the warm weather getting here, it's almost time to put the recipe away. :'(
-
delicious fried chicken, corn on the cob, gatorade, grapes and of course my dessert fosrenol
cheers,
Rolando

I finally cooked for the first time in like 5 months. Made chicken enchiladas. Now I just hope I keep them down. It felt good to cook for myself again. I'd been living on sandwiches, yogurt, cereal and crackers basically all those months. Now that I can eat, I need to put on weight FAST. I'm too damn thin now...108 pounds. :'(
I'm going to have to take a road trip and stay with each and everyone of u. Need some good home cookin' to fatten me up. I guess thats what my mom is for, staying with her all of April...here I come 120's. :rofl;

Come on our way. We will take you out and feed you excellent carne asada!

yum yum sushi tonight
-
We had yellow split pea soup with dumplings for supper last night. Not good for a renal diet - loads of phos and potassium but hubby's on nocturnal so he can eat it. Doctor wanted to add phos to his bath last time but he said he would eat more . Big difference from being in center when he had to take binders to get rid of the phos. No binders since he started nocturnal!!! :yahoo; At least he would get to enjoy it!!! Today I have a sirloin roast in the slow cooker and going to make potato salad to have with it.
-
Doing the traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage tonight. In addition to St. Patty's day, it's hubby's birthday, and this is what he wanted.
-
:birthday; KT's hubby!
We're having baked chicken (again) and corn(again) and I might soak potatoes for a million hours (again).
Might make an angel food cake in honor of KT's hubby. ;D
-
:birthday; Mr. KT! I wish I could have the traditional irish meal, alas no one in my house would eat it!! So savor a bite for me KT! I will be having raost chicken and veggies... snoore...
-
KT happy birthday to your husband!
We had the Corned Beef & Cabbage last night, it was yum!!!!
-
Happy Birthday, Mr. KT!!!!! I had a reuben Saturday (before dialysis!!), in honor of St. Patty's Day. It was okay. It was Arby's, and I toasted it
when I brought it home so I would be nice and hot and crispy. NOT as good as mine!!!
-
Katie, Tell hubby :birthday; for me. Corned beef and cabbage is one of Len's favorites, unfortunately he can't have the cabbage right now, maybe next year. HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY.
-
I love corned beef and cabbage!!! I had salmon and veggies for supper.
-
Does anybody know a good/easy recipe for German Red Cabbage? I went to a dinner party a few months ago and a friend of mind did a German theme. She hired a chef to cater the whole thing and one of my favorite that was served was the German Red Cabbage. It was so good. I can't remember the name of the dish. All I can remember is how good it tasted. YMMMM OHHH!
-
Corned Beef today with cheesy rice. YUM :)
-
I am not big on corned beef.
I am making crunchy tacos with seasoned beef, cheddar and jalapeno cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, olives and salsa.
My mom makes stuffed cabbage, its really good but I haven't had it in years.
I love Rueben sandwiches!
-
I have to share this...I made our corned beef in a clay baker with onions, red wine, pickling spices, parsley, and bay leaves. It was so good!!! Next time, I'll use the bigger clay baker so I can put the cabbage in as well. I had to just boil that on top of the stove.
-
I know I know
I had a 12 ounce Miller Lite and don't ask me why , I hardly ever drink :shy;
I ate grilled onions and sauerkraut
brought weenie and bun home for pets :beer1;
-
mmmmm... there is something about a beer with sauerkraut. Reuben and beer AND pickles...
-
Chinese food- every Monday night the hubby brings home Chinese food from this little place off 2nd street. If the food were good... (But then who am I to complain. It is food after dialysis and I did not have to cook it!)
-
Len wanted Greek, so that's what we had. Slovakia plate. It's was pretty good. I had to seed the tomatoes and the cucumbers (he's used to me playing in his food), but it said it tasted good and he is now ready for a nap.
-
I made up a dish. Pork chops browned with onons & celery & mushrooms, some water added after browning, a pan of cornbread stuffing baked, then a handful of cheddar cheese (sharp!) thrown on top of the chops, and mushroom mixture. Actually, I added the cheese to the mustrooms, let them melt, then added the cheese to th chops and then added the melted cheese mushroom mixture on top of the chops.
oooo that was good.
-
Food and a nap- a great combination. I had a carne asada burrito with rice, no beans for lunch!
-
Leftovers - every little tubbie in the fridge on the counter - help yourself to whatever looked good!
-
What's everybody having for Easter dinner. We are going to my daughters, I made macaroni salad and pumpkin cheesecake. There's an old southern Maryland tradition of stuff ham, it's a corned ham that is stuffed with cabbage, kale, onions and red pepper, you poke holes in the ham and stuff it, then bake it for hours and hours. It's really good. Our family will have the normal, ham, turkey, chicken salad, mashed potatoes, pecan sweet potatoes, bunches of vegetables, rolls, and deserts out the butt. Len is looking forwarded to eating today. He is suppose to have labs drawn tomorrow but he says he doesn't care, this is the first time in 7 years that he has felt like eating, and isn't doing dialysis. :yahoo;

Only Chris & I here today (Matt's in Barcelona, lucky thing). Chris is veggie so we had veggie toad in the hole, Mediterranean roast veg, new potatoes and cauliflower followed by fresh fruit salad (for me) and hot cross bun bread & butter pudding (for him). He's gone to work now and I'm off to walk Molly. Happy Easter.
:bunny:
-
It's only three of us, and my son is the world's pickiest eater, so I'm doing ham steak instead of a whole ham.
Ham steak with mustard sauce; ratatouille; collard greens (for hubby, I can't stand them); sweet potato casserole (for me, hubby doesn't do 'taters of any kind); and three different desserts - carrot cake slice for me; yellow cake slice for my son; berries with cream and splenda for hubby. Guess I better start cooking pretty soon!
-
Ours was an almost didn't happen dinner! We have it at my parent's house, but it's been weird since my mom died. My dad has NO concept of what needs to be taken care of, and he's severely depressed anyway, so he's not gonna care. I had a really rough week, and was thinking of NOT coming, but my sister convinced me to anyway. NOBODY bought a ham....I happened to have A slice in my fridge, so when we went there, I stopped and got it, and warmed it for my dad so he could have ham. Everyone else had cheesy potatoes, baked beans, corn casserole, crackers, bread, cheeses, applesauce, and brownies and upside down pineapple cake for dessert.
-
Sirloin steak, baked potatoes, creamed corn, green beans, fruit salad, biscuits and lots of Easter candy for dessert. :basket:
-
Hey KT what are collard greens ???
-
Man, this afternoon I was invited to my cousins home and she had three separate egg dishes, one with crab, one with sausage, and one with ground beef, also there was ham and a hashbrown dish along wit a fruit platter and a rice crispy treat shaped like a bunny. three differant deserts, champagne and wine, what a feast. After (11) days of hospital food I ate like a pig!! ....Boxman
-
Hey KT what are collard greens ???
well, they are sort of like you cooked the tall grass in your yard only used used bacon fat or pork butt or some kind of meat or fat to give them flavor
sometimes we use the pot licker---- the juice from the cooked greens to dip bread or corn bread in
it is not like :puke; :puke; it is like ;D
-
:clap; Good for you boxman. I bet you couldn't eat as much as you wished you could. :cuddle;
-
We had baked ham, potato salad, squash casserole, lime salad, the new cresent rolls, and home made chocolate

Dessert: Huge renal friendly fruit salad (made by me), blonde brownies, butterhorn cookies, pizzaelis, chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, 3 different kinds of cakes. WHEW! :shy;
Can you tell we are Italian?? :bandance;

Wow!!!, I just put on 5lbs just reading that.

Just to set everyone's minds at rest (and following on from some PMs I've had) there are NO toads (or frogs) involved in this recipe :rofl; :rofl;
(nor any bunnies :bunny:)
-
Are collard greens like turnip greens - the green leaves off the top of the turnip!! They are delicious. I had them cooked with the reast of my veggies last night for supper. We had turkey and gravy with it. Greens are really good for you-lots of folic acid plus other stuff. Unless you are on the renal diet or have a clotting problem should eat lots of leafy green veggies!!! That's what greens are leaves!!

Yes, collards are just like turnip and mustard greens and chard and kale. Supposedly not as bitter as mustard greens, though. Here are pictures of it cooked and uncooked, though most people don't cook and eat the stems, since they're very tough and even more bitter than the leaves.
-
KT, pass me some vinegar. Yummmmmmmmmmmm. :)

Twril, Boost is a 'medical' shake bought in stores, it's given to elderly people, as well as those who need the extra nutrients. It comes in chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and sometimes, butter pecan. I drink a couple a week, it's an excellent way for me to get protein, especially when I'm too tired to either cook OR eat. Yes, it is possible to be that tired!!!

Drank the coffee, but only ate a little of the pretzel sticks. Should have stopped at Burger King or Portillo's to get a burger on the way home. Could have gone for some really good Wisconsin chedder cheese soup i it was available here.

BBQ Chicken and Basmati rice...nothing fancy...been nauseaus all day so husband is cooking with the hope that I will be able to eat some.
What is a Tamale? I have no idea but now I am craving them. They sound delicious!!
-
Tamales are a Mexican (or Spanish or Native American) dish made of chopped meat (usually pork or chicken) and seasoned with chile peppers, surrounded by corn dough (masa), wrapped in corn husks, and steam cooked. They are pretty time-intensive to make so most people make them here around Christmas. I keep a few stashed away in my freezer because I love them!
:thumbup;
-
you can also buy them in the frozen food section at the grocers. I like the beef tamales. Okarol you are right though, homemade are the best...Boxman

For tomight, I hade some Rold Gold Mustard Pretzels and decaf coffee.
-
ham 'n beans, homemade cornbread and a chocolate malt from Sonic.

-
Chicken noodle soup from Swiss Chalet.
I have never seen Tamales in Canada. Anyone from Canada know where to buy them, store or restaraunt? They sound absolutey delicious.
-
Tamlales are a plenty here in Texas, so close to the border. Many make them by hand for CHristmas, that is when I usually get a batch. Never made them myself, but they are really good in restaurants too. TOnight I made chicken breaded in almond flour and parmesean cheese and a side of zucchini and tomoates. Tried to make crepes for dessert, but they did not work. :( But I ate the berries and sourcream anyway!
-
For tonight while at class, I had two bags of fries from the cafeteria (no salt yeah!), a decaf coffee, a Devil's Chocolate snack cake from Little Debbie, and a Nature Valley Blueberry Yogurt bar. Geez, I need real food!

I've worked all day, and I'm pooped! Marvin has steaks ready to grill (and he won't let me cook steaks -- he has to do it). He went to the grocery store and bought big baking potatoes (he has them washed, rolled in tin foil, and ready for me to bake) and all the stuff to make a huge salad (my job, too). Then, he called my best friend this afternoon and invited her and her boys over for supper (her husband's working night shift). Marvin's having a treatment now, but he plans to fire up the grill around 6:30. He asked for a big pitcher of sweet tea. Every working wife needs a Marvin!!!

Chicken egg foo yung, steamed rice, crab rangoon, egg drop soup and egg roll.

Last night we had chicken marinated in Italian salad dressing, some chicken flavored rice, mac & cheese, broccoli and some fresh french bread. It was delish! My son had a friend over and this kid can eat, hence the 2 side dishes. Thank God we only have 1 boy, any more and our food bill would be through the roof!
-
Last night was lazy...I made nachos with tortilla chips, heated up some queso, poured that over the chips, and heated up some leftover wendy's chili from my taco salad, and put some sour cream on top. YUM!!!! And lemonade to go with it.... And LOTS of phoslo!!!!

I had a binder's nightmare supper

I don't know how to spell the dessert and neither does spell check but I recommend it
-
Well I had actual food tonight. I went to Chili's and had a 1/2 slab of dry rub ribs with black beans and mashed potatos with pepper sauce. Withchips and sauce as an appetizer. The killer was having two beers, but that bad feeling was gone after an hour of lying down. Don't think I need to eat tomorrow after tonights meal.

Grilled marinated chicken for my son and I. Rob had grilled sausages (lots of renegel with that!). We also had some rice and corn. Sounds boring, but it was yummy!
-
makes about 12 Yorkshire Puddings
1 cup whole milk 1 cup flour
3 large eggs
a pinch of salt
sunflower oil, for baking or juice from the roast (preferred)
muffin tin ( or two)
heat oven to 400°.
mix milk, flour, eggs and salt, cover and let rest for about an hour. fill each cup of the muffin tin with about 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil or meat juice. put in hot oven for about 10 minutes until the oil is flippin' hot. take out and carefully (hot oil!) ladle the mixture into the muffin tin. bake in the middle of the oven for about 20-25 minutes until crisp and golden. it's tempting, but dont open the oven while those yorkshire puddings are baking. they are like a little soufflé and would collapse in a sec.
serve hot with roasted lamb, chicken or roastbeef.
-
:thx; making a roast Sunday and for dessert ==== Yorkshire pudding (Joking) looks better than hushpuppies
they look grrrrrrrreat
-
so the dough sits on the counter til the oil/meat juices are hot? It sure does look good!
I like savories, sometimes more so than sweets, any more!
-
Oh boy yum, yum. I'm going to make me some Box. Thanks.
Had beef tips and garlic potatoes tonite. They were good too.
Mimi
-
My mother makes a roast beef dinner every Sunday. Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes and green beans. Often I only eat the Yorkshire puddings because it is all I want. I LOVE them. You can also make them in a big pan and make just one big one and then fill it with chili. Delicious!!!!!!!!
-
so, I'll be there Sunday for dinner--------------yum and am looking forward to the pudding
is it like a roll or is it soft on the inside? :yahoo;
-
Twirl, they are soft on the inside like pudding. I would also recommend using the meat juice instead of the oil it just gives them a better flavor. Remember don't peak until time is up...Boxman
-
oh my, I want some too!! We'll have a party, how's that? I had a small bottle of chocolate milk
last night for supper, took my night meds with it. Wanted something to make my tummy feel
full without actually eating, and let's face it, if you're gonna have milk...chocolate is the way to
go!!!!
-
Boxman, :thx; and I have a glass see-thru oven door or I would peek. It is something I can't control.

OMG...Yorkshire pudding...sooooooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooood. My british grandmother used to make those with roast beef and brown gravy. She rarely cooks anymore, but there's a British restaurant about 20 miles away that makes roast beef and yorkshire pudding on Friday and Saturday nights. I really need to go again. Soon.
Tonight was simple. Chicken noodle soup and apple slices with warm caramel. Light and delicious.

Mom's homemade hamburgers and 2 dill pickles.
Funny story....earlier I asked what Tamales were and they sounded sooo good. My sister and her boyfriend are travelling around South America for three months and I always look up where they are on the net so I can follow their travels. They were in Salta, Argentina and the web said Salta is known for their Tamales. So, I emailed her and told her she had to try some for me. She did but not in Argentina, she had them in a restaraunt in Bolivia. She said they were delicious and her boyfriend and her were trying to guess if they were beef or pork so they asked the server and it turns out in Bolivia, they make Tamales out of Llama meat. She just about lost her lunch on the table!!!! :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

I've been experimenting with pasta salad a lot lately. I'll use rotini then saute onions and garlic in olive oil. Then I'll add all kinds of things to this saute like bell peppers, etc., even a litttle cabbage. Lately I've been adding chopped green olives and parsley at the end. You can put just about anything in pasta salad.
-
annabanana recipe request please how would it be with the thin spagetti ???
-
Boxman, I hope you read this:
I told my husband I am making roast, gravy, rice, carrots and Yorkshire Pudding,
His reply,"Oh great, we have plenty of Cool Whip and some strawberries to put on the pudding.
-
Twirl, I think it would be fine with thin spaghetti...or really any pasta that you like. Rotini is just my favorite. Here's what I do:
Start the water boiling for the pasta.
Put a little olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat.
Chop a large onion and bellpepper and/or cabbage, carrots or whatever you have.
When pre-heated, add 2 TBLS chopped garlic. (or more if you like garlic.)
Add pasta to boiling water.
Add veggies to oil.
Stir occasionally.
Add chopped basil (very good) and/or other herbs that you like, to veggies and stir.
Chop olives, parsley, etc. and put in a bowl.
Drain pasta and put in bowl with olives, etc.
Dump veggies on pasta and stir.
YUMMY! You can add cold cooked peas and things like that in with the olives/parsley.

We do a lot of pasta salad here too. In addition to the basic peppers, onions, celery, and spices, two of my favorite ingredients are lightly browned ham chunks and corn, straight out of the can (well drained). We add a little mayo, vinegar, and a tiny bit of olive oil. We make plenty, it is delicious freshly made and even better the next day.
-
Deep fried corn on the cob? I'm intrigued!
How is it?
great - cut the corn on the cob in two pieces thru the center
dip in matter - same as for chicken or steak
deep fry until golden brown
drain
that is how we make it but Ryan's is better,
Do you have Ryan's? They serve it.

Boxman, those puddings were so good no one ate the dinner rolls! ( and no need for Cool Whip)
My only question is how do you get them out of the muffin pan without sticking?
I used roast beef broth and did exactly like you said with one exception: I peeked a tiny little peek.
they were not as high rising as the picture you provided but still they were standing on their own.
I used a non-stick muffin pan, it had 12 holes.
I think I will buy beef broth and make them like that and serve with a salad...and with a Pepsi to drink...dang good
I made roast, rice, rolls, carrots cooked in chick broth, corn on cob,and gravy, fresh strawberries and vanilla yogurt.
I only ate the puddings.....4 of them :shy;
When I weigh in the morning, I going to say it was worth it....
PS: my husband says :thx;
-
Instead of the broth use the fat drippings from the roast or mix broth with a little oil. I think that will help and no peaking or they won't rise as high...Boxman

Marvin made his famous baked spaghetti tonight. He had it ready when I got home from school, but we did a treatment first. Then, we ate supper and went to the baseball field (Dixie Youth -- kind of like Little League) to help with a practice session. Good day -- and great spaghetti!
-
petey, how do you make baked spaghetti. It sounds good. Marvin is such a sweetie to have dinner ready for you. Can I borrow him?????

Marvin's Famous Baked Spaghetti recipe --
ingredients: one medium white onion, one green bell pepper, a pound of hamburger meat, one can of Cream of Mushroom soup, one small jar of mushrooms (optional), one small jar of Ragu Traditional Spaghetti Sauce, one small can of tomato paste, one small can of crushed tomatoes, 1/4 cup of water, medium box of spaghetti noodles, shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping -- and amount depends on how much you like and can eat cheese -- Marvin uses 1 - 2 cups)
Directions: Boil spaghetti noodles and brown hamburger meat. Chop up your onion and bell pepper and add it to hamburger meat while it's cooking. When the onions and peppers are tender and the meat is brown, drain. Add all other ingredients (but only add 1/3 of shredded cheddar cheese) to hamburger mixture. When noodles are tender, drain and place them in a baking dish. Stir in the hamburger/tomato/soup/paste mixture with the noodles. Top with remaining shredded cheese and bake on 350 for about 45 minutes (check often to make sure your cheese on top doesn't burn). Marvin said make SURE you add the 1/4 cup of water to the sauce mixture -- if you don't, it will end up too dry (and the water bakes out).
It's delicious!
petey, how do you make baked spaghetti. It sounds good. Marvin is such a sweetie to have dinner ready for you. Can I borrow him?????
...and, willieandwinnie -- there are days I would GIVE you Marvin. But, then, you'd have to help him with his treatments. Wait...you can do that! When other girls ask to borrow him, that's always my response. But, it won't work with you, now will it?
-
I'm going to try Marvin's Spaghetti, sounds good.
petey, when you have one of those days when you feel like giving Marvin away it would be an honor for me to help with his treatments. Len says that after 5 years of sticking him I got good at it. Now that's something to put on my resume. :rofl;

jbeany, are those homemade biscuits you use for the ham biscuits? what are the seasonings? Do you saute the onions first?
Come on girl, give it up!!!! :popcorn; :popcorn;
Depends on how ambitious I am when I start craving them - I have done homemade buiscuits (more renal friendly if you make them from scratch!), but the flaky grand size ones in the cans are a lot faster! Pop, flatten, stuff, seal, and in the oven for about 12 minutes. I don't saute the onions - I like them with a bit of crunch. I never do the same seasonings or filling twice - it's always whatever is on the counter or in the fridge. I've used cream cheese as a base, as well as an assortment of other soft cheeses. One time, for lack of other options in the fridge, I used port wine cheese cracker spread. Oooooo - yummy! This time was about a 1/4 of a block of cream cheese, a tablespoon of shredded sharp cheddar, the ham and onion, some pepper, and a dash of chopped parsley. I've used diced turkey or even bacon bits for a meaty filling. There isn't a recipe for these things - you just smush stuff together and wing it - they always turn out!

twirl, I have a kitchenaid mixer with the ice cream attachment. I just put all this in there and walk away.
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, remove from the heat, and cool. Combine the syrup with the lemon and zest and pour into the bowl of an ice cream machine. Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. After the sorbet is made, transfer to an airtight container. Cover tightly and freeze until ready to serve.
-
I'm going to go buy an ice cream maker and eat at Casa Ole
bean chalupsas -- little beans, lots of lett and tom and I ask for no cheese

I love the ice cream maker. You can also have the syrup made ahead and leave it in the fridge so it's pre-cooled for those last minute sorbet decisions.
-
twirl, I have a bunch of sorbet recipes. Len loves the stuff.
We had Salisbury steak on toast, baked potato and brown sugar carrots.

My favorite Indian dishes. Pakora (onion and spinach fritters), Chicken shaii (chunks of chicken in a creamy almond sauce), barbequed eggplant curry, basmati rice with cumin, naan bread, and warm rosewater and cardamom flavoured rice pudding for dessert.
-
did you cook those dishes
and what is rose water- smashed up roses in water?
and how do you do those onion and spinach fritters
how did you do the eggplant barBque and what the heck does curry tastes like, I'm afraid to try it
do you ever eat hamburger helper and tuna helper casserole(only joking) grill cheese or anything not fancy ( kidding)
no wonder you have a big smile all the time,,,,, you eat like a princess and yet you are so slim......not fair..........
-
monrein, boy would Len love you. I'm not real crazt about Indian food but you should post some of your recipes. I could tone them down a bit I bet. Sounds good.
twirl, I made mint chocolate chip ice cream today. Taste pretty good for my first attempt.
-
chocolate pudding (wish there was more), jello, chex mix, and anything else destructive that i can find. ya'all can tell what kind of mood i'm in. (it's a good thing i don't have my car this evening, i'd go out for ice cream and eat it all)
-
W&W my husband already loves you.....now chocolate mint ice cream....... what next---chicken fried steak, rice & gravy?????????
I will be the lady left behind...do you like Johnny Dep..... a lady told me my husband looks like Johnny Dep
-
Twirl, please send your husband.... :rofl; I love Johnny Dep.
Len wants shrimp today, so I'm poking around the internet for shrimp recipes. I think I am going to make sweet potato fries and roasted asparagus. Of course, it's early and I might change my mind.
-
Twirl,I didn't cook those dishes, I got them from an indian restaurant we go to quite often. Yep, rosewater is basically rose flavored water and adds a delicate taste to dessert dishes (turkish delight is one example). The spinach onion fritters are made using a thin batter made with chickpea flour then deep fried and dipped as you eat in a sauce made with tamarinds (little tangy, little sweet). They are truly delicious. The eggplant bbq curry is a mushy mixture made with all different spices and green peas but barbequed eggplant is very easy to make at home (no curry involved here).
I like the chinese eggplants because they aren't at all bitter. ( If you use regular ones be sure to slice lengthwise into 1/2 inch slices, salt to pull out bitterness leave about half an hour then rinse and pat dry and continue). Slice chinese ones in half lengthwise. Rub with good extra virgin olive oil and garlic (i usually keep oil on hand at all times with pulverized fresh garlic soaking in it...it'll last about three days) then grill till nice and soft. We eat that as a side dish but its also nice with a little bit of tomato sauce to make a very thick pasta sauce. Add some fresh basil and good parmigiano reggiano.
I do make a fair bit of indian food and used to do my own spice mixtures but no more. I buy curry pastes made by Pataks from the UK and basically make big stews of stuff I like. It freezes well too. There are so many different kinds of curry depending on the spice blend. What we buy in the supermarket as curry powder is a very poor substitute for the good blends but I still like some things with it. The main thing to remember about cooking with dry spices or pastes is that you must cook them gently in oil first before adding any liquids because that brings out the complexities of the flavours otherwise they can taste of nothing much. This is not the case for herbs.
I eat anything. My friends joke about me saying that I never met a food I didn't like and that's basically true. Of course I prefer some things to others but I'll try anything that's edible and won't kill me and I can't think of anything (except kidneys ) that I just won't eat. I am picky however about eating healthy stuff so I avoid white bread, lots of processed food with preservatives I can't pronounce, and I rarely eat deep fried things , never more than a little bit and only once a month max.
I used to cook a lot and fancy things or ethnic but nowadays I keep it simple due to lack of energy. My Mom disliked cooking and never did it because we had a cook in Jamaica but my Dad was an amazing cook and he taught me a fair bit about trusting my instincts for combining flavours. He was the master of the wok and did a lot of exciting stir fries and the meanest jerk chicken in the universe.
My favorite thing about living in a big multicultural city like Toronto is the huge variety of restaurants serving every kind of food you can imagine. From Ethiopian to Laotian with lots of stops along the way.
Now how did this post get so long?? Yak yak yak.
PS Send Johnny Depp on to me after you're done with him W&W. Twirl might miss him a bit but hey she offered him up, we're just saying "yes please". :rofl;

my husband considers arroz and charro beans exotic
:rofl; :rofl;
a chicken can be a jerk? the things we learn on IHD....
but do you ever eat hamburger helper? ever heard of it?
you are an extremely interesting person and your wish to have grad kids I wish it for you too you would be an awesome gramma(rather young looking for a grammy)

:oops; my husband was going to grill burgers but he spent so much time on the pool and doing yard work, we are having Whoppers
:thumbup; :thumbup;

Del Taco macho burrito for lunch.

Of course I've heard of Hamburger Helper (I only live in Canada, not Outer Mongolia...just teasing as I hope you know by now). I bought some once a long time ago but I figured that by reading the list of ingredients you can pretty much make it yourself for way less. But it sure is convenient. My fast food is in the frozen aisle. Up here we have a supermarket called Loblaws that has a line called "Blue Line" and it's lower in fat, salt and the bad stuff (no trans fats). Some is not bad although I usually add some extra fresh veggies to it.
I also have a friend's mother who supplies me with lots of homemade minestrone and a greek friend who makes me spanakopita (with mostly spinach and just a bit of feta cheese to cut back on the salt. I give them flowers from my garden sometimes but by far I have the best part of that deal.
I know I won't ever have grandkids but I do have 6 godchildren. One is now 17 and this will be the first summer in 4 years he hasn't come to spend a month with us. He lives in France so even when he has kids they'll be far away. We do have quite a few kids in our life however.
BTW, I find you interesting also. I think most everybody is interesting actually if you actually take the time to get to know them.
Back to food.

We grilled out last night, cheeseburgers and homemade pasta salad.

We took my moth-in-law out for lunch yesterday to celebrate Mothers Day (the restaurant we chose is closed on Sunday).
I had a salad of thinly sliced beets with mixed baby greens, crisp slivers of fried ginger and baked goat's cheese on top. It had a pomegranate vinaigrette. Then I had home smoked (way way less salt) salmon on top of a potato latke. Both were appetizers so portions were reasonable. Dessert was vanilla angel food cake with soft meringue on top and a warm fresh strawberry sauce. I'm still licking my lips. MMNN

how long was I gone? the big D is what I call dialysis.... I thought you got to skip dialysis for a transplant
morphine confuses me, but please tell me what the heck is going on
:'( ???
-
Glad you're back Twirl. Really glad you're back!!!
Tonight is my second dialysis treatment. I do have 4 potential donors but we are still at the beginning of that and my neph wants me to do 6 months at least of dialysis to clear out some meds and stabilize things in preparation for the transplant. I'm only on for 2 hours to begin with and will increase from there. I've started at the hospital but will move to the self-care unit as soon as things are running smoothly.
I had too many symptoms to hold on any longer.

Charee,
"brats" refers to bratwurst which is a type of sausage (delicious)
It is also slang for bad children.

OMG you people crack me up!! I ate the bad children with mustard!!! (and the bratwurst was good too!!)

mushrooms that look like penis. :rofl; :rofl;

tamara may I say I love your pee-pee bag, it brings out the color of your eyes
these mushrooms are not cut into pieces, they are whole
they are the fancy mushrooms
I guess you could say they look like palm trees, however, penis was the first thing to come to me
-
Maybe straw mushrooms??? The ones that come in tins and they use a lot in Chinese cooking? As to the analogy with penises, in the interest of complete descriptive accuracy....would that be a circumcised or uncircumcised mushroom? Twirl, we gotta talk about your fantasy life if mushrooms are beckoning like this. :rofl;
My dinner last night was an exercise in exquisite torture. I was at a lovely and extravagant bat mitzvah last night for the daughter of a good friend at my gym. There was masses of food starting with the circulating trays of smoked salmon canapes, authentic Mexican guacamole, shrimp tempura, chicken shwarma mini pitas, spring rolls, samosas, beef satays. Moved on from there to a live show of acrobatic dancers during a sit down dinner which began with plates of assorted salad type dishes (humous, baba ganouj, tomatoes with buffalo mozzarella, waldorf salad, roasted red peppers, avocado grapefruit salad) and moved through to a selection of hot and cold dishes from food stations around the room. It was an international event (the family is from Mexico but there were people there from all over the world and some had come from as far away as Brazil and Japan) so the offerings included fresh sushi, mini burgers, grilled salmon, chicken piccata, stirfried selections of meats and veggies and of course at around 10:30 the dessert stations opened with 4 different tables of fruit, pastries, cakes and pies, three flavours of chocolate fountains and for good measure, an ice cream bar.
So speaking of fantasies...clearly I'm in a food phase at the moment. Could it be the restrictions on the renal diet are getting to me? You'll notice that I carefully made inventory of all the temptations BUT I actually didn't stray too far from the allowable for us.
My choices were...several corn tortilla chips (low salt variety) two with a speck of guacamole, a little eggplant salad, grilled zucchini, 1/4 pita, bit of salmon, bit of chicken, veggie fried rice, stir fried veggies and for dessert six tiny nibbles of different non-chocolate things and a little pineapple and watermelon all washed down with a Perrier and lime, heavy on the ice.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching everyone stuff their faces but since this is my two-days-between-dialysis stretch I didn't find it that hard to be good. At first I thought I'd avoid temptation by totally ignoring all the goodies but I instead got right into appreciating the thought of all those delicious tastes but only eating the safer choices. It felt strangely enough as if I had tasted them all because I let myself smell things and imagine them but then chewed on a crisp, unsalty corn chip.
This was my first encounter with overwhelming gastronomic temptation since starting dialysis this time around and, as you may have gathered by now, I'm an incurable foodie-type person from way back in the day so I was somewhat worried about how I'd manage. Now, before my next D session I have to get through a restaurant dinner tonight with friends and my monthly lunch with two girlfriends tomorrow. Plain pasta anyone?
-
Monrein,
You made me hungry! Excellent food descriptions. Now I'm going to be very disappointed when I open my fridge to find something for breakfast! :(
-
monrein, I want to come hang out with you. It is so hot here that I loaded up the crock pot with a roast and vegetables and put it out in the garage to cook all day. Len thought I had lost my mind but the house didn't get hot so it worked for me.
-
I had meatloaf and mashed potatoes for lunch at Claimjumpers.
-
We are having grilled chicken marinated in A1-Cajun marinade, garlic and butter green beans, and cole-slaw.
The pups want to say they are having Blue Buffalo Dog food - white fish flavor and couldn't they have just a bit of the chicken. Alas, they love chicken, but are allergic to it.
-
We had roast beef, with white rice, turnip greens, cornbread ( just a sliver for me) and yam patties, iced sweet tea
and rolls. I drank water. For desert we had cut up cantaloupe with cool whip. Yummmmm so good.....
Here in Georgia we make our hush puppies with onion in them.

Our nephew is taking us to dinner tonight at he and his sister's favorite korean/japanese restaurant here. I'll probably have veggie tempura and rice with a couple of pieces of raw yellowtail or white tuna. I might also have some chap chae (transparent noodles stir fried with shiitake mushrooms, red peppers and lots of black pepper). Oh and a nice seaweed salad (with rice wine vinegar but no salt or soy sauce).
One of the waitresses' husband is on dialysis so she helps me get what I need and the owner has known me a long time (I used to always bring her back a little present from France, like soap shaped like fish, or chocolate sardines in a tin that looked just like real sardines) so we usually get special treatment and a freebie or two. I kinda wish I didn't love food so much but then I'd be someone else altogether.
-
1/2 of a safeway just right frozen dinner (it's for two and i'm being good) balsamic chicken, rice and veggies (green beans, carrots and corn) not bad at all for something you stick in the microwave (i've gotten so lazy) but have lost 26 pounds since january (and my labs are perfect)

Gail, I thought I was a foodie, I am an amateur compared to you!!! I love reading your posts, of what you're had or seen!!! Please, be as explicit as possible (seriously!!!), I love descriptions of food!!! Come to think of it, that goes for everyone...you too, Mimi!!! Your dinners always sound so good!!!
-
I agree.... I never heard of most of the food Monrein writes about....it is fun picturing the foods in my mind....who knew you could stuff a grape leaf and eat it...sea weed salad? It is amazing.......... I wonder if she eats esgargo"
-
I have had escargot in garlic butter sauce. They were delicious. You just have to not think about what the little creatures truly are.
-
I sure do eat escargots and at our friends' home near Bordeaux, they gather them from the garden, put them overnight in the old inside drum of a washing machine (lots of air holes but the snails can't get out) then put cornmeal in with them. The escargots then eat that and that cleans out their systems entirely, leaving cornmeal inside instead of the plants or whatever else they've been eating before. My friend then sautes them up with white wine, garlic and herbs, pressure cooks them for superb tenderness, we run to the boulangerie for fresh bread and the feast is on. Those are only the pre-appetizers and we linger at the table on average for about three hours. My friend's Dad is an oyster cultivator and their family supplies some of France's best oysters to movie stars like Gerard Depardieu and notables like the President of France. I don't eat oysters myself because of the kidney situation but her Dad always used to bring me other seashore treats that weren't eaten raw. He loved that I'd try and almost always really like whatever he presented. He got a real kick out of my first experience with grilled quails and guinea fowl but was disappointed that he couldn't be the one to introduce me to pigeon. We used to raise and eat those in Jamaica and I used to go bird hunting for a relative of pigeon called bald pate. Good eating also unless full of buckshot.
My trips to France always revolved around amazing food and we always had a big, long two hour minimum lunch and a much smaller meal at night. I can drool on the sight of the Red Michelin Guide to restaurants in France.
Tomorrow I'm thinking of taking the kids for a Dim Sum lunch at a Chinese restaurant. Chicken feet anyone?? Of course, these days I am very careful and the salt is the biggest problem.
-
Well I think I will pass on the escargots at this time, maybe later. Tonight we had chicken Philly cheese on a hoagie,
from the restaurant round the corner and up the road from us. Everything this place has is delicious. We also had a side salad and onion rings. I had half the sandwich, which had grilled onions and mushrooms on it, the side salad,
three onion rings, and a glass of diet coke. YummmYummmmmm...........
I'm telling you MyssAnne and Bolta, I love to eat and cook, too.
Love, Mimi

we went to white fence farm. the kids played in the playground while we waited for our table, and we wondered around 1 or 4 gift shops. chayton went down the "pig chute" a big tunnel of a slide. we went to the petting zoo and fed the goats. we had fried chicken family style with potatoes, cole slaw, cottage cheese, pickled beets, kidney bean salad, and corn fritters, lots of corn fritters. i may not eat for a week.

you capture and kill your own snails to eat

Romano's is good! Enjoy a plate for me, too. I had spinach chicken and mac and cheese for dinner plus three binders and cherry diet soda

Hey Twirl, the pigeons are young (they're called squab) so they're not tough at all. They are raised for food but in much better conditions than most chickens eaten in North America. On our farm they were fed special grain meal and were quite pampered.
Food is such a cultural thing and when I used to travel a lot I found it was a great way to connect with others. On the other hand I can very easily live without fast food, sodas, potato or other chips and I really dislike processed cheese that tastes like soap to me. Also not a fan of deep-fried stuff or other unhealthy things, not because I don't like the taste but out of concern for my body and my genetic predisposition to gain weight.
Tonight we took the kids to an Indian restaurant where I ate not very much because it's my two day stretch between dialyses. I ordered for them a goat curry, a chicken dish with a sauce of ground almonds and spices, an eggplant curry with green peas, tandoori chicken (marinated overnight in yogurt and spices then baked in the clay tandoor oven) rice with cumin seeds and naan bread which is also baked in the tandoor. This Indian restaurant is a favorite of mine and the owners are a really nice family originally from the Punjab region of India where the Sikhs come from. My nephew liked the food but my niece much prefers Asian dishes and sushi. They're both game though to try anything and I always feel that my duty is to expose them to various things and let them decide what they like.
At lunch we had Asian tapas. Har Gow (steamed shrimp dumplings with hot sauce), beef rolls stuffed with garlic and green onions, california rolls, shrimp tempura for Syd and fresh vietnamese rolls.
I feel I'm being a bit of a masochist as I have to be so careful but I enjoy seeing them try and enjoy all this good stuff.

Yum, Chicken Tandoori and naan! Add a little Seekh Kebab with lemon flavored basmati rice, and I'm set for the night.
We have a lot of Indian restaurants here in NYC.
-
april and i grilled steaks and had a salad. i love my bbq, i've been known to grill in the snow.

I had Schnitzel with fried German potatoes.
Schnitzels are thin cuts of meat (traditionally veal, but I usually have pork). The meat is breaded and then fried. You can get it with many different sauces on top, but I like mine plain with lemon squeezed over it. German potatoes are cut up or sliced, fried in butter or oil with bacon and onion. Yummm! I miss my mother's german cooking.

hush puppies this is the best recipe
ingredients:
1 c cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 c buttermilk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg beaten
1/2 c chopped onion
1 c fresh or frozen corn kernels or drained kernels from can
chopped jalapeno or mild chilies, as desired
Preparation:
combine all the ingredients; drop by spoonfuls in hot fat cook until the hush puppies are a golden brown
It sounds so good, but so fattening too.
By hot fat, you mean deep fry in oil? Sorry, I know it's a dumb question but I never have made them.
-
Monrein I want to come spend a week with you
Okarol-------- it means deep fry in oil--- I need to send you a bottle of the green tom sauce but would it break----- ain't the same without the
green tomato sauce you think UPS is up to the challenge

I am eating egg rolls and strawberry ice cream and drinking Pepsi for breakfast

my cats and dogs never tell on me

:yahoo; I love Sushi! I just love California rolls and veggie rolls. I am not on dialysis yet but I am wondering if I'll have to give it up once I am on dialysis.
I stay away from the soy sauce to keep the sodium down. I just love it...is it bad for kidney patients? I am afraid to ask my doc for fear he will say it's not good for me.

Zach,
I'm curious to know why you take PhosLo and Renagel. When I was on dialysis, I started off with Renagel and then when it didn't help, they put me on PhosLo -- never mixed the two. PhosLo never worked either. Does this mix work better?
-
Had a three and a half hour lunch today at a very nice downtown restaurant. I started with a shrimp, cherry tomato and white asparagus salad with mixed sprouts of arugula, beets, corn, watercress and baby mesclun lettuce mix with a tarragon vinaigrette. Then the mahogany glazed salmon with shiitake mushrooms and a lime caramel glaze. My dessert was vanilla bean angel food cake with soft meringue and stewed fresh Ontario strawberries with creme anglaise. A small cup of decaf coffee to finish. Dinner tonight will be a simple salad of raw belgian endives and two homemade spanokopita rolls.(Homemade by my cleaning lady who does them salt free and very easy on the feta, just for me.)
The kids go gaga over this restaurant and take pictures of their meals to send their parents.
-
Man Monrein I want to eat out with you. It sounds like an experience to behold!

Hey ppl me and my aunt monrain had lunch today at a freakin awesome place in toronto today. here are some pics.

for main: sirloin steak sandwich
dessert: mocha baked alaska.
-
Hey Twirl, I used to have family in backwoods Arkansas and had me some squirrel dumplings there once. I got fat that summer too from all that country cookin. I told you, I'm game for most anything but I watch my calories now for sure. My Mum used to go a bit nuts when as a kid I wouldn't want dinner cuz I'd eaten with the farm workers in the sugarcane fields. They'd boil up (in an old kerosene tin), a stew type affair with huge cornmeal dumplings,cured salted pigs tails, several types of Jamaican yams, perhaps some bits of fish or oxtail, green bananas and whatever. I'd sit with the men and they'd get a kick out of me eating and loving their food. I also love chicken gizzards and hearts cooked up with hot peppers.
I like to think that I could eat with the queen and be as comfortable as if I were back in those fields eating off a tin plate, talking patois with the cane cutters. I'm not at all a snob and if I'm ever down your way I'd be happy to eat whatever you want me to. As to the knife and fork situation, just start on the outside and work your way in. I heard that the queen once drank the water from her finger bowl because some visiting dignitary from some small African nation did and she wanted to put him at ease. Now that's classy.
Here are some photos from today's lunch!!!

