Hi Karen.

Your friend's brother would definitely thrive on Let's Do Lunch, and it is so kind of you to offer to cook for them. I hope they decide to do this.

Here are a couple of Waldorf Salad recipes from the recipe boards -- one with protein and one without, though neither have cottage cheese. Both are by our beloved LDL chef, Little Mary. In fact, I am having the Waldorf Chicken Salad for lunch today. It is sooooo quick and easy, and both my hubby and I love it. I used to reach for a sandwich when I was in a hurry -- now it is almost as fast to throw this salad together! Mmmmmm-mmmmmm good! 

There might be another variation in the book that has cottage cheese in it, but I am always changing up the recipes and rarely serve them exactly the same way twice. This is a great salad no matter what!

Thanks Roger, I love that salad, I even leave the raisins out just apples and celery.  That was breakfast today with corn chowder minus the meat. Karen

Does this salad keep well for several days?  I'm single and when I cook/make salads, its usually on Sundays and I will eat on that for the entire week.

Hi RedKat

It never lasts more than a couple of days at my house!  But it doesn't seem to change at all over a few days, even with the grapes sliced in half. I think the fresh lemon juice serves as a preservative. Anyway, there are lots of delicious salads here, but I have to say, the chicken waldorf is still my favorite!

Enjoy

I'm all about salads.  I must have missed this one in the book, but then I'm only on my second reading.   I definitely will have to try this one. 

Blessings,

I made the LDL recipe last night and enjoyed it for dinner.  I could not find a reference to it in the text of the book and so bought a Kindle copy that let me search the text.  Found it was OK to have in the evening.

Today is Day 5 for me, and I'm struggling with being tired and irritable.  I gather that may be because toxins are leaving my body.

I struggled in the beginning when I was getting rid of the toxins.  To begin with it seemed like I was doing wonderful and then it hit me.  But it doesn't last long and then you will have days where you have all kinds of energy and then pretty soon you will just feel great everyday.  It is not this way for everyone but just hang in there it does get better.  Are you eating enough fruit and protein to take care of cravings and give you stamina?  The bean soups will keep you feeling satisfied and I find the recipes for chicken and pork loins also make me feel satisfied all day.  Hope things start looking up real soon for you.

Thanks for the encouragement, Wendy.  I have been eating only lean meat for some years.  With this diet, I'm eating much more fruit than usual.  I'm not craving anything, which is good.  After I made the first post, and spent a couple of hours at my computer, I felt better than I had earlier.  I will trust that my body will adjust.
