I'm swearing off meat for this week
Posted: Jun 27, 2011
I'm going to see if it will help me lose some weight. The only thing about it is I don't want to load up on carbs to compensate.

Do you mean red meat and pork or ALL meat including poultry and fish? - LaLaMT
[ In Reply To ..]I would suggest looking for alternate sources of protein like beans, eggs, nuts etc.
I saw a Rachel Ray 30-minute meals episode where she made grilled portobello mushroom "burgers" with roasted red peppers and smoked mozzarella that I've been wanting to try. It sounded and looked yummy! You can find the recipe on the Food Network website. If you try it let us know how it turns out!
Also with the portobello mushroom caps, you could grill them and stuff with veggies and cheese, that would be good too. Ooooo, I'm getting hungry!
Had one of those "burgers" last week. - Hmmm
[ In Reply To ..]It was adapted from that Rachel Ray episode you mentioned. I am not a big fan of smoked cheese, so I use pepper jack instead. And add lots of grilled onions.
tempura vegies. batter in a box. use canola oil. - dinner in 15 minutes or less. NM

Morningstar Farms Black Bean Burgers - mthead
[ In Reply To ..]We love these at my house, although they are somewhat pricey. Very quick and easy. I don't put them on a roll, generally, but heap tomatoes and avocados on top and eat with a knife and fork. Yum.
If you can stand tofu - mthead
[ In Reply To ..]I like to get a block of firm tofu, drain it, slice it, bread it and fry it in a pan w/a small amount of oil 'til crispy, pour tomato sauce on top and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. If you cover it for a few minutes, the cheese melts and you have tofu parmigiana. Even healthier if you serve with the high-protein Barilla pasta and salad.
Mom, is that you? - Hmmm
[ In Reply To ..]My mom is Japanese, so we regularly had tofu (love the stuff!), but her specialty was actually Italian cruisine. What an interesting idea to put the 2 together. Will have to try it.
We use tofu in stirfry, miso soup, and, my favorite way is raw, cut in cubes, mixed with soy sauce, spicy sesame oil, and thinly sliced green onions. Okay, that probably sounds gross to some people, but I like it. : )
LOL! Nope! Just trying something new. - mthead
[ In Reply To ..]I think I got that from the Eating Well website. We also like to marinate the tofu in soy, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, green onions and oil for a few hours and then grill it in slabs and serve w/roasted veggies and brown rice. Yum.
Protein - Doing my best to eat right
[ In Reply To ..]One day I finally came to the conclusion, on my own, that possibly I was gluten sensitive, so I started shopping at an organic market. I don't care for meat much, anyway, so going all veggies seemed healthy for me, but was I ever shocked when I realized I had dropped 10 pounds! I guess it's the fats in meat, but I'm sure that not loading up on gluten-loaded foods probably helped, too. Not to mention I simply feel better so I do more.
That said, however, on the salary I now make as an MT, I cannot continue to buy gluten-free and totally organic foods, but I am going to at least try to do that once a month. I also found that when I went from 2% to whole milk I seemed to lose a little weight?? Organic whole milk in glass bottles just tastes so much better than the milk in plastic bottles.
Good luck!

Eating MeatApr 24, 2010
Hi everyone! I am an avid animal lover and find I am feeling increasingly guilty about eating meat and poultry. However, I have put on some weight and want to cut way down on carbs as well. Can any of you very informative, intelligent people out there give me some guidance? My niece is now reading a book about whether or not to eat meat. She said it is brutally honest about the treatment of farm animals. I need to make a major change, not only because of ...
Newt On Meat The PressJan 22, 2012
Going off about Saul Alinski, community organizing thugs not voters, blah blah. I would welcome his candidacy because all that gibberish was judged by Americans last time and deemed rubbish. Mittens released tax returns. I dont expect much scandal, he seems to be upstanding in regards to the law, just personally carrion seeking. I think Newt is doing all this (with the aid of the Las Vegas guy with $5 billion) just so he can ride on that dang presidental airplane in the seat of ...

So, they say Biden and some "top" Democrats will not be attending. I understand the sentiment, and they can always watch on CSPAN and get the info, I suppose, but I do think they should listen, even if they don't believe he should be here, which I agree, he shouldn't. Boehner has made a large error and Republicans supporting him are being very destructive to our country's image in the world, not to mention further fracturing Congress.

I'd Like To Get A Job Working 1 Day A Week ......Mar 14, 2015
outside the home so I can get some people contact and not feel so isolated. I live in a large city, but it's been difficult finding a job like this. Because of some health problems, I can't do anything physically taxing like retail or Mcjobs. I'd like to work in a medical office doing some kind of clerical work.

He will be spending so much time every day this week talking about the economy, the deficit, what's wrong and how to fix it (hopefully). I can't remember what else he'll be talking about, but it sounds interesting. Right now, he's talking about the bribes in Afghan...$13.5B are spent bribing people, loaded on pallets in Pakistan and shipped to Dubai. They have it on tape now. If you can't watch it, it will probably be on line tomorrow. ...

Different religious factions have been slaughtering one another for centuries and guess what - Obama wasn't there! And in c ...

When we get him on the ticket, he will need the votes in the general election too, but this is about the primary. I did have one that absolutely had never heard of Bernie Sanders. It ...
