  • Chicken & Sun-dried Tomato Orzo (Makes 4 Servings)

    Ingredients:

    8 ounces orzo, preferably whole-wheat
    1 cup water
    1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed), divided
    1 plum tomato, diced
    1 clove garlic, peeled
    3 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram, divided
    1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
    2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed (1-1 1/4 pounds)
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    1 9-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
    1/2 cup finely shredded Romano cheese, divided

    Directions:

    1) Cook orzo in a large saucepan of boiling water until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and rinse.

    2) Meanwhile, place 1 cup water, 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, plum tomato, garlic, 2 teaspoons marjoram, vinegar and 2 teaspoons oil in a blender. Blend until just a few chunks remain.

    3) Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Transfer to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm.

    Instead of buying spaghetti sauce, I use a can of crushed tomatoes. I season however I like, usually crushed garlic, parsley, and italian seasoning. Sometimes I'll combine it with meat for a meat sauce, but I also add a can of tomato paste for marinara sauce.

    Crushed tomatoes - 40 calories per serving (1/2 cup or 100 g)
    Tomato paste - 139 calories a can

    It's not too bad considering that the leading brands of spaghetti sauce are 70 calories per 1/2 cup.

  • Grilled Filet Mignon with Vegetable Kabobs (Makes 4 Servings)

    Ingredients:

    1 lemon, zested and juiced
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1 tablespoon dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    16 cherry tomatoes
    10 ounces white mushrooms, stemmed
    1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1-inch pieces
    1 small red onion, cut into wedges
    1 pound filet mignon steak, 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick, cut into 4 pieces

    Directions:

    1) Preheat grill to high.

    2) Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, oregano, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a small bowl. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini and onion to the remaining marinade; toss well to coat. Thread the vegetables onto eight 10-inch skewers. Drizzle the vegetables and steak with the reserved marinade.

    3) Grill the steak 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium. Grill the vegetable kebabs, turning frequently, until tender and lightly charred, 8 to 12 minutes total. Remove the vegetables from the skewers and serve with the steak.

    Tip: When using wooden skewers, wrap the exposed parts with foil to keep them from burning. (Contrary to conventional wisdom, soaking skewers in water doesn't protect them.)

    Here's a couple recipes I've made that I love. The banana wontons are my favorite sweet treat:

    Spinach Frittata

    Cooking spray
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    1 red onion, chipped
    1 and ¼ cup part-skim ricotta
    1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
    11 egg whites
    1 egg (yolk and white)
    1 Tablespoon nonfat milk
    1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon dried parsley
    ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    ½ cup whole wheat bread crumbs
    10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed
    1 Tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated

    Serves: 8

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray bottom of 9 inch pie pan with cooking spray.

    Place skillet over medium heat, add oil. Saute onion 3 minutes. In bowl, mix ricotta, cheddar cheese, egg whites, milk, mustard, oregano, parsley, pepper, garlic powder, bread crumbs, and onion. Wrap defrosted spinach in clean towel, ring all liquid out. Fold spinach slowly into egg mixture. Add mix to pie pan. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

    Bake 40 minutes. Let stand for 10- 15 minutes to settle before slicing.

    Tip: If you have frozen spinach, remove the onions after softening and add spinach to the pan for a quick defrost.

    Options:
    • Add crispy turkey bacon to mix before baking
    • Swap red onion for green onions

    Nutritional Tidbit: Spinach contain lutein, which prevents cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.



    Guiltless Corn Chowder

    Cooking Spray
    1 Tbsp olive oil
    2 turkey bacon slices
    1 large onion
    2 carrots, chopped
    2 celery stalks, chopped
    2 medium baking potatoes, chopped small
    ½ green bell pepper, chopped
    15 ounces frozen corn
    1 bay leaf
    1 Tablespoon fresh thyme
    1 teaspoon paprika
    1 teaspoons cayenne pepper
    Black pepper to taste
    1 and 1/2 tablespoon flour
    6 cups low-sodium chicken stock
    2 cups skim milk
    Chopped parsley, for garnish

    Nutritional Tidbit: Corn is a great example of a whole grain and is a good source of vitamin B1, Vitamin B5, folate, fiber, and Vitamin C.

    Serves: 8

    Spray interior of a large pot with cooking spray. Place pot over medium to medium-high heat and add olive oil. Chop bacon slices, add to oil and cook until crispy. Add onion, carrot, celery and cook for 2 minutes. Add potatoes, bell pepper, bay leaf, thyme, paprika, cayenne and pepper. Reserve 1/3 of the corn, add the other 2/3 and cook 10 minutes. Sprinkle flour into vegetables, stir for one minute until you can’t see the white flour any longer. Add chicken stock. Cover and bring to a boil.

    In a blender, puree the reserved corn with the milk. Lower soup heat to a simmer, add milk and corn mixture to thicken. Simmer 5 minutes.

    Remove from the heat. Pull out the bay leaf. Stir in parsley and serve.

    Tip: For added flavor, roast potatoes and peppers under the broiler before adding to the pot

    Serving Suggestion: Hollow out whole-wheat or sourdough dinner rolls to make single-serving soup breadbowls or serve with baked tortilla chips.

    Options:
    • Use any mix of frozen or fresh vegetables that you enjoy
    • Add one pound of diced chicken once the broth is in, cook for 8 minutes before continuing with recipe



    Banana Won Tons

    Cooking spray
    1 banana
    ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon vanilla (to your taste)
    1 packet Splenda
    ½ Tablespoon sugar (I like Sugar in the raw)
    12 won ton wrappers

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

    Mash banana, pumpkin spice, vanilla, and splenda. Lay won ton wrappers out. Place small dollop in center of each wrapper. Lightly wet edges of wrapper with water, fold over to make a triangle. Push edges together or mash edges with fork.

    Spray cooking sheet with cooking spray. Place filled wrappers on sheet. Spray all with cooking spray. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 12- 14 minutes. If won tons haven’t quite brown enough, turn them for the last minute of cooking.

    Makes 12 pieces

    Tip: Be careful not to overfill the wontons – the filling will seep out.

    Serving Suggestion: For a big finish, drizzle with no-sugar chocolate syrup or thin ribbons of melted caramel. Or dust the serving platter with powdered sugar. Serve with a non-fat vanilla yogurt for dipping.

    Options:
    • Exchange bananas for drained canned peaches or pears
    • Hold the sugar on top, brush with an egg white before baking

    Nutritional Tidbit: Bananas are rich in Vitamin B6 and supply 11% of your daily value of of potassium. Lack of B6 can cause weakness, irritability, and insomnia.


    Not Quite Brownie Brownies

    Cooking Spray
    1 cup sugar
    3/4 cup Splenda
    ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    ¼ cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
    ½ cup all-purpose flour
    ½ cup whole-wheat flour
    ½ teaspoon baking powder
    7 egg whites
    5 ounces baby-food prunes
    ¼ cup non-fat plain yogurt
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

    Serves: 30

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Spray 13x9x2 glass baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bow, combine the sugar, Splenda, cocoas, flours, and baking powder.
    In a second bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Slowly stir in prunes, yogurt, and vanilla. Add the egg mixture to the flour and beat until combined. Fold in nuts.
    Pour batter into baking pan. Bake 30 minutes, or just until knife comes out clear. Cool, cut, and serve.

    Tip: If dark cocoa powder is too strong, try traditional, unsweetened cocoa powder.

    Serving Suggestion: Sprinkle with powdered sugar or frost with a low-fat frosting.


    Nutritional Tidbit: Prunes contain betacarotene and can help prevent cancer. They also contain Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Niacin and Iron.
