Several times I have seen not to mix veggies... but in the downloadable p2 cookbook there are several recipes that use chopped onion along with another veggie (tomato, cabbage, and some of the soups).

Can someone let me know? Granted it's only like a tablespoon of chopped onion in the recipes.... but I don't want to mess anything up or go off plan.
TIA for any advice.

These look great! But we still need an answer to combining veggies - I, too was under the impression that this is a no-no. Anyone have an answer?

I love the Meatloaf recipe!! but it gave me some "issues" later in the day

Don't know if this is correct forum for this but I can't find another that fits so if not... I apologize.
Today as I was shopping I was intent on finding something to make my coffee taste better and this is what I found:
Sugar free Torani syrup Chocolate and Caramel flavors
Serving size 2 TBS
Calories 0
Total fat 0g
Sodium 5mg
Total carbohydrates 1g
Sugar 0g
Protien 0g
I added 1tbs fat free organic moo (not skim *I messed up not buying fat free SKIM,* so 90 cal)
2 tbs caramel syrup
1 tbs splenda
rest is folgers or any unflavored coffee...
Better than just black with splenda or other sweetner! Satisfied my mocha cravings

Also, instead of grissini (which I can not find) and Melba toast I bought Finn Crisp Caraway thin crisp bread.
same cal. as Melba
no fats
no cholesterol
less sodium 85mg vs 125mg in melba
less carbs 10g vs 13g in melba
2 grams of fiber vs 1 gram in melba
protien is 1g vs 2 in melba

These crackers/thin crisp bread are thinner but longer and they are packaged so as they are not broken up AND they do taste better (in my opinion) Just thought I'd share

Just found this recipe for miracle noodles on the web. Have to tweak to make P2 friendly.

Vietnamese Noodle Soup

Preparation Time:10 minutes Total Time: 20 minutes


Ingredients:
3 cups organic reduced sodium chicken stock
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp minced ginger
1/4 tsp cardamom
1- 7oz bag of Miracle Noodle Angel Hair Noodles
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast sliced crosswise into 1/8 slices
1 cup bean sprouts (not P2 friendly)
2 scallions, sliced into 1/4 inch pieces
1 tsp chili sauce(optional)
1/2 lime, cut in half
1/4 cup chopped cilantro


Method
In a 3 quart saucepan, bring chicken stock to a boil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger and cardamom and let simmer for 10 minutes.
In a colander rinse noodles with warm water for a couple of minutes, pat dry with a small hand towel or paper towel to remove excess water. Divide noodles into two bowls.
Add chicken to stock and let cook for 5 minutes(until completely cooked)
Pour soup into bowls over the noodles. Divide bean sprouts between 2 soup bowls then top each serving with half the scallions and chili sauce. Garnish bowls with a slice of lime and pieces of cilantro.

I could swear I was at the Vietnamese restaurant, but without the calories!