Sorry bout that....gremlins.

I too, have found Renagel less than effective and need to add some PhosLo to work without needing too many pills. Also I need to keep my calcium in check, so I can't use PhosLo exclusively -- except when I'm also taking Sensipar.

Had a friend bring us dinner.... chicken thighs with cream of chicken soup and rice (cooked in the crockpot), red new potatoes, banana pudding, and a salad made with cottage cheese, pineapple, coconut, pecans, sour cream, and cheddar cheese. She used low sodium cream of chicken soup and fat free cottage cheese, sour cream and cheddar cheese.
It looks soooooooooooooooooooo good! Licking my chops waiting for hubby to get home. Dang, now I feel bad...... those are all things I couldn't eat 3 weeks ago. Sorry :(
-
Enjoy every bite Donnia. You've put in your time and deserve this new lease on the taste buds.
For dinner tonight I made a vegetable frittata (Italian style omelet) with green pepper, green onions, grated carrots, a little tomato, a tbsp of extra-old cheddar and a tbsp. of diced black forest ham. Then I wrapped it in a tortilla which I folded in half over the frittata and crisped the whole thing in a non-stick pan. Washed it down with my usual no-sodium soda water with lime juice. Dessert was a canned peach and pear fruit salad and a couple of swedish ginger snaps.

We went to Babin's in the Kemah Boardwalk tonight. We had N'awlins style crab cakes as an appetizer. Then we had shrimp stuffed with a delectable crab stuffing, shrimp embrouchette, shrimp stuffed jalapenos, and dirty rice. Mmmmm... Babin's Seafood is my favorite place to eat!
-
we have a Babin's in the Woodlands and it is not as good
I just ate at Kemah a couple of months ago
it was a Mexican food place and we sat outside and watched ships ( ate on roof )
and the place gave us way too much food
and it was so good
you know, we are almost neighbors
-
Yes, we are almost neighbors! My husband and I go to Kemah a lot since he does a lot of AV rentals out there. There's a little hamburger joint right as you turn in to the boardwalk that my husband loves. Sometimes we take the dogs there to walk and eat outside. When it's not hotter than heck out there anyway. Otherwise their littlle tongues would be dragging the floor!
-
For a seminar I went to, they fed us a salad, steak, baked potato, somesort of odd mixed veggies, a roll, and then cheesecake. Along with either coffee or iced tea, so I now need to drink more decaf to make up the difference of creg coffee I had. I hope I'm not wired through the night! :o

For the day, I had two beer brats with a bun each and a 24 oz Decaf Diet Pepsi. Not sure if I will eat any ice cream though.
-
eat the ice cream, it is the 4th of July :rant; :grouphug;
-
If I do, I'm gonna throw up. The two beer brats is all I will eat for the day. Just have to get 24 oz of fluid in before the night ends and I'll be good. Just don't like melted ice cream though, flavor changes once left out to melt.
-
ok, do not eat it
throwing up ice cream is worse that eating it melted
my ice cream has to be frozen solid or forget it
take care
-
We had baby back ribs on the grill, potato salad, broccoli casserole that was yummmmmy, rolls and delicious
strawberry shortcake. I drank a half glassof ice cold Dr. Pepper. Oh man that was a good dinner. And then on to City Park for the fireworks. A good day.

I wish we had Blue Bell ice cream, that banana pudding ice cream sounds goood. I haven't had banana ice cream in a long long time, which was back in 1979 at a Baskin Robins and it had real bananas. I miss that flavor
-
I'd send you some, Chris but I think it would melt! The banana pudding is my absolute favorite Blue Bell flavor.
-
Gonna try online right now to see if I can order it.
-
Darn!!
Company will only ship four half pints at a cost of $119 of any flavor. $119 for ice cream is a little to much and then there is the room problem of storing it. That's if I have the right company, http://www.bluebell.com/Country_Store/how_to_order.aspx
They have a few flavors I would like to try. But to expensive to get shipped. One place wants $99 for 2 half gallons. Gee, for 20 more, I can have 4 from the company!

Grilled steaks, baked squash, green beans and new potatoes, dinner rolls and birthday cake

Don't know if I could do it today, but I use to eat the whole thing of a carton of ice cream. Only place that has banana flavor is Cold Stone Creamery, but that's not ice cream and it's soft serve, no real bananas! Soft Serve is just not real ice cream to me, but I do like Dairy Queen once in awhile.
Ensure and Nepro Ensure has a recipe for shakes and ice cream, but those never turn or taste like what is in the picture and I'm burned out on drinking that stuff :puke; :oops;
Wish I ate like people do hear. Some of the food listed sounds very good and I never ate like that on dialysis. I had plain noodles, plain pork chops, basically plain food and I ate a lot. 3 whoppers usually on dialysis days so I wouldn't go low during treatment and still ate lunch and dinner. Ohh those days I miss of having an appetite! :(

Tonight I'm making my own fried rice concoction, using my cumin scented basmati rice pilaf as the base, adding onions and garlic, green peas, sugar snaps, carrot, and bits of oven roasted turkey breast. My own unsalted home roasted cashews on top for my husband but none for me. Fresh Ontario strawberries for dessert.
I make the pilaf with a low sodium chicken stock but then I don't add any soy sauce when I turn it into fried rice, Indian style. I wish I had fresh coriander for the top but can't be bothered to go back (oops, I really mean, send Lee back) to the store.

I'm making deviled eggs because they are the girls' favorite, smashed potato salad, tomato/mozarella salad for my hubby, and probably green beans. My husband will be putting T-bone steaks on the grill. I can almost smell the steaks! :)

Are you guys really eating all this stuff? My phosphate is at 6.5 & I don't even come near to some of the bad things that are being eaten.
You must be taking some binders! How do you know how much to take? I just got a free sample of Phos-Lo today.
Thanks

I think many of us take binders. I'm not a doctor, but if your phosphorous is that high, I am very surprised you are not taking them. Renagel, Tums and Fosrenol are other binder options. Ask your doctor about them.

Where in that area? I used to work at the Rossville Public Library by the fire station when I was a teenager. We lived in the Rossville-Ft.Oglethorpe area for a few years, then Mom and Dad moved out to Harrison, TN out by the Lake Chickamaugua.

if your doctor doesn't have you on binders, i'd start looking for a different doctor. i take renegel, it's very pricey, but insurance pays for it. i started out taking 2, had it raised to 4 than as my labs settled out i'm back down to 2. you have to remember to take it with every meal and snack. apple pie 3 hours after dinner should be considered another meal. you need to take your binders. my last phos level was 3.9
and yes we really are eating these things, just not every day

I'll make sure I have an extra one ready for breakfast. :bandance;

I take 500g calcium carbonate tablets as binders with every meal, one with smaller meals and snacks and two with my big meal of the day. I regularly read over the list of high phosphorus foods and make sure not to have too many in any one meal.
Do you not take binders Trikkechicck?
-
I made red beans and rice and baked chicken tonight. Plus we had left over smashed potato salad and tomato/basil/mozarella salad.
My ktchen is as hot as all get out. We ate, and now I'm hanging out in my bedroom--the only cool room in the house right now.
Donnia, Twirl... There's a Chicago get together, a Las Vegas get together.... We're the 2nd biggest state in our country... Texas needs a get together! lol

Kitkatz is coming too
:2thumbsup; we need more stew and cornbread :-*

Ringgold, Ga, All right, been there, too! Used to be a nice little town. I remember taking my driving test in Ringgold, Ga in the square around the DMV.

Yes, just got started. My initial labs were well within legal territory, then suddenly went way up. I was given a free sample of Phos-Lo yesterday.
I started dialysis June 7th so everyone is tweaking my meds/dry weight, etc to get me in order, so it is not the doctor's fault. As of now I feel good, except for the itching, and to think I was blaming the mosquitos!
Thank you for mentioning the doses you take of your meds. I am forbidden Renegal because of Crohn's disease - it swells up in the gut.

How about a whats for lunch topic?? lol. Today I am going to be naughty and have Burger King, I know it is bad for me, but somedays I cannot help it and give in to my cravings! I love the whoppers there and the fish sandwich. I have not been so hungry lately due to the heat- today it will be 83, tomorrow 91! What do you all eat for lunch? If you have time or eat lunch at all?
-
I usually hit one of the Mom and Pop diners where I can have my food cooked the way I want it. I love Whoppers too but a Cheese Whopper has almost 1500 grams sodium and I'm only allowed 2000 for the whole day.
-
We usually do left overs from the night before here or if I'm working, sandwiches and the occasional school lunch. I do not recommend the school lunch usually. :puke;
-
Lunch today... we had a kidney symposium from 11-345. They catered with McCalisters Deli.... I had a turkey sandwich, potato chips, 1/2 a pickle spear and I saved my huge chocolate chip cookie to give to my husband..... are yall proud? :2thumbsup;
Usually for lunch I will make a sandwich. Yesterday I made cabbage soup... cabbage, chicken stock, carrots, onion, stewed tomatoes. I loev cabbage!!!

Chicken tacos was for lunch. God know what for dinner.

Twirly, cafeteria food? For the most part ours is :puke; , but once in a while they'll make something good for the teachers from scratch.
-
EEwwww.. I sencond that... school food :puke;
I will never forget one day one of the subs told the cafeteria workers that she wouldn't feed her dog that crap..... OMGosh, I laughed sooooo hard!!! It was true tho! It is rediculous the stuff they were trying to feed us... eewwww :puke; again
-
One of my fondest memories of school food (many years ago) is hominy. I never ate it nor did I notice anyone else eating it. But it was still there at least once a week.
-
They serve our kids raw beets at least once a week and usually black eyed peas once a week too... What kid is going to eat that?
-
Everybody around here eats Hoppin' John on New Year's Day

I went to boarding school in Jamaica so there was no escaping the "school" breakfasts, lunches or dinners, most of which were dreadful. One especially nasty breakfast selection was a thin, gruel-like cream of wheat or cornmeal porridge which occasionally featured crunchy bits of boll weevils for "texture". I was 10 when I went and 14 when I left and part of my survival strategy was to use a chunk of my allowance money to tip the kitchen staff who would slip me some choicer things to eat out the back door of the kitchen. I also got in trouble for giving money to some of the maintenance staff to go into town to buy me real goodies evry now and then. Whenever we went home we got to choose our favorite meal for the first night home. I often chose oxtail stew with rice and pigeon peas, fried plantain and callaloo (sort of like spinach).
-
I can't remember any school lunches when I was a kid. I must have blocked it.
Monrein's post helped me remember breakfast at camp (thanks Monrein!) - thin cream of wheat (sans insects), but served with stewed prunes. I really, really hated those prunes. I guess they didn't want us to be constipated. One day the staff served me a huge bowl of cream of wheat after I said I only wanted a little. The rule was that we had to eat everything on our tray, no waste, before leaving the dining hall. I was probably about 9 or 10 at the time. I sat there for over an hour after everyone else left. I refused to eat the stuff. They used to force me to drink milk, too, and I would always get sick because I am lactose intolerant.
-
your stories remind me of one my father used to tell. it has to do with the reason he makes his infamous pot of chili. daddy went to a military academy. they had students in elementary through college. he said the food wasn't bad but was the same each week. chicken on sunday, meat loaf on tuesday etc. the head guy liked chili which was served on saturdays. but he did realize that all children might not like it, so milk and rice was provided for those who didn't want chili. the kids used to turn the guys stomach. they drank the milk and ate the chili over the rice. i grew up eating my chili over rice and somewhere along the way started topping it with pickle relish. (YUMMY)
-
Yumm morein, you reminded me of my all time favorite meal... rice and pigeon peas... made puerto rican style with pork. My ex-mother in law was Puerto Rican. Oh my goodness... I loved her rice and pigeon peas.... I liked the fried plantains too.
Last night we ate fideo and guiso. It was delicious... my mother in law made it. Man the guiso was H O T ... but yummy!
-
alright, i give. what are pigeon peas?
-
We had a new recipe tonight, Salmon Pasta. We put sour cream and chopped green onions on the salmon, and
cooked in the oven. Then we put pasta on with a little evoo, and butter. We put the salmon on the pasta and fixed some grilled vegies and Texas Toast. Then a slice of cantolope for dessert. Yum, yum goooood.
Mimi
-
alright, i give. what are pigeon peas?
hehe pigeon peas are made by Goya.... they are green but kinda turn tanish brown when cooked. I can't describe the taste. My ex - MIL would cook pork, cut it up in small pieces then cook white rice in the pork drippings, add sofrito, pigeon peas and capers. OMGoodness! Delish!!!!
Today we are going to a friends house for dinner. Everyone except me is eating T-Bone steaks. I will eat grilled chicken (cause I can't have my steaks medium rare yet and I don't like them well done). We are also having scalloped potatoes, brussel sprouts, salad and bananas foster for dessert. I cant wait!
-
Last night my hubby snuck off to Olive Garden while I was taking my online midterm and brought me a slice of their tiramisu for dessert. Yummy!
-
we ate at Olive Garden yesterday
they let you get the lunch specials

C'mon only 2 breadsticks?
yes - two breadsticks-- they are pretty long
but one hundred on the extra black olives and long green peppers
-
I grilled steak, onions and peppers and making my own fajitas.
-
Well, I called them pigeon peas as that was the closest to what we had in Jamaica. Most of the time our cook made rice and peas with red kidney beans but as a special treat we had "guungoo" peas which were a local thing similar to pigeon peas (a type of bean). I love all beans and am sad they're so high in phosphorus.
Last night I made grilled fresh Ontario lamb loin chops with fresh lemon thyme, double boiled baby new potatoes sprinkled with wild mint that grows by the lake at the cottage, mixture of cauliflower, carrots and sugar snaps, mesclun mix salad with radishes and homemade vinaigrette. Dessert was angel food cake and fresh cherries.
Tonight was dinner at a Middle Eastern restaurant. Baba Ghanouj eggplant spread with white pita, half a grilled chicken skewer, saffron rice, salad with chopped parsley and rosewater turkish delight for dessert. Later as a snack I'm having fresh local strawberries.
-

I ate at The Steelhead tonight. A fine dining restaurant in the Marriott. Food was SUPERB, and words can't describe the taste for each bite.
I started with a cup of Steelhead chowder.
Then I had the Pasta of the day, which was penne pasta, olive oil, baby spinach, olives, tomatoes, black pepper, other spices, and scallops.
My dessert was cheesecake with roasted strawberry's and graham cracker crumbs on top and a sugar crystal.
I wish we had one of these in Iowa!

Burgoo with cornbread waffles

what the heck is burgoo?
-
what the heck is burgoo?
it might have vodka in it
-
chicken cream cheese enchiladas left over from dinner last nite at on the boarder. who can eat all that food, enough for last nite, lunch and dinner today.
-
Come on flip -- how about a recipe?
-
For those who don't know, Kentucky Burgoo is like a stew and there are probably as many recipes for it as there are for chili. Good burgoo is an all day process because all the meat is smoked (beef, pork, mutton, chicken). The veggies vary but usually include potatoes and/or turnips, tomatoes, corn, lima beans, chopped onion, pepper and celery. The consistency is usually not as thick as stew. I very seldom make it because most of the barbeque places around here have it.
-
sounds great flip, break out some buds with that and I'll fly right down.
-
Maybe when the weather cools off, I'll make a batch. I hate messing with the smoker all day in this hot weather.

Sounds good. I think I'll be going through Kentucky in September, so I am going to have to look for this. It sounds a little bit like something we eat around here that's called Brunswick Stew. It would never have peppers or turnips, but does have tomatoes, corn and lima beans. It's traditionally made with squirrel and rabbit, but we make it with chicken.
-
Many old timers here still use squirrel and rabbit in their burgoo.
-
I had yougart and 2 slices of loraine swiss cheese.
-
I had General Tsous chicken (or however you spell it) with fried rice, and hot and sour soup. Mmm... but I ate too much.
-
Mibarra do not worry with Chinese food you will be hungry in an hour anyways
one can never eat too much hot and sour soup
it is an old Chinese proverb
-
Christopher!!! I need to see more balance in your diet young man!!! :shy; oops, sorry Chris, I sounded like your mother or something for a minute. Don't know what came over me. Take care kiddo.
-
Well I'm suppose to see a nutition specialist at my transplant hospital July 28 to go over all my medical issues and eating habbits. That'll be fun! I'll probably get another list of food that I'll never eat like fish. Of course this isn't covered by insurance I'm told and will cost $120 dollars. $120 is starting to make me wonder on what else I could use that money for, 10 galllons of gas, partial payment for a prescription, so forth. I had a better diet plan and appetite when I was on dialysis, what went wrong is what I want to know ???
-
When you see that nutritionist Chris, make sure you tell him/her which foods you really dislike so they figure out alternatives with you. No point having fish on any list if you hate it. Only have things on the list that you'll actually eat otherwise you're just going to get frustrated again.
-
My dietitian tried that with me - wanted me to start eating things I don't like, never have, never will. (Like fish, and cooked spinach.) I just said no. I'm an adult now - I refuse to eat something I can't stand, just because it's good for me. She just kind of blinked in surprise when I said that. Apparently, no one has ever simply refused before. . . ;D
-
Never ate things I didn't like as a kid either. It stayed on the plate and ended up in the garbage, or if we had a dog, I would try to have him/her eat it and that usually never happened.
-
dietitianr listened to the diatician, ever! i've always done my own research. my lab values sit right in the middle of the range, the doctor is super pleased and i eat what i want. must be doing something right. i'm usually a good girl though, i'm always nice to the dietitian. the last time one gave me a list of what not to eat at thanksgiving i just smiled and took it. then tore it up when her back was turned. the doctor just laughed and told me i could eat anything i wanted at thanksgiving.

Going by my lab values is how I choose what to eat. What I would like to eat will make them go above normal and now my body is paying the price betwen diabetes, dialysis, transplant meds, and diet. All the good stuff is something I shouldn't have or doesn't contain enough of the right vitamins, minerals or whatever else they are searching all over my body for. Starting to wonder if "Ignorance is bliss" is true. Just have to get over the nausea and vomiting part if I force myself to eat.

Tonight I made stuffed pork chops in mushroom gravy over white rice, brussel sprouts and corn on the cob Yummmmy!
-
My husband would be drooling. He loves pork chops and brussel sprouts are one of a few vegetables he actually likes.
-
Here's a great, simple way to make Brussels sprouts if you have a foreman grill. Cut them in half and toss with olive oil. throw them on the grill until lightly browned. Eat them! A friend of mine served these as hors d'oeuvres at a party. They were a hit and it was enough to make me buy a GF grill! I served them when I hosted my book club ladies and they were a hit then too. If the brussels sprouts aren'y super bitter they will caramelize and get sweeter on the grill. I also really like summer squash grilled this way. We mostly grill outside during summer, but the GF grill is really easy when the weather isn't so nice.
-
First we had homemade salsa and guacamole and chips. We also made barbecue chicken, baked beans, fresh corn on the cob, watermelon and had brownies with ice cream and cool whip for dessert. (Family visiting, it was nice to eat outdoors.)

The deep fried green beans are a menu item at T.G.I. Fridays and they also market them in grocery stores. They are breaded and frozen and ready to fry.
For the squash:
5-6 summer squash and i medium onion (grated in food processor)
1 egg
1 pkg. cornbread mix
salt & pepper to taste
Form into patties and fry in oil. You can add flour if mixture is too moist.
-
those squash patties sound incredible-i must make some!!!
-
Flip needs to open a restaurant, but would we leave? :rofl;

:shy; Yep... I almost felt guilty typing that.. then I thought... nahhh... I did my time :2thumbsup;
-
You sure did! Good for you. Enjoy it!!! :2thumbsup;
-
I made squash patties thanks Flip Bob
the fried green beans---- well, I had a hard time deep frying canned green beans------ batter does not want to stick----- ::)
fresh fruit
tea
-
we had chinese take-out -- and I just realized that it was the first time since the nephrectomies/dialysis/transplant
chicken and broccoli
homemade bean curd with veggies
wonton soup
steamed dumplings
My fortune said "the road to success is lonely"
My husband's said "you are about to have a wonderful journey"
This is typical...
-
fish! i'm eating alone tonite, april doesn't even like me cooking it when she's home, so i eat it when she's not around. i'd be very happy to exist on fish and chicken.
-
Here you go Twirl, this is some seared tuna (finest quality sushi grade Ahi) with veggies and a saffron sauce. I had it back when the kids were visiting and we all liked it. I think there were little bits of lobster in the sauce too.
-
well the plate looked really nice till you said it was tuna. Sorry, but seafood just makes me want to :puke; even by the smell of it.
I had easy to fix beer brats. Getting sick of these though. 2 a day and some munster cheese for calcium. I need a appetite and a better diet! No idea why I couldn't eat this way when on dialysis.
-
??? how did they get that sliced tuna out of a can ???
-
How come you didn't ask where the tuna helper was???? :rofl; :rofl;
-
isn't the tuna helper that stuff under it ???
-
This is really funny.....I actually fixed tuna helper tonight. I guess Twirl has ESP.
-
This is really funny.....I actually fixed tuna helper tonight. I guess Twirl has ESP.
:o
I made squash patties------------yum+
-
I sometimes fix tuna patties, basically the same recipe as salmon patties. Not bad when you're poor and hungry.
-
Hey, we love salmon patties. I make them with canned salmon. I add celery and onion that I saute after chopping finely and an egg to make it stick together. If I add a little mayo I can bake them in the oven instead of doing them on the stove. This is the basis for one of my relatively healthy and relatively easy "pantry" meals.
But, I sure do love seared tuna, especially with wasabi mayo.
This is putting me in the mood for sushi. Stephen can't eat anything raw anymore, but he can still have tempura and veggie rolls, I guess.
-
Note to self: If board becomes overly populated with fish food, stay away! :rofl; :rofl; :puke; :oops;
-
How 'bout catfish fritters and fried potatoes?
-
I had a half of a cheeseburger and a rootbeer.
-
chris, you don't have to eat any fish, that just leaves more in the world for me.
-
tuna patties sound good
I have a sudden craving for fish
-
Willieandwinnie... I would love your recipe for crab cakes and peppermint patties!!! :bow;

-
Tonight I made an eggbeaters omelet with about a teaspoon of ham, some green onions and cream cheese in the middle. A little bit of hot sauce for flavour and then I cut it in half and stuffed each half in a half a toasted pita.
It was really delicious, either that or I'm so hungry anything would be amazing.

-
I had Korean food tonight. BimBim Bop which is a variety of vegetables and beef with a fried egg on top, white rice, and a variety of kimchis -- cucumber, radish, seaweed, tofu... Yummy!
-
Oh, I love Korean food. My cousin is marrying a girl whose family is originally from Korea and the wedding is outdoors with Korean barbeque. Can't wait.
Tonight we're in Ottawa and had dinner with our friends. The husband is an amazing cook so here's the lineup for your drooling pleasure.
Thai egg noodles with chicken, curry powder and coconut milk, basmati rice with moroccan chicken, green salad, watermelon salad with feta cheese and red onions. Lemon meringue pie for dessert.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Grape Mike and Ike's..... it's been years.... *drool*
They are hard to find, but found them in an old fashioned candy store down the street from my house. It's in the movie size type box, more like was in a movies size box.

I had Jelly beans today.
I still haven't made anything yet.

Flip your leftovers are better than my firstovers :sir ken; :sir ken;

Tonight I'm having Chinese sticky rice with chicken and mushrooms, steamed in a big leaf and two steamed shrimp dumplings (har gow). The place I get it from assures me that there's no salt or soya sauce in there. Don't believe them 100% but it doesn't taste very salty, doesn't seem to make me thirsty and I dialyze again tomorrow anyway. Canned peaches for dessert.
-
My daughter in law called and said she is cooking and bringing...this after a day at work too...yeah her...she makes a """killer"""" chicken, rice casserole that is ever so much more good than anything I have ever tasted....except vodka...pizza, beer...etc??? but it is very good.
-
Wow sticky rice, I used to have it when some of the asians would bring it in where I used to work, was great dipped in sweet sauce and very chewy. Can tou tell me how to make it.
-
I don't make it but my Thai cookbook says that you can buy Thai sticky rice in an Asian store, then you soak it in plenty of warm water for up to three hours (one hour minimum). Drain it, wash again then steam it in a wicker steamer that fits on a saucepan. Steam on med high for 25 minutes. You could also use a strainer lined with cheesecloth but most importantly, the rice must be covered as it steams.
There are dessert recipes using fruit and coconut milk but that's not what I go for. I like the Chinese dim sum version that puts bits of meat and reconstituted dried shiitake mushrooms inside the rice and then its all steamed together in a big lotus leaf. I should try to make it at home and control my ingredients but it's so easy just to get it already made from a little place right where I dialyze. Sometimes I have it for lunch on the machine.
Hope this helps.
-
I made a trip to the British store today so dinner tonight is bangers, yorkshire pudding, gravy, and carrots. Yummy!
-
Dinner was tacos. I'm still hungry, though. Maybe leftovers. . .
-
Nothing yesterday, but ate a smoked ham sandwich with mozzarella cheese and decaf coffee

Well what started out with just tasting the Chocolate Cool Whip ended up eating the whole container. It reminded me of chocolate mousse Never made it to my coffee though. I had a smokd ham sandwich with mozzarella cheese again.
-
Chris one bite --eat whole container :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
I'm thinking of getting more, not sure I want the Strawberry though. At least it's non dairy which is a good and bad thing for me.
-
the strawberry is okay but not as much flavor as the chocolate
I put fresh strawberries with the strawberry
hope you feel good
-
Tonight was "artichoke open face" night. I have been eating AOF's for years - ever since my stepmom discovered the recipe - they are so tasty and EASY. Unfortunately they aren't for everyone here, but since my phosphorus is pretty stable and my potassium is low I can get away with it.
To make:
Set broiler to high. Brush an english muffin sliced in half with olive oil. Broil until golden
Toast small handful of pinenuts in olive oil until golden brown. You can do this either in the oven or on a stovetop.
Mix some diced tomato, diced red pepper, shredded mozzarella cheese and some marinated artichoke hearts (they come in little glass jars in the canned veggie aisle) with the toasted pine nuts. Today I also added some herbed goat cheese and it was terrific. Goat cheese makes everything better. ;)
Spoon mixture on top of english muffins. Put bake in oven and broil until cheese is nice and melted.
Enjoy and don't forget your binders!
-
Leftovers again....going to Chicago in the morning

-
I had artichoke dip and pita chips for dinner tonight.
Lunch was eggs, hashbrowns and bacon with sourdough toast. Dessert a few hours later a Bakers Chocolate milkshake.
Are we wondering why my phosphorous is high yet?
-
Saturday I had a Chicago Style Hot Dog, small fry and a beer around 3 pm, then the group went for dinner where I had decaf coffee and tried to eat fried ravioli, but got sick trying to eat that. Should have went with my gut and just ordered the spumoni ice cream or peppermint ice cream, but was also freezing my :sir ken; off while everyone else was warm.
Chicago IHD Group Lunch in 2nd pic

scheduled for tonite marinated grilled pork chops and grilled vegies. and more iced tea than i should be drinking but thanks to 100 degree weather i can get away with it. (i never knew hot and sweaty could feel so good)
-
Last night we had my grandaughters birthday dinner. Since she and her husband are mostly vegans, eating only
turkey and chicken. We had turkey burgers on the girll, with tomatoes, lettuce, and onions and french fries
prepared in the oven and coconut cake. To drink Iced tea and coffee with the cake.
Mimi
-
cooking today even if my Aggie is in College Station starting his 2 a days ---- on Sunday - not allowing enough time for church----
Dirty Rice ---- I used chicken livers which my husband thinks I used dark chicken meat like the thigh (he will not eat liver)
Cole Slaw------ no tricks needed here, my husband would not touch it with a ten foot pole---- he had lettuce salad
broc cornbread------ no tricks, he likes broc
Mississippi Mud cake---- not for me----- he saw me typing the recipe for Kitkatz and asked if I would make him one - I don't do chocolate
-
Boneless butterflied leg of lamb, marinated in olive oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic and fresh thyme, then grilled on the BBQ. Fresh steamed beans, boiled mini new potatoes, corn on the cob, huge mixed salad(Boston lettuce, red leaf lettuce, green onions, red pepper, radishes, cucumber, cherry tomatoes) with a sherry vinegar (Xeres) vinaigrette. Fresh cherries stewed in a simple syrup over angel food cake for dessert.
-
I think I will have my left over chicken fried rice from Friday's Lunch. Wish I had the egg rolls I had from there though.
-
We had Juan Pollo chicken today with all the fixings. The fixings would be potato salad, beans and rice.
-
One of my husband's childhood favorites - salad with taco meat, cheese, broken corn chips, and catalina dressing. He also put green olives on his, but I can't stand olives of any kind :puke;
-
Today I splurged on a sausage lasangna,manicotti,stuffed shell combo diner, with a crispy salad with fresh made bleu cheese dressing,garlic bread, breaded poppers, and cheese bacon fries. It was my sisters birthday lunch!!
-
microwave popcorn chicken. It's been a long weekend and I don't feel like cooking.
-
Tonight we had pork chops on the grill, steamed cabbage, some more of that delicious Silver Queen
stewed corn, sliced home grown tomatoes, rolls and iced tea.
Mimi
-
I had an english muffin instead last night. Chicken fried rice was gone, eaten by someone else. >:(
-
I hate it when my Chinese food disappears :boxing;
I know what I will have tonight
shrimp
oysters
new potatoes
16 ounces of wine ---- cheap stuff in small 4 package bottles
at an outside cafe across the street from the Gulf of Mexico
unless we are blown away
-
Since nothing was thawed and my husband worked late, we're having Chinese...and there'll be a few leftovers, but they'll disappear pretty quick! :)
Crab Ragoon; Mu Shu Pork; Pork Fried Rice. And lots of water!
-
stir fry with Kentucky shrimp and veggies
-
After physical therapy tonight, I had a Wendy's Jr Bacon Cheeseburger and a small fry.
-
Marie Calenders chicken pot pie and a sprite. Living the high life...Boxman
-
We had beef roast, mashed potato, turnip, carrot, green peas, biscuits, and gravy. Delicious. No idea what supper is going to be tonight????
-
Boxman my husband loves those pot pies :2thumbsup;
what in the world is Kentucky shrimp----- or where would a hillbilly shrimp
-
No idea yet, to be determined later at some point in time.
-
Actually brine shrimp is a fresh waster variety that is being widely promoted here to farmers as an alternative crop. I know several people who are raising them and the look and taste is very similar to salt water shrimp. Kentucky farmers took a big hit when the bottom fell out of the tobacco market so nowdays it corn,soybeans, catfish and shrimp.
-
A pack of Hershey's Kissables
-
Guess I could eat the bag of Hershey chocolate chips downstairs. It's a dairy product that came from a plant, so it should belong to one or two of the health groups.
-
Tonight we are going to make TACOS! I love them when they are home-made. :beer1;
-
I better eat something today since I didn't yesterday. So I guess I will have a Cordon Bleu frozen chicken something, maybe a key lime yogart to

and by the way, squash patties are yummy
-
Tonight we are making Grilled Cheese and Soup, since my dad plays guitar on Thursdays, but I love soup and sandwiches!
-
Meat was not thawed for dinner AGAIN last night, so my husband ordered pizza. He's supposed to be home making sure the meat gets thawed, so maybe we'll have either steak or fajitas tonight. Whatever we don't have tonight we'll have tomorrow night.
-
if i can find the try for the microwave it's back to frozen dinners tonite. if not, well it just might be another bowl of ice cream.
-
could you place your frozen dinner in the oven
the old fashion way
-
I had a challenge last night - no meat in the house, and a hungry family to feed. We are really pinching pennies, so ordering pizza or picking something up was out of the question. I had some corn on the cob that a friend picked up for me, needed to cook that, so I made some corn fritters for the first time with some scrambled eggs topped with cheddar cheese. I even managed to find a few pieces of sausage in the freezer, so my hubby felt it was more like a meal.
Anyhow, they loved the corn fritters. I'll definitely be making those again!!
-
could you place your frozen dinner in the oven

of course., the real question is do i want to. and it's only about 75 here today so having the stove on won't matter much. (this is the first day for 24 days the temp hasn't been 90 or above, mostly above.)
-
75
clean out a bedroom

you'd be most welcome, even though the house is only 1035 sq feet. i have a twin bed in the computer room. and i did find the plate for the microwave, so i don't have to turn the oven on. but can i come to your house, dinner sounds much better there and i'm tired of eating alone, can't wait for the dogs to learn to talk.
-
I want the corn fritter recipe, please?
-
Twirl,
Fried Pickles? Wouldn't the pickle juice ruin the batter from staying on?. Just never heard of a fried pickle.
In the meantime, I had a Whopper Jr and a Medium Fry. Felt more like a small fry for what I got.
-
Fried dill pickles slices are on the menu at several restaurants around here. They are dipped in batter and deep fried. They are served with a dill based dipping sauce.
-
Flip is right
when I make them at home I use sliced hamburger dill pickles
drain on paper towels
batter
and deep fry
drain again on paper towel
we eat with ranch or buttermilk dressing
I think Texans will fry anything

The sweet hamburger pickles would go good with that ranch sauce. They are not the gerkins, they are like regular hamburger sliced pickles.

wat is dis a deep fried cucumbers I'm glad dat i don't eat cucumbers
-
keith...try pickles you will like them....cucumbers that are processed in vinegar etc.....not just raw cucumbers but those are very good too.
-
I want the corn fritter recipe, please?
Sure....
Cut the corn kernels from about 3 cobs of corn. Transfer half of them to a blender. Add 1 large egg and 1/4 cup milk. Puree until smooth.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add chopped mushrooms (I used shitake without the stems, about 2 ounces) and 1/4 cup chopped sweet onion. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining corn and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Scrape mixture onto a plate and place in the freezer just until no longer hot (just a couple of minutes).
Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk 3/4 cup flour, 1tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp ground pepper. Stire in the puree, then fold in the cooled-off corn kernels, mushrooms, and onion.
Back in the skillet, add oil or spray with non-stick coating. When the skillet is hot, add a few mounds of the batter and spread them to 1/2 inch thickness. Fry over moderately high heat, turning once until the fritters are golden and crusty, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat until all batter is cooked. Serve warm.
My family loved these. They aren't big fans of mushrooms, but I kept them in, and everyone loved it. They added a good flavor.
-
I do not think sweet pickles would be good.
Keith, try my recipe and do not use the cucumber in the cucumber state------- dill hamburger pickles
one place here fries the pickles in the spear shape
I can't to that
but they are good
-

it is a cucumber that has been transplanted into a pickle
-
Ohhh
-
fried banana peppers are better
-
fried pickles, there is a restaurant here in denver that serves them. when a friend first told me about them i thought YUCK! but they are actually pretty good.
-
Maybe they will have that in Vegas to try. They're suppose to have a foot long hot dog I think that was either on the Food Network or History Channel on the history of hot dogs or places to try.
-
I saw that show, Chris..
we are going to college station - my husband is going to football with Bubba and I am staying in his apartment to cook and freeze food
things he likes- taco meat, chili and beef stew
do I need to come and cook and freeze for you?
oh yes, and I make him these choc, peanut butter, ritz cracker things
I notice you eat choco
and we are bringing some of the turkey my husband smoked
and you eat a little healthier and I won't worry about you so much
twirl------ always worry about the people you care for---------- my motto
-
Twirl is so sweet!
I have made Mexican rice and Guisado de Res - a mexican stew with beef, carrots, potato, bulb onions, and squash. I added one little chipotle chile with some of the adobo sauce they come in. I hope it is good!
-
OMG
OMG :yahoo; Mibarra ----- I love that stew------ one of the yummiest things ever ;D
smoked turkey - husband smoked one
lettuce
miracle whip
wheat bread
tea
:yahoo;
-
I'll let you know later what I have, not sure what is offered. I am going to a comedy club with Aharris2 tonight. One thing for sure is a beer will be had :rofl; :rofl;
Not in the mood for a beer really tonight, need some coffee. Suppose to stay home and rest ER says today, but didn't feel like I needed to be there in the first place for fluids.
-
grilled a steak and fixed some asparagus tips with red bell pepper slices.
-
I would fry toast if I had a deep fryer.
-
As little deep-fried food as humanly possible is one of my "rules" for health. Not that I don't like the taste, I do, but I don't like the side-effects. Bad for the cholesterol, bad for the waistline, bad for the heartburn so sorry tastebuds....get a grip.
-
At the Comedy club with Aharris2, I had 2 Amstel light Beers a couple slices of a mini pizza and then we stopped at a restaurant called O'Brien's. I had a Sausage sandwich with fries, some decaf coffee and a slice of Tiramisu(sp?)
-
Last Night we all had dinner from Red Lobster! We took it home. I had the Crab Linguini , mom had the Bourbon Georgia Peach Scallops and Shrimp, my dad had the Fire Grilled Lobster and Shrimp! It was reallly good. Tonight we are hopefully going out to dinner at a local place we usually go to Saturday Nights. :beer1;
-
ugh, I have NO idea what to make tonight, so I thought I'd check here for ideas...I guess I'm just not in the mood to eat, because nothing looks good. Thanks for the ideas, though!
I had to chime in on the fried pickles conversation. I live in Georgia, and of course, everything here is fried. My native Georgian husband finally convinced me to try some fried pickles not too long ago - I think they were dills. I couldn't eat a whole lot of them, but just a few to snack on while waiting for a meal aren't bad.
-
Not eating tonight still feel full from yesterday. So liquid lunch, well decaf coffee or decaf diet pepsi today.
-
chicken drummies, salad, and corn on the cob.
-
Mini burger in mini white bun, grilled eggplant, grilled mushrooms and red peppers, red cabbage slaw with lemon vinaigrette, edamame salad (fresh soy beans with radish and onions) tabbouleh salad. Watermelon and blueberries for dessert.
-
T-bone on the grill, home grown yukon gold potatoes, strawberry/mandarin salad with poppyseed dressing, and whopper topped brownies and ice cream for dessert. Yummmmmmmmmmm!
-
My dad made chicken tortilla soup with avocado and queso fresco (crumbly mexican cheese) to top it off. We also had rice with the left over guisado de res, calabacitas rellenos (stuffed squash), refried beans, and to balance it all out we had to have American apple pie --store bought since I do not do deserts-- my dad's favorite.
-
I am cooking a turkey today with all the trimmings. veggies, cranberry sauce , gravy, etc. Raspberry pudding and sauce for desert. Raspberries are ripe here now so going to pick a few fresh ones thois afternoon. Yum!!
-
Last night I finally settled on teriyaki stir-fry. Chicken breast, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, and home-made low carb teriyaki sauce/marinade. I know, kind of an odd mix of veggies, but it was what we had in the house. In an attempt to make sure the chicken was thorougly cooked, I managed to get it a little dry, but the veggies were really good!
Tonight is a new recipe I found on foodnetwork.com. Bacon cheddar meatloaf. Instead of just putting the bacon and cheese on top, they're mixed into the meat. We'll see how it turns out. I'll probably also do rosemary roasted cauliflower (thanks, Twirl, that's our new favorite side dish!) and sauteed mushrooms on the side.
-
Spareribs, pork fried rice, salad, and corn on the cob.
-
White pita, baba ghanouj (roasted eggplant spread) and radishes for crunch. Blueberries with cool whip for dessert.
-
Tonight is going to be marinated flank steak on the grill and some sides of undertermined natured. I'm thinking potatoes with either corn on the cob or carrots. Probably corn though since I want to take advantage of it while it's in season.
-
Smoked ham sandwich with munster cheese on rye and a orange cream yogart

good Chris
now where are your vegetables
don't make me come to your house and cook N" freeze for you :waving;
I made my son these chocolate, peanut butter, ritz cracker things and he ate almost all of them
(football player)
I would make some and mail to you but they would melt :-\
-
Lunch was steak gorgonzola at Olive Garden with fettucinni plus chocolate cake for dessert. I also had a glass of white wine, soup and a diet coke.

I didn't eat yesterday, had way to much for me on Friday night. No veggies today or on most days. Use to eat them like crazy while on dialysis and when I worked in the produce section of the grocery store. My taste is out of wack along with my eating habbits.
Think it was Patton who told me that one girl in his school sent ice cream overnight and didn't expect it to melt ??? ::) :o Is this what kids these days are growing up to be, Stupid?

filet mignon, potato salad, and cole slaw.

