Ok, this isn't really a recipe but wowser it's good.
Open one can of Progresson Lite Creamy Potato with Cheese and Bacon Soup
Eat it.
It's the best canned soup I've ever eaten. It's rich and creamy. It tastes like it's full fat. I'm having some now and thought I'd share.
That can of soup gets fought over in our house.
Haha, same here. We do online grocery shopping through Harris Teeter. They put it on sale one week, we bought 20 cans. lol.0 -

Mexican Rice
* 1 lb. lean ground turkey
* 1/2 an onion
* taco seasoning
*1 lg. can diced tomatoes
* 2 cups enchilada sauce
* 4 cups brown rice
* 5 oz. low fat Mexican blend shredded cheese
First cook the rice. While the rice is cooking dice the onion and saute it for about 2 minutes. Next add the ground turkey and cook until browned. When cooked, add the taco seasoning. Open the tomatoes and drain. Now it is time to assemble.
Take the rice and spread it in a pan, then take half the enchilada sauce and pour it on top. Continue with the ground turkey and the tomatoes (you can also add corn or black beans if you wish). Finish by topping with the rest of the enchilada sauce. Bake at 350 for ten minutes and then take it out of the oven and top with cheese. Put it back in the oven and cook until cheese melts.0 -

Anybody know if you can get this in Canada? At 20 cans and all the rave reviews I must try it!

I'm glad you liked them. I love how easy they are to make and that you don't feel guilty if you get a little carried away with eating them. I haven't tried the peanut butter idea but I am going to. I think with that protein it will balance it out perfect!0 -

Second batch today, I added the PB and a tablespoon of chocolate syrup (150 extra cals total) and then baked them. They were really good. I got 9 cookies out of the batch so that only added a few extra calories per cookie.Great recipe Mimi0 -
I went to a cooking class and they did these but with cinnamon and a bit of sugar. I like to roast for longer because I like them crispier. I hope it's OK i'm posting here. I'm not on Team Bob but Team Jilian doesn't have any challenges or posts so I thought I'd look at the other teams for some tips and motivationChickpea Snack
Drain and rinse one can of chickpeas
Toss chickpeas in some olive oil and cayenne
Bake at 450 for 30 minutes
This was in my food Network magazine. I tried it today and thought it turned out good as an easy high protein snack. I imagine you could change it up just fine by trying different spices.
Love chickpeas, I do this with a mix of chickpeas and edamame. Add a little cumin too. Very good and you are right very high in protein. Great recipe.0 -
Easy Marinated Chicken
Rub raw chicken breasts with pepper and garlic salt.
Marinate chicken in 1/3 cup canned pineapple chunks (with juice) and 1/2 tbsp. soy sauce per breast in an airtight container for 10 minutes or more.
Pour chicken and marinade in a baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake 20 - 30 minutes at 350 until fully cooked.
It is great over brown rice and served with steamed broccoli.
This looks yummy. We eat too much chicken around here. This will be a nice change of pace.0 -
My favorite lunch. I make it and put it a mason jar. Portable and yummy!

No-Bake Chocolate PB Bars
(sugar-free and gluten-free, too!)
1/4 cup peanut butter (you can probably sub another nut butter)
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons raisins
salt to taste (I used a little over 1/4 tsp, but I like salty pb cookies!)
2 tablespoons roasted, unsalted peanuts (Or maybe another nut, if you’re allergic to peanuts? Also: If you can only find salted peanuts, reduce or omit added salt)
1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder (to taste)
optional: chocolate chips, either before or after blending (or both!)
Throw everything into a food processor and combine until very smooth. Roll into balls or bars.0 -
I love these!
Hot Fudge Brownie Larabars
1 cup walnuts (120 g)
1 and 1/3 cups pitted dates (220 g)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3-4 tbsp cocoa powder (or even Dutch cocoa)
optional: 1/8 plus 1/16 tsp salt (I always add it)
optional: chocolate chips or even a piece of a chocolate bar or baking chocolate
Blend all the ingredients, using a food processor, Magic Bullet, etc. (No need to blend the dates first; I just blend everything all at once in my MB. Form into bars. It might help to put dough in a plastic bag and close the bag, then shape into a bar. (Feel free to experiment with different nut combinations. I often sub almonds or cashews for some of the walnuts.)0 -
O.k. , .... I haven't tried these yet. However, I just found this recipe and wanted to share. It sounds yummy and gives tip on preparing ahead of time so it can be a quick breakfast if you are on the run in the morning.
Cookie Dough Oatmeal Cake
(Serves One!)
1/2 cup oats (50g)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
sweetener, such as 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup or 1 to 1 1/2 packs stevia (I omitted, but I’ve cautioned y’all before about my lack of sweet tooth.)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (60g) (Or sub banana… it’s awesome this way!)
1/4 cup milk of choice, creamer, juice, or water (I used 60g)
1/8 tsp salt
Handful of chocolate chips (and a few for the top, too!)
Optional: unless you like the taste of fat-free baking, add 1-2 tbsp oil, vegan butter, or nut butter (If oil, scale the milk back a little. If vegan butter, scale the salt back a little.)
Optional: 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cinnamon (If you like cinnamon in chocolate chip cookies)
Preheat oven to 380 degrees. Combine dry ingredients, then mix in wet. Pour into a small baking pan, loaf pan, or 1-cup ramekin (or, for mini boats, two 1/2-cup ramekins). Cook for 20 minutes, or more until it’s firm. Finally, set your oven to “high broil” for 3-5 more minutes (or simply just bake longer, but broiling gives it a nice crust). Don’t forget to spray your ramekins first if you want your cakes to pop out.
Super-Quick Breakfast Tips:
Mix the dry ingredients ahead of time (and in multiple batches) so the baked oatmeal for one will come together super-quickly.
I also usually cook boatmeal (baked oatmeal) the night before, which means breakfast is ready for me when I arrive home from my morning run.
The bars/cakes are portable, and others have told me that they freeze well too. You can even multiply the recipe, cook in a cake pan, cut into squares, and freeze the leftovers.0
