Oh man!! I LOVE Dolmades!!

You could make them healthier using ground turkey breast & try to get Grape Leaves in a jar with water & not oil (if possible).

Yeah, thats what I get - grape leaves in a jar with water...and thats a good idea - the turkey ground meat, never thought of it...

Try & get the ground turkey breast instead of regular ground turkey -- you'll save a lot of fat that way.....

Here is another one:

BEEF STEW

Cut up some onion and sautee it in a pot (with a non-stick spray)
Cut up the meat in small cubes and add it after the onion gets soft
after the meat is not red anymore add some water and spices and cook it
when the meat is done, cut up 2 potatoes (or more, depends how big they are) in cubes and let them cook with the meat
when all that is completly done, turn off the stove and in a pan put some olive oil and let it get hot. Add 1 spoon of flour and let it get brown and add paprika on that. After all this, pour this in the pot and with a spoon stir it and thats it


I kinda wanna see what everyone thinks of these foods, cause I cant count cals or prot on them

This is healthier & you won't notice the lack of Tahini:

Hummus

* 1 can garbanzo beans drained,save juice
* 3 teaspoons lemon juice
* 3 cloves garlic peeled (adjust to taste)
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon pepper
* Hot pepper sauce, as desired
* If desired, add some olive oil, veggie broth, Apple cider or Red Wine Vinegars

Add all ingredients to food processor, process until smooth, add reserved juice to attain a spreadable texture. Adjust seasonings.

** For added flavors, roast the garlic, then add; add sesame or flax seeds/oils; chopped sundried tomatoes; roasted red peppers; chopped olives; etc etc etc

Hummus is great as a dip for veggies, as a sandwich spread on a meat or veggie only sandwich or with crackers.

Oh the cheak peas, ok...I thought its something else. I am in Michigan now, they have a lots of yougoslavian and arabic stores here; I love'em, cause I can get almost everything that I'm used to eating. They have the hummus cans already made - u just need to add lemon, garlic and olive oil. Now thats the real arabic hummus. My fiends mom always makes it and she gives me like 2 containers of it. Its gone in 3 days...nice veggie dip, with some carrots or celery...yummy
