Im hoping to get some ideas

:)

My familys favorite would be Jenny-o italian meatballs, spaghetti sauce, kinnikinnick hot dog buns and mozzarella cheese.

I love it because it just takes a few minutes when Im in a hurry.

What is yours?

Bell and Evans Patties w/ spagetti sauce and shredded mozz for fake - and quick - chicken parm

(done in 25 min)

Chef Salad with Purdue Short Cuts

Homemade nachos - Tostitos gold (They don't get soggy), browned ground turkey w/ taco seasoning, black beans, chopped onion, shredded lettuce, diced tomato and LOTS of mexican flavored cheeses..............Layer.....cook for 8 min to melt the cheese down.

We have it down to a science --- I chop while hubby browns the meat ---- quick and always a good stand by when we're exhausted.

Turkey spinach burgers --- 8 minutes to broil ---- got this recipe from Racheal Ray.....don't remember exact amounts.

Tonight I made uncured beef hotdogs and Bush's baked beans.

Pasta with meat sauce is another quick meal.

Ian's fish sticks or chicken nuggets with some microwaveable potato wedges from Costco.

My family loves stir-fries for quick meals. We add some frozen shrimp and a bag of frozen veggies. When it's pretty much all cooked we add some red pepper flakes, some soy sauce, and some peanut butter. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top! Delish!

corn tortilla smeared with spaghetti sauce sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder and onion salt, top with cheese (add diced ham for a treat) and bake for 7-9 minutes in the oven (depends on how crispy you want it).

Yum thanks so much for the ideas :)

I had no idea there were fish sticks that were gluten free. My husband will love those.

I take bone and skin on whole chicken breasts, season with herbs or spice mix and roast. Add steamed veg and/or salad, pop some packaged fries in at the end or add cut potatoes and/or other root veg to the roasting pan. I roast one extra breast and save it for next day's salad lunch.

I work fairly long hours and my wife doesn't cook much so pretty much quick meals are all I eat during the week. Here are some staple foods for me:

* Bell and Evans grilled chicken - This is already cooked and ready to defrost

* Bell and Evans chicken burgers - I make these on the grill but are also fine when heated in an oven or toaster oven

* Dr. Praeger's gluten free fish sticks, fillets and fishies - These are delicious and much better than the Ian's fish sticks

* Applegate farms uncured turkey franks - pretty good tasting and very low fat

* Glutino Tuscan Chicken (and other frozen entries) - kind of small so you have to supplement with something else

* Kettle Cuisine Gluten Free Chicken Noodle soup -- really yummy and no MSG or other crap.

* Get Healthy America gluten free entries -- these are really great (especially the Chicken Cacciatore), but somewhat expensive (around $8) and possibly only available around Long Island, NY. Some of these contain corn and soy so you have to be cautious if those are a problem.

* Uncle Ben's Ready-Rice (Brown or White only) -- these are the only safe varieties

* Other plain pouches or frozen pre-cooked brown and jasmine rices (various brands)

* Frozen veggies of all kinds

It's also a good idea to cook up a batch of gluten free rice pasta, quinoa, brown rice or millet and have it as a leftover side dish for a few days.

Regards,

Ted

Nachos or to cos are always good. I buy the Foster Farms pre-cooked frozen chicken strips from Costco. We also do spaghetti with frozen Chebe bread sticks and salad. We also do Alfredo about once a week right now. It is delicious, simple, and so fattening!

Alfredo Sauce

Melt 1/4 cup butter in sauce pan

Add 1 cup half & half or cream and bring to a simmer

Add 1 1/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese (I don't measure, add until you get the right texture. :rolleyes: )

Add in meat if desired.

purple Community Regular

Have tacos the first night, cooking enough meat so the next night you can have nachos. Use all the same toppings adding guacamole with the nachos.

Chilidogs without the bun or use leftover baked potatoes

Spaghetti with meatsauce instead of meatballs, veggies or salad

Chicken and rice stir fry using minute rice and frozen veggies

Enchiladas

      I am also figuring this out.  So how about emailing me at swalesdiana@gmail.com and lets figure this out together

      In 70-year-olds, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) levels are significantly lower than in young adults, typically around 20% of youthful levels, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov). This decline is a natural part of aging, with DHEA production decreasing from its peak in the third decade of life. While some studies suggest potential benefits of DHEA replacement in older adults, particularly in women, results are not consistently positive across all studies.

