Merry Christmas

Bryani

Another recipe from Mary McDougall. The book says it serves 4, but not in this house. I usually double this recipe and it serves the three of us for dinner plus enough left over for one serving for lunch the next day.

If you have a slow-cooker, you can also dump all the ingredients in the pot in the morning, set it on Low, and come home to a nice hot meal 8 to 10 hours later.

Fresh Vegetable Chili

This is another family favorite. I'm lazy, I so use canned diced no-salt-added tomatoes, frozen chopped broccoli, canned and rinsed kidney beans, and double the amount of peppers, sometimes using half a bag of frozen pepper strips because a whole pound of that comes out cheaper than one measly fresh green pepper that yields just a few ounces after taking the seeds and stem out. I'll have this either with brown rice or make cornbread.

Back to Soups

Even my husband is ready to get back to plain meals, and today we're having Greeny Beany Soup from the McDougall Quick and Easy Cookbook. I still have to go through my ABM recipes to find a nice loaf of bread to go with it, something with a little tang to it. Maybe I'll just make a basic whole wheat loaf and add a tablespoon of Italian salad seasonings to it, like the Good Seasons fat-free or the one I buy in bulk from Penzy's Spices, which meets McDougall standards.

And the official damage from those donuts was 3 1/2 pounds. One week of healthy eating and they should be gone again. And soon the new MWLP DVD should be arriving to give me that extra boost, too. I need all the help I can get right now.

Updated an old site

I had some times to kill yesterday while my husband took a nap on his last day of vacation, and added some of the more recent recipes to an old web page I had made, McDougall Plan Recipes.

And just when I convinced my husband to let me replace the broken camera, the scanner died yesterday. There goes the camera, and now I have to search high and low to find a scanner that will run with Windows 98.
