New Topic 500-Calorie Diet in Recipe Requests - General
"Has anyone ever tried to do the 21-day VLCD (very low calorie diet) in conjunction with hCG drops? It's pretty restrictive, but if anyone has developed any recipes to vary the monotony I'd like to see them. I just posted one that is really tasty (Very, Very Low-Calorie Quich..." 4 hours ago on Food.com

Reviewed Quorn Shepherd's Pie With Cheesy Top
"Quite good! For traditional recipes like this one, quorn works much better than the soy crumbles. I am a vegetarian who doesn't insist on something to resemble the texture of meat---but my husband (NOT a vegetarian, by any means!) does enjoy the illusion that he's having a Manly Meat Meal---and he says that in dishes like these, he can't tell the..."

Reviewed Quorn Chili
"I cannot believe I've been a vegetarian for over 16 years, and never tried this product! I had used the soy crumbles as a meat sub in chili, lasagne, etc., but not quorn. I am now a HUGE fan! What I like is that (unlike the brand of soy crumbles I'd used) quorn is not pre-seasoned, so that I can add my own herbs and spices to taste. This is qui..."

Reviewed Spicy Baked Sweet Potato "fries"
"Delicious and addictive...hint: to achieve a crispier more "fry"-like fry, put some flour in a plastic bag and toss to lightly coat after rubbing the fries with olive oil and spices. This keeps them from being too limp when done...to me, the resulting crunch really moved this up a notch."

I've loved to cook ever since I got that Easy-Bake oven for Christmas at age five! There is no food I truly dislike (except processed junk, of course). I became a vegetarian about 16 years ago, but before that, one of my favorite things was fried chicken livers. I still kind of miss those! I'm not a purist; now and then a bit of grilled salmon is irresistible...so I've stopped trying to label myself!
I love to get out and ride my bike around town, and spending time at the gym working out with weights and swimming is one of my ways of relaxing and feeling good. I'm lucky to live just half a mile from a grocery store, so on nice days I like to take my handy rolling market cart and walk there. Sometimes I do my best menu-planning while strolling along the sidewalk!
My married daughter in San Antonio got my "cooking gene" for sure. We love nothing better than getting in the kitchen together when I visit her, or when she comes home. Holidays are our favorites---we like a "pretty presentation" and doing the tables, centerpieces, and so forth, as well as trying new recipes and menus.
The only sort of cooking I'm not overfond of is grilling out, but that's fine; my husband is the King of the Grill and takes over when we entertain out on the deck. I'm happy to do the appetizers and sides in the INDOOR kitchen!
I love Italy and France, and have many recipes scribbled on napkins from my trips there. I'm in an Italian study group, and the six of us enjoy getting together and trying recipes. My husband and I are also in a supper club, and each month there's a different theme: this summer we hosted a luau with a variety of tropical dishes.
I was excited to be chosen "Chef of the Day" on October 17, 2009! Thank you, Recipezaar, and all the friends/fellow cooks I've met here. Let's keep on cookin'!

"If you have done the Hcg VLCD protocol ("Very Low Calorie Diet") you know that staying within 500 calories/day for 21 days is not easy! And because one cannot have more than one sort of vegetable with the two protein meals, things get boring fast. So I've been toying with creating recipes that meet the strict criteria, and this is by far my favor..."
