Recipes baby
Lets face it,its come up repeatedly,what to eat?
Post em if you got them
Hopefully Chris stickies this
But you cant eat crap all your life and expect to make weight,also specify if your eating it to go up or come down in weight

Sure thing TM. Let there be light.

Anyways here lays the hidden recipes cut and pasted from the well guarded scrolls of a 5,000 year old gourmet master:

Enter the Oatmeal
1. Throw in your chosen amount of old fashioned or quick oats (not the instant garbage).
2. Cook for 5 minutes (or longer if you like snot...).
3. Add your choice of fruit (frozen works well to cool it down.).
-e.g. strawberries, cherries, mangos, kiwi, avocado, bananas, kumquats, you name it.
4. Add your choice of flavoring.
-e.g. honey, real vanilla extract, choco, cinnamin, spices, almond extract, toe nail clippings, old coffee grinds, blood from 1 year old goat, etc...
5. Top it off with a cup immense gratitude and skim milk if you so desire. You may also add cassein protein to get ready for the long day ahead.

Note: It's always a good idea to use natural sweeteners apart from sugar, such as fruits and/or honey.

Elixer of Zeus (aka Protein Shake)
1. First off, throw in your choice of fruit. This should be done first to allow the blender to do its work without spinning its wheels.
2. Add liquid. (e.g. skim milk, fruit/vegetable juices, anti-freeze, love juices, etc.)
3. Add your choice of protein. (e.g. whey, cassein, powdered milk, crunchy peanut butter, buffalo chunks, etc.)
4. Add your choice of flavoring. (see 'Enter the Oatmeal', example #4)
5. Add some crushed ice.
6. Press the WerRrRrrRRrrr button.
7. Thank Zeus for such a glorious meal and enjoy.

Your a mensch Chris(thats a good thing)

Coming up in weight

My stew

Pound and a half of beef cubed
4 Potatoes also cubed,(skin left on)
Just regular mixed veggies
3 packets of brown gravy
Onion chips
Jambalaya seasoning
salt to taste
garlic powder to taste
a pinch of pepper
1 bay leaf

Simple as pie,in a large pot combine your potatoes,and your beef in a largish pot,cover them with water almost to the top,start them cooking. Toss in dehydrated onions to your own taste
Go somewhere else for awhile,though occaisionaly come back to stir
When you have a hard time seeing anything but brown in the meat add your first pack of brown grave by whisking it in,also add the salt and garlic powder now.
Go somewhere else again
Give it a bit more time add your bay leaf, and whisk in your second pack of brown gravy
Add your mixed veggies,this will cool things down so give it a bit more time to get up to boiling and add your final brown gravy packet
Now add a little jambalaya seasoning(this doesnt take much) leave the kitchen for a minute as it causes sneazing fits
Now mix it all together,and simmer and stir until its tender
Not only does that put some meat on your bones,you'll have leftovers,saving you from having to cook for a bit

Take that Betty Crocker!

I know im about a year behind from your post but reading through this has brought something to light.

Im not sure wether you remember but the other day i mentioned to you that i have always had a problem problem with putting weight on/off. I have always hovered aroung the 130-133 lb mark no matter whether i lived and ate healthy or lived and ate like a slob.

I weighed myself yesterday and i have put on about 6 lb, the only thing i have done differently in terms of food is eating 1-2 bowls of porridge oats every day for the last 1-2 weeks

(this wasn't for any purpose other than the fact i love the stuff and havn't had it since i was a kid)

Is it possible that this has been the reason for such a drastic change?

baked spring rolls (either with tofu or boiled chicken)

they're awesome, and good for in between meals

[thelegendofbeau]

Ingredients

1. 300g carrots
2. Knobs of butter
3. 1 tsp grated orange zest
4. Juice of 1 large orange
5. 1/2 tsp ground or crushed coriander seeds
6. 2 (about 180-200g each) white fish fillets, such as cod, haddock, hake or tilapia (this is also great with fillets of organic or wild salmon)
7. 2-3 spring onions, finely chopped
8. 2cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into fine matchstick shreds
9. 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
10. 1/2-1 fresh green chilli, deseeded and finely shredded (optional)
11. 2-3 slices fresh orange

Method

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Cut out two 35cm rounds of baking paper or kitchen foil. Set aside. Peel and cut the carrots into long thin slices, then again to make long, thin matchstick strips. Place the carrots in a medium-sized pan with a small knob of butter, the orange zest and juice and coriander seeds. Add some water to come just below the surface of the carrots, then cook, uncovered, over a high heat until the carrots are almost tender and the liquid has evaporated. (Keep checking them to make sure they do not burn.) Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and divide the cooked carrots between the baking paper or foil circles.
2. 2. Place a piece of fish on each pile of carrots, then scatter the spring onions, ginger shreds, fresh coriander and finely shredded green chilli (if using) over the fish.
3. 3. Cut each orange slice in half and place 2-3 orange halves on each piece of fish. Season with salt and pepper and add a knob of butter to each parcel. Fold over the baking paper or foil and twist and fold the edges to create a really tight seal. Place the foil or baking paper bags on a baking tray and cook on the centre shelf of the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Open the bags and serve.

tip

Orange works well with fish, often better than the more usual, sharper lemon. And orange is delicious with sweet roots, such as carrots, parsnips and sweet potatoes. Serve this easily prepared dish with microwaved spinach or steamed broccoli.

For anyone looking for good lean protein I think you guys should take a look at bison and venison meat....hardly any fat in those at all. You can make stews or burgers with the ground meat and just cook the medallions like you would a piece of tuna, they are best served medium rare.

I did a veggie stir fry the other night: 1 red pepper, 1 red onion, 3 zucchini, 1 package mushrooms, 1 package cherry tomatoes....seasoned with garlic, pepper, italian herbs, and olive oil.

As for oatmeal, if you add a scrambled egg into your oatmeal it does wonders.