A Recipe I saw on TV. Not to be eaten if you live in close Quarters.
-
cabbage chili---------recipe please
:rofl;
I want to make it when I am mad at my husband :bandance; :bandance; :bandance;
we should start a IHD cookbook
Flip could edit
-
Ummm if your both eating it, wouldn't that be a bad idea. Hate to hear about you in the news......Severe gas explosion causes HAZMAT to investigate cause :rofl;
-
I looked at the recipe.....chili just ain't chili without meat and peppers. I seldom eat cabbage unless it's in slaw and kidney beans are a no-no for me, as is tomato sauce.
-
what? no beans and meat?
if it did not used to mooooooooooooo,
it aint' chili
or if it didn't make the sound deers make
it ain't chili
-
2 soft shell tacos from Taco Bell on the way home tonight

An apple and a diet vanilla pepsi.

A slice of pizza, a salad, and corn on the cob. And some ice tea and a twinkie.
-
Seafood soup which my husband made. He rarely cookes.
seafood soup----- is that like the seafood soup I can order at Mexican restaurants------ not fair---- you get the best food----
Shark Bait-------- did you forget the picture of your doggies in their hats????? I am waiting...........
-
No, it's not Mexican soup. It's a recipe my husband got at HEB. He makes it with tilapia and shrimp.
I'm working on the corndoggie pics... I can't figure out how to make them small enough. Hubby will have to do that.
-
Tonight, vietnamese cold spring rolls (shrimp, vermicelli, lettuce, coriander in rice paper wraps) and some stir fried veggies.
-
turkey bacon BLTS with home grown tomatoes
black berry cobbler
tea
water
and that's all folks

Smoked Ham sandwich with munster cheese on rye, decaf coffee and a Sweet N Salty Nut Nature Valley Cashew Granola Bar. Had a hot fudge sunday earlier today from Dairy Queen
-
Save me some of the cobbler!
-
Cleaning out the fridge, haven't gone grocery shopping for a while. So, I had to fix dinner from whatever I had. I came up with pasta salad (several different types of pasta - the ends of a few boxes), with chunks of salami, onion, cheddar cheese, and Italian dressing. Side of very sweet cantelope, and butter biscuits baked with Asiago cheese topper. Now, I would love a bite of that cobbler, twirl.
-
We cleaned out the fridge today too. Leftover seafood soup, potato salad, refried beans, rice and T-bone steak.
Now hubby went to go buy desert. Mmmm.. which I know I do not need!
-
Tomorrow is my parents last night in town before they go on the trip to Canada to deal with my late grandmas condo, etc. I wanna do something nice for them but no idea what to make!
-
I threw caution (and my diet) to the wind tonight and grilled me a Rebel Burger. It was awesome and I'm sure I'll pay for it later.
-
I had a string cheese stick and a Nature Valley Sweet N Salty with Nuts Cashew Granola Bar, still working on diet pepsi decaf
-
Rebel Burger---- what the heck is that--------- must be good if it will do some damage
Chris do not make me send you some vegetables and fruit......... could be rotten when you open the box---------
-
Tomorrow is my parents last night in town before they go on the trip to Canada to deal with my late grandmas condo, etc. I wanna do something nice for them but no idea what to make!
Try BBQ'ing some shish-ka-bobs. You can usually pick up some ready-made marinated ones at a local fruit market or meat shop. This is always a favorite for quick & special around here in the summertime. Some fresh fruit and perhaps bread on the side makes a great meal!!! The veggies are already included on the stick, but you can cook some more if you like. I love grilled asparagus.
-
Tonight my sister arrives from Florida (she used to live on a small island called Grant Island, but now lives in Vero Beach and they have a place on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica) for a two week visit. We'll take her for dinner to a Japanese restaurant.
I'm having lobster tempura, stir-fried veggies, couple pieces of California roll and rice. Green tea with that. I seldom if ever eat deep fried stuff but tonight I will for the lobster but I'll ask to have my veggies not deep fried. I've sent them so much business over the years that they accommodate me very nicely and I really appreciate it.

-
Mibarra it is the stupid pre lap band diet
but the shake stuff is good
really good
I have those two times a day and then two regular size meals
that is if I really followed the diet
have to wait for the surgery b/c my calcium is too low
I mix fruit with the protein shake stuff and it tastes just like a Diary Queen shake
so
I wish I ate what you ate the other night -- the night you cleaned out your fridge------- YUMMY

Oh yes.. I remember hubby having to have those shakes.

2 Nature Valley Vanilla Yogart Granola Bars.

Started off with a Flavored Vodka (tasted like Pina Colada) lemonaid slush something, then fried ravioli (they used pepper cheese in the ravioli, and some ranch fries (bacon, mozzarella and Colby cheese melted on waffle fries, and then a 16 oz Guinness beer. No buzz though, guess not enough vodka :rofl;

I'm alone so I think I am going to make some Turkey Burgers. I also was looking and there are a lot of staples on sale like butter and ground beef, etc. Maybe a side dish as well like some boiled salt potatoes or asparagus.
-
Parmesan fried chicken breasts, since it's just me and my son and it's one of the few "real" foods I can get him to eat. I had a salad with it. I made lots of extra chicken, and am going to take it with low-fat tortillas, lettuce and honey mustard sauce for lunch this week.

fried zucchini and a decaf diet pepsi

cesar salad and a coke (a real one with sugar) Oh, I'm terrible.

-
Martini olives :rofl;
-
I used pkarol's link to get a free chicken sandwich from McDonalds along with a large decaf coffee on my way home tonight.
-
I went out after work with some friends and had 6 olives with a couple of martinis.
Then I came home and had Pa Ward's grilled chicken and veggies from the garden. I don't know if I've shared this chix recipe before. It came from a good friend. It is super easy, and super good.
Pa Ward's Chicken:
Marinate chicken in 1 c. apple cider vinegar, 1/3 c. Texas Pete, juice of a lemon. We use thighs or drumsticks and marinate overnight or all day. Grill slowly over low heat. Add hickory chips to the grill if you have them. Will take about 45-60 minutes. You can buy chix thighs on sale, freeze them in the marinade, defrost and then grill.
-
Caesar salad, prime rib, baked potato. YUM! No desert... yet.
We went to Texas Roadhouse.
-
and I know you brought home a doggie bag for your pets
how is Mew-Mew
I guess the shark post card ate the mailman
:yahoo; :yahoo; :yahoo;
-
Oh no! The shark postcard is on the loose chomping on people. I will have to try sending another shark.
Mew mew is banned from our bedroom at night. I don't think she ever sleeps! She enjoys racing across our heads at night and dive bombing the dogs. Sooo, it's off to her crate at night.
And I am having macaroni and cheese for dinner. Kraft of course.
-
Can't remember if I ate anything :urcrazy; ??? :banghead;
-
barbequed chicken....I just take a whole chicken, season it and wrap it in foil with a bottle of bbq sauce. Just toss it on the grill for about an hour.
-
Last night I went to the casino buffet. I had lots of sirloin steak, broccoli, carrots and some roasted potatoes. Yum.
-
so what did you leave Queen Ruth to eat :bow; :waving; :cuddle;
-
I am having a pizza delivered here tonight, going to watch the closing ceremonies of the olympics. I ordered a medium pepperoni and mushroom. Wish they had a small but they dont.
-
On the grill....pork chops, corn on the cob, and peas & carrots.
-
barbequed chicken....I just take a whole chicken, season it and wrap it in foil with a bottle of bbq sauce. Just toss it on the grill for about an hour.
I like this idea, sounds easy. What kind of bbq sauce do you use? Does it really cook in an hour?
Tonight we had grilled buffalo burgers (from Trader Joe's), summer squash sauteed with onions and garlic, and salad.
We're having Belgian waffles with strawberries and Cool Whip (my hubby is watching his cholesterol) for dessert. I made this for dessert before Will left for college and had leftover waffles that I froze. We have to do something to cheer ourselves up!
-
My sister and I went to a Vietnamese restaurant and had skinny rice vermicelli with pork and shrimp spring rolls (lots of onions, sprouts, not too much meat) and lots of fresh mint and cilantro, hot sauce.
Watermelon for dessert.
-
It takes about an hour on medium heat with lid closed. I usually turn it every now and then. I rub the chicken with olive oil and season it. (I use Mrs. Dash Chipolte blend). My favorite sauce is a 50-50 mix of Coke and low sodium ketchup. If you want to feel safe, use a meat thermometer (165-175 is done). If you want more flavor, stick a half can of beer in the cavity.
-
FlipBob - how do you keep the peas and carrots from falling into the grill ???
-
:flower; monrien :flower;
where is the photo of the food you ate with your sister
and where is the photo of you two together ???
-
Twirl, I keep forgetting to take pictures of the food we're eating. I'll try to remember to take pics of our lunch today. I was at my cousin's wedding on Saturday, to a girl of Korean background and we had an amazing Korean feast but again I forgot to take photos. However, here are some shots from the wedding. The pots of flowers behind the bride and groom are from my garden, about 6 of my big pots went to the wedding. The baby is one of my other cousins' latest, and then there's me and my sis.
-
What a beautiful wedding dress..and your cousin looks so happy :flower;
for my dinner - a chedderwurst with onions and a diet 7up
-
great photos Gail.
Thanks for the details on the chicken Flip. I'm not totally sold on the coke idea, but I am going to try it that way at least once 'cause it's your recipe. maybe this weekend...
-
beautiful!
-
I use frozen peas and carrots (crinkle cut) and put them in foil with some chopped onion, garlic powder, butter and a little sugar. I just wrap them up and toss them on the grill for about 45 minutes.
-
Tonight will be a chicken sandwich with american swiss on marble rye, yoplait yogart (key lime), and maybe a chocolate chip fudge cookie.
-
Beautiful pictures Gail!! :flower; Tonight I had a toasted salad and a slice of toast.
-
I took a night off from the grill. Spaghetti with red pepper sauce and garlic bread.
-
Flip Bob were you a chef in another life
-
I was going to have a tv dinner then, I read it had 1950 whatever of sodium which is my daily dose so instead I had a bowl or two of Cheerio's...Boxman
-
Boxman ------ you are so good
I would have eaten the tv dinner and finished it off with the cheerios
Healthy Choice and Lean Cusine have dinners under 700 sodium
they may not be as good as the 1950 sodium but at least you could eat it
stay handsome

-
We just had a really fun evening. Our neighbor Barry turns 70 this week. He and his wife Kate came over and our other neighbors Laurie and Scott did too. I made a bunch of yummy things to eat and we drank cosmos (okay, the guys drank beer). We had chocolate covered strawberries and apricot-filled puff pastry for dessert.
We all had flooded houses after Hurricane Isabel in 2003, so we hope Gustav dies an early death or significantly weakens in the Gulf. We became really good friends after that hurricane. It affected us in a way that few others can understand. For us it's always life before and after the hurricane.
-
Grapes and a turkey/string cheese roll up.

spinach salad with applewood smoked bacon and a balsamic vinagrette dressing
buffalo ribeye topped with a crab and bluecheese sauce and some kind of stuffed tomato

-
What are you talking about, Twirl? I cooked it myself of course! HA HA! Perry's Steakhouse and Grill.. Awesome!
And I know we will have school. Darn it all! It couldn't have rained just a little? What kinda hurricane is this?
For lunch today I had goat cheese and bruschetta with pita chips. That was good too.
-
I do not have the courage to eat goat cheese.
wait a minute
you ate buffalo
aren't they on some kind of endangered list :waving;
so what was it like
doesn't it cost more :thumbup;
-
I finally downloaded the Peruvian food pictures. We went back the other night., Oh Lordy I could eat there every night!
seco, Aji gallina, and a papa rellena. A beef dish, a chicken dish and a stuffed potato.
-
Kitkatz, that looks yummy! What is it?
Twirl, to me buffalo tastes like regular beef. It is less fatty, but the restaurant cooked it just right. It was not dry. just delicious!
Goat cheese is a bit salty and crumbly. It was good with the bruschetta. My husband wants me to roll up some chicken breasts with goat cheese and the bruschetta inside. But, alas, I must stop eating the tomatoes! My potassium is already getting high! :-\
-
what is that?
bananas with rice
the pink beans look good
looks interesting - no chips?
-
Last night we had salsa chicken, spanish rice, black beans (canned), zucchini and a green salad.
Tonight we went to Bingo and bought dinner there - spaghetti. Lordy - did it give me gas!!
-
gas is great-- toot out the calories --- makes spaghetti low cal
-
My husband made dinner tonight. (He also made me breakfast before I had to drag myself off to work.) He is being nice because I am having a tough year with the most rotten kid in our school. This most rotten kid is 7 years old!
We had salad with gouda cheese pieces and baked chicken breast stuffed with goat cheese and the bruschetta tomato stuff on top.
-
I see a lot of potassium in those pics :puke; I love beans and really miss them.
-
We had chicken on the grill, mashed potatoes, peas and carrots, rolls, iced tea with lime, and

my daughter is having a harder pg than with Trasie
and her husband is quitting yet another job
he needs to grow up
a wife, a daugher and soon a son
he is smart and could go to college but he thinks he will invent the next great video game
if there is one good thing
it is that Stasie realizes she needs to get an education instead of high school only
she would make an excellent coach
I love my son-in-law but he is spoiled rotten
-
Blue Bell ice cream :yahoo;
IKE is going to take our electricity so I say---- "Let's eat the fun stuff." Ike can have the broccoli.
-
We had stuffed peppers and I made homemade almond milk ice cream (Len can't have nuts). Hope you stay dry twirl. :cuddle; By the way, I like broccoli. :flower;
-
Wow, we had stuffed peppers too. But no ice cream.
-
spaghetti and meatballs with my secret low potassium sauce.
-
We had spag too but NOT low pot sauce..but good.
twirl: you will laugh or should..I'm sorry about your son in law....my friend in ND has 2 daughters...the 23 yr old really doesn't like to work..has made up all kinds of things so he feels sorry for her...last 4 years told him she has aids...but no symptoms..and he believed her....I finally got her to get a job when I lived in ND and she moved to the city right after I left...yup that's her and he has a 28 yr old daughter that is sick every other week, also lives in the city and gets a new job every other month and new boyfriends every other month and now, yes you guessed it..they both are applying for jobs in their home town again..they and their male friends so guess what...yes, dad will be supporting the whole group as I know they will not have jobs...all live for video and xbox and wii...if I were him I would turn off the electricity but I'm not and I'm not going anywhere near there without a fully loaded you know what. He can visit me. :beer1;
-
spaghetti and meatballs with my secret low potassium sauce.
it's vodka with a few sliced tomatoes that he grills :secret; & :o it is a well kept secret until now
-
SHHHH! You were not supposed to tell about it. It is a secret sauce after all!
-
i ordered chinese takeout
-
and what did your fortune cookie say
my last one said I was going to have a new experience
still waiting
and IKE does not count
seen many hurricanes
although this one does seem meaner
-
hopefully you have a generator, Twirl
-
They were out of generators here.
Twirly, it doesn't seem like it is going to be so bad anymore. Probably only a Cat 2 when it hits.
My last fortune cookie said, "The love of your life is right in front of your eyes." I was having lunch with hubby.
The one before that said, "One must kiss a few frogs before Prince Charming comes along."
Now hubby thinks he is the Prince Charming. I told him he was one of many frogs along the way!
Today for dinner, I made chili. We are trying to use the meat in the freezer before Hurricane Ike turns off the electricity.
-
we took care of the ice cream first
and bought more so I could feel justified by eating it
counts as fluid
we do not have a generator
they were out
and we never learn our lesson and buy one when it is not needed
>:(
so your husband is a frog?
I like green
and is he a cute tree frog
they are so cute
-
Taco night tonight. Yummmmmm.
-
He is more like a big croaking bullfrog. =)
Leftover chili for lunch.
Does anyone have any creative ideas for ground beef? I'm trying to clean out the fridge just in case...
-
and what did your fortune cookie say

-
MIbarra, how about a meatloaf. If you loose power you can always have a meatloaf sandwich. I hope things go well for you. I will be thinking about you. :cuddle;
-
That's done it now... having been reading your foodie posts I've now got a hankering for meatloaf...i adore it
will have to go out and buy some ground beef in the morning. (I'm in England) Hope Ike is kind to you in the states
-
oh thanks Mibarra
IKE will not let me go to the store and buy ingredients for meat loaf
I love meat loaf sandwiches
I am having cheetos, mango water and kroger's con queso dip --- not the best buy cheap
-
Chinese buffet on the way back from Nashville. It was awful. Now I'm watching for Twirl on the weather channel. Ike looks nasty.
-
Hey FlipBob,
there is almost nothing worse that a bad Chinese buffett :puke;
it is windy outside and a small boy was killed by a falling tree in our county
the wind is blooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowing
my twin is flooded in at Clear Lake
well,
hope we have power
Twirl

bloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowing wind
-

Really good Ace Bakery baguette (white unfortunately but renally correct), hamburger made with baguette crumbs, parsley, garlic. Accompanied by roasted red peppers, grilled portobello mushrooms and onions plus a side salad of mostly belgian endives.
-
MIbarra.... I love goat cheese... I make a killer goat cheese pizza!
I hope twirl is okay.... has she been on since Ike hit?
Tonight I made chicken fajitas but I put the meat in a wheat pita... (dang diabetes! I sooo wanted them on flour tortillas!)
I also had a diet sunkist coolwhip shake.
-
Roast beef, white rice with gravy, eggplant casserole, Italian bread, and that good old tea
with lime.
Mimi
-
Donnia, what is a diet sunkist cool whip shake?
Goatcheese pizza sounds yummy!
-
Having toast for dinner because lunch was so good. I had grilled salmon over stir-fried bean sprouts with snow peas, steamed rice, salad with ginger dressing, and veggie tempura with one shrimp tempura. I skipped the miso soup because of too much sodium.
-
Gail, I'm coming to eat with you. We are having leftovers and a small salad. Maybe ice cream later. :cuddle;
-
Sure, so it'll be toast and ice cream then. OK, bring the salad too. Gotta be healthy right. :cuddle;
-
Tonight we had cabbage stew with cabbage, tomatoes and sausage. Yummy!
MIbarra.... I mix frozen cool whip with diet Sunkist to make a shake.... it is sooo good! You can't tell it has DIET sunkist in it.
Goat Cheese Pizza is delicious!
2 Pizza Crust... spread alfredo sauce on each one (not too much or your toppings will slide off), put a layer of canadian bacon (or whatever toppings you like.. I don't suggest pepperoni though because it overpowers the pizza), layer of blackened chicken ( I do not cut the chicken in small pieces... I use strips that are kinda chunky), layer of mozzarella cheese, chunks (not too big) of goat cheese.... thats it :) I have also put spinich and black olives.
-
Ohhh I'm going to try that Goat Cheese Pizza....and that shake..........ok donnia...please the cabbage stew recipie..it sounds great. I had a flounder, coleshaw, potatoe salad and am full.
Ann
-
Chicken Parm!!
-
Pork chops, squash and zucchini with onions, small baked potato.... I think a little later I will have some cottage cheese with pineapples.
GMa... the squash stew is yummmy!!! This makes quite a bit... you could probably 1/2 it and have plenty for 2.
1 large head cabbage
2 pkgs polish sausage (last night I used one that was jalapeno cheese sausage and it was great!)
1 26 oz can tomato sauce (you could probably use alot less tomato sauce if you are restricted)
1 26 oz can chopped stewed tomatoes
enough water to make it how you like it
Cut sausage into 'coins' and throw in large pot to start cooking a little.
Put can of tomato sauce, can of stewed tomatoes and water in and let simmer a little while you chop cabbage.
Chop cabbage and add it to pot. Stir regularly so all the cabbage will start cooking.
I keep a lid on it to get it to cook faster.
Hope you like it :flower;

Fettucine pasta with a homemade tomato, ground beef sauce. Since I can't eat too much of the tomato sauce, I thicken it up by adding some grilled oyster mushrooms, and grilled red peppers and if I want it really thick and hearty I add char grilled japanese eggplants (the long skinny paler mauve ones). Top with a bit of freshly ground romano (or parmesan if you prefer it). Or go all out and add freshly chopped parsley to garnish.
-
Yummm! That sounds delicious monrein! I love pasta but have to limit it right now :banghead;
-
Thanks donnia..I'm going to try that cabbage stew when my honey comes to visit...we both love cabbage..a friend of his last week made cabbage and onions "fried" in butter and he said it was so good so I'm going to try that too. Not sure what seasoning to use on that tho..any ideas anyone?

http://homecooking.about.com/od/howtocookvegetables/a/cabbagecooktips.htm
Here are some ideas.
I also like cumin because its strong flavour helps me to miss salt less. Be sure to toast the cumin seeds in a bit of butter or olive oil for best flavour. Cumin is a spice that people seem to either love or hate. I love it.
-
This is soooo not low fat, but I like to fry a package of bacon (I cut it up into one inch pieces) in a large stock pot and when the bacon is done I add about 1/2 - 1 cup of water. I then add cabbage (usually about 1 med - large head, chopped). Cover and stir frequently to prevent burning. I don't add any seasoning.
Tomorrow I am making sticky chicken..... any ideas on low carb sides that are good 'fillers'.... since I can't really eat mashed potatoes... maccaroni and cheese or rice.
I do have some squash and zucchini in the fridge... how about a casserole that is filling to go with the chicken. Any good recipes?
-
Sticky Chicken...well lady, please share that one.
-
This is absolutely delicious!!! I sometimes double the recipe and do 4 chickens at once then freeze 3 of them.... they freeze great!
Sticky Chicken
2 whole chickens
3 tsp salt (I use alot less) 2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp cayenne 1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp thyme 1 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder (I use more) 1/2 tsp black pepper
1 medium onion chopped
Clean chicken, remove giblets and pat dry. Combine all the dry seasonings and put 1/2 spice mixture into each chicken, both inside and out, making sure it is even and down deep into the skin. Place each chicken in a resealable plastic bag, seal and refrigerate overnight. When ready to roast chicken, stuff each cavity with onions, and place in a shallow baking pan. Roast, uncovered, at 250 degrees for 5 hours (yes, 250 degrees for 5 hours). After the first hour, baste chicken occasionally (every half hour or so) with pan juices. The pan juices will start to caramelize on the bottom of pan and the chicken will turn golden brown. If the chicken contains a pop-up thermometer, ignore it. Let chicken rest about 10 minutes before carving.
I use this recipe at Thanksgiving too.... It is soooo tender and delicious!
So, tonight... Sticky chicken, squash and zucchini, leftover cabbage stew, small baked potatoes
-
Last night we had chicken tacos (with leftover sticky chicken) and tamales.... using leftovers and cleaning out the freezer :flower;
-
Lomo Saltado and papas rellenas again. Peruvian food. Good God was it good!
-
I had tacoa while everyone else in the casa ate Weinerscnitzel chili cheese dogs.
-
Tonight we are having haked chicken, broccoli, squash and zucchini, and baked potatos.
-
Half a hamburger, three thick slices of grilled portobello mushroom, grilled red peppers, steamed corn off the cob, taboule salad and two slices of Ace Bakery baguette.
-
what is taboule
girl, you are not from the south----- I ain't never heard of stuff you eat
what happened to the other half of the burger and was it a vegetable burger
tonight-------- and this is ashamed- ryans--- got vegetables only --- no salad
-
Twirl, I AM from the south, the Jamaican South. :rofl;
Taboule is a Middle Eastern salad made with bulgur (but I use white couscous instead) and lots of garlic, chopped parsley, bits of tomato, lemon juice, cucumber and fresh mint.
I only eat half a burger to watch my protein and phosphorus. No it wasn't a veggie burger, it was lean Angus beef.
-
Twirl... You will have to go to Toronto to understand.....lol
I had to laugh when i read this...
-
I was getting at the half hambuger part, and the grilled portabello... sorry i will stay out of it.. >:D
-
OK Jay, next time I come to St Mary's are you coming with me to Woolfy's or not? Is it still around? My favorite place to eat though is Rundles in Stratford. Well, second favorite to a number of places in Quebec and Paris. :rofl;
Being a "foodie" on a renal diet is my idea of cruel and unusual punishment.
-
I'm not feeling very well today and Stephen made me a pot of the most delicious chicken vegetable soup. Yum.
-
Hey You "My Kidney" yup Wolfie's is still there but I will take you to a better place than that, the Westover Inn, 4 diamond rating... But you have to promise that we forget about the renal diet for the night!!!
-
I haven't heard of Rundle's, I will have to check that one, Woolfie's is hardly ever open, I think Fri and Sat night and maybe one other, there is never any cars there....it's right around the corner from where we live so I see it fairly often. Mind you EVERYTHING is right around the corner from where I live, considering how small of a town St. MArys is.
-
Sure, I like the Westover Inn. If it's good enough for Christopher Plummer it's good enough for me. Rundles is my all time favorite but we need to start saving now. Either way, I'll shelve my restrictions if you do the same.
-
Deal... I am hoping I will have a whole lot less restrictions once I start nocturnal.
-
For the first time in years we had Kentucky Fried Chicken. My youngest grandson didn't
care for KFC, so we got our fried chicken from other places or fixed it at home. However, it has been several years since we fixed it at home. It tasted pretty good considering we hadn't had it for a long time. None of us are supposed to eat fried anything.

Yesterday I made my homemade tomato sauce, simmered it in the crockpot all day. MMMMM it smelled delicious. I also made homemade meatballs and cooked some sausages, added it to the sauce and let that cook all day also. Boiled some pasta and a loaf of french bread to top it off. It was very delish!
Tonight we are grilling cheeseburgers along with a big salad.
-
skyedogrocks
did you save me any
how about a recipe for the sauce
I have a crockpot :clap; :clap;
I do not care if it is renal friendly or not :beer1;

This is dinner tonight again. Almost the same as my last supper post. Half a burger, taboule salad, grilled portobellos, grilled red peppers, grilled artichoke heart and fresh baguette.
-
veggie beef soup. I'm still not totally ready for solid food. - Too much chewing is still hard on my throat.
-
Sole stuffed with scallops and crabmeat, twice baked potatoes, big tossed salad, garlic bread,
and iced tea.
-
Tonight we are having baked gumbo chicken, pinto beans, rice, and tomato salad.

meat loaf, squash patties and sweet peas.
-
We grilled today.... pork ribs, beef ribs, sausage, potatoes with onion, cabbage with bacon, pea salad, flour tortillas for the hubby, corn tortillas for me (patting myself on the back) and
pico de galllo.
I love making my vegetables on the grill! YUMMY!!!
My belly is full..... not too full though, I was a very good girl... and now I am ready for the Cowboys game to start!!!
-
This is dinner tonight again. Almost the same as my last supper post. Half a burger, taboule salad, grilled portobellos, grilled red peppers, grilled artichoke heart and fresh baguette.
oh, must taste better than it looks - why does the artichoke have a red center
I had something from a Viet Nam restaurant
I'm not sure what it was but Monrein would know
it was noodlely stuff and soup
-
That's a sundried cherry tomato on the artichoke Twirl. Sorry you didn't think it looked tasty. I enjoyed it a lot.
At the Vietnamese restaurant was it Pho (pronounced sort of like Fa) but anglos say Fo? That's soup with beef or a variety of meats and rice noodles and some veggies sprinkled in. I love it but don't do the salty broth any more so I get different stuff now.
-
Hubby made green chicken and cheese enchiladas.. Pretty good.
-
We did left overs tonight..... tacos and tamales
-
it was Pho
and a lot of lettuce
and way too much broth
and some sprouts
the mushroom on your plate looks yummy
donna and mibarra---- don't texans eat yummy food green chicken, cheese enchiladas, tacos and tamales
so where is your husband's recipe for cheese enchiladas and green chicken
Allen is coming home this weekend after a long time, he misses my cooking? the football players eat like kings--- steak and popcorn shrimp-
and he misses his mommy's cooking----( I added the mommy part :-*)
-
I made a roasted chicken with stuffing and potatoes, carrots and green beans with fresh sliced garder tomatoes. Pumpkin cheese cake for dessert. Very good but with myself and my daughter only, we will be eating that chicken all week, it was bigger then I thought. ;D
-
twirl.... I honestly don't think you can beat Texas foods!!! (Just ask my hips, they will tell ya)
Tonight we had leftover sticky chicken (When I made it a few weeks ago, I made 2 and put one in the freezer), baked potato, pea salad and green beans.
-
ok donnia, what is sticky chicken. sounds interesting. i love chicken and am always looking for new recipes. would you be willing to post it.
-
Green Chicken Cheese Enchiladas --- this is my husband's recipe.. I don't guarantee it! =)
Chicken pieces with bone - boil with carrots, celery, onion, parsley, garlic, salt -- whatever you want
Corn tortillas
Greene Enchilada sauce - medium or regular if you don't want spicy HATCH is my favorite, but Old El Paso will do too
White cheese - mozzarella or Monterrey jack shredded
Cheddar cheese - shredded
Cut up green chilis - they're in a can in the Mexican section -- small little can - Herdez makes the best in my opinion
Heat up sauce. Dip tortillas in it to soften. Fill with chicken and roll up like a taquito. Place all rolled up tortillas in a casserole dish. Slather with the enchilada sauce, poor the chilis on top too.. Slather with white cheese.. Poor a bunch of cheddar cheese on top of that. Bake around 375 for 20 minutes. Not a dialysis friendly recipe with all the cheese. You can cut some of the cheese to make it a little better on the diet. (OK, cut a bunch of the cheese and it MAY be okay!) =)
-
sounds great and I can not wait to make it
thanks very much
dinner will be --------- I do not know yet, I have such a headache
-
I'm thinking I might go out for shrimp and veggie tempura. I'm slowly losing weight so I might overlook the deep-fried factor which is usually against my "rules".
-
YOU DO NOT NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT
you follow rules?
look at that 3 year old attitude on your face
how cute is that
-
Potato & ham soup with filled ham and cheese biscuits, all homemade.
Fall comfort food!
I went shopping today, and got what I needed to make the potato soup, as well as meatloaf and chili. Tomorrow, I'm stopping at the farm to get fresh apples - I want crisp and pie and baked apples in raisin sauce. . . .
-
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I need comfort food, I have a headache
I WANT TO COME OVER
what is your recipes for potato soup ----- Bubba could drink that stuff
left over meatloaf sandwiches are to die for------- the best part is the left over for sandwiches
-
I don't have a recipe - I just put 'tatos in the pot and start adding things until it tastes like soup! Tonight's pot had onion, garlic, ham, sweet corn and cheddar cheese, among other things. And soup base - gotta have that condensed stock, even if I only use a little.
Come on over - I made a huge pot, took some to my MIL, and there's still a ton left over. I already put some in the freezer for later, but I'll dish some up for you, twirl!

I'm not trying to lose weight Twirl. It's happening in spite of any intention. I do have food rules so that I don't find myself having to try to lose weight (during transplant days). Things are a bit different now.
My rules as a normal person involve always eating whole grains instead of "white" anything (sushi is an exception), staying away from too much sugar, red meat no more than once a week max, very little butter, and no deep-fried stuff except a bite here and there or stealing a couple of fries from someone who orders them. I haven't eaten a whole order of fries in years. I also read labels carefully to avoid trans fats in particular. Not always easy but I've managed to control my weight very well in spite of years of prednisone and all the other trx meds.
I like the taste of all foods, everything really, but that doesn't mean I eat them all.
-
I like the taste of all foods, everything really, but that doesn't mean I eat them all.
My rules - eat everything, just not often or in large amounts! I've learned that denying myself anything just makes me binge on it when I can't stand being without it anymore.
-
Guiso (corn tortillas for me, flour for hubby) spanish rice, salad
:flower;
-
Used all the leftover roasted chicken and made a nice yummy pot of noodle and vegetable chicken soup.... perfect for the weather, it is really starting to chill off fast around here. :flower;
-
goulash tonight. (DId i spell that right?)
-
Marvin made spaghetti with his homemade sauce. It was absolutely delicious -- and even better because I didn't have to cook it! I did have to do the dishes, though :( and Marvin's a messy cook. But, I'll overlook that this time because the spaghetti was sooooooo good.
-
Fried chicken, local deli has 8 pieces for 2.99. I usually share with Cujo.

Poppy seed chicken over rice, green beans, rolls, and good ole southern iced tea. Cinnamon
roll for desert.

Pizza tonight.
-
I made a recipes from a magazine
chili for tailgating
got half way thru the ingredients and it called for sugar and cinnamon
TH --- I ain't baking cookies, I'm making chili
it called for a can of rotel --- I did add that
then I made spicey muffins
and they are healthy and you add two cups of fresh spinach
and egg whites and I could not find the muffin pans so I made it like cornbread
my muffin pans better not be in the garage with screws and bolts in them
oh and the chili called for 8 ounces of beer so I had to drink the other 4 ounces
-
I've sugared chili, but never tried cinnamon.
I've put chili powder in chocolate cake, though, so I guess the reverse theory would work as well. .. .
-
Oh petey...I love spaghetti and really enjoy doing dishes hint hint....
-
yesterday I put a pork roast in the slow cooker with a pack of french onion soup mix and a can of cream of celery soup. Let it cook from 7am till 5pm made some garlic linguine noodles and it was awesome. The meat just fell off the bone...Boxman
-
Hmmmmm...Boxman that does sound delish.
We had baked tilapia with garlic butter sauce last night, baked potatoe, cole slaw, rolls.
Family had sweetened iced tea, I had a big frosty glass of diet coke.
-
We had junk tonight, but tomorrow we are having home made fried chicken,smashed potato salad, and cole slaw.
I hardly ever make fried chicken or fry anything for that matter so we're all looking forward to it. Yummy!
-
At the cottage last night I made grilled steaks on the barbeque, sauteed red peppers and King Oyster mushrooms on top of the steaks, steamed cauliflower with parsley&Mrs Dash lemon butter, salad and tiny new potatoes in the "devil". The "devil" (diable where it comes from) is a rounded, covered clay pot from the Charente region of France. You wash the potatoes and while they're wet you salt them with a little kosher salt and drop them in the devil. Then you set a wire rack to elevate it off the burner slightly and over ten minutes slowly turn the heat up to medium. You shake the devil every ten minutes or so and the potatoes get browned as they cook. They have a lovely dry roasted nutty flavour and my husband and mother-in-law who adore their potatoes like them this way best.
Dessert was angel food cake with tinned peaches and a dollop of pudding. My renal trifle imitation.
I hate my 2 day dialysis break because I'm not used to watching everything quite so carefully so dinner tonight is toasted french baguette with cream cheese and jam.
-
I did lazy today because we just did too much outside. Salisbury steak, mac-n-cheese and green beans, but I did make beer bread. :waving;
-
Squash, heavy on the pepper and butter. Had some cheese and crackers it with it, but didn't get ambitious enough to make anything else!
-
My husband had a vacation day that he had to use up, so he took today off.... I came home from work and this is what he had made for dinner....
Tacos (with homemade shells yum), spanish rice and chile rellenos.... YUMMMMYYYY! He even made me a plate to take to work for lunch! :flower;
-
This is so sad..... Campbell"s Chicken noodle soup. Len is having the broth and I'm having the noodles. He isn't well today. :'(
-
My husband is making chili and corn bread. (Usually his chili is toooo hot for me. Anything remotely hot is too hot for me lately. I wonder if it's one of the meds after transplant?)
-

You're the first person I've talked to (well typed to I suppose LOL) that has noticed they can't eat as "hot" food as they used to pre-transplant. I used to easily handle very hot pepper (Jamaican background and all that) but now it makes the sides and back of my throat tickle in the strangest way. It has never come back to normal for me.
-
Gobbler sandwiches - turkey, bacon, swiss, onion, thousand island dressing, and green apple slices.
-
Whopper JR and chicken pieces from Burger King.
-
Spinach and feta pizza and hot wings..... Yummy!!! :clap;
-
ooohhh harley..that pizza sounds good......I had a pork chop and broccoli..first time in ages I've had something healthy enough to share... :rofl;
-
Grilled honey/habanero chicken, corn (the frozen stuff), rice, and salad. Peaches later if I'm still hungry.
-
so mistress chef...when are you going to start taking orders and sending me my meals? Your check will be in the mail. :bow;
-
:rofl;
-
Tonight for me: leftover rice and kalua pork with cabbage, turned into kimchi fried rice. Maybe a fried egg on top.
-
You just make fried rice and add kimchee to it? That sounds pretty good. Are you of Korean background?
-
Yup, just fried rice, with chopped-up kimchi added to it, plus whatever else (in this case the pork and cabbage). I'm not Korean, just adventurous in food and on a bit of a Korean kick, now that I found a Korean market in town.
-
:thumbup; I eat a lot of Korean food and love it.
-
Someone needs to come cook for me!
-
I'll be right over. I wish. We could go to the gym, come back to your place and cook, eat and then head out for nocturnal. Would that qualify as a sleepover.
-
I had beef stroganoff and garlic bread...Boxman
-
We went Chinese tonight. Yum, yum, yummy.
-
Made a second batch of potato soup tonight - the first one went far too fast! The soup and some hot filled biscuits made a warm, cozy dinner.
-
my son- in- law cooked for us
I am not sure what it was ---- but I "liked" and thanks for once to the renal diet---- I could not eat much......
some kind of casserole with everything in it---- even the kitchen sink
he is always trying to prove he cooks better than me---- like that is going to happen
if I cooked worse than he does I would not need the band
but I told him I liked it
he wants me to make him a nanner pudding, crab salad and king ranch casserole
and I will
someday next week
goodbye
-
Last night slow cooked prime roast with au ju and smashed garlic n cheese potatoes with steamed carrots... daughter brought it home from work for me, she is a chef.... lucky me.. very very yummy :clap;

Monrein, I used to enjoy spicy food.. especially Korean food... but now sometimes I eat cole-slaw and my mouth is burning from something in it. Oh well.. sometimes I just suffer through it because it is sooo good. Last time I had Korean food with a childhood friend, I went through about 4 glasses of bori-cha (or however you spell it) a Korean tea like beverage made out of rice or something, I forget.

It's green tea with roasted barley. I like it but I prefer straight good quality japanese green tea.
-
Tonight was improvised Korean chili shrimp on sticky rice. I ran out of garlic, ginger, and green onions; so I slivered a shallot and sauteed it in sesame oil, then added a couple handfuls of small peeled shrimp. Once they were pink I added a sauce made of gochujang (Korean fermented red pepper paste), sake, mirin, rice vinegar, and garlic powder. When the shrimp were nice and coated, I added a couple spoonfuls of gochugaru (Korean red pepper powder, coarse grind) and some toasted sesame seeds, then served the shrimp over a bowl of sticky rice. By the time I was done eating the shrimp, the sauce residue had coated the rice and turned it all a nice shade of red.
Tomorrow I'll hit the farmer's market in the morning, and the Korean market after that, and probably end up making a stew for dinner. My hemoglobin's up this week - can you tell? :yahoo;
-
Man, that sounds fantastic to me R.

I had a pork chop cooked in cream of mushroom soup and veggies with whole grain rice. I have a turkey defrosting to cook for thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.

My daughter in law's 40th birthday so her mom and dad cooked as they love to do...oh Lord the food....all Shannon's favorites...Chicken Casserole with water chestnuts, sour cream and cheese, potato salad, pinto beans in a wonderful sauce, mac and cheese, home made cream corn, cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, peanut butter and chocolate layered brownies and assorted drinks. Yes, sorry, I tasted it all and it all was wonderful, then came home and just crashed. This couple does sometimes cater and during the holidays has standing orders for all sorts of entrees and baked goods, and generally make enough for about 50 to 75 people and during the holidays more so they can take plates to shutins and send lots home with the kids, other family members, and friends. :cheer:

It is order out night here. So whatever Karen decides on we shall have.
Either cheesesteak or Chinese is the norm...
-
:waving; twirl and G-Ma come on over. I make plenty so I can freeze them to have later in the year. paul.karen, I love making bread, I have really taking a liking to Beer bread. It is so good if made with a dark beer. My sourdough starter smells so wonderful. I need a bigger kitchen but it doesn't look like that is going to happen anytime soon. Poor me. :'(
-
oh wow...twirl..meet me here...I feel a road trip coming up.....Maryland is only about 10 hours from Charlotte I think....oh those bread pictures...are you taking orders w w ?? :bow;

make some gravy and my husband would be all yours - he prefers cream gravy
-
twirl, Len loves my sausage gravy over homemade biscuits. I make a pretty good chipped beef gravy too. twirl, monrein, G-Ma and anyone else, you all are welcome anytime. Now don't laugh you guys, I have 3 (yes 3) Kitchenaid mixers and it's not unusual for 2 to be going at the same time. I love baking and with the weather getting colder (you have snow already Gail, just start driving south), I'll be in the kitchen a lot. This Thursday, I'm making pizza dough for my daughter and son to freeze. I'm still trying to master a sweet yeast dough that we had in Oriental NC years ago. I love, love, love the smell of bread baking, even my neighbors say they can smell it. :cuddle;
-
monrein..you are back...I love that picture.

