Could probably skip the margarine on the toast if you're adding peanut butter anyway. Shouldn't need it. Especially if it's natural peanut butter, margarine will only risk a trans-fat sneaking into your healthy breakfast. Swap the hamburger with ground turkey. The difference should hide quite nicely in both the spaghetti lunch and taco dinner. I'd also swap the 1% milk for soymilk but apparently that's a taste not everyone is fond of. Multi-vitamin? 185/140/155/160 Certainly I don't mind!! but here's my take. It isn't natural peanut butter (although I'm looking into that option since we're running on the ends of the processed stuff). It's also non-hydrogenated margarine (doesn't everything seem to be now a days?). I could skip the step that's true, but I find toast dry without margarine regardless of what I put on it afterwards. Quirky I suppose. Perhaps when I'm looking into the nitty gritties of my meals I'll attempt that step. Who knows, I may like it. For now my focus is on eating better, regularly. snip I have a feeling you're going to be turned off by the "dry" taste of natural peanut butter. Just a hunch from your post above. Many have a tough time giving up the sugary taste and creamy texture of Skippy, Jif, etc. If you can't switch to natural peanut butter, try to keep to crunchy varieties. Peanuts are good, it's the stuff around them that's bad. The more peanuts in the jar, the less room for the bad stuff. 185/140/155/160 Another problem. I hate chunks . I don't even like the big clumps of strawberries in my jam. I don't know why. I just hate eating lumpy stuff with toast. With the margarine the p.b may not taste so bad... hopefully?! I do make one exception to the margarine rule. I don't eat cream cheese and margarine together.... anymore . I find that having just the cream cheese is fine. Maybe I'll find that to be the case with p.b. Who knows. You know what. Next time I have it I think I will try to do a pb solo. I'll let you know what I think. |

We've tried just the soy mixture but it doesn't taste right. Most often the hamburger is used to flavour the tomato soup that we add as sauce. I don't plan to have this often, or at the very least have it only as a side dish to a huge salad. It's not very nutritious and I always seem to be hungry an hour or two later. Have you ever tried making sauce with Tuna? Instead of adding ground beef or pork, toss in can of drained chunk white Albacore Tuna in water. It will break down and certainly doesn't taste like a hamburger or sausage sauce but I use it to change things up a bit. Sort of a quick and cheap Italian Seafood dish. I could use higher quality fish, but I save those for fish tacos. 185/140/155/160 I have never done that.. nor would I have thought of using that. Marinara (sp?) fish sauces don't sound all that appealing, but then again I'm not one for cream sauces either so it may work. I'll pass it by my sister and see what she thinks. |

snip We buy our soy from the health food store, not sure if it's got a brand name attached to it. Normally the half/half is almost non detectable for things like tacos, spaghetti and the like. I'm not sure if I'd ever try making burgers out of it though as it seems it would dry out quickly. I draw the line at burgers. I haven’t found anything that replaces ground beef there. Turkey, soy, veggie, they all fail my taste bud test. A lot of recipes and restaurants serve them with bacon on them. If they’re going to add bacon fat, why bother avoiding beef fat? They’re both saturated animal fats, right? I’ll take it home-made with lean ground sirloin, barbecued and dropped on a whole wheat bun. I’ll find other meals to sacrifice saturated fats in later.

A lot of recipes and restaurants serve them with bacon on them. If they’re going to add bacon fat, why bother avoiding beef fat? They’re both saturated animal fats, right? If you make them at home, you can use lean back bacon, with all the fat cut off. I’ll take it home-made with lean ground sirloin, barbecued and dropped on a whole wheat bun. I’ll find other meals to sacrifice saturated fats in later. Actually, I have a very good recipe for lentil burgers on my web page; they are not the same thing as a hamburger, of course, but they are delicious in their own right! http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/Recipes/Burgers.html -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/88/80kg |
