| Hi Azza, I PMed you yesterday with an answer. It is better to post these questions in the General Discussion thread, as this thread is mainly for recipes. Also more people will reply in the General Discussion thread, as not everyone reads the recipes thread on a daily basis. Thanks!

I just found this soup recipe online and it looks like a keeper for veg day.
Acorn Squash-Broccoli Soup Puree
Cook one acorn squash (or microwave) until uniformly soft.
Steam a few short stalks of broccoli florets (or microwave) - use half the amount broccoli to acorn squash.
Chop ½ Onion
Chop fine 1 clove garlic
1 T. olive oil
1 Can Chicken Broth (or turkey broth)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Pumpkin Spice to taste
Cook acorn squash then slice it in half, remove seeds and let it cool to room temp.
Steam the broccoli and let cool to room temp.
Saute the onions and garlic for a few minutes in a pan with olive oil.
Add a can of chicken broth to onions and heat for about 5 minutes, then turn off and let cool.
Scoop out the cooked acorn squash from it's shell and place in a food processor along with
all other ingredients and puree.
Heat and serve.
Serves 2-4

Another way to enjoy milk,
"Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie"
Lowfat milk (2%, 1% or skim)
Walden Farms Calorie Free Peanut Spread
Walden Farms Calorie Free Fruit Spread, any flavor, I did mine with strawberry
Ice (optional)
Combine in a blender and enjoy.
I've never experimented with this but I have tasted WF's chocolate dip and I'm sure it'll taste pretty good if you mix it into the milk by itself or in place of the fruit spread on the above recipe.

My Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe modified for the diet, you can try this as an alternative to deli slices.
1 Whole Turkey (or Turkey Parts)
Olive Oil Non Stick Cooking Spray
Crushed Garlic to taste
A tsp of oregano
Adobo seasoning (found in the 'ethnic foods' section in your grocery aisle) *or* garlic salt and pepper to taste
Marinate overnight for best taste
Slow cooker:
Place in slow cooker and set it on low for 6 to 12 hours depending on the weight of the turkey.
Conventional oven
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
6 pounds or less, 4 hours
8 pounds or more 5 hours
I recommend about 250 degrees so you can bake it for longer. The slower it's cooked the more tender and tastier.
This isn't my recipe perse, it's a Puerto Rican recipe. I'm Puerto Rican and when it comes to food we're all about flavor, and this simple combination of seasonings makes just about any meat very flavorful. You can even try it on chicken or pork.
The original recipe calls for regular olive oil, canola oil or vegetable oil. I've discovered that cooking sprays are an excellent fat free/cal free alternative.