I tried hard to be careful today but it was very tough. I went to a huge (120 women) shower for a girl I've known closely since she was 7. The groom is Italian and the shower was a sit down lunch of 4 courses and cake as a fifth course.
We started with an antipasto plate with prosciutto and melon, grilled peppers, bocconcini, eggplant and shrimp and octopus salad. Next the pasta which was a spinach and ricotta cheese lasagna. Next was chicken parmigiana with mesclun salad, roasted fingerling potatoes and veggies. Then a very nice fruit salad, coffee and cake.
I skipped the first course except ate the grilled peppers and eggplant. Ate a 1/4 of the lasagna, a third of the chicken breast and the fruit salad. Wee slice of cake and an espresso.
The wedding is on Valentine's Day and there will be 7 courses at the wedding dinner. Maybe I'll have a transplant by then.

Wow Monrein. Lamb is one of the meats that I am suppose to eat because it is beneficial for me. I just had it the other day. My mom used to make it but have not had it before in my marriage. I need to have it more in the future. I have no idea how to cook it, but bake it in the oven. Any recipes would be very welcome--Please.

How do you make "dirty rice?"
-
okarol how do you feel about cooking with chicken livers
-
King Ranch Casserole
a member asked me for this recipe a few months ago -- finally posting it
6 chicken breast halves, cooked and diced
12 corn tortillas, cut into squares
1 med onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies --- like rotel
pepper - recipe calls for garlic powder, salt and cayenne pepper
2/3 cup chicken broth
pour about 1/3 cup of broth over the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch baking pan, layer half of the tortilla quarters on the botton, then half of the chicken, onion, bell pepper, and dollops of about 1/2 of both soups, sprinkle with a little garlic powder, salt and cayenne pepper -
repeat layers , spread tomatoes over the top and drizzle with remaining chicken broth
cover with foil and bake for 350 for 45 to 55 minutes, until bubbly
-
okarol how do you feel about cooking with chicken livers
I never have done it except for turkey giblets in gravy.
Dirty rice has chicken liver?
Thanks for the King Ranch recipe. How many layers does it end up with?
-
depends on the size pan you use
but in a 9 by 13 it is two
I like to use a smaller pan than the recipes requires
my family like the corn tortillas in it
it does not matter whatever you like
I will post the dirty rice recipe
you can use susasage or lean hamburger meat instead of livers or gizzards
but that does give it kind of a wild taste
my family eats it either way :cheer:
-
Dirty Rice Recipe
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
3/4 c regular rice
3 tbs margarine or butter
3 tbs all purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt ( I do not use this)
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
l pound chicken livers -- ( or hamburger meat or ground turkey or sausage - you may not like the wild taste of livers)
1 (3 ounce) can of mushrooms - sliced
combine the first two ingredients in saucepan, bring to boil, cover and cook per rice directions, melt butter, stir in flour
cook and stir until brown
stir in onions, celery, green pepper, garlic powder and cayenne, cook until onion is tender
coarsely chop livers
stir liver and undrained mushrooms into the onion mixture
cover and cook over low heat
about 6-8 minutes
stir often
fold liver mixture into hot rice
the liver gives it the "dirty " rice taste
but I have used other meats - cook & drain meats before you start recipe
my husband likes Jimmy Dean hot sausage in it
-
mashed potatoes no gravy
lima beans
and lemonaide

stuffed bell peppers tonight, they're in the slow cooker as we "speak" and the house smells yummy!
-
please, I have to have that recipe
my son and husband love stuffed bell peppers and the slow cooker--- even better
please post it
thanks
and my son and husband thank you also
-
:bow; your wish is my command
slow cooker stuffed peppers:
1 package (7 ounces) spanish rice mix
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup diced celery
1 small onion, chopped
1 egg
4 medium green bell peppers, halved lengthwise, cored and seeded
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes, undrained
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup
1 cup water
set aside seasoning packed from rice. combine beef, rice mix, celery, onion and egg in large bowl. divide meat mixture evenly among pepper halves.
pour tomatoes with juice into slow cooker, arrange filled pepper halves on top of tomatoes. combine tomato soup, water and reserved rice mix seasoning packet in large bowl. pour over peppers
cover: cook on low 8 to 10 hours.
(changes i make, i just can't leave a recipe alone): i mix the seasoning in with the meat mixture. i use chopped tomatoes instead of whole. i add chopped chili's. i use a little chili powder in the tomato soup mixture. i also leave the peppers whole and stand them upright in the crock. depending on how mushy you want your peppers you might not want to let it cook 8 hours and certainly not 10.)
let me know how your husband and son like them. :waving;
-
thanks so much
if I felt like going to the store
I would cook them tonight
I would also use chopped toms
sounds so yummy
I think I will make it the Sunday after Thanksgiving
everyone should be tired of smoked turkey by then ;D
-
Stuffed bell peppers in the slow cooker! That sounds yummy. I will have to try those this week.
-
Wally and I had this for supper tonight.

he will not be back until 5pm :rofl;

Well, I'm cooking with no recipe in mind, just making it up as I go along. I took a pound of best quality all-natural, no antibiotics, extra lean, ground beef, sauteed it with a tablespoon of Pataks mild curry paste, onions, garlic and freshly grated ginger added some diced red peppers, a diced fresh tomato, 4 finely chopped Chinese eggplants (they cook down and make the sauce). I was going to add zucchini but I think I'll add some okra (I but it frozen) at the end instead. I'm going to cook some extra aged basmati rice (especially nice nutty flavour) to have with it tonight but I made lots so I'll mix leftover rice with the beef mixture and maybe some corn and bake it like a casserole for during the week. It may evolve a bit differently if I find anything else that needs to be used up.
Fresh organic raspberries with lime sherbert for dessert I'm thinking. I buy the lime sherbert but what I really like to do is scrub a fresh lime and sprinkle finely grated lime zest on top.
I wish I could cook like I used to without worrying about renal taboos.
-
I fixing smoothered pork chops, mashed potatoes and spinach
Tomorrow I am making Len one of he's favorites, Manicotti

Twirl,
We used the left-over turkey to make green chili enchiladas! Much better than eating turkey for breakfast, turkey for lunch, and turkey for dinner... I also like to make turkey and noodle soup.
We are having mystery dinner tonight. Katie, one of the "roomates", is making dinner. Don't know what the heck it is! Hope it is good.
-

My daughter went to see the Nutcracker tonight with her grandmother, so I took my son out for pizza. I had 4 pieces. Not the healthiest choice, but when I saw it, it was the first time I have been hungry in over a month and the most I have eaten in a long time. My son even said, "Wow, you ate Daddy!"
:yahoo;
-
I finally gave in and stopped at Boston Market, got a baked ham dinner..ham had apple and cranberry chutney, mashed potatoes, gravy and squash casserole and binders. :rofl;
-
A beautiful rare steak, peas and corn, salad, baked potato (but not for me), soda water with lime. I'm saving dessert for later...two chocolate dipped cookies.

Tonight is cheeseburger night :) I haven't had one in a while so what the heck.... besides, I surely do not feel like cooking after that Cowboys loss lastnight! What a heartbreaker! :puke;
-
Not hungry again tonight :(
They were asking about my albumin level being funky and were wondering if I was eating. Seems I am only good for one light meal a day. I crave fruit.

Green onion, parmesan and cream cheese omelet with Persian flatbread. Salad with homemade balsamic vinaigrette. No dessert.
Big lunch out with three of my girlfriends tomorrow. Haven't yet decided where.
-
I am meeting 5 women friends for a little Christmas dinner tonight - at a Thai restaurant! I can't wait!
-
It's a big week! I am going out to lunch on Thursday with a bunch of women friends from work.
The traditional started in 2004 when my students gave me a gift certificate for a nice restaurant/martini bar in Williamsburg for my 50th birthday (this is one perk of having grad students as opposed to 5th graders). I decided it would be fun to share it with friends, so I volunteered to buy the martinis as a way to convince them that it would be okay to take one afternoon off from work for FUN. We went for lunch, I drank my first martinis, and we laughed and laughed and laughed. Actually I drank one martini too many... I was afraid that might happen, so I had rented a car and a driver! After lunch the driver took us to a bridal shop where my friend Debbie had an appointment to pick out a wedding veil to go with her dress. I'm not kidding. Try to imagine five women, ranging in age from 35 to 60, trying on wedding veils for an hour. Actually, since I eloped, it was my first time ever to try on a wedding veil.
The group has grown to 11. The owner of the martini bar went to jail for embezzlement, so that place is out. We're going to a French restaurant instead.
:wine;
-
Sounds superbe. I'm still chuckling over the wedding veil. And the elopement. I had 5 people at my wedding, including us and we went in the wrong door at City Hall so had to run the gauntlet of hookers and pimps and the like who were there for court cases.
Shame about the embezzlement but I'm sure you'll all have fun at the French restaurant. Bon appétit.
-
I had a "Texas burger" delivered last nite with a side of onion rings and a slice of cheese cake. That was my excitement for a Friday nite...Boxman
-
I took my girlfriend out for dinner for her birthday last night. I had a salad to start with, she had lobster/shrimp bisque. Then we each had a broiled fillet of red snapper with lemon thyme butter, steamed baby carrots, green beans and baby beets and a "galette" (like a small flat cake) of mashed potatoes that were pressed into black sesame seeds and lightly pan fried till crisp on each side.
For dessert we shared a Tiramisu and had espresso macciatos as well. I skipped lunch yesterday and breakfast today to do it. Was well worth it.
-
pelagia, that sounds like fun.
I haven't got a clue for dinner. I haven't gone shopping, so it looks like Mother Hubbard's cupboard around here. Bleah.
-

Sorry guys, tamales are gone! For our first attempt they were actually pretty good. We all chipped in and had an assembly line going on Christmas Eve. The nephews filled the tamales with meat. We probably should have supervised a little better because they were very stingy on the pork filling! But it was a lot of fun and a great way to get the family together. I hope my sister hosts it again next year.
Tonight we had cheeseburgers with tomato and mozzarella salad. It was hubby's birthday so he planned the menu.
We are going to the movies later and will enjoy some sinfully butter laden popcorn too. Then, it is time to slow down and eat healthy to lose some of this weight I put on. Ugh! When I look at the scale I wanna :puke;.

Hmmm - sounds like a good candy recipe, cherpep. I've got all the ingredients here. I was wondering what to take for dessert for the last family get together this Saturday - I think I'll make some of those to go with the truffles I've already got planned.
Today is my stay home and cook ahead day. I'm making burritos, coffee cake, two different kinds of homemade soups, as well as cookies and candy for the party. Then I tuck small batches of everything in the freezer for later. I don't know what I'm having for supper, but I'm betting it will be a little of every thing!
-
I'm making soup, too. Beef and every vegetable in the frig... I had my black-eyed peas for lunch (traditional for New Year's in this part of the world).

Can I come mooch some food?
-
Yup, what do you want, kit? potato, ham and cheddar soup with veggies? chicken noodle soup with egg noodles? The Buckeyes are done; there's a cream cheese and cherry coffee cake in the oven, and the 2 pans of burritos are rolled and ready to be the main dish at the family party on Saturday. All I'll have to do is tuck them in the oven to heat them up and melt the cheese. I haven't finished the truffles yet, but I'm working on them. They are chilling right now before I start rolling them in toppings. I'm thinking about making a peach cobbler yet for the party as well, instead of cookies. It's healthier if there's fruit in it, right?
At any rate, I have a freezer full of well-stuffed little tubbies for the days I don't feel like cooking anything.

All I'll have to do is tuck them in the oven to heat them up and melt the cheese. I haven't finished the truffles yet, but I'm working on them. They are chilling right now before I start rolling them in toppings. I'm thinking about making a peach cobbler yet for the party as well, instead of cookies. It's healthier if there's fruit in it, right?
At any rate, I have a freezer full of well-stuffed little tubbies for the days I don't feel like cooking anything.
Everything sounds really delicious! I already have cheddar, potatoes and broccoli. What's the recipe for the soup?
-
Oh yesss! Too bad Michigan is in the northern part of the UNited States and you have snow! Or I would be there with bells on!
-
yummmm the soups sound sooo good! I made Italian Stew the other night. It was delicious! Would love to have some of yall's soup and stew recipes!
Tonight we had catfish, chips (fries) and hush puppies. I didn't eat much though.... carbs carbs and more carbs!
(My brother made it and had alot so they brought it to us)
-
Recipe? Ummmm. . . .
My potato cheddar goes something like this - boil the taters in water with soup base added in the biggest pot. Use stock if you've got it, or ready made broth if you don't. When the potatoes are boneless, chop up some onion, some ham, and whatever else you have on hand - left over bacon bits, etc. Stop adding stuff when the pot gets full. Add some pepper, a dash of garlic, and when it all starts to boil again, add some milk and a handful of shredded cheese. Thicken it up with whatever you have on hand - instant mashed potato flakes work well and can be added directly. If you use flour or cornstarch, scoop out a bit of broth, whip in the thickener before stirring back into the pot.
My parents owned a restaurant, and I cook the way my dad taught me - I cook and bake a lot by just adding things in approximate proportions until the texture looks right and it tastes right. The results are good - the recipes are iffy!
The burritos were a hit at the family party. Nothing like dragging out an old family favorite to make everyone happy!

Yum, that sounds easy enough, except what are boneless potatoes?
Donnia - I make my beef veggie soup in a pressure cooker, but you can do in a regular pot if you don't have a pressure cooker. I am also very much a "little of this, little of that" kind of cook (and it took me many years to learn how to bake...)
Beef vegetable soup
Cook meat and make the broth:
1-2 lbs beef (stew beef, chuck roast; I also like to use some beef bones if I can find them or oxtails if the price is reasonable)
1 c. finely diced carrot
1 c. finely diced onion
1 c. finely diced celery
garlic to taste (I use an entire head, maybe 10-12 cloves; it mellows!)
1 bay leaf
canola oil
water or broth to cover meat and veggies
Cut meat into chunks, brown in hot pan with a little oil. Turn meat until it is nicely browned on all sides (don't
overcrowd pan, cook in batches if necessary). Remove browned meat to plate.
Add a small amount of broth or water to pan and bring to a boil. You want to get the browned beef bits up off the bottom on the pan without evaporating all of the liquid. Add meat back to pan, add veggies, garlic and bay leaf. Cover with water (or broth if you have it) and bring water level to about 1" above meat and veggies. At this point I put the cover on the pressure cooker, bring it up to pressure and cook for 20 minutes. the pressure cooker really keeps the flavors in the pot. Without the pressure cooker you will need to simmer until the meat is just getting tender (probably will take a couple of hours). Don't worry about the veggies disintegrating - you are trying to extract every bit of flavor from them.
Make the soup by adding:
3-4 c. assorted sliced or chopped veggies
water - probably at least 2 cups (use judgment based on how thick you want the broth to be)
dry or fresh herbs (I add thyme; we also like Mrs. Dash)
When meat is tender strain the broth to remove the first "flavoring" vegetables or just leave them in. Add soup veggies that you like, such as carrots, green beans, corn, zucchini. If tomatoes or potatoes aren't an issue, those work well, too. Simmer until vegetables are tender (30-45 minutes; depending on how you cut them). For the last batch I made, I added canned diced tomatoes, but no potatoes, and served it over pasta that I cooked separately. We sprinkled parmesan cheese on top before eating. Salt at table or while cooking depending on dietary requirements.
-
My hubby can make killer one pot wonder beef stew!
-
My daughter got a new Cool Daddy for xmas, so tonight we had fried flounder, hush puppies,
shredded potato tots, and cole slaw. It was delicious but I only ate a little, like Donnia carbs, carbs, carbs. The soup's sound great. We've got a ham bone, I think I will make a potful
tomorrow.

It all sounds so good. I had hamburger helper...Boxman

You can make soup/stew! It's not that hard. You can brown the meat in the oven if that's easier than watching the pot. Then just throw everything in the pot at once and simmer on stove until the meat is tender. It will taste good! Or, if you have a dutch oven, you can cook the entire thing in the oven on a lowish heat (325 F for a couple of hours). I would still try to get the meat browned first because you will get better flavor. :cuddle;
-
Thanks I will give it a go
-
boxman if you can make Yorkshire pudding you can make stews and soups :cuddle;
-
Yum, that sounds easy enough, except what are boneless potatoes?
Ooops, sorry - my Dad's term for when the potatoes didn't have any give left to them when you stuck a fork in them. Basically, it means cooked through, almost soft enough to mash them.
-
Tonight I am making Brocolli and Fettucini Alfredo. For dessert its a fruit tart from the bakery section !
-
Chinese wonton soup, then off the the gym.
-
Homemade hamburger fried rice with sugar snaps, carrots and peas. Spicy Chinese garlic, ginger eggplant with fresh basil. Lime sorbet and apple slices for dessert.
-

Yummmy!!! Coorsbob - I'm a Filipina but can't speak Tagalog fluent. Grew up in America. But can really cook some Filipino foods. My Lola and Nanay taught me well.
-
Yeah my wife spoils me with fresh home made lumpia's alot. If we have a gathering in northern California sometime I know what I will bring!
Still trying to learn the Tagalog here as my wife and son speak it fluently.I just pick up a word or two here and there is all. :banghead;
-
what the heck is a lumpia
-
Tonight, a small steak I have to eat before it goes bad. Wonder if Bailey's is a good marinate ??? Well that does go in my Nepro tonight along with whipped cream from a can
-
what the heck is a lumpia
Oh twirl. You have got to try lumpia, it is filled with ground pork, minced onion, carrots, and spices with the mixture held together by beaten egg. It may sometimes contain green peas. I can eat a half a dozen of them. Oh yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy.
-
is it an egg roll
or a spring egg roll
oh, could willie and winnie look any more glamorous
-

Lumpia is different from a spring roll or an egg roll- I think better- they are one of my favorite foods in all the world!!! I like banana lumpia too- its dessert!

OMG! This picture of Lumpias is making me very HUNGRY!!! Twirl - Lumpia is similar to spring rolls. One of the great foods of the Philippines. They are so good. I just hate wrapping and rolling. Kills my back.

We call the banana wrapped in lumpia wrappers Taron.
-
W&W if I could, I would eat that whole plate! The first time my sister-in-law made those, I was in heaven! I love those and pansit (sp?), adobo, afritada, and there's some desert thing called hallo hallo? I love Filipino food!
-
I had Vietnamese spring rolls (filled with minced pork, veggies and clear noodles) on top of rice vermicelli and mixed in with freshly shredded cabbage and carrot and lots of fresh cilantro, mint and thai basil. One of my favorite meals of all time.
-
I am hoping to eat soon! I am working late on a Friday night... :stressed;
-
Thanks Monrein.. Now I am really drooling! Asian food is just my favorite!
Meanwhile, I had deer sausage tonight for dinner. I ate bambi! :'(
-
Tonight's dinner for me was half of my husband's Stromboli.
-
tonight i really don't care as long as someone else does the cooking.
-
I made tons of Jimmy Dean cheese, sausage balls and my husband called me from his basketball tournament and wanted to know what else I was going to cook for dinner - so it is eggs over easy and plenty of sausage balls and then I have to make a ton of those walnut cookies so guess what he will have for dessert
I will eat a protein shake with strawberries sounds good but they are getting a little pukey to me
-
OK twirl, what is a Jimmy Dean Cheese Sausage Ball? Sounds pretty good. Hows your weight loss going? :cuddle;
-
sent you a pm
you use cheese. bisquick, and sausage and mix and roll into balls and bake and they are sooooo good
I always use sharp cheddar cheese - shredded and hot Jimmy Dean suasage
you would love them and they smell so good when cooking
will send more detailed recipe if you are interested
your husband will love you more and more with each sausage ball eaten
thank goodness, between my son and husband and daughters there are hardly any sitting around waiting for me
-
Oh please send it twirl. Len said it really sounds good. Would it still turn our alright without the hot sausage (he can't have spicy)? Thanks :cuddle;
-
yes, you can use any sausage but use the kind that comes in a roll
will send the recipe soon and use any shredded cheese --- mild or sharp
is that an oil painting of willie and winnie
I love it
-
Thanks twirl. No, it's not an oil painting. I've been playing with some photo software I got for Christmas and can do some really weird stuff. :cuddle;
I threw a chuck roast into a pan with some celery, onion, carrots, mushrooms and potatoes. They are calling for thunderstorms here this afternoon and then next Friday the high of 26. I'm not going to like this. :o
-
I went to Moe's (think Mexican Subway) and had 2 soft chicken and black bean tacos...mmm...tacos.
http://www.moes.com/menu.aspx
-
Grilled chicken and salad. Dessert smores outside on the fire ring. I feel like a little girl scout again.
-
I had 1/2 a hamburger at Fuddrucker's and 1/2 of an ohhh so chocolatey milk shake. Now where did I put that insulin?
Twirl, I want the recipe for the sausage balls too! It sounds like something my hubby would LOVE.
-
Lunch was a carne asada burrito with rice, no beans and a diet coke. It was good. It fell apart when I added the salsa but was good anyway eaten with a fork.
-

-
Dinner last nite was fruit,veggies,little meat sandwiches on dinner rolls,desserts all left over from my Uncles funeral. The caterer was really good...Boxman

Dinner tonight was warm from the oven pound cake, topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Hmm. . guess I skipped dinner and went right to dessert.
-

-
Olive Garden soup and salad with breadsticks. We were moderate today.
-
Inspired by jbeany's recipe, I made potato soup. Yum! It has potatoes, cream, cheese and broccoli, bacon and smoked salmon. I don't usually make anything that rich, but it was the perfect soup for a cold night.
-
you put smoke salmon in your potato soup ???
-
why not?
-
why not?
Yum!!
-
Homemade shrimp stir fry and rice.
-
Lunch was a Carls Jr superstar burger no onions wrapped in lettuce instead of bun and half the onion rings.
-
Kitchen night, tonight. Time to cook meals ahead. Working on burger that will be made into taco/nacho meat and a pot of chili. The pot full of potatoes will become potato salad and potato soup with ham and cheese. While I've got the cheese grated and the ham chopped, I'm going to put in a batch of ham-filled biscuits. Now I just have to decide on desserts. I've got to take a plateful of sweets to a party in 2 weeks, so I've been making cookies ahead and freezing them as well. I might make up some caramels for a practice batch as well. I'm doing a craft show in 2 weeks, and I was thinking about making some fudge and caramels to sell.
Anybody hungry? I'm cooking enough for everyone!
-
I'm ready...tell me how much money to send.
-
I am so hungry
Yes please
:bow;
-
I'm ready...tell me how much money to send.
Guests don't pay at my house - I just make 'em do the dishes!
-
I love doing dishes....
-

Thats my kind of meal! Or at least lately that is. Weather is Rainny so I just get lazy and dont cook. :oops;
-
Tuna salad. I made it with romaine lettuce, cucumber, carrots and celery. Tuna and caesar dressing, too.
-
I made paprika chicken in the crock pot with scalloped potatoes (from a box) hee hee and asparagus.

Vietnamese spring rolls on top of thin vermicelli noodles mixed with fresh bean sprouts, and lots of fresh that basil, mint and cilantro. Side order of cold fresh shrimp rolls with a hoisin dipping sauce.
-
Homemade burgers of antibiotic-free, organic lean beef on Kaiser rolls. Fresh onion and tomato salsa. Side salad of belgian endives and Mache with homemade tarragon vinaigrette. I'll also eat a half a red bell pepper cut in strips. Fresh sliced mango and raspberries for dessert. Then I'll be stuffed to bursting.
-

recipe required I guess this time I could use boxed potatoes :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
Twirl, it requires a German seasoning packet. I will look in my cupboard to see if I have another. If I do, I'll send it. Only problem is it is high in sodium.
Tonight: chicken burritos! yum
last night's late night snack: rice krispy treats
-
we call rice krispie treats
krispie critters --- not sure why
my husbands loves them
I tried to trick him once and told him store bought ones were homemade
he knew I was not being honest
-
I love them and hubby loves them more. He bribed me into making them around 10:00 last night.
-

and he thinks they are hard to make
you do get sticky

Ever make them with cocoa rice krispies and a touch of almond flavouring? (I use only very little butter and a third less marshmallows but put cling wrap in the pan so they won't stick to everything.)
-
yes to the cocoa
just use cocoa krispies
also
I make them and dip them in choc or white choc
but I have to owe my husband a big favor for making them "gourmet"
I use all the marshmellows and all the butter in the recipe and then I butter my hands so I do not stick to the "critters"
-
I'm not joking when I say that prednisone makes me ravenous. So, with my way, I can eat twice as many for the same calories, and that works best for me. I do use the cocoa krispies. Sometimes I just make a one cup serving in the microwave because the more I make, the more I'll want to eat. I watch sugar very closely too, just as closely as fat, although if left to my own devices I would eat an entire can of sweetened condensed milk with chopped up fresh coconut. That was a great comfort to me as a kid.
When I had my transplant they told me that many people gain 50 or more pounds post-transplant, mainly due to prednisone and loosened restrictions. I've gained only about ten pounds since I was 26 and first started D but it has not been easy. Worth it though, in my opinion.
-
I did really not gain weight after the transplant. I already had the extra weight! :rofl;
-
How about making ME some and shipping them here?
-
How about making ME some and shipping them here?
I have some in the freezer now that I made yesterday

I need some idea for supper?
I AM SICK OF COOKNG

-
how about -
corn dogs -
hot dogs -
chili dogs -
dogs in a blanket
(keeping in theme with w&w) ;D
-
Tonight was impromptu chili over half a baked potato. No recipe at all, just went purely by eye and taste. It involved ground beef (85% lean), tomato paste, vegetable broth base (couldn't find my beef base), onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, California chile powder, cumin, and canned hatch chiles. Poured it into a bowl over a leftover reheated half baked potato that I had massacred with a fork.
Just added a Fosrenol tablet to my three Renvelas with each meal, too.
-
the good thing about doing most the cooking for a super bowl party is that I was :sir ken; :sir ken; too tired to eat
that worked out great
I put on nothing over the weekend
but, geeze, I am tired :sir ken;
-
solids from a small order of won ton soup
will strain and freeze the broth for when I have to have only liquids
fresh cherries
hot tea
husband--- will have- chicken with rice and picante sauce, fresh corn, and salad and garlic bread

chicken stuffed with boursin cheese and roasted red peppers, rolls, and tomato mozarella salad, coffee with a hint of chocolate syrup for desert.. mmmm
-
Lately I've been in the mood for breakfast for dinner. Tonight I had an egg and sausage burrito: some breakfast sausage crumbled and browned, with the remains of a can of chopped Hatch green chiles added, then eggs scrambled in. The went onto a flame-kissed (literally) tortilla, got some salsa verde over the top, then rolled up. I'm getting better at burrito rolling.
-

Before you all scream: Breakfast 1 container yogurt Lunch: small apple
Let the screaming begin! :yahoo;

We made beef stew in the crock pot with some corn bread to go with it.
I had a big glass of ice water and a banana nut cupcake.

Fruit salad - grapes, kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. I made it when I got home from shopping, thinking I would have it for dessert, but it looked so good, I skipped dinner and had a big bowl of fruit instead.

OMG how do you make homemade won ton soup -- do you put roast pork in it

-
I think Asian is hard to master unless you have an Asian market nearby. Are there any easy recipes you can share?
-
this is by Twirl-monrien ( a healthier version for me ) :cheer:
small salad with very little dressing----- like hardly any - just enough to barely see it
baked tiliapia fillets -- my husband's will be fried --- mine baked with some lemon juice and pepper
French fries for my husband --- cooking is the only thing I will do to these fries --- none for me
broc and cheese for my husband ---- plain steam broc for me
krispie critters dipped in choc for my husband and a krispie with fresh strawberries for me
(krispie treats made with less margarine-- they are a little harder to get to stick together but it did work)
can you tell my husband is not a fruit and veg eater?
:waving;
-
chicken fajitas, no cheese, no avocado, and just a taste of sour cream. but still pretty good.

thanks twirl. but there are days i'd much rather have what you're having. especially if you do the cooking! when is dinner? i could be there in about 10 hours. after all texas is just down stream! :rofl;
-
Cooking night again tonight - make ahead meals I have planned - chili, taco meat for taco salad and tacos, chicken noodle soup, creamy chicken casserole, and a few extra grilled breasts for chicken sandwiches. I might dice it all, and just do chicken salad sandwiches, since I have pita pockets. Haven't decided on desserts yet - I'm thinking of using some leftover wild plum jam to make a batch of sweet bread - kind of like banana bread, only with less potassium.
-
We went to our usual Japanese restaurant (run by a Korean family) with Kathy. I had a dragon roll (shrimp tempura, bits of avocado and fish roe) and a spicy crab roll. Then as a special pre-transplant surprise treat the owner ,Sook Shim, who is always giving me stuff on the house, sent over an entire red snapper that had been deep fried first, then set on a bed of sweet and sour veggies and fruit. It was beautiful to look at, equally delicious to eat and really heart-warming for all of us.

to make homemade wonton soup I have to admit I use store bought wonton wrappers but I fill them with ground pork or sometimes shrimp and a mixture of seasonings (five spice powder) some finely chopped water chestnuts, green onions, wrap them freeze them on a cookie sheet and use bullion or chicken stock to make the shoup base depneds on what I have, par boil the wontons 3 minutes before freezing then after they are frozen put them in ziplock to add to soup with what ever leafy veggie you like (spinich, green onion, bean sprouts, bok choy, etc. in broth and add frozen wontons boil softly 10 min and enjoy works great and easy to make....

Impossible cheeseburger pie. Remember that? My mom used to make it all the time. I'm having comfort food flashbacks!
-
A salad of watercress and frisee lettuce with two toasted walnut halves, a smidgeon of Stilton cheese, half a caramelized pear and a dijon vinaigrette to start. Next, roulade of duck breast served rare on a creamy mixture of diced potato, greens and wild mushrooms. Dessert was cinnamon panna cotta sitting on a bed of fine shredded wheat (there's a name for that stuff but I forget what it is) with a compote of winter fruits and a drizzle of caramel sauce. I skipped coffee but started the meal with three Renagels.

I will 1/2 piece of chicken
no rice or gravy
small amount of peas
only blackberries
-
Cant you have a little rice and gravy? :-( Yum
Twirl recently i was in the store. (i do the shopping go figure)
And i was looking at Turkey vs regular bacon. Turkey bacon was higher in cholestoral and sodium.
Not sure if you were aware of this. it threw me to say the least. Thought Turkey would be better for me.
-
I do not want rice and gravy :waiting;
I do not even really like turkey bacon ------ I think it is spam-ish
got it because the dietitian at dialysis says it is better than real bacon
I am going to challenge her to prove it to me
real bacon is better tasting
-
Twirl,
I am coming over for dinner. Home made fried chicken sounds sooo goood! You make good stuff.
-
you have to bring your little doggies
my big cow dog is so afraid of the Yorkie next door
she crawled under the fence and was chasing Yogi all around
he was so afraid
he is a cow dog but I think he is a chicken dog
you make the best stuff
I can not wait to try your taco recipes with tators ---- 2 of my favorites together -
-
My little dogs have a big bark, but no bite. Yogi would probably find them annoying!
Tonight for dinner - Hubby made chicken quesadillas and we had left over beans and rice.
-
Small BBQ chicken pizza and a cheessteak with one or two mozzarella sticks.
Shared by two people.
-
my husband has a late track meet
:clap; :cheer: :rofl;
I am the only one home
lonely - but sometimes it is nice
I am having
hot tea, string cheese and mixed fresh berries
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
or nothing
-
shepherds pie
labs back last night, phos level is very low, was told i could adjust my binders or, OR eat some ice cream, cheese or drink some milk!!!!! how do you like them apples? i think i love nocturnal.
-
I always love how they say that. Gee, I can keep taking the same meds and be able to eat more of all the things I love and crave oooooorrrrr I can cut out half a tablet a meal. Ummmmm, lemme think. . . . :urcrazy;
Dinner tonight was exactly proportioned and renal friendly - I had homemade chicken noodle soup, with the broth drained, so it was both low sodium and low fluid and a full serving of veggies. I had a tangerine for dessert. I had a single ice cube and a 1/4 cup of water with it.
All right, I was good - now bring on the chocolate and the peanut butter!
-
I had chicken soup too! Made with fresh veggies from our local.. sort of farmer's market. Green beans, brussel sprouts, squash.. Yum.
Now I am with Jbeany.. Where is that peanut butter?
-
1/2 a burger from sonic -- Tues is 1/2 off reg burger days --- I wanted the 1.00 menu one but my husband got me the regular one- so I fed the other half to Yogi
and 1/2 a cup of ice tea
and nothing else
-
Mibarra
I want to come to your house for dinner tonight - I am feeling down -- I need a friend - who understands me ---- :(
-
jbeany....Thank YOU...I love soups and get this, never thought of draining the broth...I could still get the taste...yahoo. :yahoo;
-
I leave enough to make all the ingredients juicy, and spoonful or two at the bottom of the bowl. It still tastes like homemade chicken noodle soup, but I don't end up with a fluid overload. When I make cream soups, I make the "broth" so thick it's more like stew, and add lots of meat and veggies. That's not as cheap as making a traditional soup, but it does help cut the cravings for a warm bowl of soup in the winter.
Tonight was sloppy joes and baby carrots, with a tangerine for dessert. My gram got a whole case of tangerines from the Angel Food Network, and they are the sweetest tangerines I've ever had. Yummy! Good thing they are small, and reasonably renal friendly because of their size.
-
Green chicken enchiladas, beans, salad. Now I need desert!
-
Spent 4 hours in the Houston airport and had bad airport food for dinner. That was after spending 2 hours in Atlanta and having bad airport food for lunch, too. BWAHHHHHHHHHH.
-
stuffed bell peppers
corn on cob
rolls -- for husband -- not me
cucumbers in vinegar
sugar with a little tea -- for husband --- unsweet tea for me with lemon
fresh berry short cake, with whipped cream --- only berries for me
-
Large Mandarin Orange chicken salad. Was it good!
-
Steak, potatoes, green salad, macaroni salad. My hubby is grilling the steak. Yumm.
-
A baked pasta casserole with big chunks of chicken breast,a little bit of diced fresh tomatoes and some broccoli, with a sauce of low-fat cream of chicken soup and a topping of chunky bread crumbs with parmesan cheese. My aunt made it for us and it was good but if I had concocted it I would have used whole wheat pasta and multigrain bread crumbs, just because now I can post-transplant and I don't usually like to eat "white" carbs. The good thing is she added no salt except what was in the soup and she diluted that with some low fat sour cream. I made an arugula salad to eat with it.
-
I'm at work right now, but at home I have a pot roast slowly cooking in the crockpot. I've been thinking about it all day. A couple of little red potatoes, some carrots, and some onion chunks. Mmmmmmmm... I can't wait to go home.
-
Cheese enchiladas, home made refried beans, and salad. I made them just for me because the husband does not like red enchiladas. He likes green. Too bad for him today!
-
you mean they come in colors?
-
Ha ha! Just red and green, usually.. Well there are mole enchiladas too and those are usually a rich brown color.
=)
-
mole? <gulp>
-
pronounced MOH - LAY -- a sauce made usually of peppers and unsweetened Mexican chocolate. It is delicious and usually served poured over chicken! Mmmm.. Now I am hungry for it! lol
-
ohhhhhhhh........... thanks MIb.......however I'm still not sure I can taste it...gulp is right Wenchie.
-
it is like a spicy chocolate sauce ?
the first time you see it -- well, it takes some getting used too
but I have never tasted it
I would if it had no choc in it
-
I love Mole, the mexican dish not the burrowing blind critter, and my friend Ilana has promised to make me some as a special treat now that I can eat it again. A good is fantastic but I've also had some nasty ones in Mexico. Ilana spends ages making hers and the flavours are complex and layered. The choc isn't sweet.
-
Chicken salad roll ups - if I have enough ambition to cook the chicken and make the salad - otherwise, leftovers it is!
-
chicken salad roll ups
recipe please
-
Well, it's not much of a recipe, twirl. It's chicken salad rolled up in a taco shell - I don't eat much bread, so I haven't got any in the house to make a sandwich.
My version of chicken salad is, as usual, whatever I've got in the fridge. Today that means diced chicken, mayo, pepper, parsley, a dash of mustard, diced onion, and diced cucumber (since I'm out of celery).
Layer the taco shell with lettuce, add a dollop of chicken salad, roll tight and hold shut with a toothpick, and enjoy. I like to toast the taco shell in the toaster oven for a minute before I make a roll-up out of it. Gives it better texture.
-
by taco shell do you mean a tortilla ?
the recipes sounds good to me
call Taco Bell :cheer:
-

You can see the ingredients of a typical mole sauce here http://www.sweatnspice.com/recipes/Mole_Sauce_Recipe.php
Hey twirl - was it you that had a recipe using cornmeal? I went and bought some quite a while ago and I cannot remember what I was going to make with it. Spoon bread? No. I dunno. Let me know if you recall what I am talking about.
-
by taco shell do you mean a tortilla ?
the recipes sounds good to me
call Taco Bell :cheer:
Yup, I mean a tortilla.
- I don't know if Taco Bell wants any of my recipes - not enough grease!
I had a blast of inspiration - instead of the cuke, I diced up a green apple for some crunch in the chicken salad. Yummmmmm!
-
mmm sounds good...I also had chicken salad once with diced green grapes.
-
a friend of mine makes her chicken salad with pineapple and pecans
yummo

I had Clean out the Fridge Chicken Soup for lunch today. I made it last night in the crockpot before I went to bed and cooked it all night. Hubby and I really liked it. I picked through the fridge for veggies and threw everything I had to use up in the pot. Then threw in some spices, 1/2 a shredded up rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, and some hot sauce.
Twirl,
Mole is spicy.. It does not taste like a candy bar or anything like that. The chocolate is unsweetened and mexican chocolate has cinamoon in it. My aunt (who has now passed) used to make an incredible mole! She was from Oaxaca and they are very well known for this dish and the chocolate.
-
I want to come eat with you
your toss together pot luck clean out fridge meals sound so yummy
and could your doggies eat at the table with their company
-
i love clean out the fridge soup. i've done that for years. and yes anything and everything goes into it, it's always yummy and never tastes the same twice.
-
Twirl... we will have to get together for lunch this summer!
And the doggies could sit and watch us eat at the table, but they can't have any snacks. They're horribly allergic it seems to everything. I think I am going to have to take my bigger Yorkie to see a veterinary dermatology specialist. She is getting so bad and I hate to keep giving her prednisone since I know what it does the body.
I have no ideas for dinner tonight... Any suggestions? I am tempted to run through a drive thru of sorts.
-
if you are going to "run" through a drive thru -- think of all the calories you will burn and order something
yummy
-
I love soup, soup sounds good.
But tonight I am going to make meat balls in red chili on top of mash patatos. Being from New Mexico I eat a lot of chili, green chili, red chili, chili chili chili. Yummy!
-
I made broccoli and cheese cornbread for my husband - a double batch
tomorrow they are having a cook-off at Peet ( a junior high school )
he could enter cornbread or chili
we are out of venison so I made cornbread -
would have loved to do jalapeno cornbread but every teacher does that -
this is in the right section because MandaMe 1986 was posting about chili :waiting;
-
Twirl can I have that broccoli and cheese cornbread recipe? I have never heard of putting broccoli in cornbread. That sounds really good, I have made broccoli and cheese biscuts before, they came out pretty yummy.
-
the recipes is sooooo good
and as quickly as my husband gets home
I will print it and post it here
thanks for asking
broc - cheese bisquits --- recipe please
-
I love soup, soup sounds good.
But tonight I am going to make meat balls in red chili on top of mash patatos. Being from New Mexico I eat a lot of chili, green chili, red chili, chili chili chili. Yummy!
Oh boy! I love NM and try to visit every year - green chile on everything! Yum! I would love your Meatball/red chili recipe!
-
CHEDDAR CHEESE BISCUITS
4 cups bisquick baking mix
1 and 1/3 cup milk
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup of chopped frozen and thawed broccoli
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Heat oven to 450. Mix baking mix, milk, broccoli & cheese until a soft dough forms; beat vigorously for 30 seconds. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto an ungreased cooking sheet. Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Mix butter & garlic powder. Brush garlic mixture over warm biscuits before removing from cookie sheet. Serve warm. Makes 24.
-
OK now for my meatball and chili recipe that is a little diffrent. Cause it is off the top of my head.
Meat Balls
1 1/2 lb ground meat (I usually use lean hamburger or turkey)
garlic
a pinch of sea salt
black pepper
onion powder
3 eggs
and about 1 1/2 of oatmeal or plain bread crumbs, or crushed crackers. It all depends on what I have on-hand.
Chili
Red Chili pods seeds and stems removed. Soak in water until soft. Fill blender about 3/4 full add 1 table spoon of garlic, and 2 table spoons of veggie oil. Add water and blend. How much water usually depends on how thin you want your chili so add as you go.
Mix meatball mixture and form in to balls and cook. Heat up chili in a pot or crockpot while cooking meatballs. Then place meatballs in chili and simmer for about 20 mins. Longer if you have time. I have been know to leave them in a crockpot for a few hours.
Anyone needs some Chili pods I am more then happy to send ya some!
Sorry if the recpie is a little lose. I kinda made it up haha. I also made up a red chili enchilada pizza! Haha yummy.
-
so you place chili with meatballs on mashed potatoes and then you get to eat broc & cheese biscuits
--- :2thumbsup;
one of Stasie's ex boy friend's family used to serve you a hard boiled egg with your spaghetti -
???
red enchilada pizza --- sounds good --- do you use masa for the crust --- we like barbecue chicken pizza
I googled cornbread recipes and found cornbread with cranberries --- husband wants to try it :o
-
I bet cornbread with cranberries is pretty good. Let me know how you like it. And no I use pizza dough. It is pretty good. And yes I like me some red chili so I figured what the hell lets try it. And we loved it, so I keep making it. haha :clap;
-
Miss Twirl where is the broccoli and cheese cornbread recipe? I have been wanting to make it for 2 days. Haha. It sounds sooooo goood!
-
I fixed some perch, cheesy potatoes and green beans. I wish it had a been a pizza. ::)

Chinese wonton soup and a chinese mish mash crate of food.
-
Broccoli and Cheese Cornbread
4 eggs
1/2 butter or margarine melted - not hot
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 (8.5 ) ounce package cornbread or muffin mix
1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli - thawed and drained --- I get the chopped into small pieces broccoli
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese -- I use sharp
1 onion - chopped - I used half an onion --- so my husband does not notice the onions as much
the last time I doubled it I added the salt doubled
and I think it tasted a little salty
everyone liked it
I am used to adding no salt
but I was afraid the cornbread would not rise
it got "honorable mention" at my husband's school
there were at lease 50 pans of all kinds of cornbread
in a bowl, combine eggs, butter and salt
stir in corn bread mix until just blended
stir in remaining ingredients
pour into greased 11-7-2 pan
bake at 350 for 30 - 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center come out clean
slice and serve
I usually double the recipe and put in into a greased 13 X 9 pan
this is so good
-
Thank you Twirl :thumbup; sounds really good. I think I am gonna make it tonight for dinner with a baked chicken. Yummy!
-
A stirfry of left over chicken, sugar snaps, carrots, red pepper, mushrooms, water chestnuts, onions, an egg, fresh ginger and garlic. I cut the ginger into little slivers and soak them in a half cup of water which I use as part of the sauce. I use Hoisin sauce mostly for the sauce (less salt than soy or oyster sauce) but also a half teaspoon of oyster sauce, a little sesame oil and a fair bit of thai chili sauce (again because it's relatively low in salt). I used rice noodles which I pre-soaked in warm water and added at the very end, tossing them in thoroughly with all the other stuff in the wok. I prefer using "cellophane" clear noodle threads made from yams but I didn't have any at home so substituted the rice noodles. I'm not sure how the cellophane noodles fit with a renal diet.
I sprinkled some raw but toasted by me, unsalted cashews on top but would avoid that if I were on D. We enjoyed it.

mmmmmmm Thank you WW
Could I use Frozen Blueberries? Fresh ones are about $6 for 250g at the moment. And is all-purpose flour Self-raising flour? :)
-
flour that you do not have to add salt and baking soda or baking powder I think
-
Ohh sounds good - what if you don't have the spring-form pan? Would it stick to a regular pan?
I'm not sure okarol, I have never tried it. Maybe spray some baking spray on pan. Let me know if you try it. :cuddle;
mmmmmmm Thank you WW

I have used frozen before, I let them thaw out and added a little extra flour. No all purpose flour is not self rising. Self rising has the baking baking powder or soda already in there. I don't think I would use it. :cuddle;
-
I didn't get to make the cornbread and chicken the other night. So that is that is what I am making tonight. With some mixed veggies.
Yummy...
And Willie that cake sounds really good, my boyfriend loves blueberry pie so i am gonna try and make it for him sometime next week. Thanks for sharing

I should not, repeat NOT have bought ham, even if it was drastically on sale! Tooooooooo much salt! I've been doing really well lately at eating mostly chicken and turkey, with a little lean red meat in the mix. I bought the ham because of the great prices at Easter- I try to watch the sales to make my food stamps stretch as far as possible, but I don't think this was worth it. I'm too thirsty! Ah, well, live, learn, and put most of it in the freezer to bring out a little at a time. I don't get as thirsty when it's cooked into something, so I'm making all kinds of casseroles and soups out of it.
Tonight, big surprise, I'm having a ham casserole!
-
Ohhhh...I love ham but sometimes get a headached...I think the salt..and get this...today I was told you need to eat more sodium or else we can give you a salt shot...I opted for hmmmm....french fries but forgot. :rofl;
-
I tried this recipe I found on-line for stuffed chicken breast with chedder and cream cheese and it was so good........ :waving;

You can come to my place for dinner, G-ma - I'll fix the low salt issue for you! How do you like your ham?

