Jean in Newcastle Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I am trying this "eat clean" diet. On my menu for tomorrow I'm supposed to eat cottage cheese mixed with apple bits and some grapes on crisp bread for lunch. I hate cottage cheese with a passion! Any suggestions for something that fits the spirit of the diet - a low-fat form of protein that I can have with the bread? I hate crisp bread too since it is so dry but I can tolerate it.

Zelda Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Black beans with a bit of feta or a homemade hummus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Zip it up in the blender or food processor with some garbanzo beans and ranch dressing/herbs to make a yummy veggie dip or dressing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Governess Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Salmon or tuna would be yummy mixed with apples and grapes. Or some shredded turkey mixed up with some plain yogurt might work too. I'm not a big cottage cheese fan either. I can only eat it if I mix pineapple in with it. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needleroozer Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I thought you were avoiding dairy? I would second hommous, or tuna salad. What about some avacado with the grapes on the side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I would second hommous, or tuna salad. What about some avacado with the grapes on the side? Me, too. If it's the kind of hummus LB shares with her friends. We had it for breakfast not long ago, didn't we LB? Yummmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hummus is very yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needleroozer Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Me, too. If it's the kind of hummus LB shares with her friends. We had it for breakfast not long ago, didn't we LB? Yummmm. That is the very best hummus I have ever tasted. I can't remember the brand, but it had olive oil, pine nuts, and parley on top, and it was very delicious! We need to get together again soon, Crissy- that was fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 I thought you were avoiding dairy? Dh is avoiding dairy. So I don't use any in meals that he's eating. But that doesn't include tomorrow's lunch. But I like all of your ideas. I want you to write my menu - we could call it the "Well Trained Diet"!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in a clear container with a red rim on the lid. I think the brand name started with an S. Ring any bells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I want you to write my menu - we could call it the "Well Trained Diet"!:D With the myriad of restrictions and allergies here, I don't think we'd actually have anything to eat. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needleroozer Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 It was in a clear container with a red rim on the lid. I think the brand name started with an S. Ring any bells? Found it! It is by Sabra. I got it at a fancy Thriftway store. It was the very best and yummiest! Well worth the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jubilee Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I never enjoyed the taste of cottage cheese myself until I bought Nancy's:drool: Then again, I used it for a topping on a homemade fruit salad and topped the cottage cheese with honey and granola:tongue_smilie: Not sure how healthy that was but, the kids enjoyed it:lol: Hope you find something that is pleasing to your taste buds!

Needleroozer Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 No kidding...get the large curd cottage cheese, and if you can find it, get Lucerne. It is MILES bettter than anything else...I actually miss LUCERN large-curd cottage cheese. I think ricotta is akin to cottage cheese as re: protein; might give that a look. Venison is very high in protein/ounce. These are things I would rather not know. I wish I could eat Lucerne large curd cottage cheese. Mmmmm. Venison. A friend gave us some ground venison and some steaks last week- I marinated the steaks and sliced them thinly. Cooked them up, and then put them in the fridge. They made a quick and easy taco the rest of the week. Mmmmm. Venison! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsdash Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I would suggest ricotta,too. If you want to whip up your own hummus: 1 can garbanzo beans olive oil tahini lemon juice garlic...whizzzzzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
