Thread: What did you make to eat today?

Today I am cooking lasagna and to make it a little bit healthy I am adding spinach

My mother makes this kind of shepherd pie that she calls 'hamburger pie'. Cook ground beef, mix in a can of tomato soup and green beans and then you put a layer of mashed potatoes on the top and cheese on top of that. Then bake in the oven. One time to make it low carb (and actually organic too, I bought all organic ingredients) I got Mrs fuego to use the cauliflower 'mashed potatoes' and put it on top. I mean you really couldn't tell the difference without anything to compare it too. Gave it to my sister and BIL to see of they could tell (I didn't tell them until after they ate it) and they didn't even notice. Your brain just kind of turns it into mashed potatoes since that's what you think they are.

Anyway, cauliflower can be used as a substitute for a lot of things if you're going low carb. I think I've read some make pizza 'dough' out of it too.

Rice Cauliflower has become so popular it is now available in the frozen food section...

Had not thought of using it with Shepherds pie...yes it really does taste VERY similar....

Oh, and if anyone is interested in trying it, you can go to the Green Giant website, sign up, and print a $1.00 off coupon.

It actually allowed me to print two coupons that I used when I went grocery shopping today.

For breakfast we had eggs scrambled with a blend of fresh spinach, kimchi, and crumbled bacon seasoned with turmeric

Kimchi is a nooooooooooo for me.

My salad today.

For lunch, an almost burned grilled cheese sammich and for supper, left over meat loaf sliced and fried with leftover boiled potatoes fried in butter, cooked carrots and a selection of raw veggies.

Its been years since I've made this from scratch...pierogies! I made two kinds, potato and cheese and kapusta (sauerkraut) and they both turned out great. :)