WW...are you going to share the stuffed chicken recipie???
JBeany...thanks..ham is great as long as it's not squealing :rofl;
Sure G-Ma
INGREDIENTS
oil, for greasing pan
8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 (8 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a large, shallow baking dish with oil.
Butterfly each breast by slicing in half horizontally through the center, cutting almost but not completely through. I pounded it out thinner. Place one slice each of Cheddar and cream cheese in the center of each breast. Close again as if placing between the pages of a book. Set aside.
Pour milk into a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Romano cheese. Carefully dip each breast first in milk, then in breadcrumb mixture, patting lightly to firmly coat. Place breasts side by side in a single layer in pre-oiled baking dish, tucking edges under to seal.
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in lemon juice and garlic, and drizzle evenly over chicken. Season breasts with garlic salt and paprika, if using.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until no longer pink in center and juices run clear.

Hey- that sounds really good. I will try it this weekend.

jbeany when I buy ham I always cut it in 2 pieces and put it in a big pot of water. I boil it and throw away the water. Fill up the pot again , boil it and throw away the water. I do that 3 or 4 times and it removes a lot of the salt.
-
Hmmm - sounds like a good idea, del. I try that with the ham I still have in the freezer. I pitched the last of the ham casserole I had made - much too salty! I hate to throw out good food, though - I don't have the budget to waste!

Homemade Belgian waffles. I even made my own strawberry topping, which was super easy, and had to be healthier than the store bought version. I topped the waffles with whipped cream and sprinkles of chopped up Hershey bar. I was feeding my friend and her two kids, so I was looking for something kid-friendly. The kids inhaled their food so fast, I think they teleported it into their tummies!
-
Wait.. I'm coming, Jbeany! Save one for me.
-
Me too
save 2 for me with extra topping
MIbarra can have my chocolate but I want extra strawberries :bow;
-
Oh, yes, please, everyone come! I used a different recipe for the waffle batter - my favorite one vanished when I thought I was moving and packed everything up. The recipe I used said it made three 9" waffles. My waffle iron isn't quite that big, but I figured with 4 of us to feed, I'd better double the recipe. It made 16 plate sized waffles! I took half a dozen next door, but I still have lots leftover!
-
MMMMMMM waaaaaffles ;)
-
WWWAAAAFFLES! Can you send me one please!
-
Count me in, jbeany! :clap;

The strawberry topping ran out. I made blueberry today!

How about a recipe? They sound sooooooooo good.
-
I just had pre packaged grits (sodium I bet) with a dab of smart balance. Then I ate two slices of apple. I need to find some protein now. I do need to change my eating habits.
Are Waffles protein?
Seriously, any protein additives you could put into things like waffles... or fudge... or brownies.
-
Waffles are not protein, they are mostly carbs/bread. There is a bit of protein from the eggs and milk, though. You could add protein powder to the mix, though. There's a thread on here that talked about the best protein powders. I'll see if I can find it and bump it.
Here's the waffle recipe I used - don't double it unless you have a dozen to feed!
2 eggs
2 cups flour - I used 1/2 all purpose and 1/2 whole wheat
1/2 cup melted butter
1 and 3/4 cup milk
1 tbsp brown sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt - I used only a pinch - they tasted fine.
Gotta have a waffle iron, of course. Don't forget to spray it. It you don't want to eat in shifts, as the waffles come off the iron, heat the oven to 300 and store the waffles on the rack until you are ready for everyone to sit down.
Topping - I didn't have a recipe for this, so the amounts are best guesses of how much I used.
1 bag of frozen fruit - blueberries, strawberries, or any mix you prefer.
1 cup sugar
1 cup apple juice
1 heaping tablespoon of cornstarch.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove and serve on waffles. Can be made ahead and served cold as well.
For best results, use spray cream on top of the berries. Yummy and pretty!

Matthew made some southern chili. Very good. Lots of tomato's, beans, and sodium. So of course it was good. Haha I am sticking to my two cups! (maybe >:D)
-
Ceasar salad and a baked chicken pasta dish.
-
I am making Green Chili Stew like at Pancho's
it is all I want to eat when we go there -
besides the rice, beans, pepper thing fried in eggs and the outside of the tamales
-
dietician last night a d told me to eat more. gotta go to the grocery I guess. the only thing that sounds good is Zach's Chili but it is too hot for chilie. what the heck, I've got AC.

Do you mean a Chili Reano?
-
yes for the battered pepper thing with white cheese in the middle
I bet crawford has been to Pancho's
-
Yummmmmm love those.....and you cant find a decent chili in Upstate NY to save your life!!
I learned to make them in Cali....then came home...damn!
-
Wenchie, if I can figure out a way to send ya some in the mail without them going bad come summer time I will send ya some chilis from my garden.
I made some a few weeks ago. They were very good!
-
yes for the battered pepper thing with white cheese in the middle
Is that like a jalepeno popper? ???
-
Crawford hasn't been to panchos in 40 years. I didn't know there were any still around. Crawford likes Pico's Mex Mex.
No, its not like a Jallapeno but it is a pepper... better, bigger and not very hot. Right Mandy? Usually stuff with something good. Poblano Peppers, right Mandy?
-
it is not as hot as a jalpeno pepper but so good
crawford --- Pancho's are still around -- I remember when Pancho's came to Bellaire -- it was so much fun to raise the flag
-
Yes indeed Dan!
I personally like to use the New Mexico Big Jim that is the first picture
But traditionally you use a Poblano pepper that is the second picture
-
We have a Pancho's here. Don't go very often though. I am a snob I think I can make it better.. :waiting;
-
it is the second picture
and they place cheese in it
and egg batter and fry it
darn, MandaMe - we went to New Mexico spring break a few years ago and there was snow and we loved it --- the Mexican food was different and not like Tex Mex -- which is what we are used too -
-
it is the second picture
and they place cheese in it
and egg batter and fry it
That is what they call here a jalepeno "popper" (not pepper). They are so good, (but not very good for you). :clap;
-
I have a really good batter if you want it Twirl. Yeah that is how we make them too.
Here we have a lot of New Mexican food. Its a tad bit diffrent then Mexican food. We don't cook as much with moles and stuff of that nature. And things tend to be a little spicier here. We use more peppers.
-
I do not get the mole thing ?
but I love spicy
we ate at a Mexican cafe across the way from the alien museum and it was so gooooood -
we went back again one other year
wish we would have known then -----
wow - I did dialysis in Durango Colorado and they treated their patients with such respect -
I kept thinking it was a dream
-

Poppers are jalepenos and bite sized. Reanos (sp) are bigger...you actually need a fork to eat them...and they are milder.....both types are OH SO yummy!!!!

Was it in Roswell? I can't think of an alien museum outside of Roswell. But yes if you make it down here to New Mexico again. You have to come on by so I can cook for ya!
And yes Wenchie both are so yummy! David it is a lot like a jalepeno popper. Good stuff!
-
the only panchos I knew was in belllaire. few blocks from my house. It close years ago.
There new mexico food, tex mex and california food. all different. but the Mex Mex here is more like continental food.
-
I love most Mexican food, but a chili relleno sucks rocks. Icky! Must be the I do not want green peppers on my plate thing I have.
-
That might have something to do with it KK! lol
-

No green peppers anywhere near my plate.

-
No green peppers anywhere near my plate.
Understood.

I can take the no coke but never the no green peppers

WW...are you going to share the stuffed chicken recipie???
JBeany...thanks..ham is great as long as it's not squealing :rofl;
Sure G-Ma
INGREDIENTS
oil, for greasing pan
8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 (8 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a large, shallow baking dish with oil.
Butterfly each breast by slicing in half horizontally through the center, cutting almost but not completely through. I pounded it out thinner. Place one slice each of Cheddar and cream cheese in the center of each breast. Close again as if placing between the pages of a book. Set aside.
Pour milk into a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Romano cheese. Carefully dip each breast first in milk, then in breadcrumb mixture, patting lightly to firmly coat. Place breasts side by side in a single layer in pre-oiled baking dish, tucking edges under to seal.
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in lemon juice and garlic, and drizzle evenly over chicken. Season breasts with garlic salt and paprika, if using.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until no longer pink in center and juices run clear.
I cooked this -this past weekend, it was excellent! I think I overcooked it a tad, but since my husband passed I keep burning things-(wtf - I have always been such a good cook!!) I found it to be easy to prepare, and we would cook it again. I am always happy to find things the kids will eat without complaints! Thankyou for this recipe WW!
-
Vietnamese cold chicken salad rolls and Thai mango salad with my own dry roasted (no salt, no oil) cashews. The rolls turned out a bit bigger than usual because I had too many filling items. (Poached chicken, slivered red peppers, bean sprouts, thin rice vermicelli, grated marinated carrots, fresh cilantro).
Not pictured is the peanut/hoisin/chili sauce dip.
-
Monrein, that looks delicious!
-
I am making Pepper Steak for Bubba and banana pudding - where I bake it and put meringue on the top -
two of his favorites
MandaMe - both recipes are simple and easy and it looks like you slaved for hours ha ha ha
he is home for a couple of weeks and then it is back to A&M for football and summer school where he is taking a Physics class that is five days a week for the entire summer school - he planned to take English also but with all the required reading - he decided to wait
- football will eat his lunch -- the hours are unbelievable
-
Twirl.... See my New Avitar.....
-
YES
and I am avoiding it, ignoring it, what would be great -- the crawfish with guns in his claws -
there was a restaurant on South Main with that -- Gaido's or something like that --
I was a Longhorn - but A&M wanted Bubba -- he is 6ft 4 inches and 280 lbs and he was too little for UT and UH
so I gave birth to an Aggie ----- I would have never thought
I still like you ---- ha ha
-
I remember Gaidos....
I live in Casper Wyoming for a year or so. There was a famous bar downtown who's motto was " show your gun at the door. If you don't have one we'll issue you one."

MandaMe1986
what did you eat for supper or lunch or brunch or anything on your 23rd birthday -
what kind of cake -
and did the pickle pops really have little pieces of pickles in them -
twirl
and what presents did you get
-
I had Le Madeline's with a very good friend. I had a petite cesar salad, a petite pasta salad, and a not so petite piece of tiramisu. Plus 3 glasses of their ice tea. Oops.. exceeded my fluid limit I'm sure and definitely my carb limit.
-
do you have a fluid restriction with a transplant >:(
-
Yeah, I think I'm the only one that could have managed that!
Last time I went to the neph, my sodium was low. He told me I was drowning myself. Slow down. So, I do... before blood work. >:D
I have been trying not to drink so much. The watermelon this time of year gets me though!
-
what is your limit and I do not count watermelon :waving;
-
I don't have any fluid restrictions with transplant. I try to keep drinking throughout the day but I limit my fluids ,besides water, to 2 coffees maximum, usually just one and 2 cups of tea (if I'm with my family who drink a lot of tea.) I don't drink sodas because I don't need the sugar or the aspartame and I do drink a glass of OJ with breakfast. I try to carry my stainless steel water bottle with me everywhere and fill it up regularly.

does buttermilk taste like ranch dressing -

no, but ranch dressing tastes a little like buttermilk.

Salmon and a green salad.
Anything go with it?
-
Do you like asparagus? A nice way to cook it is to rub it with olive oil and black pepper, roast in a single layer in the oven or toaster oven, watch closely and turn once then right near the end sprinkle with a little freshly grated parmesan cheese. (Not much though because of the salt....a quarter teaspoon on 6-8 spears of asparagus gives nice flavour.
I also like braised red cabbage, cooked with black pepper, balsamic vinegar and a touch of sugar.
-
how about a beer
tartar sauce
hush puppies
catsup
cole slaw
fries
:2thumbsup;
-
I love asparagus. One of the few vegetables I really like. I'll try it...gotta go to the groucery though. I have a really great piece of parmesean in the fridge. Was wondering if I could have it or not -- although I'm ok or low on salt, pot and phos. all so it should be fine.
Don't mind cabbage either but I want asparagus tonight.
-
:puke;
blech....I had asparagus once....must be a me thing.
-
And what renal diet are you on, Twirl. Hey, I found out there is controvery about the CREAM. Don't know what it is but my neph still uses it. One of the nurses last night told me that some had concerns about it. I'll find out Monday when I see Dr. O and tell you what he said. What's it called again? I need to look in up in my list of approved drugs.

EMLA cream (a topical anesthetic that numbs the skin and decreases the sensation of pain).
-
I harvested asparagus once in Wyoming.
-
does it have another name other than emla?
that's not listed in my approved lists.
-
crawfod are you having it for supper ? :rofl;
Lidocaine and Philocaine Cream 2.5%/2.5%
and my doc approves ---- Dr. Barry Neeland in Conroe, Texas
I love asparagus but I tried it grilled once and did not like it.
comment on the sides for your dinner - I thought you could eat anything you wanted.... I would not eat the fries -- well maybe 4 fries
-
It's just a lidocaine cream that numbs the needle sites..works great but I stopped using it when I started cannulating myself as no pain..I just gave my last 3 tubes to an older lady at D yesterday so I don't have the exact name of it.
-

that's not listed in my approved lists.
We are REALLY off topic here, but:
Generic Name: Lidocaine/Prilocaine Cream (LYE-doe-kane/PRIL-oh-kane)
Brand Name: EMLA
-
Sorry David...I just thought it was something made out of DW's asparagus :rofl;
-
I'm haveing Salmon and salad and I asked for a side suggest. I can eat anything I want this month but I'm not going to wild... I had hush puppies yesterday with buttermilk. Besides I like asparagus although my very favorite vegetable is french fries I admit.
Ok, I'm back on topic.
-
I'm going to fix a taco salad for tonight. Because we do NxStage it pulls lots of potassium off, so I use spinach for the greens, salt free blue taco chips and all the rest of the normal fixins. I'm already getting hungry.
Aleta

A jumbled mix of stuff tonight -- steak (that may have to be cooked on the griddle inside the kitchen due to rain) left over smashed potato salad, calabaza rebenada (squash filled with cheese, ham, onions and tomatoes) and some "Great Divide" provided by Blue Bunny. I can't wait. I'm starving!
-
is that like a stuffed squash or is it a casserole
so where is the recipe?
watermelon, watermelon and watermelon -- who needs anything else
-
watermelon, watermelon and watermelon -- who needs anything else
I'm with you on that one Twirl! Yummyness :clap;
-
Watermelon! I had to pass it up at the grocery today. I tend to eat it all myself... and in one day.
Stuffed squash, Twirly.. It is easy.. and it is good.. not sure how renal friendly!
I never measure anything - sorry.. here is the recipe
Get some calabaza squash (1 is enough for 2 servings) - cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the inside
Toss all this in a bowl - monterrey jack, 1 roma tomato diced small, 1 or 2 slices of ham diced, diced onions, pepper, oregano - small pinch
Fill the calabazas, top with a bit more cheese and put in the oven at about 350 for 30 minutes or so.
You can use regular zuchinni too, just buy fat ones.
-
sounds so good
a calabaza squash -- fat squash ?
I am going to stop buying watermelons when Bubba goes back to A&M -
my husband will not eat them and they make Yogi sick -
-
Broiled sea bass with mixed veggies (brussel sprouts, baby bok choy, carrots, parsnip, asparagus). Salad of organic greens with a pomegranate vinaigrette. Decaf cappuccino.
One of my best friends and I went out for dinner for the first time since my transplant.
-
I want to go to eat with Monrein. She has interesting meals. Mine are boring!
-
Come on with me KK. We'll find (or make if necessary) some interesting yet renal-friendly food. I take it that you'll pass on the Dim Sum place I go to for spicy stewed tripe and chicken feet in sweet and sour sauce.
Tonight, I'm having smoked turkey split pea soup and a quinoa salad.
-
Just don't tell me what it is first. I would probably try it. I love spicy food.
-
I'll pass on the chicken feet but I do love to go for Dim Sum....
-
give Kitkatz a chicken feet burrito :clap; :clap; she will never know
-
That is sooo true! :rofl;
give Kitkatz a chicken feet burrito :clap; :clap; she will never know

or even better
chocolate covered chicken feet tell her they are pretzels :waving;
-
I need to cook something tonight. The crew at the long, slow death watch for my friend who has finally called it quits on his battle with cancer have put in an order for anything homemade and sweet. So far, I've done chocolate covered strawberries and no bake fudge cookies. I'm making shortbread or scones next. I need to cook some real dinner, too, or I'll end up picking at junk all night!
I've got burger, sauce and whole wheat penne, so I think that's going to be dinner.
-
I am having a dollar menu hamburger from Sonic -
I ate strawberry natural ice cream from Kroger's - (way too much )
my husband ate pizza with his tennis team and Allen is eating at church at the dinner for the youth -
-
I am smoking some BBQ chicken and making some potato salad! Oh and I am enjoying a beer.
I am not being a good girl tonight :oops;
-
I can't eat or drink anything until after tomorrow procedure....
-
Dan good luck sweetie!
-
I need good luck getting up at 6 AM..... how will I ever manage?
-
You can do it Dan! :cheer: :cheer:
-
WHAT PROCEDURE -- CRAWFORD ?
I thought you just had a procedure done.
MandaMe -- Girls just want to have fun. I love smoked chicken and potato salad and not the renal friendly salad either
-
I'm having my battery recharged in the morning.
-
I love me some smoked chicken and potato salad. Yeah mine isn't renal friendly either. So I added the beer for good mesure.
-
How did the chicken turn out last night, Manda? It sure did sound good!
By the way - love your new picture!
-
The chicken turned out really good. *smile* I was pretty proud of it myself, and my little brother told me I could give my dad a run for the best chicken. And that is really cool! My dad all my life has had the chicken that everyone loves and talks about. So I am super happy this morning.
Yeah I found that picture on my computer it was taken about 3 years ago. I like it. It is one of the only ones I have with me and both my kids. Haha.
-
I'm making a lobster salad appetizer (cold cooked lobster diced up, small amount of low fat sour cream, lemon zest, fresh dill, tiny bit of fresh basil, freshly ground black pepper) that I'll plate alongside a fresh tomato and greens salad dressed with a tarragon vinaigrette. Usually we eat our salad at the end of our meal (very helpful for the digestion and also good to fill up in a healthy way and therefore cut back or skip dessert altogether) but tonight I'm starting with this salad appetizer as the flavours are much more delicate than the soup.
Next, some homemade spicy split pea/smoked turkey soup with toasted nine-grain walnut bread.
Dessert will be lime sherbet for Lee and yogurt mixed with applesauce for me.
-
:waving; Where does the line form to go live (therefore eat) at Monrein's house? :rofl;
-
behind me! ;D
We are having green chicken enchiladas tonight at hubby's request.
-
green chicken? hmmmmm. ...
Leftovers here - a smidge of this and a scoop of that. Time to clean the fridge!
-
fresh corn on the cob
coconut shrimp -baked
salad - tossed
cucumbers and a loaded baked potato for my little football player - extra - coaches think he is losing lbs
for me
peaches
1/2 a corn cob
2 shrimp
-
Kroger has a package of frozen coconut shrimp that is really good.
I'm having hushpuppies and cornbread....
-

??? are you on the cornmeal diet ???
-
I'm not on a diet at all. At my center today my dietician and a lot of other people were passing out food samples (I thought I was in Central Market). One guy made some delicious sausage... I got the recipe but I'm sure its too hard.
-
Central Market! :clap;
-
I like Central Market... especially on Saturday when they have the Jazz combo on the patio. And the freebie samples aren't bad either.
-
Matthew is grilling stakes, baked patatos, and steemed veggies...
-
I need to know some high phos. foods! She told me peanut butter and cheese but I'm a little tired of it.
-
Beans are high in phos, so split pea soup, blackeyed peas stew, man I love my beans. Whole grains also, so a nice multigrain bread with nuts and seeds to go along with the beans.
-
I was trying to find beans.... that's what I'll have.
-
refried beans :yahoo; :yahoo;
pinto beans :yahoo; :yahoo;
:sir ken; gas :yahoo; :yahoo;
-
I like all of them. Gas is OK. Give the nurses and techs a treat.....
-
Chocolate is high in phos and potassium. Dip a hershey bar in peanut butter. . . yummmmmmm!
Dinner - oh, shoot, guess I should find some. Smoked sausage was buy one, get one free, so guess I'll grill up a bit with some veggies.
-
At the center Monday the dietician's staff had all cooked or prepared something to taste (renal recipe)...Some of it was quite good. One guy made sausage. He handed out a booklet with the recipe. It was delicious. Problem, the recipe is for patties but he stuffed his in a casing and grilled it. How the heck do you stuff sausage in a casing. The basic recipe is fairly simple but wouldn't it take forever to cram it down some kind of gut????

I think there are special machines that help with that task. . .

They make a little machine that stuffs them for you. You just fill it and turn a hand crank.

Oh my, its too expensive....maybe I'll have patties.

baked chicken thighs in Picante sauce
when done - cool and pull meat off bones -- add low sodium chicken broth - carrots, celery and other vegetables and simmer and you have chicken soup
my husband -- eggplant, rice and bee casserole ---- I mean beef
dessert -- sliced fresh strawberries in an ice cream cone
the end
-
I don't think I would like bees in a casserole?
-
bee - it is the new white meat
-

Lunch today was going to be blackened tilapia, but it didn't happen - I ended up eating a hot dog with mustard and onions instead. Tilapia will be for dinner, then.
Blackened Tilapia: coat tilapia in Cajun spices (I mix my own to avoid the salted mixes) and let sit 20 minutes. Pan fry in a cast iron skillet on medium-high until cooked through and both sides are blackened. Serve with rice pilaf and vegetables.
-
sounds good but what are cajun spices???? I love blackened fish.
-
A Cajun spice mix is usually garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, white pepper, thyme, cayenne, and oregano, sometimes with other spices or dried herbs added. Emeril's Essence is one example.
-
Tomato Soup
-
Made a really nice pork loin roast tonight. 5 lb pork loin, coated with a paste of finely chopped fresh thyme, parsley, and dried rosemary, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roasted to 160 sitting on top of some halved white potatoes, baby carrots, onions, and celery. Served with a parsley-shallot-mustard sauce.
I've never had lean pork come out so juicy - it was excellent.
-
We had a nice fatty chuck roast, put it in a pan, peeled one potato and 4 carrots, and put canned golden cream of mushroom soup over the top. Hubby loves it like that. But, today I got adventureous and made peanut butter cookies with white Splenda and brown Splenda. Amazing, they taste like peanut butter cookies. Husband is diabetic.
-
LOL! I was just reading the posts, started with the most recent and moved up.
Mmmm chuck roast with all the fixins - my favorite dish. Then, the pork loin roast with all those fresh herbs and nummy sauce. I'm getting hungry just thinking of all the flavor and smells and just thinking SAVORY... then manda's "tomato soup". it just struck me as very funny!! I love tomato soup, but not after filling my senses with all that savory! :) :rofl;
-
Lemon roasted leg of lamb with rosemary and a red currant jelly based sauce. Baby new potatoes sprinkled with fresh mint, green beans braised in onion, tomato and garlic and a nice mixed green salad including mâche which is one of my favorite salad greens and homemade vinaigrette.
Dessert is a fruit tart from a pastry shop I like a lot. The base is like a shortbread cookie then there's whipped cream and a variety of tropical fruits in this particular case. It's not without calories but it's much less than many of the other very decadent things they make.
-
see, am I right or am I right
monrein is classy -- look at what she eats - no onion rings and nuggets for her
-
:rofl; you're right twirl, I don't eat those deep fried things...it's one of my "rules" for health, but does classy include just a little bit of lamb sauce on a white linen blouse? I really hope so because I like being thought of as classy as long as I'm not thought of as snotty (perhaps that should be snobby).
-
what the heck is lamb sauce -?
I will pass you my catsup
no one said snobby -- are you going to be on The Housewives of IHD ?
( you may not know what I am talking about ) :waving;
-
My last off topic comment here is...yeah twirl, I know what you're talking about but doesn't a person have to get implants on the upper part of the body before they can be one of those housewives??? Implants of silicone or saline are also against my rules. :rofl;
-
Gail, you are classy in my book even with the lamb sauce on you blouse :rofl;
I can honestly say that I haven't hurt myself cooking lately. I was happy I had a bunch of leftovers in the freezer. I'm bad. I did make Len and my son some lemon angel food cupcakes the other day. I'm thinking about moving in with monrein. :waving;
-
we should both move in with her
we would lose weight
with all that real food and no junk
-
Can I join in with you all?
I had french onion soup, prime rib, garlic mashed potatoes, bread butter and a diet coke. Outback Restaurant meal. I wanted Peruvian food, but they were closed tonight.
-
I had schnitzel for dinner last night.
-
mmm, sounds good MI... I had a turkey sandwich and haagendas rum raisin ice cream. The desert part was good.
-
I am gonna make a big pot of home made chicken soup today
-
We had my homemade a meatloaf (very low sodium, but very yummy), a pasta side, green beens with almonds (Brendan and I had the almonds, Rob didn't) and garlic bread. Very yummy!!!!
-
No matt just called they opend the jack and the box today so i am having that...
-
I cooked boneless chicken thighs on the grill. I ate two....and some rum raisin ice cream
-
DW, next time give me fair warning and I'll come share the ice cream with you! ;D
-
give me a big bowl and add extra rum -- hold the raisins
-
Hehe. Hold the raisins and the ice cream...
-
Tonight was a healthy meal -- somewhat! I made fish with grilled jalapenos and onions, white rice cooked with chicken stock, and fresh avacados.
Now, I am waiting on some cream cheese and cool whip to soften and I will make a no-bake bananas foster cheesecake! Mmm.. And then hubby will take it to work in the morning - but not before I get few tastes of the filling. ;D
-
Cheddar's
chips, salsa and con queso --- I will get a separate plate and put some on it and that's is it
onion rings with dip - I will eat four onion rings and a little dip ( the four biggest I can find) these
are never greasy
mushroom hamburger -- no bun ordered and extra lettuce
a cup of ice in a to go cup - drink it as it melts
Trasie and Stasie and Scott are coming with us to share -- well, not Scott but Stasie and Trasie and my husband will take care of the dip and con queso and onion rings
-
The only Cheddars is way out WestPark... Is it worth that long a drive for me?
-
did you run out of asses?
after all that planning Stacie could not go to Cheddar's so I went to a Mex place and had a small tortilla soup with avocado slices and one bean chalupa --- it was good
Cheddar's is okay --- look on their menu -- the burgers are good and the onion rings ( not greasy ) and the chili con queso is the best I have ever had --- each time we have been there ( 2 ) we have not been charged for everything -- and a friend of mine did not have to pay for her steak - she thought it was tough
I don't really get it but everything we go or drive by there is a long waiting line -- out the door and into the street
we go to the one across from splashtown
even at 2pm the lines are amazing --- and that was a school day
go figure

No, I have more asses but thought I put up and angel to show my sweeter side..... and also to fool y ou.
Jalapeno cornbread, a mild red onion and a can of pinto beanns (low sodium with added melted cheese. A diet dr pepper and a giant glass of ice water. This heat is wrecking my fluid intake.
-
I guess now you are a "sweet ass" ?
if you make pinto beans from the dried beans - you can control the sodium -
I want your dinner
the heat from outside and the heat from food kill my water intake
I want your large glass of water
warning
your pee pee output will decrease as you do dialysis

No, this is just a temporary break. I'm thinking two or three sexy angels then back to asses.

I made chicken chorizo soup. Here comes the heartburn!
-
I had meatballs......mash and sweet carrots

I made them from topside mince,grated onion and grated potato. With spices... (very little salt)
-
My daughter and I bought a bunch of fresh veggies and chicken and made an awesome stir fry.
-
5.00 from Subway :cheer: and no bananas :bandance;
and fresh rainwater to drink ---- well a sip or two
Des - - mash? topside mince?
-
Early but I ate ... a sloppy Jane.... (a sloppy Joe made with ground turkey)

For dinner tomorrow I will be having red beans and rice and jumbalaya.. maybe some crawfish etoufee - we are headed to New Orleans tonight!
And it is raining.. How wonderful! :cheer:

I hear that is a great place for laundry -
-
Leftover chuck roast, small pieces, 4 fresh carrots, sliced. 2 T of creamed corn.Just enough water to cover and cook. Cook spaghetti, put on plates, cover with the meat and vegetables. WAH-LA, stewghetti!!!!!! Dang good too. Plus of course 1 piece of garlic bread.
-
Yes, Twirl.. Laundry was fun... lol
-
Either Thai or Tex Mex, if it is cool enough at dinner time. Otherwise a left over chicken sandwich.
-

-
Picos has outside dining, but I don't think I want it tonight...It does have ceiling fans but....
-
you do not want to be a hot ass :clap;
-
just had an apple salad with raisins, pecans and celery and mayonaise.
To hot to go out.
Opened up the turkey concoction left over and the smell reminded me of my burps the night before when I first ate it.
-
Supper tonight was a 45 minute walk followed by a visit to Baskin Robbins for a cone of Perils of Praline. It was so delicious. Frozen vanilla yogurt with pralines, bits of chocolate crispy stuff and ribbons of caramel. Only 4 grams of fat, instead of about 20 grams in their regular Pralines and Cream. It was a really lovely day here so I gardened hard this morning then had lunch downtown at a nice restaurant with my mother-in-law. Not at all hungry really so the cone was the perfect solution.
-
Sirloin on the BBQ and freshly picked strawberries
-
Padang curry chicken.. or something like that.. I'm in Florida with my brother. We went to a Thai house for dinner. Yummy!
-
At the moment I will be happy with anything I can cook in my kitchen....Home cooked meal sounds the best. The last two nights have had Jack and the Box and Pizza....And the two nights before that tattor tots.. lol
-
paint soup
-
Sounds yummy :2thumbsup;
-
Do tell.... what is paint soup?
-
just what it sounds like...Paint soup..haha I have been painting so that is about all I had in my kitchen last night.
-
ahhhh!!! lol
-
small hot and sour soup
ice tea
two crab puffs
1/2 order of roast pork egg fu yun
other half tomorrow
-
A simple omelette with some aged cheddar, lots of chives and half a leaf of fresh basil, edamame (fresh soybean) and daikon (giant radish) salad with chopped parsley and finely chopped tomato. Also some wheatberry and sunflower seed salad. Organic blueberries and yogurt for dessert unless I feel decadent and pass by Baskin Robbins for a Perils of Praline frozen yogurt (low fat) cone during my early evening walk.
-
Turkey drumsticks basted with fresh garlic sauteed in margarine cooked indirectly on the BBQ and watermelon.
**During the summer I cook on the BBQ almost every night. It keeps the house cooler. Because I have camped so much I have learned how to cook some pretty impressive meals outside.
-

