I have an abundance of mushrooms thanks to a fantastic deal at Aldi this week. This is one of my favorite recipes using veggie burgers. I'm actually using "recipe crumbles" which were not in existence when this recipe was created. They work just fine. I'm sure that Gardein's fake beef cubes or Quorn's fake chicken cubes would also work with this recipe.

Thanks for the link.

It's called "Recipes for Peace", and has recipes from numerous politicians, religious leaders, celebrities and British Royalty. It was put together to promote peace in Ireland/N. Ireland. I was happy to see that this one was online.

and they already ate the sweet potato fries. And are going to try to make donuts for tomorrow.

If they work well in that thing too, I am going to be in trouble.

hamburgers are a treat with our new ______ (diet? lifestyle? healthy eating habits? regimen?)

so 4% fat hamburgers on wheat buns with onion, tomato, relish and sharp cheddar Cougar Gold cheese (also a treat)
baked sweet potato fries
green salad
1/2 sugar free/half regular cherry jello with lo fat whipped cream and sliced strawberries for dessert


the good news we're both only 10 pounds from our dream weight in 23 months of steady work. we've both lost a solid 40 pounds, with 10 to go!

I use a little bit of white cheddar on my homemade pizzas.
I go really light with the cheese these days, but pizza has got to have cheddar and feta.

Congrats on the weight loss! Thats wonderful. I need to do the same.

sweet potatoes whipped with a very little bit of butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, allspice, meyer lemon juice/zest. For the kids, I made those flying spaghetti monsters (hot dogs with spaghetti cooked inside). They LOVED it! The kid who never eats anything, had a blast with these and ate everything. Thanks, Lucinda, for bringing this weird recipe to our attention. The two little ones in my family loved it.

I really like offbeat recipes, we should all post more of them. It's fun.

And your meals sounds delicious. I haven't had much of an appetite for the past couple of days, but you guys are making me hungry!

And it's 2 am. Bad combination!
It all sounds delicious.

Haven't made a single noodle, yet. :/
Bill's SIL is supposed to bring her pasta gizmo over one night and play in the kitchen with me, I need to jog her memory!

Does anyone have any advice on steaming the noodles? The package just says steam them for 7 minutes and drain v. instructions from the intertubes says steam them for 2-5 min, take them out and stir and then, repeat.

I don't want to wind up with a soggy mess.

I'm clueless, I thought chow mein was with fried noodles.
Bill cooks lo mein noodles to death, but his sauce saves it. The man can cook Chinese food!

but under fried. lol

The seasoning was perfect. Could have used more veggies, too. I love the dish. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

I'm cooking nothing!

If I lived closer, we could have snuck out somewhere for dinner!

The gathering was planned and catered by the guys. The bought two 3-ft. heros and pizza, plus chips & dip, etc., etc. for three people! Mr. Pup brought home a chunk of the Italian hero to share but I'm sure his brother and guest were bewildered when he left to come home at the beginning of the 4th quarter so he could beat after-the-game traffic.

tossed salad.

No snacks....and while I love football, I just am not into this year's Super Bowl.

It was really good and really filling. We had some pink shrimp with horseradish cocktail sauce and Scoops and dips for picking while we watched the Super Bowl.
