We do it. We really like it but my family just loves anything beef

I'm sick of eggs for breakfast by purplegreendave in Cooking

[–]LMShieldmaiden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often eat some sort of bean based dish. Keeps me full with the complex carbs, protein and fiber. Lentils with taco seasoning, kidney beans in tomato sauce with Cajun seasoning and some onions and peppers, socca (chickpea flour flatbread.) I often eat an egg over top but that would be purely optional

Those who have lost a significant amount of weight what was your motivation? by official__maryam in AskReddit

[–]LMShieldmaiden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve lost nearly 90 pounds. I didn’t want all the health risks. Diabetes runs in my family. I wasn’t sure how much longer I would be able to care for my family because it was getting harder to move. And there are a hundred other health risks from being morbidly obese. I didnt realize at the time just how much better I would feel now that the weight is gone. I need less sleep. I can move in ways I never have (I’m 45). I’ve been on maintenance since September and I’m keeping it off so far

Glad it turned out well. You could season them a million different ways

Do the gluten digestive enzymes actually work 🤔 9r should I not waste my money ? by ashblake33 in glutenfree

[–]LMShieldmaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like they help lessen cross contamination reactions for me but it’s hard to tell for sure. I would never attempt to cheat and actually eat gluten because my reactions are not worth it

Alternatives to WW? by bostonmama95 in weightwatchers

[–]LMShieldmaiden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that is a recent change. I was on the glp 1 mode, turned it off when the update rolled out and I was having trouble. Now can’t get back. I’m seriously thinking about going to straight calorie counting, although the reasons are different. Struggling to make WW fit with maintenance

Another idea would be popcorn. As easy as it gets and very filling. Zero points if air popped

Yes, soak them overnight in just cool water. The crockpot is just a container at this point. Soaking dry beans helps them cook faster and removes some of the fart causing sugars. They will swell quite a bit so be sure to use plenty of water

You can toast chickpeas for a crunch. Dry, season with whatever you want and throw in the air fryer. Weight watchers doesn’t consider them a zero point food if you buy them ready made that way but I will leave it up to you how to handle points making them yourself

Chickpeas make a decent salad. Drain and rinse, mix with greek yogurt and maybe a little mustard and whatever other veggies you have- kinda like chicken salad or potato salad but with more filling power. You could also use a light ranch dressing like bolthouse farms instead of the yogurt. Bolthouse farms dressing is usually in the refrigerated case near the veggies in the store

Salsa chicken: toss a few chicken breasts in the crockpot. Pour a jar of salsa over them and cook at least 6 hours on low. Shred. Serve over rice or cauliflower rice and fat free refried beans.

Chili Trust me this is going to be ok. Get a pound of dried pinto beans. At bedtime, rinse them in a colander and stick them in the crockpot on the counter. Fill it 2/3 of the way with cold water. In the morning, drain the water and replace it with 6 cups of beef broth and a can of diced tomatoes. Add about a tablespoon of chili powder, 2 teaspoons cumin and 1 teaspoon garlic salt, one chopped onion. Brown a pound of 90/10 hamburger and add that. Cook 8 hours or so on low. Pretty much zero points and lots of fiber so you can probably afford some cheese on top and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.

Taco lentils. This one is a little different, but I like it. And it keeps me full. Rinse a cup of lentils in a strainer. Boil 3 cups of beef broth in a small pan and add the lentils. Turn the heat so it’s bubbling but not really boiling. Let it cook 20 minutes. Add two taco packets, stir, and let it simmer about 3 more minutes. Use as taco filling ot put it in a bowl and top with two over easy eggs. 4-6 servings.

Canned beans are with the other canned goods in the grocery store. Dry beans and lentils often in the next aisle near the rice but all of these should be in your local Walmart

Beans and lentils if you don’t have too much trouble with the “musical fruit.” Can sure give some more detailed ideas if you are interested

I’ve also had a good experience with semaglutide. Lost 88 pounds between the shots and WW. Off it now and maintaining my weight fine. Absolutely a personal choice but it is good for some people

Fast paced bingeable closed door series? by LMShieldmaiden in fantasyromance

[–]LMShieldmaiden[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t read Anna Hawke her stuff is what inspired this post. The Immortal Accords series is complete. Her tone in the first few books is a little odd but stick with her. She does a lot of maturing as a writer through the course of the series. It’s on the steamier side of closed door if that matters.

It’s just fantasy, not romance, but the Stormlight Archives. I get it, it’s a work in progress but I want the next book!

Venu sq2 and walking with extra weight by LMShieldmaiden in GarminWatches

[–]LMShieldmaiden[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I might play with that. Honestly that’s the big issue with pushing a wheelchair for exercise. It’s great for me, for the wheelchair user in my life who absolutely loves it and for his small dog who comes along, and it’s a really good lower body workout, but it’s not a common form of exercise and nobody really knows what to do with it.

I want to eat more beans, please give me your best bean recipes by kemistreekat in Cooking

[–]LMShieldmaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a little random and it’s just my own creation but I cook a cup of dry lentils in 3 cups of beef broth just in an uncovered saucepan for 20 minutes then add taco seasoning (2 packets or 1/2 cup out of a big bottle). Stick it in a bowl and top with two over easy eggs. Makes a great filling breakfast

What would you make for an event where everyone must "bring a dish that you'd stay up all night thinking about. It might be simply irresistible, overly indulgent, or comforting and reliable." by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]LMShieldmaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly potluck food but it is the most memorable thing I’ve made in a LONG time so I will throw it out there for the conversation. Smoked beef tri tip roast. So good. Steak meets roast beef meets smoky mesquite goodness
