Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 I have been doing SBD since mid-April and have to say I haven't had eggs once for breakfast. I can't stand them, and even have a hard time cooking them for my husband because the smell of them makes me feel ill. That said, I have had yogurt, canadian bacon, small salads, very small glasses of V-8 (although more often than not this makes me feel sick... I just drink it when I am desperate to get my veggies in the morning), sliced cucumbers and tomato with cheese, glass of milk, and of course once out of Phase 1, cereal! There are alot of options out there besides eggs. Or maybe you could try eggs with melted cheese (or scrambled eggs with cheese melted in), salsa and guacamole. It gets you away from the normal egg routine and feels like you're eating Mexican food. My husband likes that one once in awhile. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 I've always used oatmeal in meatloaf, even before SBD. You could also use oat bran, flax seed, whole wheat bread crumbs or any cooked grain. in Atlanta, who is starting to sound a bit like a know it all. Sorry I've been cooking for a living way to long,lol. Please, don't apologize. I need all the help I can get. I sauteed some zucchini & summer squash the other night, added a bit of V8, because I like everything better with tomato flavor (but I hate raw tomatoes!), and I was so proud of myself that I actually exerted all the effort!

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 all this talk about WW stuff...that's for phase 2 right? You're welcome!As for breading, they do make WW crackers......check out Trader Joe's. Also you could use SB friendly dry cereal.....just grind it up more.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Yes, it's my very favorite hot cereal. I use one called Hodgsons Mills (or something like that!) which you can buy in a regular store. In mine, they have it with all the whole wheat pasta and diet food. I use it in meat loaf with great success. Re: Re: Breakfast Ditto the Oat Bran cereal. I do mine with milk instead of water and put a dab of marg (or equiv) in it for richness. Less "oatey" but great for berries. Is this a hot cereal that you cook like oatmeal? Is there a brand you can recommend? Do you think something like oatbran or oatmeal could be used in meatloaf or meatballs in place of bread crumbs?

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 LOL!!!!! (key chain)Just put a few pieces of Whole Wheat bread out on the counter for a day, to dry. Crumble and add to your meatloaf....works great! (Salinas, CA) Well, I'll give it a try. I can't guarantee the outcome, but I'll give it a shot! <grin> Betty Boop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 1/2 cup Salsa Sauce (more or less depending on your tastes) Thanks, but I have 2 questions: What does Salsa Sauce taste like, and what kind can we get that would be ok for SB? I Salsa is spicey, then I might substitute tomato sauce instead. Betty Boop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

's Meatloaf 2 lbs. ground beef or pork 2 eggs 1/2 chopped onion 1/2 chopped Bell pepper 1/2 cup Salsa Sauce (more or less depending on your tastes) Dry, whole wheat bread crumbs or just tear dry bread into small pieces. Salt and pepper Shape into loaf, put into pan.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 We like Herdez Salsa. Ortega is another good brand. It comes in Mild or Spicy. Salsa gives the meatloaf " zip " which it needs. Otherwise, you might as well grind up cardboard and bake it. LOL You've never had Salsa???????? Do you live on another planet??????? LOL. Salsa is diced tomatoes, onions, chiles and other seasonings. Some people put tomato sauce on top of their meatloaf, I prefer putting Salsa inside the loaf. > Thanks, but I have 2 questions: What does Salsa Sauce taste like, and what > kind can we get that would be ok for SB? > > I Salsa is spicey, then I might substitute tomato sauce instead. > > Betty Boop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people put tomato sauce on top of their meatloaf, I prefer putting Salsa inside the loaf. As it turns out, I ending up having some Salsa last night at my niece's house. I told her about putting the Salsa in the meatloaf and she thought it was a great idea. I tried the Salsa (unfortunately, I tried the Salsa with tortilla chips), and I think I'll like it in a meatloaf but wasn't crazy about it on its own. It was mild, and even that was too spicy for me.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I am curious as to where you live beings you've never had Salsa before! It's a staple, here in California. LOL (Salinas, CA) I kinda thought it was a staple in most of the country.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I'm glad you got to try Salsa!!!!!!!! Salsa and chips are so good. You can buy whole wheat tortilla chips at Trader Joe's. You can also make them yourself (right Betty????) using whole wheat tortillas or whole wheat pita bread. I am curious as to where you live beings you've never had Salsa before! It's a staple, here in California. LOL (Salinas, CA) In case I decide to try, how would you make the tortilla chips (As Bart Simpson once said "I can't promise I'll try, but I'll try to try!) I live in Rhode Island, and we have salsa in all the grocery and convenience stores, my niece and friends have it all the time, I just never tried it because I don't like food that is remotely spicy, except very mild chile. Which is actually part of the whole cooking problem. No one likes my cooking very much, because it's so bland to them. And if I make it the way other people like it, not only am I guessing as to how much spices to put in, I end up not wanting to eat it. So I just gave up on it a long time ago. I'll give you a hint as to how bland I like my food (or maybe why I like it bland) When I was growing up, my dad had an ulcer. The doctor gave him a choice of going on a very strict, bland diet or having about 1/3 of his stomach removed. He went for the diet. My Mom started cooking the meals for his diet (no pepper, no spices, nothing fried, all vegetable and pastas & rice really overcooked so they'd be soft...just the opposite of SB), and it didn't bother me in the least. The only thing she would make for me sometimes is spaghetti sauce, but even that I don't like spicy....the bland jarred kind is fine by me. Well, now that you know more about me then you would have ever cared to have asked, I'll proceed to tell you how I managed to screw up day one of Phase 2. I really blew it yesterday. Went to a cookout, wanted to try some salsa. Figured, "what the heck, this can be my cheat day" (great thinking for day one of Phase 2), and proceeded to have 3 or 4 handfuls of plain tortilla chips with the salsa. Then it was on to Bratt (sp?) sausage on a torpedo roll, a hamburger with 2% American cheese, on a bun, potato salad, 1/2 of a deviled egg, 1/2 wine glass of Lambrusco, the sweetest red wine known to man, and then a slice of pound cake with whipped cream. I had a loaf of 100% whole wheat w/oat bran bread with me, that I could have used in place of the buns to minimize some of the damage, but, oh no, I went right for the white flour. I woke up with a headache today....maybe a carb hang over? Betty Boop >In a message dated 7/4/2004 1:53:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time, >chzkaks@y... writes: > >>You've never had Salsa????????
