I just add it in dry to my meatloaf as I am mixing it all together.  Been doing that for years.

I also use the TVP chunks in chili w/ground turkey.

That sounds SO good! I love goat cheese. I'm definitely going to try that!

I would like to go apple picking with my Mom this year since we haven't been in awhile. But what good are barrels and barrels of apples if you can't make anything with them!? I just love apples. I'll try anything that apples are included in. Does anyone have any good apple recipes, WLS friendly of course.

Or, if not apple recipes- any Fall recipes? My FAVORITE Fall recipe is vegetable beef soup. I know it sounds plain jane, but I make my soup on the day of the first snow fall each year (which is usually in late Fall where i live) & freeze it in small containers to use all winter.

I start with beef stock, then I brown some ground beef (although I'll most likely use turkey this year, since I tend to have a problem with beef since my RNY). Then I add veggies like canned tomatoes, frozen peas, frozen potatoes, frozen green beans, frozen carrots & any other veggie I can find in my freezer. I like frozen veggies as opposed to canned because I like how frozen veggies keep their crunch. I used to put corn in it, but I'm not allowed corn for a year after surgery. If you're allowed corn, by all means- add it. Then i add some different seasonings (I usually don't keep track of which seasonings I add, its whatever I'm in the mood for). I've even sometimes added white beans (which I probably will do this year for the protein!).  Vegetable soup is a pretty cheap meal. You could probably find the veggies at a dollar store or buy the store brand and you won't spend over 2-3 bucks a bag. The stock isn't expensive at all.

Anyway, let me know if your favorite either apple recipe or Fall recipe. Thanks!!

wow thanks everyone!  these all sound so good!!  looks like i will be baking soon!
