Green Monster Rice :) (yes I made that up :P)
2 cups(measure before cooking) brown rice, cooked = about 8 cups
10 diced roasted garlic cloves ( I roast a whole bunch then freeze them in ice cube trays)
toasted sesame seeds (toast them in the pan them put them through the spice grinder, I do these in big batches)
Ginger (dried inthe dehydrator then ground)
pepper
lemon juice (about 2 tblsp)
low sodium soy sauce
1 pkg frozen spinach or fresh if you have it
1 large onion
1 head of celery
6 small zucchini
chop onion, celery sautee in pan( I use water to start them off but you can use oil if you prefer)
add spices
then add spinach, zucchini and lemon juice , soy sauce, add more water if you think it's sticking
then add the cooked brown rice, simmer until zucchini is cooked 5-10 minutes
This dish takes about 30 minutes to prepare and cook
Yes, we will have a weekly checkin each MondayQuote:

3/4 cup raisins

2 cups almond milk (regular milk if you like)
2 cups homemade applesauce
2 tblsps of cornstarch
Omit the nuts if you want les calories per serving and add a chopped banana or more cranberries
Combine all dry ingrediants, except cornstarch
combine applesauce, almond milk and cornstarch, stir well
Lightyly spray a 10 x 14 pyrex or other baking dish add mixture and press down firmly
bake at 325 for 45 minutes (30 covered , 15 uncovered)
Serve with topping if you like. I put a little applesauce on top and some almond milk. It's best when warm. Other toppings could be soft tofu mixed with some applesauce, or you can get a low fat whipped topping. :)
Ok sounds good :)Quote:

We've been making super-chunky apple sauce (McIntosh and cinnamon) and freezing it in yogurt containers. Snacking on them as popsicles or warmed up as single servings. With a square of Lindt 85%. hmmmm...you could melt it over top of the warm apple sauce. Not too many calories and it's within my snack budget.
This is NOT directed to anyone on sc.....it's for my " other " friends.

There's a $1 off WW Sweets (cookies, cakes), $0.75 off Jolly Popcorn and $3 wub 5 Smart Ones.
I wish you all the best on your weight loss journeys!!
Right now I am trying to gain muscle and a little weight.....protein up to my eyeballs and lots of heavy lifting in the gym...and a good yoga class to stretch things out!
There is a great site out there....just google eat clean diet. Lots of ladies/men posting and some great stories and recipes. It's not a diet but a way to eat the things we were meant to eat...fresh unprocessed foods.
shout if I missed adding you to the list on post 2
anyone else want to signup before the first weigh in on Monday?
Ok I will stop lurking, I have readin this post everyday since it started. Sign me up. I am just aiming for 10 pounds off. Weight Watchers is my plan