shrimp tosado thing with avacodo slices and big shrimp and that sauce stuff full of vegetables - one of those
and two pollo lolo -- chicken with a pepper and cheese and bacon wrapped around it and then grilled
these are small like the ones with shrimp instead of chicken
I did not eat the rice or the chili con queso
my husband and son ate them for me
got to love them'
-
Watermelon, ice cream, coke and half a pork sandwich loaded with habanera hot sauce...
-
Brie on bavarian bread -- cousins brought me some German bread when they visited in May. I froze some of it and took out a bag today.
Watermelon gets me in trouble, DW. I bought some the other day and ate it all by myself the same day.
-
Well, you don't have to be a pic about it. I just bought a slice although I wanted one of those little seekless ones. Why am I getting to be so cheap?
-
crawford you are not cheap -- you spit the seeds out so why pay for something you will spit out ???
I have a litte round watermelon that I am afraid to cut open -- my husband will not eat watermelon
I will eat the whole thing -- I have no control when it comes to watermelon :P
-
Just got back from Picos where I took Gwen and had fajita's for two. God, she talks loud. Anyway I had a special coupon from e-mail for !0 off on the fourth. But I didn't tell. Also I had some kind of weird drink with beer and clamato juice and stuff. Not bad, but then I wanted my real marguarita afterwards.
Sure is hot outside. That's the limit of my 4th of july celebration unless they have fireworks on TV later...
Happy 4th to all patriots and to all you party animals. Oh hell, maybe I'll drink a corona.
-
so who is Gwen?
-
so who is Gwen?
Yeah, who is this Gwen? :rofl;
-
an old lady who lives near here and used to work where I did. Nothing news worthy....she's the one who doesn't think dialysis is a problems...
-
I had roast beef, grilled veggies, and greek salad while on the dinner cruise. Food wasn't bad! Hubby and I had a great time.
-
the 4th of July was a diet killer!!! A hot dog, a hamburger and potato salad even. And, a piece of home-made apple pie!!!
-
tonight i am grilling marinated pork chops, corn on the cob and fixing a salad.
-
Somebody bring me corn on a cob and watermelon.... that's all I want.
-
Last night we had smoked chicken, hot links, hot dogs, hambugars. K that was just the meat
Then we had potato salad, chips, nachos, frito pie, watermelon, cookies, brownies, strawberries, and baked mac and cheese....
SO MUCH FOOD! I don't want to eat ever again.
-
Oh my Mandy, Is everybody sick now? Sounds like you had fun.
-
well it went on from Noon till about Midnight... So most of it went without people getting sick. But then again a few of them drank to much and I didn't go home with them..haha
-
I made Shrimpe etouffee for dinner. Not bad - but I think I went over my salt intake. Oops.
-
salt over load oh, who cares shrimpe etouffee it is worth it
-
weight watcher's meatloaf - edible but nothing to rave about
mashed potatoes -- for husband
corn on cob
green beans
the end
-
Watermelon, ice cream, coke and half a pork sandwich loaded with habanera hot sauce...
that could be my dream meal -- I started a thread on that --- months ago
the watermelon and ice cream and coke after the fire from the habanera hot sauce ---
things dreams are made of --- the heat of the coke going down --- soft food porn
-
concoction out of sirloin steak and vegetables with package of beef stew seasoning mix (sodium).. not too good. Not too bad. You have me wanting gumbo.
-
crawford recipe request for the concoction thing you ate
yeah -- red seafood gumbo with okra and saltine crackers and tobasco sauce and a beer for you
and a large unsweet ice tea with lemon for me
-
Had a sirloin steak that was way too big so I cut it into 3 pieces, browned it in olive oil, added can of low sodium tomatoes onion baby carrots and celery the put a pack of high sodium mccormicks stew mix in water and mixed it up and then cooked it a long long time. Actually was pretty good, like a good beef stew and the meat was really fork tender.
That's all. My recipes tend to be whatever is left in the fridge or cabinet -- sometimes tasty, other times garbage can worthy.
-
sounds good to me :cheer:
-
yea, surprisingly it was. today I added different vegetables from the freezer and reheated. (little baby corn )
I wish I had watermelon now.
-
I ate so much watermelon yesterday
I can not be around a melon or it is gone
I would say I am peeing watermelon seeds
but no pee for me -- or very little
-
I'm eating grapes instead... bad for diabetis, good for kidneys. this is getting ridiculous
-
between the lap band diet and the renal diet
I am damned if I do and damned it I don't
catch 22
-
I have to get into a better mood by morning else I'll curse the whole center out.
-
sleep on it :yahoo;
and if you need to curse then do it ---
-
Tonight I had chaulpas and spanish rice... skimpy on the rice... dang diabetes!
I would loooooove to have some watermelon! Makes my blood sugar shoooot up tho!
-
Ground beef tacos, beans, rice, diet coke.
-
Home made Hamburger Helper, brown the hamburger, add 1/2 envelope of taco seasoning mix, plus brown rice. Pretty Good. Oh, plus a ciabatta roll.
-
I like to make my own hamburger helper too. Ground beef, onions, garlic, tomato paste, whatever herbs and spices I feel like (usually chili powder, oregano, black pepper, red chili flakes), a splash of milk, some macaroni, and just enough water to cook the macaroni in the beef mixture. Sometimes I add a bit of balsamic vinegar, or a touch of sugar.
-
Balsamic Vinegar? I bought a bottle but dont really know what to do with it. Does it taste like vinegar? I love the onions too, but hubby is allergic to them.
-
Try the balsamic vinegar on fresh strawberries.... jean.
Wish restorer lived next door to me. I'm good at showing up at neighbor's eating times (accidently of course).
-
What balsamic vinegar tastes like depends on the kind you get. Almost all the bottles you'll find in a supermarket taste pretty much like red wine vinegar, maybe a little sweeter, but many aren't "real" balsamic vinegar. The real kind is aged for a long time, and hopefully is certified by the Italian consortium on balsamic vinegar, usually costs upwards of $30 for a small bottle, and is thick and sweet like syrup, yet still tangy. You can get a similar effect by boiling down the cheap balsamic until it's thick.
-
It is good with tomatoes, red onions, mozarella and a little olive oil too.. I add some seal salt and maybe some basil.. but your hubby can't do the onion.
-
A couple weeks ago in Las Vegas I had a dessert of roasted strawberries with real good aged balsamic vinegar and Humboldt Fog goat cheese. They all went excellently together.
-
Oh, thanks. I know I did not pay $30.00 for my bottle, but I did buy it at Trade Joe's and it does say made in Italy. I will try it on some tomato. Or some strawberries. Do they have to be cooked or is raw okay.
-
Strawberries (fresh/raw), Tomatoes either. Sparingly though. I also like to put fresh ground black pepper on the strawberries and maybe add a few leaves of that tiny lettuce (don't know what it is)
-
Oh, thanks. I know I did not pay $30.00 for my bottle, but I did buy it at Trade Joe's and it does say made in Italy. I will try it on some tomato. Or some strawberries. Do they have to be cooked or is raw okay.
The small rectangular bottle of balsamic vinegar from Trader Joe's? That's the one I have. That about the best you're gonna get without getting something aged and certified (and thus much more expensive). I hear Costco's Kirkland brand balsamic is pretty good too.
It'll be good on raw or cooked strawberries. I like it on raw sliced tomatoes (real good heirloom beefsteak tomatoes from the farmer's market) with some coarse sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
-
Usually I like rice wine vinegar and olive oil for a salad dressing. Could I also use the balsamic with olive oil? Gonna try it tomorrow for sure.
-
Absolutely. Balsamic vinaigrette is a classic dressing. 1 part balsamic, 2 parts olive oil, a tiny bit of Dijon mustard, a pinch of sugar, a pinch of salt, and maybe some black pepper, and whisk it all together. Maybe use less olive oil if that's to your taste, but I like a ratio closer to the classic 1 to 3.
-
I am going to so regret this Friday morning
watermelon
orange sherbet
ice tea and lemon
-
fluids, fluids, fluids!
You are going to regret it. I know I always felt bad after having to pull too much fluid off. I hope it's not too bad Twirl.
-
thanks restorer, I had some tongiht over some store bought raunchy tomatoes and it tasted very good, not like I had expected. Weill try the saladdressing tomorrow with the olive oil and report in. Never thought I would put vinegar of any kind on a strawberry, but, that's next/
-
Raunchy tomatoes? Did you buy them from Wenchie?? :rofl;
-
Ok, energency here. I thawed a package of chicken tenders. i'm sick of chicken. What can i do besides broil? I want something in sauce (like something with cream cheese and noodles).... anything as long as it is not dry boring chicken.
-
Stir fry of some kind? Or grilled but with a cheese sauce - made from scratch I mean - not some bought rubbish.
-
how do I make a sauce???
-
dw, beat up an egg and dip chicken in and then coat them with Parmesan cheese and light fry in olive oil and a little butter. They are so good and they stay moist.
-
sounds good willie and I have all that. there's a lot though. will it keep a day or so for snacks?
-
dw, do you have any velveeta?
-
Really easy. Put some milk (a cup) in a pan, add tablespoon and a half maybe of flour and mix or whisk together. Heat it up. Add half a cup (or more if you like cheese) of grated cheese. Heat it till it thickens. Pepper and salt to taste.
Pour over your cooked chicken.
PS I've just remember you're American. To make grated cheese, take the cheese and run it down the side of your grater...lol
-
Len actually likes it better cold.
-
Easy cheese sauce
1 cup cold milk
1 tablespoon Argo® or Kingsford’s Corn Starch
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup (4oz) shredded cheddar cheese
In small saucepan gradually stir milk into corn starch until smooth. Add margarine, salt and pepper.
Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat; boil 1 minute.
Stir in cheese until melted.
Serve over broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus or baked potatoes.
Makes 1 cup
-
Ok, thanks. I'm going to try the parmesean one tonight and the cheese sause next time...
My "ihd connection is hanging up"
-
PS I've just remember you're American. To make grated cheese, take the cheese and run it down the side of your grater...lol
How does being American mean you don't know how to grate cheese? ???
dwcrawford, I usually marinate and grill tenderloins like that, but I've also done other things like:
Shredded chicken tacos: cook the tenderloins in simmering water flavored with chili powder, tomato paste, salt, pepper, oregano, and cumin. Take them out, let them cool, then pull them apart into shreds. Put the chicken back in a frying pan with some chopped onion, garlic, and peppers, and add some salsa. Cook it until it comes together, then fill corn tortillas and eat like tacos.
Oven-fried chicken: mix 2 parts mayo with 1 part mustard, coat the tenderloins in that mixture, then dredge them in bread crumbs (I like the Japanese panko bread crumbs) seasoned with salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika. Spray moderately with Pam, then bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until done.
Truly fried chicken fingers: pretty much the same as above, but first dredge in flour, then beaten eggs, then the bread crumbs. Let rest for 5 or 10 minutes, then shallow-fry in about half an inch of oil until nicely browned and cooked.
-
We were joking the other day about how many things come pre packaged in America.
-
Thing is that Hanify and Willie knew to whom they were talking... my cooking skills leave a lot to be desired. Problem here is renal diet and I need to eat chicken and cheese... low everything except calcium..
I did the coating with Parmesan simply because I couldn't figure out how to grate the cheddar. Maybe somebody will give a class in cheddar grating. Is it similar to grating the Parmesan. (and how do you spell Parmesan?)
Restorer, your recipes sound really good but they are way too difficult. I'd particularly like the chicken tacos but...
-
So dw, did you like them?
-
i did the parmesan in olvie oil. very good. Actually, it was the only think I had all the ingredients for
-
Or did I like my Yorkies???? Of course I did.
-
Oh, okay, cooking's a big hobby for me so I tend to take some skills for granted.
An easier variation on the chicken tacos is to just simmer the chicken in chicken broth for 20 minutes, then take them out, let them cool until you can handle them, and rip them up into shreds. Then put them back into a pan with a pat of butter and a bunch of canned/jar salsa, and just cook it on low heat until it's hot, then put that into corn tortillas. Only three steps - the hardest part is knowing when each step is "done," but it's pretty hard to go too long on any step of this recipe.
I have a food blog that I'd link here, but it's in a transition right now until I can decide on a name for it and get a domain name.
-
I had chicken stuffed with roasted red peppers, rice, and tomato salad.
-
Or did I like my Yorkies???? Of course I did.
I meant the chicken. I know you like your Yorkies, who wouldn't. :rofl;
-
We went to the Elephant Bar and had Elephant steaks. I am just kidding. We had beef loin, watermelon, beans, coleslaw and a diet coke. It was great. I ate hubby's watermelon and his coleslaw and everything on my plate! He had half my beans and some of my cooked onions. I am content and full.
-
We had a large sald of lettuce, cukes and tomato and some grilled chicken. My salad had the balsamic vinegar, olive oil recipe and it was gooooooood. Also some ciabatta bread.
Unfortunately, 4 hours later I was starved, so I had a turkey sandwich.
-
Oh restorer, don't stop your recipes. Actually I printed out the chicken taco one and another you posted a while back. I could do it if I were having company or something but it is was too hard just for myself. Usually I would have to go shopping to get an ingredient for even simple one. I'm not a cook at all but a really "good" eater. I even watch food tv channel though I've tried only three things from there over the many years .. an avacado cake (like pumpking bread), the barefoot contessa baked eggs with herbs, and buttermilk ice cream (taste just like cheese cake).
-
I didn't have dinner last night, but thinking about catfish, hushpuppies and coslaw tonight
-
Having some leftovers tonight.... deer burger enchiladas, spanish noodles and desesrt... peach sherbert
-
Frozen Pizza :puke;

I fixed a pot roast in the slow cooker out in the garage. Too hot to have it in the kitchen. I love one pot meals. I did make homemade Italian bread today.

lunch special
small hot and sour soup
sweet and sour shrimp sauce on the side
egg roll
rice
NOT
I had the soup and tea and that is all
they forgot to bring my lunch and I asked three times
finally, when everyone else was done they brought it to me in a "to go" container
I told them NO
I really said NO THANKS
but I should have left off the thanks
and my husband made me leave a tip and I had to pay for everyone on my debit card
and I started the day with dialysis
-
Caprese salad - I borrowed Restorer's recipe for a balsamic vinaigrette. Normally I would just pour a bit of oil and vinegar on top, but putting in the extra effort tonight. :cheer:
-
When I'm lazy, I'll just drizzle olive oil and vinegar on my salad, usually after sprinkling a bit of salt. When I was a freshman in college eating in the dining commons, I'd often fill a bowl with baby spinach, drizzle some sesame oil on, then seasoned rice vinegar. Very quick, tasty, simple salad.
-
Well, hurry up and get that food blog or website finished restorer.
Wenchie, they were store bought tomatoes,and they were raunchy. However, tonight a friend brought me 4 home grown ones. Tomato sancwich, yayayaya

People thinking about food already? Trying to figure something I can take for breakfast. Little sick of eggs and cereal.

thanks for explaining....
-
Ham, pinto beans, green bean casserole and stuffing.... hey, it's what the kids asked for!
-
I need some new ideas. I keep making the same 6 meals, over and over! Well, that and gorging myself on fresh summer produce. Today's dinner was green apple chicken salad, again. I still seem to be craving that, though.
-
again nothing.... :waiting;
-
Last night I had Willie's left over parmesan chicken strips cut into small pieces and mixed in a giant fresh green salad. For dressing, lemon butter dill sauce. Not a bad combination at all. (but still have more leftovers)
-
Sounds good. I think it's about time for me to make a salad.
Yesterday I had a grilled bone-in chicken breast, brushed while grilling with a mixture of butter, lemon juice, pepper, garlic powder, and crushed garlic. I had steamed broccoli and basmati rice seasoned with oregano, while everyone else had baked potatoes with feta.
-
Restorer,
Do You happen to have in your vast recipe box, a recipe for chili? Mine is mundane, and Hubby wants to enter a chili making contest.
Thanks in Advance
Jean
-
Hahah, absolutely. Chili is my specialty! :yahoo;
I'll try to find the recipe for the last batch of chili I made. Do you want beans or no beans? :)
ETA: Oh, and how spicy do you want it? I tend to make my chili very hot.
-
No beans and very hot.
-
Love chili
-
Boy, the last time I really made chili was over a year ago. I wasn't on dialysis yet, and I wasn't worrying about phosphorus. Here's the chili as I made it then, tweaked for no beans. It's quite hot - you'd better enjoy the burn for this one. If you want to adjust it to be less hot, drop the chipotles down to just one (not the whole can), use half as many ancho chiles, and possibly replace the poblano chiles with green bell peppers.
I've kinda made some assumptions on skill level in the recipe. It's a lot of work, but makes a really great chili. The idea is to braise the beef until it starts to fall apart into shreds. I'm planning to revise the recipe as I would make it now, and post it on my food blog, which is finally up and running at http://www.crookedkitchen.com (http://www.crookedkitchen.com). Here's the recipe:
olive oil
~2 lbs beef chuck, 1/2" cubed
2 onions
1/2 head of garlic, plus 4 cloves
1 small can tomato paste
500 ml brown ale
2 cups beef stock
8 ancho chiles (dried)
4 New Mexico chiles (dried)
1 can chipotles en adobo
2 poblanos (fresh)
2 large cans whole tomatoes, no salt
3 Tbsp whole cumin
2 tsp whole coriander
4 Tbsp dried oregano
2 bay leaves
juice of 1 lime
Sear beef in dutch oven with olive oil in batches, adding more oil if needed. Set aside each browned batch. Saute 2 sliced onions and 1/2 head of smashed garlic cloves in the dutch oven. When nearly done, add the tomato paste and fry until caramelized. Deglaze with some of the beer. Return the beef to the pot along with any drained liquids. Add the rest of the beer, the beef broth, and any water necessary to mostly cover. Season with oregano, black pepper, bay leaves, and salt. Let simmer on low, covered, while the chile paste is prepared.
Stem and seed the ancho and New Mexico chiles. In a large skillet, toast the chiles (in batches if needed), then rehydrate in hot water. Once soft, put the rehydrated chiles and the can of chipotle chiles in a food processor with just enough of the soaking liquid, and process to a puree. Add this puree to the braising meat, and mix it well into the liquid. Move the dutch oven to an oven set to 250 degrees for two hours.
While the meat is braising, prep the following: slice 4 cloves of garlic, toast the whole cumin and coriander in a dry skillet, then grind them in a spice grinder. Dice the poblanos. Separate, seed, and hand-crush the canned tomatoes. Also, chop 1 onion and some jalapenos, and grated cheddar for individual topping.
When the meat is done, remove from the oven and put on a simmer on the stove. Add the garlic, crushed tomatoes, some of the tomato juice, and the poblanos. Add any water needed, and bring to a simmer. Taste and season with salt and lime juice. Add cumin and coriander, and simmer on low, covered, about 30 minutes more.

Thanks. :D It's a bit overdue, I meant to have it running two months ago, but at least it's going now.
My dinner tonight deserves a confession too. Pretzels and an Icee, and then a couple hours later some Flamin' Hot Fritos.
-
Restorer sounds like my kind of dinner.
I had some spaggtie and celery and peanutbutter...
-
grilled italian sausage disks to pop in your mouth before dinner
then steak salad with lite blue cheese dressing...spicy sweet tangy chrunchy....yummy!
-
Mmm, grilled Italian sausage. I really like it (especially the HOT kind), but it's usually too salty for me. But when I do have it, I like dipping it in Dijon mustard.
I also added some radishes to my "dinner." I quartered them and put them in ice water like they do at Mexican restaurants. Then I snacked on them with some salt sprinkled on.

Please, how are tasty Pretzels produced?
My husband and I have tried different recipes without using any salt,
and every time we end up with "warmed up flour, mixed with water, tasting like straw"
and we can't figure out how to bake Pretzels and make them taste nice?
Does anyone know the secret how to bake tasty Pretzels
or is it the salt alone that makes them tasty?
Thanks, Kristina.
-
It's the salt. You really can't make most breads without salt - they end up tasting flat and flavorless. If you're looking for a soft pretzel recipe, here's one I'd trust (though I've never made pretzels):

Thanks, Matt, for the recipe, we shall try it out and perhaps we are lucky and
this recipe makes the Pretzels taste a little bit better without salt.---
It is true what you say that bread without any salt tastes a bit flat and flavourless,
and because of that we put one quarter of a teaspoon of ground cumin, the same amount of pepper
and same amount of finely grated nutmeg into the dough in our bread-machine,
and we just about manage to "get away with it",
producing bread without any salt
and it tastes not too flat or flavourless.
Thanks again for the recipe for the Pretzels, Kristina.

Anyone know if grapefruit is ok to eat??
-
Sourdough bread, as far as I know, is renal-friendly. In fact, most sourdough bread is lower in sodium than most other kinds of bread.
Grapefruit is high in potassium like most other citrus, but half a grapefruit is usually considered okay. However, grapefruit does interact with a lot of drugs - certain BP meds, antirejection meds, and others.
As far as the pretzels go, I'd say your best bet is to use a very moderate amount of salt in the dough itself, and then leave off the big chunks of salt that usually go on the outside. If you leave the salt out of the dough, I don't think there's much you can do to make it taste good.
For other breads, if phosphorus isn't an issue for you, maybe you can experiment with making bread with buttermilk or yogurt. The sourness can make up for a lack of salt.

:Kit n Stik;
Bad girl, twirly!
I have to buy watermelon presliced in the little packs. If I get a whole watermelon, I eat it all!
-
Is watermelon bad? High potassium? I've got it listed on a good (low) potassium list - ooops.
-
I am going to cook "honey and mustard chicken with rice"
-
I think watermelon is bad because of the fluid in it
and I should eat it in moderation which is hard -
I love it and now I can get it year round
-
I buy those little personal watermelons, Len's not a big watermelon fan, but I can eat the whole thing.
I'm going to fix grilled lamb chops, roasted potatoes and fresh squash. :waving;
-
Is watermelon bad? High potassium? I've got it listed on a good (low) potassium list - ooops.
Just the fluid content - watermelon is what - 80% water?, or something like that. So too much without accounting for it blows your fluid restrictions in a hurry. So dicing it into a fruit salad isn't too bad, but eating half of one at a sitting is not so good. Think of carrying a full size watermelon, and how heavy they are - it's all water weight!
-
I can not help it ------ watermelon rules
ate at Golden Corral
lima beans, green beans, greens, one bite of a chicken fried leg,
mashed potatoes, two fried chicken livers, unsweet tea, two bites Bluebell strawberry ice cream and more lima beans
they had no watermelon ???
-
I remember once at a summer festival some one was selling half watermelons witht he seeds scooped out and icecream in the scooped out bit. Man, that would be my whole day gone in one fell swoop - but might be just worth it lol!
-
oooh, that sounds fabulous! Maybe if we did it with the little ones they are now selling as "personal" sized melons.. .
-
I want to go out in the field and find my own personal watermelon!
Well I'll be damned there it is now!
-
I am love with the man and his melon :cheer:
-
I do love watermelon too... At one of the grocery stores here they will sell a few slices of it wrapped up. I buy that instead of the whole or 1/2 melon.
Tonight we had Bratwurst and pasta salad. Too hot to cook something elaborate.
-
that little tiny seedless is perfect (four normal serving or two serving for me) and it is so tasty. Randall has them on sale this weekend (houston people)
-
I took the last two slices of watermelon I had in the fridge and weighed them after cutting off the rinds. Yikes! Two small slices, about an inch thick and the size of my palm weigh as much as a full cup of water. If you are aiming for a liter a day, those two little pieces are about a 1/4 of your daily fluid limit.
-
Thats another reason to be greatful I'm still peeing a lot (even though I fuss about having to get up in the middle of the night)
Twirl, I bet that man's watermelon is over ripe.... you sure you're in love?
-
Tonight we are having ribs, corn on the cob & baked beans. My labs are great so I just have to make sure I don't overdo on certain foods & to take my binder (Tums)
peace,
DJ
-
Tonight I made a Ravioli Pasta Bake with Spinach!
Caesar salad to go with it.. yummy!
-
Paprika chicken in the crock pot and rice.. Trying not to make the kitchen so darn hot.
-
We are still under appetitie here, so tonight was frozen chicken and corn on the cob. However, I did make salsa the other night, first time, and it's pretty darned good. Unfortunately, I want to eat it all the time. The chips are the killer tho.
-
Today it was too hot and we were too lazy to cook, so we went out for dinner to Acapulco. We all had different incarnations of chicken - mine was chicken fajitas, with sauteed vegetables instead of beans. Yummy stuff, and I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. :yahoo;
-
beets
squash casserole
hm fried okra -- cornmeal
steaks on the grill --- not for me -- I did not want one
unsweet tea
those lighter colored cherries for dessert for me -- yummers
choc marble cake with hm Hershey's frosting --- yuck to me
-
People in my family always got to order the meal on their birthdays. One of mine was fried okra, fresh garden peas and garden tomatoes sliced....(oh course with cornbread)
the other two were 1. chicken salad sandwiches and 2. saurkraut and mashed potatoes.
-
I'm fixing stuff flounder, fried potatoes and string beans. Today is my son's birthday so yesterday his girlfriend and I made oatmeal cookies and mint chocolate chip cookies for him instead of a cake. Len's birthday is Friday and I am taking him out for a seafood pigout on Wednesday because it is suppose to be the nicest day this week. Hard crabs, shrimp, clams, crab legs and beer. Doesn't get any better then that. :cuddle;
-
Oh boy... crabs and shrimp. You did say :beer1; didn't you?
-
w&w how do you stuff a flounder ??? would the same recipe work for stuffed shark???
-
I had rotissirie chicken and tortillas.. no cooking for me.. way too hot!
Stuffed flounder sounds yummy! And crab and shrimp.. mmmmm.. double yummy.. We used to go to a restaurant that served this big metal tub filled with lobster, alaskan king crab, shrimp, potatoes, and corn.. it was delicious and so much fun to eat! Add beer to that and it was heaven!
-
Are you cooking a shark, Twirl?
-
She'll need a lot of stuffing to stuff a shark!! LOL. We can fried cod fish and french fries for supper. YUM!!! I have 20 lbs of crab in my freezer to enjoy!!!
-
So went to Cracker Barrel today.. Had the Chicken and Dumplings....Wow. Worst meal I have ever had in my life! EVER! I was so disappointed. >:(
-
I used to love their Chicken Dumplings. Couldn't wait to go down to Baytown or Mt. Beliview to work cause they always brought in Cracker Barrel stuff.
-
I have heard nothing but good things about them too. I couldn't belive what I was eating. I may never go back there again. The greens were good as always. I should have stuck with the grilled trout. :( I just thought I would do something diffrent this time.
-
I didn't get my Tres Leches Cake... Excuses....
lol. But I get get the best homemade Mischelads (don't take off for spelling)
-
Mmm, shark. I love shark. When I was living in Santa Barbara, we had a lot of good local thresher shark. It's like swordfish, but even more like meat or chicken than fish. Really good grilled.
But I get get the best homemade Mischelads (don't take off for spelling)
That's okay, spelling doesn't count after a few Michasldd...whatever :beer1;
-
Pork Strips, in the crockpot, potato salad and corn on the cob. All good, but I did get carried away with the horseradish in the potato salad. It practically bit you back.
-
horseradish in potato salad ?
Cracker Barrel serves some new dishes cooked in foil -- once bubba got the roast beef and I got the chicken and both meals were good -- especially the vegetables
I usually get the green beans, mac and cheese and small children' s dessert -- choc sundae
they took salmon patties off their menu and now they suck
except right after Christmas when everything in the store is 50 - 75% off
-
Yeah my mom likes going there, but it just isn't as good anymore as it used to be. Its sad.
-
Horseradish in potato salad sounds good! I may have to try that.
I am making chicken and canellini bean soup for lunch today. I think it is pretty renal friendly (maybe not for dialysis patients though because of the beans -- but for other stages). We will see how it turns out. Hubby will be the guinea pig!
-
Keeping it simple here. Oven roasting a chicken, mashed potatoes/gravy and carrots
-
Having us some green chilie cheese burgers tonight.
-
Spinach Manicotti with mixed greens salad. I made of course.
-
Canned left over pinto beans from last night.. slice of leftover cornbread --- vanilla ice cream in a coke Zero.
-
What can I have tonight? I have unfrozen chicken drumsticks but that'd be a mess. I have peanut butter, cheese (but no bread), cereal (but none of it sounds good). Oh, store bought chicken salad... that's easy enough.
-
Danny boy do you have some chili powder, garlic powder, and pepper? Maybe a pinch of salt of you are feeling daring? And some veggie oil? Mix them all in a bowl with your drumsticks and pop them in the oven for a bit. And yummy chicken. Sure beats peanut butter
-
Will do it tomorrow. Just found a roll in the freezer and made a grilled cheese and at with a dill pickle.
-
I bet Restorer has something really good for his BIRTHDAY TODAY.... :birthday;
-
Restprer happy birthday! :birthday;
-
Thanks! Someone's paying attention! :birthday;
I went out to Wood Ranch BBQ for dinner. I had the combo with tri-tip and BBQ half chicken, with peanut coleslaw and grilled white corn. I still have lots of leftovers for tomorrow's lunch.
-
We are being overrun by vegetables! I am an impatient, untalented cook, so I have no idea what to do with all of these CSA vegetables, and my husband loves cooking but does not have the time.
We just picked up our share last night, and we have many leftovers from the past week (some of it may not be usable). Broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, zucchini (courgettes if you insist), squash, tomatoes, lettuce, beets, pole beans, english peas, and eggs, eggs, eggs! Someone save us!
My son has his birthday party tomorrow, so I want to save my energy, but I am thinking I may attempt some sort of broccoli/cauliflower/cheese soup, perhaps throw some kohlrabi in there. The kids won't eat most vegetables without being threatened, so my husband and I better love it.
Next week we have the meat CSA on top of the vegetables. Some 15 pounds of frozen meat will be coming direct from the farm.... and I am a vegetarian. :rofl;
-
I have a good cauliflower and cheese soup recipe if you want it. My husband loves it and I think it would be pretty kid friendly too with the cheddar cheese. Just may not be renal friendly.
-
roast cauliflower in the oven
let it roast and get a little brown
be warned----
it is easy to eat the whole head
-
Cauliflor? Is that kind of nasy like broccoli?
-
no :yahoo;
it is not green :yahoo; :yahoo;
roast it and it will taste like popcorn
only better----- I promise
do you have diarrhea today -- you are not on much
-
Grilled, layered chicken,basil and eggplant "Lasagna" , mixed green salad with parmesan croutons and assorted diced veggies, balsamic vinaigrette.
-
Dear Ms. Classy Pants, what does basil taste like and would it hurt not to use it and what is
your recipe for the lasagna dish ----
and hello
-
Basil taste like italian food. Eat it. You'll like it.
-
thanks and I will :cheer:
-
i've got some growing on the back deck if you want to come pick some... guess the dried is ok though.
-
Take a small eggplant (the big ones can be bitter) and slice it thinly, use a mandoline if you have one. Brush with olive oil and grill until nicely charred on both sides. Take fresh chicken breasts and slice lengthwise into uniform slices not too thick (cutlets like) . Brush with olive oil and chopped fresh basil or parsley. Grill quickly or saute quickly but don't cook all the way. Make a lasagna by layering the chicken with the eggplant adding what you like...maybe a bit of tomato sauce, maybe more chopped basil or parsley, grated parmesan, mozzarella, whatever you're allowed to have.
Top with grated parmesan and bake for 30 minutes at 400.
You can also just grill the chicken and eggplant and assemble a layered thing like a lasagna adding in cheeses, herbs etc. This way, picky people can leave out things they don't like. For this though I like to then wrap it in individual foil pouches and grill to melt any cheese and warm it up.
Basil is super easy to grow...several different types. Sweet basil is maybe most common but there's Thai red basil and small leaved basil too.
No it wouldn't hurt not to use it. I just love it. I put it in scrambled eggs even.
There you go Ms. Texas Twirl.
Don't bother with the dried for this lasagna. Use a different herb, like parsley instead or leave it out.

I just got back from seeing the movie "Julie and Julia." It's about Julia Child, food and love. It's a great movie. I went by myself. First time for everything, right? I had a movie combo for dinner - a big bag of popcorn (with butter!) and a big diet pepsi. First time for everything, right? I'm not planning to make it a habit, but it was fun and I laughed. Now I'm watching shark week and thinking of Twirl. :-*
-
I would love to try your recipe, MIbarra. I'll let you know if the kids like it. The older kid should be game, but the younger one seems to have issues against soup in general. He calls it slime (he's 3). As for renal friendly, so far, I don't need to worry about that. I know my husband and I will love it, and we live in the land of cheese (Wis.) so we can get the good stuff!
Twirl, I've never tried roasted cauliflower. Sounds divine. I'll give it a try over the weekend.
Thanks for the input! :flower;

Very good. Nothing wrong with going places by yourself. What better company could there be. You maybe should make a habit of it (well perhaps not all the buttered popcorn, pepsi, etc.) I want to see that movie. The promos look really good. I saw a biography on Julia and I think she may have truly been a bit irreverent.
-
she can have all the pepsi and buttered popcorn she wants -- she is not on dialysis :cuddle;
I want to see that movie
thanks monrein for the recipe

Butter is bad for you heart. Popcorn is bad for your teeth. Pepsi make you want to go to the bathroom...

I've got just the thing for your pole beans (though if you're a vegetarian, you might have to leave out the bacon):
http://www.crookedkitchen.com/2009/07/19/southern-style-romano-beans/
I always have trouble using zucchini and tomatoes. As far as the english peas, I like to do them very simply - shell, boil for 2 minutes, then drain and into a saute pan with some butter, shallots, and herbs. Season with salt and taste continually while cooking and adjusting the seasoning, until they're just where you want them.
I have to admit I've never cooked kohlrabi, and I never end up buying cauliflower. Broccoli I like steamed not too long, with some salt and butter.
-
Roasting cauliflower for cauliflower soup adds a nice difference to the taste.
-
Butter is bad for you heart. Popcorn is bad for your teeth. Pepsi make you want to go to the bathroom...
and Pepsi is bad for my bones, too, but yesterday I was tossing all caution to the wind ;D

I'm baking a chicken. Having what some people would call a new england dinner with it. It's vegetables boiled with corn beef. I have greens and dumplings too!! Making gravy to have with it. Freshly baked banana bread or cherries from our own tree for dessert. Can't wait - it smells so good!!! This is a traditional Newfoundland dinner!!
-
Bought a rotisserie chicken yesterday.. Made enchiladas with it last night and chicken salad in pita bread today.. There will still be chicken left. Any suggestions?
-
Tonight, curried broccoli soup. I didn't have a blender handy, so I tried to use a potato masher. It didn't work as well as I had hoped. It would have turned out better as curried creamed broccoli, but it still tasted very good.
The remnants of an onion, chopped, plus two cloves of garlic, chopped, sweated in olive oil until soft. Then a spoonful of Thai massaman curry paste and some extra turmeric and mixed chili powder, fried along with the onions and garlic. Then I added a crown of broccoli, chopped up pretty small, a cup of chicken broth, and half a cup of water. Simmered that for half an hour, then mashed it up the best I could with a masher. Then I added a bit of cream, stirred it all up, and tasted. Added lemon juice and cayenne pepper, then ate a bowlful.
Edit:
Oh, and breakfast was scrambled eggs with chorizo. Just Mexican pork chorizo browned in a pan, with some chopped onion and jalapeno, then two eggs scrambled in. I ate them on top of a split toasted English muffin.
-
Chicken marinated in buttermilk, roasted in the oven with a little lemon pepper, a lovely salad and home made bread.
What a keeper meal that was!!

Grilled salmon on saffron basmati rice with dried cranberry bits, almond and pistachio slivers. Salad on the side. For dessert a store bought mixed fruit tart (fruits on custard in a thin almond flour tart shell). I bought the tart to celebrate my lower potassium.

Okay, I was really lazy and we had clam chowder and Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich and have cheesecake for dessert. To hot to be cooking here. :cuddle;

why do you marinate chicken in buttermilk and what is the recipe
-
pour some buttermilk over chicken. even I could guess that
-
I think it tenderizes the chicken as well as helping it to stay nice and moist instead of getting dried out by baking. I often use yogurt like this too. Mix in some tandoori spices and then bake.
-
Twirl, do you keep a lot of Tandori spices in your cupboard?
-
Use any spices you like...cajun, herbs, make your own spice rub, jerk spice etc etc. Tandoori spice is very very nice however and perhaps I should send some to Twirl if she can't get it where you live.
-
pour some buttermilk over chicken. even I could guess that
are you being a smart ass ??????? :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
and wth is tandori --- no self respecting Texan ever heard of that there stuff
or tandoori --- either way GET A ROPE -- ( remember picante commericals)
-
New York City???
-
You just cant get a straight answer, can ya Twirl. It is just pour the buttermilk over the chicken, and some how it makes it tender and very moist. Use any spice you like best. I really like that lemon pepper. And then roast, or fry or bake. I baked. And it's really good.
-
I've used buttermilk for fried chicken and yogurt for tandoori chicken. Not anymore, because my phosphorus is so out of control and I have no idea how much phosphorus actually sticks around from the buttermilk/yogurt soak.
It supposedly tenderizes the chicken, but I don't know the chemistry behind it. Sounds a little voodoo-ish to me. I just do it because it leaves a nice viscous wet batter on the chicken so that the flour sticks and makes a really nice crust when frying.
Tonight, nothing special aside from half a big bottle of Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout. Really thick beer, tastes almost like dark roasted mocha.
-
:clap; We had stuffed green peppers. Not bad.
-
we are having rain soup for dinner :2thumbsup; we got rain and had to stay in the house -- :bow;
-
I love buttermilk marinated chicken and stuffed peppers, but I'd much rather have some of Twirls rain.......
I had two peanut butter crackers and a piece of edwards lemon pie (single slice) and a big cup of cold water.
-
I want the big cup of water
and what is the recipe for buttermilk chicken and peppers
throw the buttermilk away and add green peppers and bake the chicken?
and I have no fancy spices ---
:waiting;

I just got what I wanted for supper delivered. It's RAIN.

I spent all day cooking chili (http://www.crookedkitchen.com/2009/08/13/the-chili-con-carne-project/)! Got back around 2pm from my appointment with the PD nurse and grocery shopping, and right away started cooking. Four and a half hours later, it was ready to eat, but it won't truly be done until tomorrow. An overnight sit in the fridge always makes chili better.
-
Nice blog and interesting recipes Restorer.

Thanks Zach, it looks good, no beans tho, huh?
-
I am thinking we need a whole lot of humble pie and maybe eat some crow :rofl; :rofl; Although, chili sounds so much better!
-
Jean - the recipe is on my blog:
http://www.crookedkitchen.com/2009/08/13/the-chili-con-carne-project/
Beware, it's pretty involved, but you should be able to find all the ingredients. Beef chuck is on sale at Albertsons and Ralphs through Tuesday, and chorizo is on sale at Albertsons.
No beans, because my phosphorus is so much of a problem, but that's what the masa roux is for - thickening the sauce. The chorizo gives the sauce a lot of heartiness too. If you want to use beans, I'd say add three or four cans of beans, or cook up a pound of dried beans separately, and add them after the oven-braising step, and let it all simmer another 30 minutes or so. You can probably also skip the masa roux, since some of the beans usually break up and thicken the chili on their own. I like pinto beans and black beans. No kidney beans in my chili. :D
To stretch my chili, I also bought a couple of cans of hominy to substitute for the beans. When I decide I want that instead of straight chili, I'll ladle some of the chili sauce into a pan, add a bit of water, and some drained hominy, and cook that until I'm happy with it, then add it to my bowl of chili.
My chili's relatively mild (compared to what I usually make), so if you can handle it hotter, I'd recommend adding a small can of chipotles en adobo.
Edit:
I forgot to mention - since you're in my area, you should check out Sunland Produce on the corner of Sunland Blvd. and Glenoaks. They have a huge amount of produce at really good prices. That's where I get all my fresh and dried chiles.
-
Is hominy something to do with grits? lol
-
grits are made of ground up hominey. And taste much better. Hominey is some kind of dried corn kernels and is kind of nasty.
-
Hominy is a type of corn - the third type aside from sweet corn and popcorn. It's the kind that grain-type corn products are made from - masa, cornmeal, grits, etc. When it's processed with alkali and cooked, it makes a good starch. Big, soft, starchy kernels.
http://www.foodsubs.com/Photos/whitehominy.jpg
Grits are made from coursely-ground dry hominy. In Mexico, whole hominy is called posole, and it's used in a stew of the same name, similar to chili.
-
and posole don't taste too good either. smells a little lik menduo (not the singing group)
-
Maybe you just don't like pork? Or maybe cumin?
The posole I've made (the stew) had been some of the best pork I've eaten. Really, it's just pork stewed with chiles, spices, and hominy. And I rather like hominy. :beer1;
-
Nope, I just don't like hominey...
-
me either
-
I wasn't a big fan of posle either for a long time but last few times i have had some it was awesome!

My husband made potato, zucchini and carrot pancakes for me for dinner tonight. The kids actually ate them. :yahoo; I never feel like eating anymore, but I enjoyed these and was able to eat three (and they were not small!) My husband remarked that it tasted like bhaji.
Yesterday I suggested that my husband try the buttermilk marinade that was being discussed on here, since we have so much chicken from the meat CSA. He used a tandori for himself and a garam masala for the kids (no chiles). He made sort of a faux peshwari rice by dropping dried cranberries, raisins and pine nuts in with jasmine rice, and baked naan from the co-op. I was able to eat a bit of the rice. The carnivores absolutely loved the chicken, and I'm sure it was a nice change from the bottle of Soyaki my husband usually breaks out whenever someone says the word 'chicken'. :clap;

I was craving one of those Bisquick cheeseburger pies the other day. (Hamburger in a pie plate, covered with a mix of bisquick, milk, egg, onions and cheese. Bake in the oven, and when it turns into a cheesy, eggy sort of pie, all brown on top, you top with tomatoes and sprinkle a bit more cheese on and roast the tomatoes.) I had it mostly mixed when I realized I didn't have any cheddar, like the recipe calls for. I did have a tubby of feta, though, so that's what I added. 1/4 in the mix, and 1/4 cup reserved to sprinkle on the top. (Okay, not renal-friendly, but sometimes ya just gotta!) Oooooooh - yummy! I like the feta version even better than the cheddar one. But then, who doesn't love roasted tomatoes with warm feta?
I had it for dinner again tonight. Break out the binders!
-
I love those Bisquick pies. Even the custard one is good. I had a tuna sandwich, and then another one later, and lets not forget the good old popsicle. Grape, yummy !!!! I think I will have a cherry one now.

I had a can of soup... chicken and egg noodles (medium sodium but I've had low bp most of the day so it is ok, I think. (and I like peanut butter and crackers with soup)... wish I had some homemade soup.
-
I only eat homemade soup because I dont ever have a low bp issue. My fave to make (and eat) is potato cheddar.....dang that potassium!
-
What's the deal about soaking the potatoes??? I don't know any soups easy enough to make or else they take all the food processors and stuff I don't have.
-
I think chicken noodle is the easiest...and no fancy smancy stuff required!
-
Hers a good soup Dan.
Get a box of low sodium chicken broth, put it in a pot. About a half pound of ground beef, season it if you would like, make tiny little meatballs and drop them in the heating broth. One bunch of escarole, washed, cut up, drop into soup.
Italian Wedding Soup. Good.

Hartz chicken buffet??? Oh you and my hubby would get along oh so well!

I brought the chicken home wrapped in paper towels to give
Yogi, Slugger and Lady Bird

Nothing sounds good... don't know what I have?
Now I remember. I had a taco bell taco at noon. My advise to all is DONT DO THAT EVER.
-
I made homemade mac and cheese for supper. Yummy!!
-
I had a slice of kraft single wrapped American cheese on a saltine cracker. Not too Yummy.
-
DW.. I would not have wanted dinner at your house tonight! lol
I had wings from Hooters. Not so good for you.
-
Dan, you have GOT to start eating more.
Try this one, since you have no diet restrictions.
In the crockpot, or in the oven. One chuck roast, two or more peeled potatoes. Some carrots if you like them, pour over it a can of golden mushroom soup. Wonderful, and left overs for days.

