Posted: Mar 26, 2016
I would like to keep simple and my appetite is not as big as it was. I like to fix the Knorr pasta sides, simple and quick. I am trying to cut back on meat but would like to have a little something more than just the pasta. Any suggestions? ;

[ In Reply To ..]A steam-in-bag Italian veggie combo, zucchini, red peppers, onions, green beans OR any veggie combo you like. Also chick peas (they come in tiny cans), but rinse them to get the excess salt out. You could also try white beans (cannellini) of kidney or red beans with veggies. Tuna is great in red sauce. You can buy the Italian style tuna in olive oil (Progresso and Pastene) or just use the dark tuna in the can and add a teaspoon or two of olive oil on your own. You can also buy a ball of mozzarella cheese and cut into cubes and throw that on top. Then there is the ever popular, in the northeast anyway) red or white clam sauce. Yum.
You stole my suggestion... - white clam sauce. sm
[ In Reply To ..]Great minds really do think alike. That is my quick, go-to dinner. Also, when those big Portobello mushrooms are on sale, I like making 'bello burgers by cooking those up whole in the toaster oven with a marinade, sliced onions, bell peppers, and pepperjack cheese; toss on a Kaiser roll.
Bello burgers sound yummy...SM - Old Anon
[ In Reply To ..]I never thought of using my toaster oven to roast them with the veggies ahead of time. Sounds really easy and delicious. Only difference is I would use an Italian sandwich roll.

[ In Reply To ..]I like to roast the portabellos and use them instead of/in place of the bun (minus stem of course). This is my favorite low-carb sandwich. My favorite filling is turkey burger or BLT or both.
One of my favorites - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Solid white tuna, pasta, broccoli, lemon juice, (lots of) garlic, red onion, olive oil, and plenty of freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Our 2nd favorite is solid white tuna, pasta, marinated artichoke hearts, black olives, (lots of) garlic, olive oil, and plenty of freshly grated parmesan cheese.
The 2nd recipe is even easier than the first because you're only cooking the pasta (no broccoli). Then I just throw everything into one bowl and mix. There are few things that cannot be made delicious with olive oil, garlic, and parmesan cheese!

How Can I Make This Dish Better?Feb 19, 2011
A couple weeks ago I cooked some ground turkey and added a can of white beans to it and I absolutely loved it but it seemed like lt was missing something.

I'd like to do the ground turkey with white beans again, but just seems like something is missing. What would you add to it to make it better? ...

I will break down and do potato salad if I have to - it sure is hard to switch from starches when we grew up on that stuff because it was cheap..... Pork and beans are so salty - ...

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 ...

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 ...

Well, the very next day, DH went to get Blue Buffalo and instead came home with a 5 lb. bag of 4health ($6) and Taste of the Wild ($12) instead (he always listens to sales people). We started her on 4health and she didn't touch it the first day unless we put in 1/2 can of wet and veggies. The second day she ate it with no problem. She also seems to be 'full' after eating and isn't crying or whining. The next day, she didn't even touch her breakfast until after lun ...
