Ok...so I have lost 90lbs..35 more to go but I need help. I have never been able to tolerate the protein shakes so I get my protein through the food I eat which is protein, protein, protein, with a side of protein. I would like some new menu items. Something for the novice chef. I add cheese to everything that I eat because it doesn't take much to add 7 more grams of protein to whatever I am eating.

I am kind of a plan Jane kind of eater....:(

I love the recipes on theworldaccordingtoeggface.com. They're all easy. I make a breakfast casserole or a turkey meatloaf and it lasts for a week.

You look fabulous by the way!

I really like the slow cooker, its simple, not too involved and generally makes things easier for my pouch to digest.

You look good, girl. I remember your struggles with protein shakes etc. I also like eggface's website. I use the egg bites and make many of my own versions with things I like. You use a mini muffin pan and they are great. I make batches of them and throw them in the freezer and then microwave them for 30 seconds and I'm good to go. I like cheese as well so you could do eggbites with cheese, some chopped ham or turkey or whatever other protein you like.
