Menu and Recipes for the Week

First of all, a big blog hug to Lisa who is dealing with a downturn right now. Keep fighting and improving! 

It seems that you, dear reader, like recipes for those of us on prednisone. We just can't process certain foods well. So, my diet only includes non-starchy vegetables and protein. No yogurt, no sugar, no carbs, no milk, no starchy veggies. I have culled many low fat/low carb recipes from the Internet so here are this week's offerings:
Mongolian Beef (I use a sugar substitute): http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=1736075


Cajun Fish (I use 4 ozs. of a white fish for few calories):  http://www.food.com/recipe/cajun-fish-fillets-32983


Bacon Wrapped Chicken (We use 2 breasts for 4 servings): http://www.food.com/recipe/bacon-wrapped-chicken-oamc-79944


Our Crustless Breakfast Quiche is made with lots of cooked onions, pancetta and low-fat mozzarella cheese. The basic recipe is: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=290991


Michael had a salad with the fish while I had my favorite chopped cabbage with Trader Joe's Goddess dressing. With breakfast, I either have the cabbage or Trader Joe's chopped vegetables, also with the Goddess dressing. I found a low fat Asian dressing made by Kraft that is also marvelous on the cabbage. We cooked some beets from the neighbor's garden and also nabbed some broccoli that I had with lunch and dinner.
Happy Cooking!