Yummy in my tummy. :o

Jean, sounds like one of my favorites we used to call pot roast. Problem is I've tried it a couple of times and never comes out tasting good. Wrong cut of meat, or something.
But actually last night I had two slices of the chesse on four crackers, so I at more than it sounded.
-
Chuck roast Dan, cooked long and slow, maybe 3 hours at 325. This is just so good. Try it again. You are not eating enough. Are you trying to get a fashion model figure? And, Zach, next time I make it you are invited for dinner. You too Dan.
-
3 hours? and then you have to was pots and stuff... I could get a shower and go out and get something in less time and with less work than that.
Ok, tonight I started to make a turkey bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. Forgot about toasting bread so I chopped up tomatos and lettuce and crumbled the turkey and ate it as a salad thing. Also drank a glass of freshly squeezed oj. Having ice cream and coke zero for dessert now. My culinary skills are improving, right Restorer and Ina?
-
I cooked cod fish tongues tonight!! Here is a pic of them frying. They were crispy and delicious. For those of you who think eating anythings tongue is gross think about where eggs come from LOL!!!
-
Good thing I already ate.
-
Cod fish tongues? You have to catch a lot of cod fish to end up with that many tongues! I love you, Del ----but! YUCK!!!
-
Yea, Del, we love you but we don't want to eat with you.
-
del- I bet if I didnt know what is was I would like it!!
-
They are delicious!! Just like a piece if fish fried crispy. No bad taste at all. If I didn't tell you what they were you would love them. They are a delicacy here!! We caught 49 cod fish when the season was open!!
-
I'd rather have your apple pie :2thumbsup; :clap;
-
I'll take the cabbage rolls....uh oh, you didn't stuff them with fish tongues did you?
-
Nope - plain old hamburger meat and rice in the cabbage rolls. House smells delicious with th smell of aple pie and the cabbage rolls.
-
Save some for me! I'll even try the cod fish tongues! :rofl;
-
Codfish tongues are delicious, if you like fish at all they're like the choicest possible nuggets! If you detest all fish and seafood, you will hate them, otherwise, they're brilliant.
-
DW, I'll eventually do a post on pot roast on my blog. It's actually much simpler than it sounds, since practically all of the time that goes into it is just sitting in the oven. I'd do a post sooner, but we just made pot roast and still have leftovers, and I didn't get any pictures.
-
DW.. I would not have wanted dinner at your house tonight! lol
I had wings from Hooters. Not so good for you.
if you eat dinner with crawford -- it is not the food - it is the company that keeps you coming back for more!
-
DW anything in the slow cooker is easy . Just throw everything in and leave it. No worries of it burning either LOL!! I'm famous for burning things up because I am usually trying to do too many things at once!!! I use the slow cooker a lot!!
-
Twirl... how nice... thanks.
Del... I think I have a slow cooker underneath the cabinet somewhere. Wonder if it would ever come clean?
-
It will come clean dw with a little soaking and scrubbing!!! Makes things a lot easier. Make a big pot of something then divide it up in individual portions and freeze it. I do that with stuff all the time. Makes for a good meal when you don't feel like cooking!!
-
Del, have you frozen cabbage rolls? I always make such a big batch, but have never tried freezing them. Thanks.
-
I haven't frozen them before but I did this time. We'll see how they turn out. I don't think when I make that recipe again I'll use the full tsp of cayenne pepper - too hot!!! It was hot as the >:D LOL
-
hot as hell cabbage rolls where is the recipe :pray;
-
The recipe said 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper in the hamburger meat and 1/2 tsp in the sauce. Too hot for me!!! That was the only thing in them to make them hot. They were tasty though!!! I will make them again just with a lot less cayenne pepper!! :beer1;
-
Just had a Charlies Barbeque beef sandwich for lunch and some homemade coconut custard pie. I'll skip supper unless something good turns up.
-
Since I spent 3 hours at the nephs office today, no time to make dinner, so we " dined" out. Carl Jr's drive thru. The new Big Carls is really good, and so were the cross cut fries. Okay I will start being " officially" good tomorrow.
-
Last night, a slow-roasted pork loin with chipotle-barbecue flavors. Small Yukon Gold potatoes sliced about half an inch thick, boiled, then cooked with some butter and fresh thyme in a pan until crispy around the edges. Frozen asparagus, steamed in the microwave.
-
I think I'll go out for sushi tonight. I'll have a spicy crab maki (roll) and a dynamite maki, both of which have no raw fish but I will have one tiny order of white tuna sashimi. Maybe I'll throw in a seaweed salad with cold steamed shrimp. I trust this place with their raw fish although I still eat very little of it.
-
I fried moose steaks tonight (t bones) They were very juicy,tender and tasty. Just the right amount of spice. Had fresh peaches and cream corn on the cob. I also potatoes mashed with 95% fat free cream cheese and fat sour cream mixed in then whipped with electric mixer. It was delicious!!
-
you eat moose -- any kin to Bull Winkle J Moose ? WTH ( what the heck )
do you have moose season like we have deer season ---
???
-
I fixed Salisbury steak with mushroom gravy, egg noodles and fresh squash with onions. It tasted good but I am sick of cooking. :cuddle;
-
We're using the last of my husband's pasta sauce that he makes any time we have too much veg and not enough time to think of different things to do with it all. He takes any tomatoes we have and throws them in a saucepan with some olive oil, basil, and veg - this time I think it was carrots, different colored bell peppers, green beans, onion, and assorted squash - purees it and done. I love the sauce. Usually I am a salt fanatic, but this has no added salt, just what comes from a few sliced olives and some parm that we add after the fact. We use it on tagliatelle, and even the kids eat it with enough added cheese. :clap;
Oh, don't suppose anyone has any ideas for fennel (the fresh stuff)? We received a load of it in our CSA box yesterday, and are pretty well stumped as to what to do with it.
-
Another night of dining out, this time at Farmer Boys, I had a cobb salad wrap, darn those things are good. I need to learn how to make Cobb Salad.
-

Sauce sounds great. Never thought of squash but nice idea.
I love fennel in any stir fry and it is also excellent as a salad with sliced oranges and a citrus vinaigrette. I like to slice it with a mandoline. Thinly sliced red onions are nice too if you like onions.
At Christmas I use fennel in a stuffing recipe along with pears, toasted almonds, prosciutto, onions and wholegrain baguette. I occasionally grill it just brushed with olive oil.
-
Ooooo, thanks willieandwinnie and monrein for the fennel suggestions! I cannot wait to try these! :flower;
-
I love fennel. Have only eaten it out or at friends but I think I can make that salad. Thanks.
-
I like to slice it with a mandoline.
I used to play the mandoline. :o
-
I like to slice it with a mandoline.
I used to play the mandoline. :o
Man Zach, so that's how you lost your fingers!!! On a mandoline. Shame really. I tried slicing fennel once with a mandolin but nothing much happened so I gave up. ;D
-
I guess you can use fennel like you'd use celery, It seems (to me) to have the same kind of texture, just a different flavor. Then again, I've never cooked with fennel.
Last night we had cedar plank salmon, basmati rice with dill, cucumber salad, and globe squash.
The sockeye salmon filets we marinated with lemon juice, dill, and salt while they defrosted, then sprinkled salt and dill on the outside, put them on a soaked cedar plank, and put that on indirect heat on the grill for 20 minutes. They came out just cooked through and flaky, with a bit of smoky flavor from the plank.
The cucumber salad was just peeled, sliced cucumbers, white wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and a little dill, mixed them left to sit in the fridge for a half-hour or so.
The globe squash was interesting. We wanted to be experimental, so we bought a few different types of produce we'd never tried before. The globe squash was called "eight-ball squash" on the sign at the market, and each was about the size and shape of a pool ball. We just cut them in half, steamed them in the microwave, then tossed with salt and olive oil. It tasted just like good zucchini.
We also bought Asian pears and jujubes to taste. The jujubes are apparently also called "red dates", and they're usually used dried, like dates or raisins. We tasted them fresh, and they were kinda like dry, boring apples. The Asian pears were good, though.
-
Restorer, I love and miss Asian pears (have not seen them in the midwest, and even if I found them, I am sure they would not be as good as ones from the CA open markets). I also used to like jujubes - in fact, I breifly took a drug that made me crave sugar ALL THE TIME (disturbing - not actually a sugar fan usually) and I would eat jujubes constantly. They tasted like pure sugar to me. Apparently, the more wrinkled you let the skin get, the sweeter they are. Very dry, though. Have you ever tried dragon fruit? We bought one at great expense at our local open market in CA. Visually amazing, definitely not worth the $7 we paid for a medium sized fruit. However, we soaked some of it in coconut milk and left it to chill in the fridge, and it was perhaps the most refreshing dessert I have ever eaten.
Tonight I had roasted potatoes for dinner, with a handful of 365 cheese curls when I was cleaning the kitchen. And 2 Newman's Own sandwich cookies (Oreos) for dessert. I didn't enjoy any of it. :( I am back to not wanting to eat anything. I am enjoying my Izze sparkling clementine soda right now, though. :clap;
-
Planked salmon is one of my all time faves. I like wild salmon best but it's expensive so I use a variety. I like to make a quick fresh pesto with basil, parsley,lemon zest, black pepper, (I skip the salt) lemon juice and olive oil then I lay it on thick on top of the fillets and onto the soaked plank.
I do use fennel instead of celery quite often...soups, stews, stir fries.
Tonight I had a serious salad...mesclun mix of baby lettuces and radicchio, radish slices, red and yellow pepper strips, thinly sliced red onions, sliced grape tomatoes, toasted sunflower seeds, raw mushroom slices, lardons, (double smoked bacon that's cut into small cubes and sauteed till fat is rendered out and bacon is browned...a big serving of salad would have about a teaspoon of lardons). Balsamic vinaigrette made creamy by adding some ripe avocado. Homemade parmesan croutons.
Kitchen sink salad.
-
cariad, I tasted both a mostly-green jujube, and a fully-brown-but-not-very-wrinkled jujube. Neither really impressed me. Do they ripen like bananas, can I just leave them out until they turn brown and wrinkled and then eat them?
I've never tried dragonfruit, I don't think, but I've seen it. Those exotic fruits just never really called out to me, except for fresh passionfruit. There was a farmer at the Santa Barbara farmer's market that sold fresh passionfruit - he was giving out samples, and it's really good. Tastes exactly like anything passionfruit-flavored, like iced tea, but sour and a little sweet.
I know what you mean about not wanting to eat anything. I'm at that point right now. I just spent a few hours just lying in bed watching TV.
monrein, planked salmon sounds good to me in theory, but I haven't really liked it when I've had it. I thought it was just my father's way of preparing it (which I suspected was overcooking), but the way we did it matched the recipes I looked up. I would like to try it with a stronger marinade, rub, or pesto.
And that sounds like a really good salad. I got radishes yesterday, but never got around to eating them. I bet that vinaigrette would have been even better if it had been based on the bacon grease. :D
I have some salad mix and bacon... maybe I'll go out and get some more veggies and make a kitchen sink salad too. :2thumbsup;

Good question, I'm not sure if the jujubes will continue to ripen. When we were in LA, we always had to keep our produce in the fridge because it was so hot. They may have gotten a little more wrinkled as time went on. They did seem to last forever - maybe up to a month. If you still have some, try leaving them out and see.
I did not know you could eat passionfruit raw - for some reason I thought it had to be cooked. I'll have to give it a try next time I see it. I love persimmon from the LA open markets, but of course, I love the variety that has the highest potassium. Probably just as well that persimmon is not common to find in the midwest. I would also probably mortgage the house to get cherimoya - love it. It's only available at a very high cost here, and thankfully, only for a few weeks.
I grew up in SB, first in Hope Ranch, and my parents have lived in Montecito for about 20 years now. Are you talking about the market on State St? I have not been back in so long, but I do miss that town. Ah, Santa Barbara.... :guitar:
Sorry you're not up to eating, either. It is disturbing to see foods I know I love (or used to) and have no interest. Hope you feel better!
-
When I was living in SB, I saw a lot of cherimoyas at the Farmer's Markets, mostly from the avocado ranchers on the off-season. I never bought any, though, so I don't remember the prices.
I tended to mostly visit the Tuesday afternoon farmer's market on lower State St., and the Sunday morning market at the Camino Real Center. I also made a few trips to the Saturday morning market downtown, a couple blocks off of State St. That one is huge.
I'm thinking about making some sort of curry shrimp tonight. I got some frozen "Argentinian Red Shrimp" from Trader Joe's that, I hear, is more like lobster or langostines than shrimp.
-
did they mail you the shrimp
and what was the cost
isn't Trader Joe's a mail order company
-
you eat moose -- any kin to Bull Winkle J Moose ? WTH ( what the heck )
do you have moose season like we have deer season ---
???
Yes we do have moose season twirl. Hubby has a license this year and we can start hunting on Sept 12. A friend of ours has a farm and there are a few moose on his farm eating his veggies so we are going to go to his farm the first day and hopefully get one!!! Shoulsd be tasty after eating veggies LOL!! Twirl moose are the largest member of the deer family!!! They taste really good too!!
-
I havnt had moose in many years.
In newfoundland we also eat well at least we did, seal flipper soup.
Also use to like bruins but cant get them here.
-
bruins?
-
It is like a very hard biscuit (cant bite it) you soak it in water till soft warm it add butter and sugar and eat away.
I may have the name wrong? been many many years.

It is brewis!!! and I am having it with fish for supper!! yes twirl it is like hardtack. You soak it overnight to soften it before you cook it the next day. Bet you know what scrunchions are too paul.karen
-
LOl I was close.
Yes same thing as hardtack twirlgirl :thumbup;
Scrunchions? Chances are i have tried them but im not sure.
Refresh me on what they are. Im thinking crispy onions by the name?
-
Nope not crispy onions but they are crispy. It is fat back pork cut up in little cubes and fried really crunchy. personally I don't like them but a lot of people do especially over brewis and codfish. It was very common in Newfoundland to fry things with salt fat back pork.They would fry the pork to get the grease out and then use the grease to fry things. I never do - I never really liked it even though when I was growing up mom fried most things in it. I cringe when I think about people using it!! I can almost see it clinging to the arteries!!
-
Dinner out with a friend last night...organic salmon on a baby spinach salad with roasted fennel and fresh orange segments. Really nice combo. Not sure what the dressing was but it wasn't overpowering.
-
Last night we had take out chicken. Don't have that often so it was a treat. I was glad it wasn't greasy like it is sometimes - We always remove most of the batter anyway!!
-
Had one small hamburger patty, 1/2 cup mac n cheese, and my new fave, cauliflower salad. Cut up the cauliflower into small pieces, marinate 12 hours in Italian dressing, drain, and add 1/2 cup mayo and 1/4 cup parmesan. Very tasty and very different. I wonder if it could be cooked first, then marinated.
-
We had pasta with veg sauce again, and were able to scatter chopped Italian flat leaf parsley, fresh from our CSA box, over the top (not for the kids). Half a glass of wine, half a slice of bread, and a glass of water.
For after dinner, my husband is making a fig and goat cheese crostata for me. I do not think I can eat anymore tonight, but he has already started, so I will try a slice to be sociable. The kids do not like it, so it will just be he and I, watching a video and sipping wine with dessert. :wine;
-
That sounds so good. Figs and goat cheese are delicious together.
-
I've been on a spicy, garlicky shrimp kick. Last night I had shrimp sauteed in olive oil with lots of sliced garlic, dried red chiles, the remnants of a chopped white onion and hot yellow peppers, then topped with cilantro, and I used up an entire demi-baguette dipping pieces into the garlic oil and sauce. It was good, but not perfect - I missed the salt, and it was too spicy for its own good.
I did it again today for lunch to try and improve on it. I cooked half a head of peeled garlic cloves in olive oil in a small pot until they were brown and well cooked, then used some of that oil plus two more minced garlic cloves and one red chile to quickly cook the shrimp. Then I added a bit of vermouth and some sherry vinegar to turn it into a sauce. It got a sprinkle of smoked paprika and cilantro over the top. These were really good, and good with the bread too.
Then tonight I was still in the mood for shrimp, so I used up the rest making shrimp ceviche. Lemon juice, a touch of cider vinegar, salt, minced garlic, a quarter of a chopped white onion. I cooked the shrimp in lemon water just for a minute (from frozen), then cooled them off quickly, and then let them marinate for about an hour. I put in a chopped yellow chile and a couple dried red chiles too.
Now I'm out of shrimp, but if I'm still on the kick I might try to make a better ceviche tomorrow with a seafood mix (scallops, calamari, and small shrimp) I got from Trader Joe's.
-
I love ceviche, as long as it is not over cooked. :yahoo;
Hartz all you can eat chicken --- I only want the vegetables and fruit and tea - no sugar -
I sneak a couple of pieces of chicken in my purse to give to my three pets --
I figure it is not stealing - I paid for the meal -- and I only take two pieces --
and if they stop me at the door - they can have it back
-
Lobster pizza. Thin crispy whole wheat crust, fresh tomatoes finely diced, fresh chopped basil and not too much cheese (about a tablespoon for an eight inch pizza). Fresh corn on the cob, picked today.
Now the dessert part...I'm thinking of a walk to the Baskin Robbins for a scoop of Perils of Praline (low fat frozen yogurt that tastes like 20 grams of fat instead of the 4 that it really is).
-
Lobster pizza, oh wow!!!!
For me, barbecued rib steak and salad.
-
I had 1/2 of a chicken scallopini. The other 1/2 I cut up and put in my salad for lunch tomorrow. I love the prepared foods at Whole Foods - although a bit expensive! We also got a mini-garlic bread to go with our chicken and cheese stuffed ravioli we're having for dinner tomorrow night.
-
Lobster pizza sounds delicious!!! I had a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Yum!!!
-
Kung pao chicken and black pepper chicken, with white rice, from (erk) Panda Express. Yummy, but a little over the top. At least I don't eat there more than once every couple of weeks.
Over on Twitter, I got up the nerve to ask Rick Bayless what I should do with some of the hot dried chiles (http://twitter.com/crookedkitchen/status/3804503279) I have, other than salsa. He recommended I fry them in oil with peanuts, garlic, and salt (http://twitter.com/Rick_Bayless/status/3807045918) as a snack. It sounds really good.
In case you don't know him, Rick Bayless is a pretty famous chef of Mexican food. He's done shows on PBS, and recently he won the Top Chef Masters competition. It's pretty cool that he's so available on Twitter that I can ask a question and get some advice. :)
With that recipe in my head, tonight before I got my kung pao chicken I fried up some of those dried peppers until they smelled like popcorn. I added three into my kung pao, and I have the rest sitting here that I'll try to snack on (yes, they'll blow my head off, but that's the fun part!). :D >:D
-
my hero, I know who Rick Bayless is :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: i love heat >:D >:D >:D

carrot and raisin salad (i don't want to hear a word)
-
:-X (We need a silent smiley.) ;D
-
Nothing!!!!!!! Not now, not ever. Anything you eat is bad for you. I am going to live on water and nothing else. :sarcasm; I was doing so well on the low potassium diet and then they gave me the renal diet. Now I am so confused, I no longer know what in the devil to eat.
-
b-b-que, marinated pork chops and corn on the cob.
-
Yum! Over the river and through the woods to "thegrammalady's" house I go! :guitar:

I know where eggs come from but I don't eat the butt holes.....

Twirl (Cheryl) my very good friend with whom I can joke and be silly all the time:
Do you lately have a fixation on butt holes? That's the third time I've seen you reference them in posts or e-mails within the past few days. Anything we need to talk about? :rofl;

Oooooo, thank you for the Rick Bayless reminder! I tried one of his recipes from Mexico A Plate at a Time (I think that's the right name) last year and it was so awesome. I have been in a vegetarian rut lately, but I looked up his recipe for Ha'Si Kil Pac again, and bought pepitas yesterday. Today, the preparing begins.... Oh, and that is very cool that he answers questions on twitter. Good for you for asking him! :clap;

I had the most delicious and juicy tomato fresh out of the garden with mayo on fresh italian bread sandwich, I hate it when summer is comming to an end and all the fresh veggies and fruit end. :banghead;
-

That is my favorite sandwich! A fresh tomato still warm from the sun, mayo and some wonderful bread. Heavenly! Or just eat it like an apple. :2thumbsup;
-
What's the deal about Fried Green Tomatoes? Is that just a saying. Last year I planted tomoatoes, etc. looking forward to a vine ripe one. I got two good ones and three with bird pecks.

oh, I was defending the egg :waving;
-
Fried green tomatoes are wonderful! But, here, we love everything deep fried :rofl; They really are good and are on a lot of restaurant menus here. Yummy!
I made cabbage rolls today because Del made some a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for the idea, Del. :cuddle;
-
Last night I had fried breaded okra (frozen and prebreaded) , field peas with snap (frozen) and I wanted a homemade tomato to bad. Would have been a perfect meal... and yes, there's enough for leftovers.
-
The tomato would have made that a great meal (except I hate okra --- fried, in stew, anyway at all - yuck!) :rofl;

WOW - my dream meal -- no kidding
I had a seafood platter at Benno's in Galveston but I would rather have had your meal --
I could eat fried okra and field peas until the cows come home -- I like to eat a fresh tomato like an apple --- ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
wait -- reading between the lines --- is a fresh tomato -- a female or a vegetable ?
that in bed part -- got me thinking :clap; :clap;
-
That is so funny Cheryl. As a kid I always wrote the menu for my birthday dinner. That was one of three things you could expect at my house on my birthday from ages 3 to 39 (but fresh tomatoes were a requirement!!!
Tomato is a fruit, not a female. The British part of me morphed into Texan years ago. A Brit with field peas? Get serious! A chick, however, would not refer to garbanzo beans....
-
last nite we were planning on grilling, however yesterday it was only about 50 degrees with lots of rain. now i've been known to barbecue in the snow, however a torrential downpour, forget it. so april and i cheated, on our diet and on the budget, off to applebee's we went. we had broccoli cheese soup, spinach appetizer and i had RIBS!!! what a lovely relaxing way to end the day.
-
Applebee's? Why didn't you get the 2 for one special with 1 appetizer, 2 entrees and dessert? Don't you pay any attention to TV commercials?
-
We don't have an Applebee's near by, but we have taken advantage of the Chili's appetizers, 2 meals, and desert for $20. Plenty of food.
Anyway, tonight we are having meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans by order of the husband.
-
My son put a pork roast and a chicken in the smoker. We had boiled okra, corn and parmesan pasta, and barbeque bread. Then we had Italian Creme Cake for dessert. I laid low on the pork and cake. But it was
all ggggggood.
Love, Mimi
-
Boiled dinner tonight---ham, cabbage and potatoes. Not renal friendly,but tasty!

Chicken ( again) boiled noodles, and fresh carrots, which are so good. Dessert? Crunch and Munch, oooooh.
-
Ham, cabbage, and potatoes sound good. I LOVE cabbage, but usually boil it with sausage -sometimes venison sausage.
Paris, do you put everything in the same pot and boil? What spices do you add, if any?
-
Applebee's? Why didn't you get the 2 for one special with 1 appetizer, 2 entrees and dessert? Don't you pay any attention to TV commercials?
that's exactly what we had. 2 dinners plus appetizer for $20. we ordered the soup extra, because it was raining and cold but didn't have to pay for us. the server took quite a while to get to us and gave it to us on the house. they have a new menu here in colorado which includes ribs.
-
Mimi barbecued bread?
Paris -- you throw cabbage, ham and potatoes in a pot and boil?
sounds so good
crawford -- you only pm'ed me once today --- are you mad at me :waving;
-
I been getting my blood changed. Forgot to take the laptop.
-
chicken and baked potatoes. (i know, i know, and i still don't want to hear about it. nocturnal gives you percs.) :popcorn;
-
I'm think Boston Market??? :puke;
-
are you still the one on the right? :rofl;
-
Just had some canned corned beef hash with an egg. I guess it satisfied the craving, but it wasn't as good as I had hoped.
-
damn restorer. I was hoping for a good suggestion for supper.
Yes, twirl. I told you that.
-
No salmon for tonight. Guess I will have a can of cream of chicken soup. Oh well
-
Beldon's usually has salmon in lemon curry sauce. MMMM, be right back.
-
I had stirfry and whole grain rice.
-
Leftover meatloaf... just doesn't taste the same after the first time.
-
Left over meat loaf sandwiches??? come on. So yummmy
-
I love leftover meatloaf sandwiches! White bread with ketchup. Now I have to make a meatloaf!
-
DW, if I had the energy and money, I'd be making carnitas. Braise a pork butt in orange juice, lime juice, chile puree, and tequila until it's just barely falling apart, then pull it into chunks and fry the chunks in lard. :2thumbsup;
And then eat that on double corn tortillas, topped with chopped white onion and cilantro, maybe some hot fresh salsa.
-
leftover meatloaf (how was I supposed to know that?)
-
Oh my god, I had carnitas last week but didn't know what it was. Been asking everybody. So good.
-
Oh Dan, you make me laugh. :rofl;
-
after the carnitas you have the heartattak
-
Yes Twirl, Barbeque bread. Colonial makes it and it is good.
Tonight we had -guess- meat loaf, along with blackeyed peas and cornbread, the rest of the boiled okra, and the rest of the Italian Creme Cake.
Yummy, yum, yum.
Love, Mimi
-
Tonight we ended up making Swiss steak / pepper steak. My grandmother used to call it Swiss steak, and Alton Brown's recipe was very similar and he calls it Swiss steak, but my mother insists it's pepper steak. Usually made with round, but we used what we had - beef flap meat (similar to skirt steak).
Flattened and tenderized the meat with a mallet, seasoned it with salt and pepper, then dredged lightly in flour. Browned the steaks in vegetable oil in a dutch oven in batches (taking them out when browned), then sauteed onion, celery, garlic and carrots in the same pot. Then added a tablespoon of tomato paste, half a large can of tomatoes, smooshed up in the pan, and a can of beef broth, along with oregano, worcestershire, and smoked paprika. The steaks braised in that for 2 hours, then we ate it with rice.
Someone asked me for a picture after I had started eating, so here's the half-eaten plate of food: :rofl; http://twitpic.com/hsjpx
It's probably better with round. The flap meat, braised like that for a long time, pulled apart into long strands, kinda like a chuck pot roast, but more so. But it was still very good, despite not being my usual dinner of something hot or spicy. :D
-
It was a bit chilly over the weekend here too so I soaked some beans over night and made a big pot of beans and ham soup. It was so good and even better a day or two latter but now the remainder had to be frozen.... getting tired of it.
I love to make soups and stews when the weather starts getting cooler and the veggies from the garder need to be used up and frozen for winter meals. :beer1;
-
Saurkraut and Weiners.... that's what I had for breakfast so have to eat the leftover tonight. Hardly qualities for the Yummy award.
-
who knows??? tonite is bingo nite (april works the session) so i'm on my own. the last two weeks i've had fish (april hates fish) tonite i just don't know. i may end up having a hamburger, there's pasta salad left???????????????????????who knows.

Hey Chis...your thoughts: Braised Butt or Smoked Butt?

Sounds like smoked butt would be better.
-
If I had a smoker, I'd go for smoked butt.
-
Anytime you all want smoked butt--- you know where to find it! Come on over and pull up a chair! Best smoked butt you will ever eat. :2thumbsup;
-
It would be the first smoked butt I would ever eat. It just seems more tastier than what Restorer described
-
pasta with homemade sauce :yahoo; full of garlic and onions. only 11am and it's already on the stove. :clap;
-
If the carnita from restorer is anything like what I ate last week is will be wondering. I'm going to try is but he'll have to give me some more directions.
-
Husband is having pork chop, creamed corn and fried potatoes. I, however, am having pasta with butter and parmesan cheese. A craving.
-
All depends on how involved you want to get. If I had a clean kitchen and all the ingredients, here's what I'd do:
Cut a 5-lb. pork butt/shoulder into pieces about 3" x 3" x 2", short dimension with the grain. Throw it in a dutch oven or other big heavy pot with a couple spoonfuls of frozen orange juice concentrate (the stuff that comes in cardboard cylinders), the juice of two limes, two quartered white onions, a head of peeled garlic cloves smashed on the counter, a big splash of tequila, Mexican oregano, bay leaves, salt and pepper, and enough water to cover the pork by two-thirds.
Get that simmering on the stove, then take 3 dried chiles de arbol (http://) and 4 or 5 dried guajillo chiles (http://), stem and seed them, toast them over a flame or under a broiler for a few seconds, then rehydrate with boiled water. Let them steep for 10 minutes, then put them in a blender with 2 chipotles from a can of chipotles en adobo, along with some of the adobo sauce, a tablespoon of cumin seeds, and a tiny piece of cinnamon. Add enough of the soaking liquid to let it blend, then puree it. Add that to the simmering pork.
Put the lid on the pot and put it all in a 275-degree oven for 2 or 3 hours. You'll know it's done when you can pull it into largish chunks that are very tender when you taste them (I recommend frequest "testing" :clap; ).
Pull all the pork out of the liquid and let it drain and cool until you can handle it. Pull it into large chunks. Heat an inch of lard or vegetable oil in a large skillet, and fry the chunks in batches until they have a nice crispy brown exterior.
Serve on double corn tortillas with chopped white onion, cilantro, and the salsa of your choice.
Of course... if you don't want to go through all that trouble, you can just do the braising step, substitute ground mild chile (ancho, pasilla, or New Mexico, if you can find it) and cumin, or in a pinch, regular blended chili powder. Spread the chunks out on a sheet pan and put them in a pretty hot oven (450 degrees or so) to brown and crisp them, if you want. Sometimes I just like the succulence of the braised pork in its juices. :)
-
We are going really simple here. Fried eggs and potatoes for me, same for the males except they will also have some leftover ham that came from the meat CSA.
Little trivia about us: we call potatoes tatws, which is Welsh, pronounced TAH-toos. It has been so long since I have said the word 'potato' that I had to stop and think what it is called in English before I typed this. I think it is brave of me to admit this. :rofl;
-
Steak on the BBQ and broccoli
-
Breakfast for dinner tonite. Pancakes and eggs.Yummy
-
Tonight I had grilled chicken breast, rice and peas & carrots.
-
Tonight we had "Lemony Shrimp Scampi Pasta". Whenever my mother cooks, she chooses a recipe from Food Network that matches what we have, and then she starts cooking, and then when I investigate she practically hands it all over to me to finish.
Recipe here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian/lemony-shrimp-scampi-pasta-recipe2/index.html
We only had fettucine, not linguine, so that's what we substituted. Our shrimp were also almost half the size of the shrimp called for, but it didn't affect anything. Very lemony, but I thought it actually could have used more garlic.
-
Jumbo shrimp on sale at the new HEB market. I think I could do that and I pass there after dialysis.
Last night, Pizza (freezer to oven). Dietician's orders again. Never in my life was I told over and over to EAT MORE. Never in my life did i have ao little appetite. Shrimp sounds great for tonight and should help.
-
going to have the littles tonite, so it's wendy's. (i refuse to go to mcdonalds)
-
For lunch, Sloppy Joes (not Manwich, or any sauce from a can) and watermelon.
Recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/the-ultimate-sloppy-joes-recipe/index.html
-
MMM, not to much for sloppy joes, but tyler florence Ultimate is my favorite show. I'll look at it when the site comes back up again.
Me for supper: Rib Eye steak, Curry couscous (box mix) and green beans (canned)... but most nutricious meal I've had in a while. Trying for protein. (last night... cold left over pizza... well, it had a little pepperoni (protein no?)
-
It's just a regular-tasting sloppy joe. Wasn't bad, but it wasn't especially exciting either. I wanted to try Bobby Flay's recipe, but it printed out to three pages and took dozens of ingredients.
-
I cooked a real meal tonight since Carl wasn't on the machine, yet. Sauteed some talapia in lemon butter sauce, brown rice and my own squash/tomato mix. Recipe: saute a couple cloves of garlic in butter, add sliced yellow and zucchini squash and cover to allow it to get well cooked, add chopped tomatoes and cover until tomatoes are just cooked then shake on fresh grated Parmesan. MMM.
I was thinking about sloppy joes the other day. Haven't had that for ages!
-
I had sloppy joes for dinner tonight, along with ( shamefully) Pringles!!!
-
I had a griled pork loin chop, rice with a mushroom sauce. Yum
-
I wasn't especially hungry for dinner tonight, so I just had the last of my popcorn (popped in a pan, of course 8) ) and then 20 minutes later the last of a loaf of good bread and a cherry tomato salad. I wanted some salami to go with the bread, but apparently it all got eaten. It hardly lasted a day.

Okay, what is the ONE thing a dialysis patient , or those one a renal diet eat, so much of that they will be so full, they never want to eat again. ( Hey, I dont know the answer, I am asking the question.)And if there are 2 or 3 things, even better.

If I drink a Nepro I'm not hungry for a long time. Sometimes at night I'm hungry so I'll get up and just have a swallow of Nepro and that coats my stomach so I can sleep. PM me if you want to know how to order just a six pack to try. I should be a sales person for them but I'm not.
-
i was at my daughters and we had chinese. probably too much salt, but hey i don't have it often. egg rolls are my favorite food. homemade chicken stir fry tonite.

If I eat cooked egg yolks, it makes me not want to eat for a long time, by upsetting my stomach slightly. But I think that's just me.
-
I made pinto beans in the crockpot today so they were ready when we came from shopping -- added one strip of bacon for flavor. YUM!
-

Tomorrow night I will be experiencing that blood appetite.... I am set for 5:15 and will only be on for 2 hours my first time..... I have not sat for two hours in a long time... usually during movie or what ever I am up and down.... I have never been able to sit for very long.... boy am I in for a treat......
-

Yesterday was Cindy's birthday. My son came in and we all went to
Red Lobster for dinner. I had the firewood lobster, scallops, and shrimp. Everyone else had all you can eat shrimp. I can't eat all you can eat cause I don't eat that much. It was delicioussssss......
-
I made my really really good spaghetti sauce and ate like a little pig. But, I am used to having it once a week, now it is more like once a month. But, sooooo good.
-
Last night was Monday night football so all met up at Pop's house. Had Frito pies and chili dogs. Good old fashion American food...haha
-
Little grocery store down the street (little expensive grocery store) shaves off beautiful slices of smoked salmon and makes it look so fancy and charges a ghastly amount. But the save all the "mistakes" in put in a little plastic container. You can but it really cheap. That's where I'm going.
-
Yum Danny that sounds good. With a little bit of cream cheese and crackers!
-
Last night, unsuccessful kung pao. I started cooking without the directions in front of me, so I ended up improvising, and it didn't turn out right. I'm looking for a specific flavor, and I missed the mark. It was still edible, and maybe even good, but not right. Once it cooled down, the smell was right, though. The chiles just didn't lend their heat or flavor to the rest of the dish, and there was too much sauce, and too much vinegar, and I totally forgot a big step so it came out very different.
Also, there may have been an issue with the chicken I used - if the rest of that package of chicken has the same problem, I might not be able to do anything with it. Otherwise, I'll try again once I get some chili bean sauce, which apparently is one big thing I was missing. So no recipe yet, don't want you coming back telling me it sucked, 'cause it did. :P :rofl;
-
Carls Jr tacos plate last night and a cookie.
-
I made a chicken ceaser salad for my supper.
-
I made a soup based on the Zuppa Toscana at Olive Garden. Olive oil, sweet Italian sausage, onions, garlic, tiny yellow potatoes cut in half, chicken broth, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, oregano, frozen spinach, and heavy cream.
Take three sausages out of their casings, brown with the olive oil and break up into not-too-small chunks in a pot. Set the cooked sausage aside, and saute a chopped onion and some chopped garlic cloves in the oil that's left. Add half a pound (or more) of these tiny yellow potatoes, just cut in half. Add chicken broth to cover plus an inch, and smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (lots), and oregano. Simmer 10 minutes, then add the sausage back, cook another 10 minutes. Taste it and adjust salt, then add about half a package of frozen spinach and bring back to a simmer so the spinach is just heated through. Turn off the heat, add 1/4 cup of heavy cream, stir, and serve with garlic bread. :clap;
I didn't bother making garlic bread :'( but I did have a nice demi-baguette to tear apart and dip.
This will eventually show up on my blog with pictures - when it does, I'll edit this post if I still can, or just make a new post with the link.
Edit, forgot to mention: After the potatoes were cooked but before I added the sausage, I decided the halved tiny potatoes weren't small enough (should've quartered them) so I took a potato masher to the pot and squished most of the potatoes. It broke them up into better-sized pieces, and also thickened the broth a bit.
-
That sounds yummy! I might have to attempt that myself sometime. I love the soup at Olive Garden.
-
On Friday, I decided a nice hearty Bolognese-style meat sauce sounded good, so I went out and got the ground beef that I was lacking. Just before I started cooking, I got a call from my mother - she wanted me to cook the corned beef that was in the fridge. So I changed my plans and made a usual simmered corned beef.
I let the corned beef sit in a pot of cold water for half an hour to leach some of the salt, then changed the water and brought that up to a boil, and poured that out to leach more salt. Then I added a beer and enough water to cover, and seasoned that with a few things (don't quite remember).
After it had simmered for 2 hours, I added some red potatoes. 15 minutes before it was done, I added one head of cabbage, quartered, on top of the corned beef - pretty much sitting up out of the liquid so it could steam.
Today I got back around to making my pasta sauce. Three strips of bacon, chopped, in a heavy pot with olive oil. One onion (had to use red, my white onion was dripping :( ), three stalks of celery, and a handful of baby carrots, all finely chopped and added to the pot. Once all those were cooked down and browned, I added two pounds of ground beef and got that broken up, cooked, and well-browned.
Then I added the remains of a leftover can of tomato paste and some paprika, and fried that in an open spot in the pot until it caramelized a bit. Then vermouth (no wine on hand), chicken broth, Trader Joe's Italian Tomato Starter Sauce (diced tomatoes and tomato sauce, already cooked and seasoned with onion, garlic, olive oil, etc.), and some red wine vinegar; then some oregano, thyme, and black pepper, and a very small amount of Chinese five spice (a secret that goes very well with the tomatoes). Then some salt and sugar to balance the flavor, and then it simmered uncovered for an hours and a half. I checked it every 15 minutes to stir and add more water if needed. The idea was to add water, cook it down, add water, cook it down, over and over.
At the last minute I added some balsamic vinegar, and then served it with penne rigate.
Yes, a long post, but I haven't posted in a few days and I've been busy :waving;
I'm trying to think of the next thing to cook. What I really want is something like chili, that I can eat in a bowl, or have a smaller amount to dip tortilla chips into. I'm thinking pork chili, but I've always found that chili is best for dipping chips with lots of beans. Not an option for me right now...
Anyone have any ideas for something bean-like that I can put in chili that won't destroy my bones? Or something other than chili that's good to dip some sort of chip into?

-
Hubby brought me wonton soup.

Guess what? More darned chicken tonight, with less than a third of a baked potato, some green beans, and now I am starving !!!
-
Had some slow-roasted cherry tomatoes and roasted garlic with oil, balsamic, and herbs, on toast.

Today I had money to go food shopping, so tonight's dinner was carne asada tacos with chopped white onion, dried Mexican oregano (forgot to buy cilantro!), and El Yucateco red habanero hot sauce. The carne asada was frozen, all ready to go, from Trader Joe's. Just heat in a pan and throw in a corn tortilla. It's okay, but not the best. Is my taste changing? Beef more often tastes "off" to me, old.
Maybe I bought the wrong brand of corn tortillas. Of the ten that I wrapped in aluminum foil and put in the oven, only 2 were viable for tacos. The rest had terrible holes and rips.
And the El Yucateco hot sauce... well, let's just say it's HOT! The objective Scoville rating isn't that much higher than Tabasco, but it's easier to get more onto the food, and the unique heat profile of the habaneros seems to make it that much hotter. For some reason, habaneros hurt more, and burn longer, but they also trigger the endorphins that much more. I'm riding on a chile-high right now. :2thumbsup;
-
What - did everyone stop eating!!!!
I made burgers on the grill last night the weather was so nice for this time of year, will probably be one of the last nice days of the year, macaroni salad and sliced tomatoes with cottage cheese. Very easy and very good. :beer1;
-
Yesterday we went to a friend's 60th birthday party. They had a couple there who were cooking Mexican soft tacos. There was nicely seasoned chicken, beef and pork on a open grill. The best part was the tortillas! They rolled the dough out and cooked it right there on a griddle. Also had fresh guacamole and salsa. I loved it. Wish I had more now!
-
Roast Beast...I mean Roast Beef :)
-
Can not believe this one. Made garlic bread in my breadmaker, it flopped, baked potato ( hard to believe, but it flopped too ) . But, made an apple coleslaw, very good, and marinated chuck steaks.
-

At Ruby Tuesday's.

We're having Chipotle tonight. Not my first choice by any stretch, but it's a little something different for the kids. Apparently, they are holding a promotion in town for their new kids menu - order any adult entree, get a free kids meal. I have to give them credit for at least representing vegetarians on their menu.
-
We had chicken and dumplings, salad and ice tea with lemon.

Went grocery shopping today for the first time since the transplant and getting cleared for a full, non-liquid diet. Holy cow, I went a little crazy! Potatoes, tomatoes, bananas, refried bean burritos, orange juice, 5 kinds of cheese, milk, yogurt. . .where to start for dinner?! Bean burrito and nachos with lots of cheese and a big glass of milk, I think!
Now, if I can just get thru the first couple of weeks of being able to eat anything I want without gaining back the 65 pounds I lost over the last 3 years. . ..
-
Went to Farmer Boys for dinner, fish, a few fries, a salad. Stuffed, and it was good!!! I am tired of cooking!!!
-
I didn't make anything. Had chips and cheese. I just wanted to post here.

We were given some venison burgers yesterday, thinking of trying them out tonight.
-
Cod fish fillets breaded in flour with spices (black pepper, red pepper, hot and spicy Mrs. Dash, and a dash of chili powder- but NO salt!) and deep-fried in olive oil (I'm trying to gain weight... as my kidneys slip farther and farther into failure, I'm finding myself eating less and less and sometimes hardly anything even though I try- so my mom fries fish and chicken in heart-healthy olive oil!)

That sounds like a good meal. Hope you get your apatite back.
-
Almost ashamed to admit this, but, due to a rushed day and an even more rushed night, plus a husband with a very bad head cold, I had 2 small frozen burritos. They were very nasty and gave me heartburn in addition to making me feel guilty. A wasted meal. I will do better tomorrow, I am sure.
-
I had chips last night (french fries) with malt vinegar. I have been feeling really ill, and it was that or nothing. My husband makes them by hand, in a cast iron pan (it helps up my iron intake), with organic yukon gold potatoes.
I can still remember being deathly ill as a child, and potato was one of the last foods I was able to tolerate before I stopped eating altogether.

