I don't have a photo but here is a Mac & Cheese recipe with a twist!
1/4c dry quinoa (approx. 1c cooked - cooked with water for this recipe)
1oz grated cheddar cheese (i use sharp, ymmv on different flavors)
calories:280
carbs: 31
fat: 12
protein: 14
fiber: 3
sodium: 172
you can skip the butter, milk, and flour when you use quinoa instead of pasta because it's nice and fluffy on its own so there's no need to make a sauce!
feel free to season to taste on either recipe, being mindful of the sodium in salt/salt blends. it's also really good baked!!!0 -
No pic :sad: but next time I make it I'll have to add - This is Great for winter as we near it....
CROCKPOT Beef Stew/Soup - warning....its kinda spicy (that's how I like almost everything) but that's what gives it tons of flavor with no salt added in a soup -
1 lb cubed stew meat (quick brown outside of meat in pan (optional))
1-2 Cups water (to taste)
1 can Del Monte No Salt Added Diced Tomatoes with basil and garlic
Fresh White Pearl Onions (boil for 3 minutes then remove and peel off outside layer)
(this is the only real effort in the whole recipe)
Small red potatoes about 15 (I buy a bag of blushing belle) - cut in 1/2
1 Jalapeno (cut into like 3 large pieces - this is more for flavor - you can dice it up to eat if you want - but I just leave it in to float for flavor)
1 can diced green chiles
1 container (3 cups) Swanson Beef Cooking Stock UNSALTED (not low sodium)
Aside from the little directions above on the meat and onions - throw it all in a crockpot and cook on low for 5+ hours

Speedy Poached Apple
I feel that I am almost cheating calling this a recipe. I often crave something sweet and this fits the bill.
Take a medium apple with skin and wash it and core it.
Put it in bowl with a little water and a teaspoon of cinnamon sprinkled over the cored apple.
Microwave in oven for 1 minute.
Enjoy - can be served with fromage frais if you wish.

2 eggs
3/8 (29 ounce) can pumpkin
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C). Grease a 12 cup muffin pan, or line with paper muffin liners. Soak raisins in hot water for ten minutes to plump, then drain.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ground cloves. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, pumpkin, and applesauce, until smooth. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to make a smooth batter. Stir the raisins and walnuts into the batter. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Enjoy! This is such a great recipe and easily adaptable for what you have on hand- like I don't keep ground cloves so I'll just use pumpkin pie spice. Thinking of adding some maple extract and using splenda for the next batch!0
