Thanks everyone for the continued adding on of new and different recipes. I have always liked to try new things, while there were and are other times I just keep it simple. We each have our own needs. Using some of the various suggestions for meals helps me to keep it fresh, inviting, and keep a good rotation of various different foods for each day. In doing this I do avoid using particular foods too much and avoid also creating triggers, that could lead me into a relapse.

One thing that I enjoy once a week is making the egg salad. I use two hard boiled eggs, chop them fine, add 1/2 tablespoon of clean mayonnaise, and 2 tablespoons of Plain non-fat or Low-fat yogurt as a condiment. Mix together and serve on 3 Lundberg rice cakes. To make a complete breakfast I add one serving of milk and one serving of fruit.

I have also done this mixture with chicken, tuna, or ham. However my main concern is always that I only use this once in a week. I enjoy it so much that I don't want to abuse it, and while many have a problem with rice cakes I have found that using these guidelines and this brnd of rice cake it works for me. This advise was shared with me by a sponsor. I buy them from the health food store, and do not use the regular grocery store bought brand rice cakes that are highly processed and taste in my opinion like cardboard or styrafoam.

I tried Margot's mush recipe recently when I had to take the car in for service and was really pushed for time and it was easy and quick and tasted really good. I used frozen berry mix (no added sugar) and topped it with 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. I'm planning to use it on the weekend when my schedule gets switched around a bit.

add 1/2 cup of raw rolled oats (the long cooking kind) to 2 beaten eggs (and I just used a quart size casserole dish to mix it up in and then used it in the microwave - fewer dishes)
I weighed out 6oz of the frozen berry mix (Trader Joe's berry medley with cherries) and mixed them in. Microwaved it for 2 minutes on high and then gave it a stir and then another 2 minutes. Topped it with the 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. I forgot to add the cinnamon, I was in such a rush that morning and it still tasted just fine.

Thanks so much for this recipe - I usually enjoy it once a week. Yesterday, instead of the pear for fruit, I made it using chopped apples (gala) and left the skin on the apple, more fiber as well as pretty presentation (yellow white and red) and I really liked the natural sweetness of the apples too. Mine were in the freezer so I did microwave them just a bit first. Yummy!