      Welcome @bold-95.   That's a tough situation.   Understanding DHEA Deficiency in Menopausal Women A major cause of hypothyroid is iodine deficiency.  In the 60's bread had 90 mcg, milk 100 mcg per cup and we used iodized table salt.  A sandwich and glass of milk supplied 300 mcg,  Now in the US bread does not use iodine as dough condition, milk has a bad name and table salt is avoided.  Net reduction from 1970 to 1984 of 50% of iodine intake.   Urinary iodine levels (mg/dL) in the United States, 6-74 years of age NHANES I, 1971-74 Median 32.00 2NHANES III, 1988-91 Median 14.5 NHANES 2000 Median 16.1 There has been a trend for increased prescribing of levothyroxine (LT4) in the United States.  LT4 was the tenth and seventh most commonly prescribed drug based on the number of prescriptions in 2005 and 2006, respectively. From 2008 to 2011 the number of LT4 prescriptions rose from 99 million to 105 million, with LT4 being the second most prescribed medication.1 From 2012 to 2016 the number of annual LT4 prescriptions increased steadily from 112 million to 123 million, with LT4 being the most prescribed medication.2,3 During 2017 and 2018 LT4 was the third most prescribed medication, with 98 million Levothyroxine prescriptions trends may indicate a downtrend in prescribing. DHEA and hypothyroidism are linked, with some evidence suggesting that low DHEA levels may be associated with hypothyroidism.

      For minor aches and pains, my go to is Original Alka-Seltzer.  Aspirin and bicarbonate.  It is dissoved in water before you swallow it so no tablets to aggravate the stomach wall.  The bicarbonate buffers the stomach acid for upset stomach. Willow bark contains a chemical called salicin, which is similar to aspirin. It has pain and fever reducing effects in the body. The last time I took Advil for serious pain it spiked my BP to 190. Some blood pressure medications have been linked to rib pain or musculoskeletal pain as a side effect.  I had to stop Atnenolol because it had me bent over like a 90 year old with a walker.  Another med prescribe by my doctor left my knees unstable.  Currently, Losartan has weakened my back and thighs.  Can't walk to my mailbox at the street and back without having to rest my legs.  Upper body is however increasing muscle mass.  No one believes me though; think I'm malingering.  Those blood pressure meds also had no effect on my BP, but doctor wants me to continue on (man up, its good for you, with the Losartan + clonidine.  What has been working is Clonidine.  It has lowered my BP. but it is considered third tier BP med.  No side effects and it lowers my BP from 160+ to between 115 and 139.

      @bold-95, welcome to the forum. Rib pain can be caused by Chondritis, an inflammation of the cartilage in the ribcage or breastbone.  Vitamin D deficiency causes this condition and Osteopenia. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small intestine, making absorption of nutrients like vitamins difficult.  Nutritional deficiencies result.  Diseases can be caused by not having enough of certain vitamins and minerals. Vitamins are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from food or supplements.  Vitamins are crucial to our bodies functioning properly.  Eating a nutritionally dense diet is important, but to correct nutritional deficiencies, supplemental vitamins are needed.   Over the counter pain relievers like NSAIDs and PPIs can cause additional inflammation and damage to the small intestine.  OTC pain relievers worked for me but they hurt my digestive system worse.  Yes, Cobalamine Vitamin B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 have an analgesic effect when taken together.   I'm leaving links below so you can see for yourself.   Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins.     https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/#:~:text=Disregarding pain resulting from vitamin,three are given in combination.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/   B Vitamins in the nervous system: Current knowledge of the biochemical modes of action and synergies of thiamine, pyridoxine, and cobalamin https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31490017/   Role of B vitamins, thiamine, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin in back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33865694/   The Combination of Neurotropic Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 Enhances Neural Cell Maturation and Connectivity Superior to Single B Vitamins https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11987730/