This is not a dinner story, but dessert. We have had a total dessert catastrophe. About six months ago I became obsessed with a product at our local co-op - pistachio cream from Italy. It was pricey, but I researched the product and it won some awards, so I decided it was worth a try. We have a little ice cream maker, so I thought we would use it to make ice cream (well, technically they call it 'frozen custard' around here). We tasted the pistachio cream way back when I first bought it, and it is just beyond decadent.
Last night, Gwyn and I had intended to make a fruit ice cream for the kids, but that was put on hold when it got too late. So Gwyn decided to flavor the standard vanilla custard he had already made with the pistachio cream instead, and therein lies the problem. The pistachio cream is already sweetened, and is exceptionally rich, so we had planned to modify the vanilla custard, but since this was a last minute switch, Gwyn couldn't. He thought it would still work. We now have a container in the freezer that tastes exactly like someone has taken unsalted butter, sweetened it, and injected it with the purest form of pistachio essence known to man. My kids won't touch it because it is green, and I cannot tolerate how rich it is. We still have half a jar of the pistachio cream left, in addition to about a pint of the ice cream. Gwyn has assigned himself the task of finishing the ice cream by Thursday, to make room for his monthly meat shipment. :o I hope he survives this insane exercise.

I had Baker's Tacos for dinner. Hubby went and got them.
-
Classic 7 layer dip and lime tortilla chips. Bad, bad, bad girl! Ahh, well, it's the last of the fattening food in the house. I did the grocery shopping today, and nothing that wasn't whole wheat, pure fruit or solid veggie went in the cart. The indulging in everything I wasn't allowed pre-transplant is over. I gained a couple of pounds over the last 3 weeks of finally being allowed solid food again, and the last thing I want is to gain back what I lost!
-
Message for any ladies over 50 who can cook... has anyone ever heard of "tea cakes". Very simply quick cookies with nothing on them. Not pretty just real good. Maybe has Vanilla in it? I just want some (memory stuff happens when you get old). Recipe if you've heard of it please.

I think I will go to Henry's and pick up some talapia and fresh corn.
-
fried spam and eggs
-
Tiger shrimp, veggies and soba (buckwheat) noodles stir fry.
-
We didn't have chicken stir fry last night, chicken did not thaw out. Having it tonight.
-
I lie about spam... haven't eaten is in years. I recall two things worse than spam as a kid (potted meat and vienna sausages).
But what am I having? I'm craving tabouli (though I may not be able to spell it I'm still going to try and make it again.) Or maybe I'll go get it at a restaurant? (but I need something to do with this bulgar wheat I bought.) No, think I'll make it.
-
I was surprised seeing these post so early...... I am having my first cup of coffee and thinking and only thinking about breakfast..... maybe we need a thread on What's for breakfast......
-
Nah, It's good for you to have an early morning surprise!
-
Very cold here in Pittsburgh, I made a big pot of ham and bean soup and some homemade corn bread over the weekend, still eating it. Very good and warm for the soul.

Dont tell me that you are one of those who cooks once a week and eats all week on the same thing..... I thought that was only me..... :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
Curried cauliflower soup, homemade multigrain croutons and a simple mesclun salad.
-
I cook alot on weekends and make several different things and feast on them through the week..... often get tired of the same thing but what are you gonna do!!!

I use to do this when I was single. It makes things easier.
Tonight we are having pork chops, yellow wax beens, and stuffing
-
I roasted the cauliflower and the carrots for last night's soup and it was very nice.
Tonight I'm making a quinoa dish with black beans, green onions, garlic, veggie stock, few dried blueberries and fresh pomegranate seeds and cilantro as a garnish. That will be served alongside some grilled salmon topped with a spoonful of spicy salsa.
The New York Times Health section has a terrific series called Recipes for Health by Martha Rose Shulman and I think several could be adapted for the renal diet by substituting some ingredients.
-
Tonight spaghetti with meat sauce, salad and bread
-
baked spam on toast
-
last night a nice thick rare juicy steak with roasted red potatoes and corn.... my daughter the chef cooked, very yummy
-
I'm still a little confused as to when is it supper and when is it dinner and where?

Dan Spam and toast! Come live with me and I shall cook for you :o
-
Tonight is a sirloin roast with sauteed zucchini and onions on the side.
-
13 bean stew with pancetta, diced chicken, onions, diced tomatoes, fennel, garlic, carrot and chicken stock. I'll make quinoa to accompany it.

supper is the last meal of the day if you are not having company---
dinner is the last meal of the day if you are having company-
and you are going to eat with plates and silverware and you are saying grace --
deer meat chili and deer meat for the next year --- every way you can think to cook it --- we have a freezer full of venison :waiting;
-
Lucky you, twirl, with a freezer full of venison. All I have are 2 lonely frozen venison burgers.
-
Ah, we didn't have meatloaf. Seems someone (not me :)) forgot to take out the ground beef to thaw. We had cube steak instead, which is what my wife did take out to thaw out (not realizing it was not ground beef :o). Tomorrow we might have meat loaf, I have no idea. ???
Dinner: The chief meal of the day, eaten in the evening or at midday. Also, a banquet or formal meal in honor of a person or event.
Supper: an evening meal, typically a light or informal one.
Whatever you had or have, I hope it was good.
-
Taco salad for me.
-
Went to a potluck at our clubhouse, meat loaf being the main course, and some very strange things, such as olives, stuffed with cream cheese and walnuts, but a lot of good things too. I ate very little, as guess what, none of it was renal friendly.

Awww I want some.... No one got anything while hunting this year. And I so am not going to pay for venison. So have some for me *BIG SMILE*
-
we have deer sausage with cheese and jalpeno's
MandaMe -- wish I could send you some to go with the pickle pops I sent you on your last birthday
-
last night was one of my favs - breakfast for dinner- eggs, sausage, tater tots and sausage gravy over english muffins, sliced tomatoes and cottage cheese
-
Tonight we are having Spaghetti!! and tomorrow when my sister comes home I am making Roast Chicken(s) with Dressing and Mashed Potatoes and a veggie!

-
I have a sirloin roast in the slow cooker. Going to have mashed potatoes and veggies with it. Homemade apple pie and ice cream for dessert.
-
Del, can I come over to your house? :rofl; :rofl; Sounds good!
-
Great minds think alike, Del. I put a roast in the slow cooker and have now put half into a pot of beef/veggie soup. Oh, but no apple pie for us :( Walt is one lucky guy!
But, now spaghetti sounds really good!
-
Just tried to cook boil in the bag rice and I burned it. The bag burst and now it is stuck all over the pan. So what's for supper?
-
glad your ass is back
burned boil in a bag rice
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I need to send you --- Road Kill hot sauce --
it fixes anything
it really is called Road Kill hot sauce-
and it is sweet hot good
-
Oh dan!! You should have asked santa for a cook!! I have left overs so come on over to my house!! Wish you were close enough fc to drop by for supper!! It was delicious!! Even had leftovers.
-
I have been having pasta with sauce out of a jar all week. It's quick at least.
Gwyn made blueberry ice cream based on some insane American-in-Paris ice cream guru's recipe. It is freezing here, but this stuff is irresistible. He tried to make meringues chantilly (because the ice cream calls for many egg yolks, so he needed to use up the whites) but they all stuck, cement-like, to the wax paper, so we have a little container of meringues shards to do I-don't-know-what with.
-
We ordered out from this lil bar and grill called Do'Hickeys. We had these amazing hamburgers, onion rings, french fries, chicken strips and gizzards. All fried foods. It was so good.
-
Tubes, what the heck do you do with Gizzards....lol
I found this slow cooker down in the bottom of my cabinet. No idea how long it has been there but it looks new. I'm going to try and cook something in it. There are no instructions or recipe books with it though. Google, get ready to help me cook.
-
There are thousands of recipes for the slow cooker if you google. Really difficult to burn things in the slow cooker dan!!!
Think I am going to make mac and cheese for supper - the homemade stuff. Will have fresh rolls with it.
-
You mean the homemade stuff that comes in a box with the word Kraft on it?
-
crawford ------ :yahoo; :rofl; :2thumbsup; :clap;
-
Dan hope the clow cooking goes well. We call it a crock pot back where I am from.
Tubes, I haven't had chicken gizzards since I ws a kid. Sorry but I didn;t like them then either. :puke; And we had to get them the old fashioned way, kill your own chickens. Ever try to catch a chicken? :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
Tonight we are having beef stew, provided we still have electricty. :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; If not it will be ham and hard salami on rye bread. :rofl;
-
Just this minute got an invitation to an early dinner (supper). It's a late Christmas tradition ... oh well, at least I still have the tree up for when they come pick me up.
-
I love gizzards but haven't made them in a long time since my husband thinks he doesn't like them. I used to make them for my mother-in-law and me. I cut out the tough connective tissue bits, so each one gives 3 pieces, than saute with onions and garlic, add spices (whatever I feel like that day) a cooking liquid (white wine or chicken stock or just water), some worstershire sauce. Then cover partially and let them stew down until they're very tender and the liquid reduces to more of a sauce. Nice with Jamaican rice and peas.
Tonight, at husband's request, I'm making the 13 bean stew with carrots, onion, pancetta, roasted fennel, garlic, spices and salsa. I top it with thick, garlicky yogurt. We ate this all last week and I'd give it a rest but he loved it with the quinoa pilaf so this week I'll make him wish he hadn't requested it again so soon.
-
Tubes, what the heck do you do with Gizzards....lol
Dan, haven't you ever had a gizzard fight? Like a snowball fight. Except you fry 'em up and throw 'em at each other. :rofl;
They're actually pretty good but I didn't llike these ones. There was this small grocery store I worked at in Kansas. I made fried gizzards there and they were so good. That was the first time I ever had a gizzard. They also had really good fried chicken. *mouth waters*
I think I'm going to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner tonight. ;D
-
You mean the homemade stuff that comes in a box with the word Kraft on it?
Nope the real stuff where you have to grate cheese and stuff. It was delicious!! Took it to sister in law's to share with them and she had fresh homemade bread. Yummy. And a coconut cream pie for dessert.
-
Tried to get the wife to go to Hooters on the way home from dialysis today. But she just said "They probably aren't open, and you're crazy!" That I am :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; Looks like left over beef stew. :2thumbsup;
-
oh we were bad last night.....but ya know what i don't care. baccon lettuce and tomato sandwiches!!!! yum yum.
-
that sounds good........ I havnt had a BLT in a long time.........
-
How long does it take to cook a beef roast with potatoes, etc? If it isn't all that long I might have it for supper. Otherwise peanut butter, crackers and blackberry cobbler ice cream from blue bell.

Throw it in the crockpot in the morning and it will be ready when it's time to eat tonight.
-
Bacon and beans for supper tonight. No beans for me though!! I will have a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich I think.
-
Mildly curried Lamb stew, with stewed eggplant, sweet potatoes, zucchini, onions, garlic, ginger, spices and leftover bean stew...served over baked mushroom barley pilaf with lots of parsley and fresh cilantro garnish.
-
No idea for tonight - for me probably more pasta or something equally quick. The boys will probably have salmon since we have a supply of it in the freezer, all marinated and ready for cooking. My kids love salmon, which is incomprehensible to me. Even before I turned vegetarian, I hated, hated, hated salmon. My mother was born and raised in Alaska, and couldn't grasp this concept. She hoped we'd all agree to live off the stuff. I think I was around 25 when I finally grabbed her one day and said "Mother, I don't like salmon. Try to accept that."
My sister once snapped at me that I couldn't call myself a vegetarian if I didn't like salmon. ??? :urcrazy;
-
Bowling tonight... so, I will make something light. Maybe a sandwich and an apple and yogurt before I leave. A granola bar and lots of water while I am there, and maybe a piece of cheese and an apple when I get home tonight before bed.
Sounds good. :2thumbsup;
-
Home made tacos...... I love those..... but I am thinking now after what Cariad had to say .... I am going to thaw out some Salmon too....... I have alot in the freezer and I need to start making room for more.....
Springer season coming soon....
-
We are having a traditional Newfoundland meal - salted dried cod fish, brewis ( a hard bread or biscuit that is soaked overnight) and boiled potatoes. I make a sauce wth onions and butter to go over it. It is yummy!!
-
Wheat thins makes a tuscan herb flatbread cracker. I've been topping those with a thin slice of turkey, chopped onion and black olive, and topping it all with shaved swiss cheese, then toasting it all in the toaster oven. Yummy!

I love Del but I hate most fish... so if she invites me for supper I'll just have apple pie and home made wine.
Actually I don't like much meats except on occassion... well the ground stuff like burgers, meatloaf, HOW DO YOU SPELL LASAGNA?, exc. Tonight I'll try a meatload. Surely there's a recipe on Food Network. I love cold meatload sandwiches.... GOOD bread, cold meatloat and mayonaise. Yeah.
-
I'm making Kentucky fried chicken tonight. A friend gave me a recipe and told me it was delicious so I am going to try it tonight. We are going to hubby's sister's to eat. I am taking chicken and coleslaw and she is doing fries and dessert.
Dan I would serve you any food you like if you came here. I would even make lasagna ( it's one of my fav foods!!). You have never tasted my pan fried fresh cod fish!!! It is yummy!!! Fresh from the north Atlantic!!
-
Truthfully Del, I've never tasted Cod or many kind of fish. Basically all I like in the way of fish is salmon and talapia... but I'd try your cod.
-

Sauteed chicken breasts in a creamy mushroom tarragon sauce. Red cabbage braised with onions and balsamic vinegar, tiny new potatoes slowly dry-roasted in a covered clay pot. Stewed fruit with yogurt for dessert.
-
Chicken :puke; and brocoli casarole. Can I come to your house for dinner tonight instead? :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

Chili made with ground turkey instead of ground beef. Half the calories for the same taste - yummy!

Last night I was stuck at Northwestern until past 6PM, so I had a spinach and cheese croissant from Au Bon Pain on the car ride home. At least I got extra iron from the spinach.

Moroccan lamb tagine with lots of veggies, spices and chick peas served on coarse bulgur wheat instead of couscous. Garnished with cilantro, toasted almonds and a few currants.

A big plate of veggies and dip, a small cheese and turkey filled biscuit, and the sound of me repeating over and over, "I will not overeat just because I'm stressed. I will not overeat just because I'm stressed. I will not overeat just because I'm stressed. . . . "
-
we are having alfredo. from a jar so it is mostly yucky oil and water. still evil but the poor italian guy cant have tomato sauce so i have to give him something. anyways i made rotini, mixed in the alfredo and a little motzarella, a little parmesean on top and maked it. then i toated 2 small rolls and made some green beans.
I prefer to make high protein meatloaf! without ketchup :'(
-
The last 3 nights:
Garlic stir fry chicken
Stuffed portabella mushrooms
Seafood medley (muscles, octopus, squid, crab) sauteed over spaghetti with a white clam sauce.
I have been trying to cook some different things for me and the kids. Hamburgers and bbq chicken get boring after awhile.
-
recently i've been grilling everything imaginable with a george foreman grill. now this is something i thought i would never use. someone gave it to us and it's been in the cupboard for years. but i had marinated steaks a few weeks ago :rofl; then discovered the grill was out of propane and didn't have the money to go get a new bottle. so i thought i'd give it a try. it worked surprisingly well! everything is very moist and the cooking time is amazing. i think i'm a convert!!!! :rofl;
EDITED:Fixed smiley tag error-kitkatz,Moderator
-
I love my George!
-
I had probably half a cup of Marcona almonds. Not feeling well, and they are my new addiction that I can eat through the worst of times. The boys had hamburger patties crumbled over boxed mac n' cheese with watermelon on the side.
Not one of our better efforts, but of course the kids could hardly believe their luck!
-
I bet the boys loved that! I hope you feel better soon.
-
The family had pizza. I had baked Alfredo noodles. All from Pizza Hut.
Pizza makes my sugar go too high.
-
Thanks, Marc!
Burritos from Chipotle tonight. Gwyn is tired of cooking and I can hardly blame him!
-
Grilled salmon (bought already cooked) with a huge plate of homemade roasted veggies...squash, fennel, red onion and brussel sprouts...done with olive oil and some balsamic vinegar then fresh grated ginger on top.
-
The males had salmon, white rice, and peas. I had the most ridiculously decadent burger - a walnut burger patty from the coop (that makes about 5 different varieties of veggie burgers, all of them exquisite) with soy bacon, gouda cheese from the local artisan cheese maker, lettuce, tomato, and hamburger rolls from a local bakery.
For dessert, fresh strawberries with cream for me, strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate for everyone else.
-
Wow, sounds delicious!
-
I am going to Cariads for dinner tomorrow night!!!!!
Tonight we had stuffed shells and meatballs. Hey, it's Sunday!!!!
-
Sushi...California rolls, spicy crab rolls and for old times sake three small slices of raw white tuna. Also a crab and seaweed salad. Dessert...20 grams of Lindt dark chocolate with orange bits in it.

Homemade and renal friendly (for the most part) Sloppy Joes and Macaroni/Egg Salad

Any time lunadatura...I love the taste of pretty much every food there is but I'm grossed out by the overall unhealthiness of the average North American diet and can't imagine eating most of what people take to be "delicious".
Tonight's dinner is homemade spicy maroccan lamb stew...very little lamb and masses of veggies - carrots, mushrooms, rutabaga, squash, zucchini, sweet potato, chick peas, fennel, seasoned with cumin, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, cardamon and scotch bonnet peppers - served over organic whole wheat couscous with plumped golden raisins and garnished with toasted sliced almonds.
-
Cheese pizza from Whole Foods (it costs a dollar less on Wednesdays) and a fresh fruit melange (mangoes, blueberries, strawberries, cherries). I was not at Whole Foods to supervise, so could not stop Gwyn from buying both a carrot cake and a cherry pie on sale. We had about a third of the carrot cake. Yes, I did tell him I had been craving carrot cake, but did he need to buy an entire cake? And the cherry pie came out of left field....
-
I took out my cast iron skillet, put in a good measure of olive oil, a smushed garlic clove, some fresh green beans, a slice onion, salt, pepper and panko, stirred it all up and roasted the whole thing, then put the mixture over rigatoni. Sprinkled a little fresh thyme from my garden on top, and it was scrummy. For dessert we had a bowl of fresh strawberries, also from my garden.

I had grilled pork chops and steamed vegetables (a mix of carrots, peas, corn and green beans)
-
I love anything off the grill.
Shrimp curry and naan bread tonight! Not too many shrimp for me, though... :'(
-
A mixed red and white quinoa salad with lots of stuff in it...parsley, mint, cilantro, tiny bits of red onion, diced cherry tomatoes, chopped dried apricots, toasted pecans (bought natural with no salt and toasted dry in a skillet), diced jicama for more crunch, diced avocado and a dressing of lime juice, raspberry red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, chipotle powder, grated ginger, grated garlic. NOT RENAL FRIENDLY but incredibly tasty and healthy. So many possibilities of what could be added or subtracted depending on personal preferences.

Did this thread get recycled? It's suddenly short. :)
Last night I had leftover steak tacos and spicy popcorn. I'm just starting to take Megace, so hopefully my appetite will get better and I'll be more motivated to cook.

I had scrambled eggs and toast (last night)
-
The boys had fried eggs on toast, mixed veg, watermelon, and cherry pie with homemade vanilla ice cream. I had pasta with a tomato cream sauce and parmesan cheese. I managed one slice of watermelon, but my teeth have become really sensitive to cold and/or sweet, so it was tricky to eat. I passed on dessert.
-
We walked to one of the restaurants participating in dining week last night. The boys were so good. I am a sucker for fusion restaurants, and this was Latin Fusion. Gwyn ordered carne asada, I had the veg burrito (only veg choice on prix fixe) which was quite unique, and had loads of julienne vegetables in there. For starters, I had a blue cheese salad, while Gwyn chose the butternut squash soup. (Those were both excellent.) They had no kids menu, so the boys split a snapper wrapped in banana leaf with a coconut sauce, on a bed of sweet potato discs. My little boy loves salsa! I am so proud. He could not get enough of it. I guess there was no baby-switching at the maternity ward after all!!! :rofl;
For dessert, vanilla flan for me (with these amazing candied vanilla strands on top), sorbet trio for Gwyn, and we let the boys share an insane banana/chocolate duo (banana cake with chocolate ice cream, and chocolate cake with banana ice cream). The nice thing was that the desserts were not those obnoxiously portioned beasts you get at some establishments. We nearly finished everything.

All those things sound wonderful!
-
I made green beans with a little butter and Parmesan cheese, and threw a Marie Callendars frozen pot pie over it. Not bad.
-
I had a quick-prep dinner of tofu/cashew spread from the co-op spread onto toast with a substantial lettuce leaf. Gwyn made our version of chicken nuggets, which takes our leftover roasted chicken from the meat CSA, shreds it, and adds it to a chicken croquette recipe we found on food network. We modified the recipe a bit by adding loads of chopped broccoli, some parmesan cheese, and rolling the croquettes in panko instead of regular bread crumbs. They must be made hours before and left to chill in the fridge so that they keep their shape - Gwyn rolls them into a long sausage shape, chills, then cuts them into discs to ready them for the panko and frying.
The boys luuuuuuved them. Gwyn gave them five each, and they asked for more. He said he put way more broccoli in these than in the first batch he made, and the kids just devoured them. I would not be surprised if Mr. Elliot asks for them for his birthday dinner tomorrow night and luckily we will have plenty in the freezer ready to meet that request.
-
:clap; that is a very smart and sneaky way to get broccoli into children!
-
Well I'm finding it hard to cook for one, but last night i made pork chili, beans and rice. Not renal friendly it all.
-
:clap; that is a very smart and sneaky way to get broccoli into children!
:rofl;
"smart and sneaky" - why I think I've just found the phrase I want in my epitaph! ;)
-
We are trying to rid the freezer of as much meat from the meat CSA as possible, then if we have the spare dosh (this is a large 'if') we will restart the meat CSA. They give the best eggs as part of their poultry share, and extra dozens only cost $2!!! Gwyn defrosted lamb stew meat, a beef steak, and two ham steaks.
Anyhow, Gwyn took lamb stew meat out the other day, quickly fried it, added a jar of spicy artisan korma I got on a ridiculous sale at Whole Foods, and cooked it on low heat overnight by placing the cast iron skillet in the oven. He hasn't eaten that yet, but tasted it and says it's absolutely superb.
Tonight, I decided to help with dinner as Gwyn called me in a panic, stuck in traffic. We decided to make a spaghetti carbonara for him and the kids using the ham instead of trad bacon or prosciutto. How hard is it to fry a ham? When you are an easily nauseated vegetarian, it's trickier than it sounds. I grabbed my food handling gloves, bunged it in a pan, and flipped it a few times. There was a hard circle in the middle, with a mushy center, and when Gwyn got home, I asked 'is that stuff bone marrow' and he nodded and I was off for a lie down! He added finely diced pole beans to the carbonara. The kids raved about it. I also sliced cherries for them. I think these may be the most delicious cherries I've ever tasted, and the Whole Foods is selling them at $1.99/pound. We are going to stock up and attempt our own version of Cherries Garcia ice cream. My dinner was nothing special - two Dr. Praeger's spinach patties fried in olive oil, sour cream on the side, and a large measure of cherries. I thoroughly enjoyed it, though.

BBQ chicken and corn on the cob. I am going to miss summer.
-
Last night was rice pilaf with chickpeas, cumin, garlic, shallots, and homegrown tomatoes, red jalapenos, and Thai chiles. I was going to put a fried egg on top, but I was too lazy. :oops;
-
Yellow split pea soup.
-
Restorer - that sounds great!
del - Yellow peas? I love the green stuff, how do you make yours?
-
:popcorn;
-
:popcorn;
Popcorn for dinner? I do that way too often! :rofl;
-
Not supper, but breakfast I had to share.
I was going to just make a fried egg and tomato sandwich, but I got a little carried away. ;D I ended up with a quasi- fried egg and tomato banh mi: two fried eggs with slightly runny yolks on a sourdough baguette, with homegrown sliced tomato, homegrown julienned jalapeno, mayo, fish sauce, and sriracha chili sauce. So ridiculously good (and messy!).
:2thumbsup;
-
That sounds pretty good Restorer.
Dinner was leftover Thai food, green curry with eggplant, Satay with peanut suace and steamed rice.
-
okarol, I make yellow split pea soup. I use a package of peas. Add water salt (in Newfoundland we add salt beef) ham works well as well, black pepper and chopped onion. Let boil until peas are almost cooked. Have to keep an eye on it because you may need to add more water as the peas cook - it gets thick. I add chopped carrot, turnip, parsnip and let boil until that is cooked. You have to stir ocassionally and not have temp to high because it is very easy to burn it on the bottom of the pot. I make dumplings and add - about 1 cup flour, 2 tsp baking powder and water . Drop by spoon full into the soup. Cover and let cook for 10 minutes (Don't remove the cover while the dumplings are cooking)
-
Last night was weight watchers homemade chicken noodle soup and a lettuce and tomato sandwich on whole grain bread. I am trying to get back to losing some weight!!

I know what you mean. I have been waiting for football season to start so bad!!!!!!! If my G/F was at home, and saw what I had to eat watching the games, she would have killed me! She thought I was going to be a "good boy" since I ate well, watching the ALABAMA game and the Tennessee game the day before.
I won't tell you what I had, I'll just stop at CHEESESTEAK! enough said!!!???
GO LIONS!!!!
(Being a TRUE Detroit Lions fan, is a hard, lonely job! But someone has to do it!) :cheer:

:popcorn;
sounds like a dialysis night
-
I finally got back to cooking tonight, and I made really good jerk chicken and rice. It was super tasty, and I have enough left for dinner for the rest of the week. :bandance;
-
Ohh I want some!! :thumbup;
I went to the downtown Los Angeles Art Walk tonight. They have about 50 food trucks - it's a once a month event. I ate some yummy falafel in a wrap, it was very spicy and good!
-
On Thursday I made a big pot of pozole (http://bit.ly/2Jm2BW) with chicken, canned hominy, Mexican squash, and a few different kinds of chiles. I was expecting it to last all weekend, but I forgot how quickly food goes when three people are eating it (including my brother, the human vacuum). I was expecting to get at least three bowls for myself, but when I went for the third bowl on Friday night, I found my brother had eaten the last of it - and left the pot out for me to wash! :stressed;
I'm thinking of making chicken larb (http://www.panix.com/~clay/cookbook/bin/show_recipe.cgi?thai+recipe174) this week. You think if I make it super-hot I'll be able to keep it all to myself? :rofl;
-
I had pozole about 2 weeks ago except it with beef and shredded cabbage. Nothing like eating homemade :2thumbsup;
-
Chicken larb? You're just making that up! :rofl;
I made a lamb curry served over basmati rice. I was never really a potatoes sorta girl, so I don't get bummed by the no potato thing. I do love rice, though, and basmati rice is so fragrant and lovely. I cheated and got some store bought naan bread.
-
Oven roasted chicken breasts, drowned in lemon pepper, fried rice, Bob had creamed corn and I had a very small salad. But THEN, I decided I needed a cookie ( or two) so I did up some home made cranberry/chocolate chunk cookies. What a downfall, but, boy, they were good. !!!
-
This topic used to be so much fun.....
let's try it again-
I made omlet's with eggs, little ham, little cheese, and green onions, was very good. I love breakfast for dinner
So what did you have??
-
I love talking food..... and! i love breakfast for dinner better than breakfast for breakfast! So, beings its lunch time right now, i'll tell what we're having for lunch... Albicore sandwhich with little green onions, and a piece of romane lettuce on it. Hubby (the D man) is getting his with some protien powder and flaxseed meal on his as well...shush!!

-
Tonight we went to Smitty's - it's a local burger joint. I had a Smitty Jr. Yum!!!!!
-
Fish tacos for dinner.... YUMMY! I think i make the best tacos ever..lol
-
Mixed peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, chopped onions with baby corn & chestnuts, mushrooms and oriental noodles all mixed with Olivie oil to stir fry. Then put smoked sausage in it! Put over rice and PRESTO, you have a tasty meal and very healthy too! Well some of it might not be, but the majority is!
lmunchkin :flower;

Last night we made empanadas which is a lot of fun. I buy the pre-made wrappers and then we all fill them with whatever we like. We had beef and chicken and also made some for desert which we used blueberry or apple pie filling. YUM!
-
is supper, like, the evening meal? On Wednesdays Gregory works late, so I stay late at uni too. And tonight I'm getting Indian takeaway on the way home. mmmm! He hates indian so I only get it when we're eating separately...
I'm gonna have lamb korma and rice and I think the eggplant thing... whatever its called. ;D

Korean barbecue! Homemade! By me! :2thumbsup; :rofl;
Spicy pork, kimchi, spicy cucumbers, sesame bean sprouts, marinated peppers, and lots of rice.

And Wednesday, something similar, wrapped in cabbage leaves.

Renal-friendly? I don't know! No dairy, no additives, all the vegetables are okay, not a lot of soybean paste. It works for me!
:waiting; :urcrazy;
-
gee that looks good!
-
oh boy... this stuff looken delicious!!
-
Turkey & Roast beef from Subway. Dont feel like cooking tonight.
lmunchkin
:kickstart;
-
Not dinner, but my favorite quick snack at the moment: asparagus quickly steamed in the microwave, dipped in Japanese Kewpie mayo.
-
stir fry veggies with chicken and yakisoba noodles. Lots of hot peppers added to my bowl and siriachi.
I like it spicy.
I think tomorrow night will be burgers and maybe stir fried brussels sprouts. I am having hankerings for brussels sprouts. My husband thinks I am weird.
-
pot roast until it falls apart with cut up red potatoes in the juice from the meat, corn and salad
-
pasta bolognese and salad and bread.
-
tonight was pork filled egg rolls. Frozen and from Wal Mart, really not all that good, but when you are on the run, you pick up fast food. I just love this thread.
-
Recently I made blacked tilapia with (leeched) roasted potato French fry-like things. The tilapia was a 6 ounce, frozen, vacuum sealed, sushi-grade filet from the Korean market. I coated it in a mixture of spices - chipotle powder, cayenne, garlic powder, black pepper, thyme, Old Bay, salt - and blackened it in a very hot cast iron skillet, and then spooned clarified butter over it.
The potato was a smallish Yukon Gold potato, cut into matchsticks, soaked in 3 changes of water over 16 hours, then boiled in fresh water, then tossed with oil and spices and roasted until crispy.
-
tonight is broiled halibut, pasta and shrimp in garlic and ovoo......yummy
-
I must be going thru a phase. I have a lot of weight to lose (about 100 pounds or more) so I can get on the transplant list someday and I've been eating the same ol same ol pretty much at home, rice and ground beef and some veggies and once in a while fruit. (Sick of Chicken right now) I do use homemade no salt beef or chicken broth to cook the rice in but I don't eat starchy root veggies or any grains except white rice. I use spices a lot for flavor. I use cream in my coffee in the morning.
It's like I'm afraid to eat most foods now days even in moderation. I've cut out all processed foods except the white rice.
OMG
-
Gah, it is past 5PM and I cannot answer the dinner question!
Last night I got the boys mac and cheese from Noodles (one of those new breed of fast food places that actually tries to make entrees that are edible). They sent me a voucher in the mail, so it was free! I did not order anything for myself, though was tempted by their Truffle Mac N Cheese where they add truffle oil and portabello mushroom slices.
I have two freezers full of items that Gwyn made before he left for me to heat and serve, so the boys are probably going to go that route tonight.
-
Tonight I"m having Scallops with Vodka Lemon Cream Sauce. And a salad with some sourdough bread. if the scallops turn out great the recipe will be on my blog I"m kind of just winging it.
Riverwhispering. good job on cutting out the processed foods. You might want to check out my blog for renal friendly recipes that are made with real food not processed foods for ideas.
-
I made this! I marinated the chicken in a teriyaki sauce, then I cook it on the stove top, cooked up some white rice and steamed some carrots, add a few crunchy noddles and of course a fortune cookie and BAM its just like take out!! :2thumbsup;
-
today i went to Cosco and got a white pizza with big chunks of mozerella cheese and slices of tomato w/ spinach...... just heat and eat, it liooks really good
-
:secret; Shhhh...no one tattle....let's all show up at Restorer's house...all at once...tonight...every thing he eats sounds real good...
:bandance;
-
The Scallops with Vodka Lemon Cream sauce were amazing. And harldly any cream only 1 tbsp per serving.
Vodka on the other hand 1/3 of a cup but I let the alcohol boil away.
I will be posting it on my blog in April. time frame..
tongiht we are having chicken wings and salad.
2 types of wings: Spicy and Honey Mustard all home made so the sodium is controlled.
-
Pizzia with Canadian Bacon and Bell peppers, onions and ham bits. It is one of those store bought that I add to. Pretty good stuff.
lmunchkin
-
the weather has been so nice last night i did turkey burgers on the grill..they were ssssoooo yummy
-
Tonight I made turkey meatloaf with green and red peppers chopped up inside, and pork rinds instead of bread crumbs (my husband's on Atkins). I also made a garlic asparagus puree. Original recipe calls for broccoli, but the broccoli I had in the fridge was spoiled. Pretty soupy puree, but delicioso! I used butter and half-and half, but you might be able to use olive oil instead. I don't know about half and half, though. The puree replaces potatoes, and I tell you, it did sort of taste like mashed potatoes!. Turkey was a bit soupy so I cooked it almost an hour at 350. Should have used more pork rinds...
I am having renal potatoes at Easter, though! Excited! I am also making broccoli puree for the hubs, per his request.
-
I made roasted chicken wings with a Korean-inspired sauce/glaze. Ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, sriracha, sesame oil, and Korean red pepper paste. I also had quickly sauteed snow peas and some quick sweet cucumber pickles.
I mixed custard for French toast in the morning.
-
I so wish I could tolerate green red or yellow peppers, it looks like they add so much flavor to different dishes. Just cant stand the smell or the taste of them tho.
-
bought these beef soup bones 2 weeks ago and stuck them in the freezer. I usually buy beef soup bones to make beef stock. Turns out those beef bones were prime rib bones, with plenty of meat still on the bones.
So I made the stock, grabbed all the meat off the bones, and made home made beef vegetable soup, all for under $5 !! :beer1;
-
Getting a bargain like that always makes me happy. And every time we have steak, the leftovers always go into a soup. Oh, for dinner today, home made split pea soup. ( Please dont throw anything at me )
-
*throws ham bones at Jean* Make me some! :rofl;
Man, I miss split pea soup. Oh well, I'm cheating tomorrow just before dialysis and having a breakfast burrito with potatoes.
-
Restorer have you tried using braggs amino acids in place of Soy sauce? The Renal dietitian was the one that mentioned it to me and I found it to work well with a lot less sodium then the low sodium soy sauce.
-
Just a thought.... Restorer you should share some of your recipes because they sound great.
-

whenever we have steak for dinner, there is never any leftovers :rofl; :rofl;
I used to bbq steaks, but since buying a cast iron skillet, I find cooking on the iron skillet makes the steaks taste a whole lot better and cooks much faster than using the bbq.
-
MMMmm great, good idea, I'm making split-pea soup tomorrow. Today I made a lime cheesecake, and a cheesesandwich with a couple of binders

Restorer have you tried using braggs amino acids in place of Soy sauce? The Renal dietitian was the one that mentioned it to me and I found it to work well with a lot less sodium then the low sodium soy sauce.
Is there a low-sodium kind of Bragg's Aminos? Because I'm looking at the nutritional facts, and it looks like it has more sodium than even regular Kikkoman soy sauce. Notice that the serving size of Bragg's Liquid Aminos is 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml), and the serving size of Kikkoman soy sauce is 1 tablespoon (15 ml).
Bragg's:
(http://bragg.com/products/images/LA-nutpanel09web.jpg)
Regular Kikkoman:
(http://www.kikkomanusa.com/images/images_nutrition_facts/00070_NF.gif)
Low-sodium Kikkoman:
(http://www.kikkomanusa.com/images/images_nutrition_facts/00105_NF.gif)
When you compare them teaspoon to teaspoon, Bragg's has 320 mg of sodium, and low-sodium Kikkoman has 192 mg of sodium. That makes me really wary, because they say that they don't add any salt - it's just soybeans and water. So if they're concentrating that much salt out of soybeans, I'm afraid to think about what else they're concentrating - how much potassium might be in a teaspoonful.
I prefer low sodium soy sauce, though I've been using regular soy sauce because my roommate uses it faster than me, has gone through all the low-sodium soy sauce I bought, and replaced it with a jug of regular. :stressed;
Just a thought.... Restorer you should share some of your recipes because they sound great.
Thanks! 8) I usually don't follow a recipe unless I'm making something for the first time or I'm baking. I tend to just mix things together until they taste right - but I can always reverse-engineer a recipe to share once I'm done!
-
Restorer, I know you are a pro at this stuff, so tell me, would spaghetti and meatballs be at least somewhat better for us if you made the meatballs out of ground turkey and ground pork mixed together than just useing ground beef??
-

Better in what way? Strictly in terms of the renal diet, no, all three of those meats have roughly equivalent phosphorus, potassium, and protein levels - unless you use extra lean ground beef, which is higher in all three.
-
Restorer I would love for you to go to Spokane and have a good talk with the renal dietitian I had to see. It cost me a lot of money to see her since I don't have insurance yet and she was the one that told me to use the Braggs Liquid Aminos instead of soy sauce.
Would you consider being my personal renal dietitian for free maybe? You have really helped me learn a lot on the diet part of CKD.
Also one last request... can you share what ingredients you use for your Asian sauces you make?
-
Hah! I'm not certified to be called a renal dietitian, and if I were, I certainly wouldn't do it for free! :rofl;
I make a lot of sauces, and I rarely measure anything, so I can really only give rough guidelines. If I'm making stir-fry, I'll mix soy sauce, sugar, sake or Chinese cooking wine, chicken stock if I have some on hand, and sesame oil. Sometimes I'll add a little balsamic vinegar. You have to mix and adjust and taste and adjust more until it tastes right. I also mix a little corn starch and cold water, and dump that in the pan after I've added the sauce, to thicken it.
When I make cold tofu, I mix soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, and sometimes chopped garlic and Korean red pepper flakes. I pour it over a third of a block of silken tofu, and top it with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
If I want to make a spicy sauce for something, I'll use some combination of the usual things, and mix in some gochujang, Korean red pepper paste.
I'm really not that great with sauces for cooking with. I do better with dipping sauces or dressings.
-
That'sokayRestorer. As far as I am concerned,any man who knows which end of the spoon to stick into the soup is a great cook, LOL
-
Me thinks Restorer needs to open a Renal Restaurant... :popcorn;
-
Restorer, do we know if a salt substitute is used in the low-sodium soy sauce, cause that might have a lot of potassium? I always get nervous cause they don't have to put potassium on the label.
-

I haven't seen a brand of low-sodium soy sauce with potassium-based salt substitute in it. They tend to use lactic acid or sometimes acetic acid as "salt enhancers" - makes the salt taste saltier, without adding more sodium or potassium.
If you look on the label at the ingredients, potassium chloride is the dangerous salt substitute. If it's not on there, it's not in it.
-
Why, thank you for that response! I will look for that.
-
I splurged tonight and cooked a $13 dry-aged ribeye (the smallest one in the case, still half a pound!), roasted some asparagus, and made a cucumber-shallot-mint relish to go with it. Very tasty, but I'll probably be paying for it by Thursday morning.
-
WHAT??? You paid $26.00 a pound for a ribeye steak?
-
couldn't be bothered to cook today, so got delishes fish, and chips from Harper's
-
made some fried chicken the other nite, for the breading I got it from paula deen, which is super simple, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I double dipped the chicken and deep fried in a cast iron pot. Turned out beautifully, nice golden brown and very crunchy breading. I overcooked the chicken so it wasn't as moist as it could have been.
-
WHAT??? You paid $26.00 a pound for a ribeye steak?
Yep! :rofl;
Well, $23/lb - it was slightly over half a pound. It was local and dry-aged, and it was really good. It's the most I've ever paid for a raw steak. ;D
-
Restorer, I do not think I have ever even seen a steak with a price tag like that. Where is it that you live???
-
Made a wild rice and turkey soup last night that was a bust, so tonight I go to a simple family fav - tacos. My husband and son have a Boy Scout campout this weekend and getting out the door on Friday eve is always rushed so tacos are quick. That's my plan.
-
I baked peanutbutter cookies, and some corncookies earlier, so now I feel a bit sick. Will not be cooking supper today. Thank God for D

What's everyone having for dinner tonight.
I'm making beef burgers with salad. And for dessert Mint cucumber sorbet if it ever sets. If this works out how Ithink it will, I will post post the recipe on my blog.
-
burgers on the grill with corn on the cob and a tomato and cucumber salad
-
harley - what time?? ;D
-
I have a caramelized onion pot roast going in the crock pot now. Will have that with salad and maybe a slice of bread or two for dipping.
-
Had homemade beef burgers lastnight done on my George Foreman grill. I love my Foreman grill cuz it drains all the grease . We also had fresh corn on the cob and fresh sliced tomatoes. IT was heaven! LOL I love the taste of summer.
Tonight we're having barbequed chicken. YUM! :laugh:
-
I'm hungry. I have been looking for recipes to help Jenna slow her kidney failure. It's so confusing because she needs less protein, but on dialysis she needed more. ???
-
If your kidney(s) isn't working properly, protein can damage the kidney even further. I when on dialysis, one tends to lose protein, and the kidney(s) is already too damaged anyway? I think.
Good luck my darling, Cas
