Has anyone else tried the new Birds Eye Steamfresh Protein Blends? They make several different varieties and they are vegetarian (some may be vegan) and are excellent sources of fiber and protein.

I tried the Hawaiian blend and it was not bad. I've used it as both a side and the main protein/fiber source of the meal. They make several options.

hey Gemme:
Yes, I have tried several of them. I love the Hawaiian, the Thai, & the Tuscan ones. I tried to eat the Asian one..BUT it is way too spicy for me...perhaps it has curry in it? Anywhoski, yes these are awesome & I can make about 3 meals out of them for myself....
Thanks for sharing them...:)

Red Bell Pepper Soup
 
A friend makes this often and I always enjoy it.

Ingredients:

1 Red Bell Pepper
1/2 Cup of Cashews
1/2 Cup of Water

Mix it in a Vitamix or something similar until smooth and creamy.

Eat it cold or hot. I like it hot with a touch of salt.

It's delicious.

I'm getting back to my vegetarian ways after being off the wagon for the last several months. I will still occasionally enjoy a very rare steak but I really do enjoy my mostly-vegetarian ways when I'm on.

Tonight I'm just having a giant plate of vegetables (blackeyed peas, peas and carrots, onions sauteed in red wine and black pepper, and steamed spinach with a ton of garlic and lemon).

What's your favorite veggie plate combo?

Basically any veggies I sauté I mix with rice or pasta 95% of the time (or sometimes a hardier grain). Sometimes even throw them over some couscous or some roasted potatoes. But when it comes down to it bell peppers (mainly red or yellow) and mushrooms (mostly white, but can go brown, oyster, portobello, whatever) end up being the "bread and butter" of a lot of my meals. Then I'll throw in whatever else I have in the fridge with them, often onions and some kind of leafy green like kale or spinach, these days a lot of broccoli. My favourite beans to combine them with are usually brown lentils or chickpeas.

Also kind of depends on the season as well. Now that fall/winter is coming around, cabbage, squash and rutabaga shoot up the list :D

CABBAGE! YES! I often forget how much I love this one (even if it makes my intestines sound like Satan moved in).

Delicious boiled or fried and I love it as a steamed "wrap" with brown rice, peanuts, carrots, ginger, bok choy, and whatever else I have laying around.

try using kimchi a spicy cabbage found in the Asain section to cook veggies and grains in ~ adds a lot of flavor :)

Haha, yeah cabbage can sometimes have an effect the next day shall we say :lol2: But worth the risk imo :p

My personal favourite way of cooking cabbage is slicing it up in large chunks and baking it in the oven with olive oil and some ground black pepper. So damn good! I could probably eat a whole cabbage to myself like that :lol2:

Hey Ang....have you ever tried "cabbage steaks". Cut round 1 to 2" "steaks" of them..brush with olive oil, season with some herbed Italian dry seasoning...bake in over....YUMMMMMM

Gayandgray 10-20-2016 05:30 PM

OMG I love cabbage fixed any way!!!! I even eat it raw with sea salt! :hangloose:

That's pretty much what I was trying to describe earlier, haha, except instead of seasoning we just use ground black pepper with olive oil. So good! Cabbage is addictive as hell.
