Re: I hate the scale today

Loana - I am just like you! I need simple foods. I am a terrible cook and really just do not enjoy cooking. I would definitely add more veggies into your day. If you nervous about eating too many veggies,then climb to rung 1 of OWL and add some more veggies - then you can hang on that level for a while. I found a stuffed green pepper recipe that I love. Do you like green peppers? I will gladly share the recipe. It is so easy, so it fits my bill perfectly. I need to start branching out a little with the foods too. I have been having pretty much the same things everyday.

Re: I hate the scale today

That is great! It always helps to have someone close working on this with you. My first time on Atkins my DH did this with me and we both had awesome losses, but I cannot get him to join me this time.

You are doing so great!! Its motivating to see you push through the tough times.

Re: I hate the scale today

Jenna - here you go...I really love this recipe (I also have it posted in the recipe thread on STAC that is still going - BTW, lots of great recipes on there).

Okay, so this recipe was from Linda's site, with a few modifications:

Stuffed Peppers

2 green peppers, halved and seeded
1 pound ground beef
Onion
garlic salt/powder to taste
salsa
cheddar cheese (or some other shredded kind you like - I've also used mexican) - leave some cheese for top of peppers

Parboil peppers for 3 minutes, remove.
Brown and drain ground beef
Add onions, cook until translucent
garlic to taste
when done, add salsa and cheese
Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees
melt cheese on top of each pepper.

I love this recipe. The salsa really kicks it up a notch for me and keeps the meat moist if you choose to use it for lunch the next day. The original recipe called for tomatos, not salsa, I believe.

Re: I hate the scale today

Okay, don't tell anyone, but I buy jar salsa. As I mentioned, I'm not much of a cook, so I tend to buy convenience type things.

Re: I hate the scale today

Thanks for the recipe. Gosh, i thought i spelled that word wrong... doesn't it look weird - RECIPE. I am thinking "ree-sype." Ever do that? Look at a word and it just looks.... WRONG. Or you forget to spell something simple, like "was" - ha ha ha.

Sidetracked... anyway, thanks for the recipe! I tried that mock danish this morning - wow - that was good! And easy too... i like it simple!
