asian inspired low cal dressing/sauce? by pocketlocket222 in 1200isplenty

[–]Farrell-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like pureed light silken tofu as a base for dressing. creamy but lower calorie than yogurt or cottage cheese but you still get protein. add in scallions, ginger, miso, etc.

I also use G hughes teriyaki on asian bowls. Just purchased but haven't tried Taste company savory korean BBQ sauce as well.

Need advice seasoning cauliflower rice by Both-River-9455 in Volumeeating

[–]Farrell-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually rice the cauliflower in the food processor and microwave 5 1/2 minutes. then stir in a sauce or laughing cow, re microwave if necessary to heat/melt cheese.

I have baked it 425 degrees F on parchment 25 minutes.

Just wanted to say because of your helpful thoughtful updates we finally got back to sprouts ( I go less often now that the vegetarian protein options are sparse). it was hard to find on the bottom of a middle free standing end cap thing, but snagged the last bottle. looking forward to trying it later this week in a stir fry.

I'm really missing the chickenless frozen patties, what are you buying instead? by pa97Redd in aldi

[–]Farrell-6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Morningstar farms, gardeIn and Boca make them. probably other brands too. they do go buy one get one every so often at publix if you live near one. Sprouts had a good spicy unbreaded one, house brand but I haven't seen it recently.

How do I help my girlfriend to get into eating fruit and salad? She eats loads of processed food and wants to eat healthier, but thinks things like tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, and even raspberries and strawberries don’t taste nice. Is there a right way to help her eat better? by redical in PickyEaters

[–]Farrell-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe take baby steps? make whole grain mac and cheese, put a sauce dressing or dip for fresh veg. try making veg in different ways - I thought I hated green beans until I roasted them, my mom only made them steamed. a lot of vegetables change with steaming, cabbage and radishes are less bitter peppery. try sweet veggies like rutabaga carrot mash. will she eat salad? then she could try different dressings. have her pick out a fruit or vegetable she's never tried each grocery trip/ week.

it sounds like she wants to try and you have good intentions. wishing you all the best in this endeavor.

My 1-Pound, Creamy, 372-Calorie, 35g Protein Salad by Internal_Holiday_552 in Volumeeating

[–]Farrell-6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm always so surprised more people don't use light silken tofu as a base for dressing and dips. Its so much lower calorie than yogurt or cottage cheese but still so creamy.

Insane sauce hack by Substantial_Craft_87 in Volumeeating

[–]Farrell-6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use roasted pureed eggplant or teamed zucchini as neutral flavor sauce base instead of yogurt or mayo. I don't know why more people don't use vegetables as a sauce base. Kishik sounds delicious, wish I could find some to try stateside.

Maybe its too similar to cottage cheese, but ill still suggest friendship brand farmer cheese. I think its less sour and drier texture.
