DeLurker October 18, 2017 Share October 18, 2017 Hi @mamadani - I'd probably start with eating fresh fruit and vegetables at every meal. I tend to eat raw cut up vegetables so that usually eliminates the high fat and extra calories of a dip or a salad dressing. I also eat a lot of salads, but I make my own dressing so I am more conscious about what goes in it and how much of it I use. Also portion control is really important - I was surprised to find out how skewed my idea of what a serving size should be versus recommended serving size. I peruse the site onceuponachef frequently for meal ideas. For me, I find the style of her writing, pictures and explanations really helpful. I was a decent cook at meals I was familiar with, but I found trying new recipes to be very intimidating. This site is more chatty in the descriptions and all the recipes have reviews, including questions asked and answered.

Roast at 450 degrees until pink - about 3 minutes. Set aside. Saute sliced zucchini (one medium) in a little olive oil until starting to get softened, Add a 14 oz. can of chopped tomatoes. I use Hunts Fire Roasted. Add some thyme and heat through. Stir in the cooked shrimp. Serve over 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice per person.

Bastet December 8, 2017 Share December 8, 2017 (edited) Heh, you hit on some of the many changes I made. Basically, I loved the list of ingredients, but thought the instructions for putting them together were nuts. As for spices, I didn't change those; I thought I would wind up wanting to, because I love really spicy food, but they actually combined for the perfect flavor that let the turkey shine through. Here's my version: 2 cups shredded cooked turkey (mine was thigh meat) 4 cups turkey stock 1 14-oz. can whole peeled tomatoes, quartered 1 onion, chopped 2 gloves garlic, chopped 4 oz. chopped green chiles (I used jalapeño) 1/2 tsp (generously scooped) cayenne 1/2 tsp (generously scooped) cumin 1 T fresh lime juice 1 T chopped cilantro 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese 1 avocado, diced In a large pot over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic with cayenne and cumin until lightly browned (I used turkey fat, as I had some left, but you could just use oil). Add tomatoes, chiles, and stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Add turkey. Simmer 15 minutes. Stir in lime juice and cilantro, season to taste with salt & pepper (and add any additional cayenne/cumin needed), and simmer another 15 minutes. When serving, add avocado and cheese to each cup/bowl. Edited December 8, 2017 by Bastet 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12531-i-need-a-recipe/page/9/#findComment-3878297

JTMacc99 December 8, 2017 Share December 8, 2017 Thank you. Cooking the onion and garlic was also on my probable modifications. I'd definitely go with your version. It would be for me and my son, so I have to figure out what he might object to with the final product. I think the only thing I might see is large chunks of tomato, but that's about it. I can work on that. Everything else I think he shovels into his mouth and asks for more. And this is an excellent way to use up the turkey I froze after Thanksgiving. The other thing about this recipe is if I ran it through the Weight Watchers calculator, it would tell me it's something I could shovel into my mouth and ask for more depending on what I do with the cheese at the end.

Bastet December 8, 2017 Share December 8, 2017 There are very few applications in which I will eat cooked tomato (LOVE them raw, though, but only in season), which is why I only use half the amount called for in the original recipe. Tomato does go nicely with the other ingredients, so I left it in, but an entire large can just seemed like way too much tomato in what is supposed to be a turkey soup, even if I was more fond of cooked tomatoes. For me, the smaller can is perfect. You could always use diced tomatoes if the big chunks would cause hesitation on your son's part. And, yes, depending on how heavy-handed you get with the cheese, this can be quite a healthy soup. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12531-i-need-a-recipe/page/9/#findComment-3878379

Bastet December 12, 2017 Share December 12, 2017 (edited) Presumably by the time Christmas rolls around, I'll be out of my funk, but right now none of my (myriad) veggie sides are sounding like The One. I do what seems like a hundred things with Brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale, spinach and other greens, asparagus, etc. but none of them are speaking to me in contemplating the menu right now. So, I'm looking to spark my interest via a new-to-me twist on the usual ingredients: What are your favorite warm sides based heavily on green vegetables other than green beans or peas (or at least non-root vegetables - they can appear but not be the main ingredient - and when it comes to squashes we like the sweet ones used in moderation only)? For pairing purposes, which I don't think is all that much an issue, Christmas Eve dinner will have prime rib (or possibly beef tenderloin, but definitely beef) as the main course and Christmas will feature ham. There will be some sort of greens-based salad with each (thus the request for warm dishes as the veggie side dish), plus a starchy side - probably potato-something with the prime rib and macaroni salad with the ham, but my mom is in charge of those, while I take the salad and veggie side, and I don't think she's decided - so there need not be a huge number of ingredients involved in the dish, as there's plenty else going on in the meals, but it's also not a problem if there are. How healthy it is also doesn't matter; it's the holidays. I may very well fall back on some favorites - e.g. a spinach gratin one night, a Brussels sprouts and walnuts dish another - and be quite happy, but I always like getting ideas. (Also, I prefer to eat seasonally, which can make my yes and no list seem out of touch for this time of year, but I'm in southern CA where I can get a lot of stuff locally - meaning grown locally, not shipped from another hemisphere and sold locally - for a much larger chunk of the year than many, and we are having an incredibly mild winter, so I have a lot of options. So if you're thinking of recommending something, yet hesitating because, well, that ingredient would taste like shit or have to be shipped from halfway around the globe this time of year, that's not necessarily true; toss it out there and I'll take it from there.)

DeLurker December 12, 2017 Share December 12, 2017 I love the creamed spinach at Ruth's Chris - it is probably pretty similar to gratin. I've never made it before though - can you make it ahead of time (same day) and heat it up when needed? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12531-i-need-a-recipe/page/9/#findComment-3889855

The secret to it being extra tasty is a pinch of nutmeg. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12531-i-need-a-recipe/page/9/#findComment-3890897
Lisin December 17, 2017 Share December 17, 2017 We're big fans of doing a sweet potato and apple grain, similar to this but we sort of wing it and don't have a real recipe. That one is close, but I hate onions so no onions for me. But I suppose if you like them they'd be good. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12531-i-need-a-recipe/page/9/#findComment-3900204
ebk57 December 17, 2017 Share December 17, 2017 Speaking of sweet potato and apple gratin, I've been making this since I got the magazine in 1982. The magazine has the butter at 1 stick, not 6T. Also, I've never used the chestnuts, just the potatoes and apples. (And I may have over-measured the rum part...) I use a 13x9 pyrex pan for this as I take it to the in-laws for dinner. Love the pyrex that comes with the pan top and hot/cold carrier! https://fairshares.org/recipes/rum-glazed-sweet-potato-apple-chestnut-gratin Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12531-i-need-a-recipe/page/9/#findComment-3900351
