We should make weekly posts...

That's a great idea. Besides sauteed chicken cutlets with peppers and onions I dont really have many.
Sides is where I have the problem.
Does anyone know how to make stringbeans?

With diet recipes for lunch for the whole week. And we each submit one and then follow it for the week. Like today I made broiled turkey burger with steamed broccoli. But now I have no idea what to make for the rest of the week!

Mmmm that does sound yummy! I'm having turkey burgers tonight for dinner.

I get the lean ground turkey, add 1 packet of hidden valley ranch mix, a little breadcrumb and make patties and grill them on a grill pan! So flavorful and you don't even realize you're eating turkey!

I usually use frozen and sautee them in a pan with 2 tsp of olive oil and then I slice garlic but add them to the beans at the last minute so the garlic doesn't get bitter.... So yummy!

I stink at steaming but I recently tried the Ziploc Steamer bags that you can find in supermarkets and they work great. I take any fresh vegetable and add some seasonings. It even tells you exactly how long you should microwave them for. They are perfect for weekday dinners.

Yum!!! Great ideas! Im going to write them down. Radiant, sides is where I mess up too. Im so not good at making them. Im on my way soon to BBB to get a steamer though. Im just gonna steam everything. lol

I bought plastic steaming bags at the grocery store. You just take any fresh vegetable, throw it in the bag, put it in the microwave and it's steamed!

Ooh I forgot about those!!! Great idea. Cause who knows how much Id use that steamer. It would probably end up underneath the counter for years.

We have a steamer and it's a PITA! It 's ginormous and had so many trays for this and that...The bags are the way to go

I Made stuffed pepper with turkey chopped meat no rice or bread crumbs

cauliflower mashed potato

What seasonings do you add to the veggies (when steaming)?

Oh I am going to get those.

It depends on the veggie. I usually put minced garlic or garlic powder on everything. But I also use 'italian seasonings' alot (its a mix of basil, oregano, rosemary, etc). You also don't have to use any liquid when you use the bag. Its great.
