Good Morning Everyone!
I was disappointed that not anyone had any recipes to share. Mine was a bit detailed and really not that fast to make. I will give you only fast, easier recipes and something that most everyone would like.....children friendly.
Sorry Liann......just seeing that brussel sprout recipe probably made you shutter....sorry. I am one of the weirds ones that like brussel sprouts...however, not just plain. This recipe, I do like. My husband also does not like brussel sprouts so, that recipe is about 2 large servings for me....I eat one and then the next day, the other.
Cream Cheese Roll-Ups
2 Slices (about 1 ounce) roast turkey
2 Tablespoons fat-free cream sheese with chives (or garden vegetable flavor)
Place the meat on a flat surface and spread the slices thinly with the cream cheese. Roll them tightly. Cover and refrigerate until you're ready to use them.
Makes 1 serving
Calories 60, Protein 10 g, Carbs 2 g, Sugars 0, Fat 2 g (< 1 g saturated), Fiber 0, Sodium 450mg
Roast Beef Melt
2 Slices bread ( healthiest is Ezekiel bread, I use Dave's Killer Bread)
2 Slices fat-free American cheese
4 Ounces lean, thinly sliced deli roast beef
1 Tablespoon brown mustard (I use the yellow mustard)
3 Thin slices yellow onion
Top the bread with the cheese and toast it on the grill (I put in the oven) until the cheese metls. Put the roast beef on the toast. Top with the mustard and onion
Makes 1 serving
Calories 360, Protein 37g, Carbs 44g, Sugars 5 g, Fat 6 g, (2 g saturated), Cholesterol 40 mg, Fiber 7 g, Sodium 460 mg.
Ranch-Style "Spaghetti Marinara
1 Medium spaghetti squash (about 1 1/2 pounds), washed, halved lengthwise, and seeds removed
2 Cups low-fat marinara sauce
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley (sometimes I just use the seaoning kind)
2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F . Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
Pierce the outside of each half of the squash a few times with a fork. Place the squash cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes, unti very tender when tested with a fork. Allow to cool slightly.
While the squash is baking, warm the pasta sauce.
Using the tines of the fork, rake the spaghetti-like threads of the squash into a mixing bowl. (There will be about 3 cups) Discard the skin. Pour the hot pasta sauce over the squash and toss gently. Garnish with the basil or parsley and cheese.
Makes 6 servings

Tip: When you are at the grocrey store and your kids are with you, let them choose the vegetables that they like and know they will eat.

Hi There,
even though I do not have the nutrition info at hand, I want to share with you my all time favorite!
1.)Rice (I use Basmati for extra Flavour, but the normal is just fine too!), Corn and Thuna!
Heat it all up and then I add some soy sauce!
If you have enough cals left, add cheese!
2.) Rice and Eggs ( cook the rice and then put them in a pan, throw some eggs in and prepare them like scrambled eggs)
A variation would be just to use the egg white!
Add spices as you like!0 -
I am not very talented in the kitchen. I grill whatever meat I have on hand - chicken, pork, beef, buffalo. I put brown rice in a bowl. I add any vegetables I have (peas, green beans, mushrooms). I cut up several sun dried tomatoes. I warm it all up in the microwave and stir.
Please don't be disappointed at my lack of contribution in this area! It is just how I am! 0
