How about really thick (eg unmashed) homemade vege soup? I am living on it at the moment, its so yummy and warms me up on the chilly days.

I have made so much over the past few weeks that I have a freezer full in meal sized portions

Mmmmm so yummy ]]> Mon, 03 May 2010 15:18:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1014578&title=healthy-food#1014578 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1014496&title=healthy-food#1014496 Author: lilfatty

Do you have kitchen facilities at work? I tend to make my chicken stir fry fresh each day ... or whatever I plan to eat.

I fill our fridge and freezer with my food and then just cook what I feel like at the time.

Vege lasagne is yummo!]]> Mon, 03 May 2010 14:21:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1014496&title=healthy-food#1014496 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1012748&title=healthy-food#1012748 Author: fire_engine

Mmm, stuffed potatoes .... Corn thins with dip and tomato sounds good (see, it's the veges that swung it - I'm craving fresh veges).

Signature Range Pumpkin soup works for me, and I was looking through a recipe book yesterday with Pea and Ham soup and thought "nom nom nom" as my DS would say. Might have to get the slow cooker out.

The problem is that by the time I go to eat it (esp at work), I no longer want it ]]> Sat, 01 May 2010 13:47:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1012748&title=healthy-food#1012748 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1012275&title=healthy-food#1012275 Author: High9

I did the same as Mrs_R when pregnant. And I also ate a lot of fruit which I found filling for snacks.]]> Fri, 30 Apr 2010 21:18:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1012275&title=healthy-food#1012275 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1012273&title=healthy-food#1012273 Author: High9

What about nut bars, or making your own.

You could make soups and have bread with it...

Rice and veges...

Can't think of anything else sorry...

What are you craving though? If anything... That might give you an idea... Although I craved lemons ]]> Fri, 30 Apr 2010 21:17:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1012273&title=healthy-food#1012273 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1012255&title=healthy-food#1012255 Author: Mrs_R

For snacks, I've been raiding the bulk bins and stocking up on nuts and dried fruits - I keep a bag in my desk at work, which I find great.

I've also been doing 'breakfast for lunch' sometimes - a yummy big bowl of toasted muesli with yoghurt and extra dried fruit.

ETA: I think you can get dried 'vege chips' the supermarket too - not the vege crisps you get that are like fake real chippies, but actual thinly sliced veges that have beed dried or something ?!

Corn thins with a dip spread on top (I like lisas feta and garlic), and topped with a slice of tomato and salt and pepper.

raw veges and dip.

Pasta salad. You could put things in it like grated carrot, courgette. sliced cucumber, raw or roasted capsicum, spring onions e.t.c. Then use pesto or salad dressing as a dressing.

Or pasta salad made with roasted veges and pesto

Potato cakes made with instant potato. I just make it up with less water then it says on the packet, add a bit of flour to help it stick together, some herbs and very thinly sliced capsicum and onion. You could even add some ham or something.

Baked potatos. Bake the potato in the oven or microwave, let cool, scope out the flesh and mix it with what ever you want (I used thinly sliced veges and sour cream), put back in potato and bake till hot. Could even put cheese on top.


Those pita chips are great with dip.

You could even try vege sausages if you don't much like meat at the moment. The vege supreme ones are the best.]]> Fri, 30 Apr 2010 21:01:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1012235&title=healthy-food#1012235 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1012044&title=healthy-food#1012044 Author: kebakat

Use pita bread instead of a tortilla]]> Fri, 30 Apr 2010 18:47:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1012044&title=healthy-food#1012044 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1012043&title=healthy-food#1012043 Author: fire_engine

The problem is I really don't like crackers of any form at the moment or eggs or canned meat

Yes, I am my own worst enemy

Keep the suggestions coming -- I'm sure my food preferences will change in a week and I'll be able to use them!]]> Fri, 30 Apr 2010 18:46:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1012043&title=healthy-food#1012043 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1011989&title=healthy-food#1011989 Author: Kellyfer

Rice crackers or bagel crisps are a healthier option than chips, and taste great with salsa or cottage cheese or even a little cream cheese. Most dips are ok as long as they are kept cold and you use them quite soon after opening. You could have carrot/celery sticks, or raw cauliflower, capsicum or whatever to go with and satisfy the healthy craving just make sure they are washed properly.
Using wholegrain bread for sammies instead of white will also keep you fuller longer, as will having a high fibre breakfast.
You can also get tinned chicken, which is a good tuna substitute if you don't like fish... as far as I know its not on the bad food list. Also egg (properly cooked... no runny bits) and cheese are good ways to add protein. As with anything, keep it cold until you are about to eat it.]]> Fri, 30 Apr 2010 17:54:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1011989&title=healthy-food#1011989 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1011973&title=healthy-food#1011973 Author: fire_engine

I need advice ...

I'm craving healthy food ATM with veges - "healthy" being along the lines of Subway, chicken cashew stirfry .... It's costing a bomb.

Has anyone got tips of easy stuff for lunches that's healthy AND filling. I hate fish/tinned meats etc so adding tuna or salmon to stuff is a no go.

So far, I'm thinking tortilla packed with veges and sometimes ham from the sealed packs. I just don't know if it would have enough protein, carbs and filling stuff.

Also, snacks that are filling. I'm not craving chips or anything but I am tending to eat them in the afternoons cos they fill me up. But I would prefer not to become a beached whale again. I have a popcorn maker but hate plain popcorn (and with the amount of maple syrup I put on, I'd be better off to have chips) ....]]> Fri, 30 Apr 2010 17:41:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33167&PID=1011973&title=healthy-food#1011973
