Those of
us on long-term prednisone often have problems processing certain foods. Our
pancreas is tired and overworked. The foods, which help the pancreas and our
waistline, are non-starchy vegetables and protein. Only 3-4 ozs of protein and,
in my case, a total of 1,400 calories a day. With those parameters in mind, I mine the Internet for recipes that can be adjusted to these proportions. Low
fat. Low carb.
I hope
sharing these recipes offers better food choices while dealing with the
prednisone side effects.
I baked
the breakfast quiche in the new oven yesterday. It turned out perfectly. I
realize now that the old oven was really not consistent heat and it had been
failing for quite a while. The
quiche, which includes non-fat cottage cheese and eggbeaters, was made with
pancetta, caramelized onions and low-fat shredded Mexican Blend cheese. It was
delicious.
First, we had Basque-Style Shrimp from Prevention Magazine and a side salad.
Then in
two days, I will use my new wok to make Mongolian Beef with a side of cabbage
with a lite Asian dressing. http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=1736075
The final
recipe for the week is Michael’s most favorite – Pizza Chicken served with a side salad.
Happy cooking!
