I was checking out the Engine2 website and came across these:
http://engine2diet.com/recipe/mighty-muffins/
They definitely satisfy my pastry-with-coffee craving in the morning!
P.S. I baked them at 350 degrees - they don't list an oven temp on the website
worked out fine ! 0 -

this is my friends chilli recipe.. i made a few tweaks to mine, but this is so good!!
Brown 2 lbs extra lean ground hamburger or turkey (omit to make vegetarian). Drain AND rinse meat (we're trying to get it as close to fat free as possible). Place in crock-pot. Chop two onions of your choice (I use yellow and red) and two bell peppers (again, your choice--I used a red pepper and a yellow pepper). Sautee in pan, add cooked vegetables to crock pot. Add one large can of crushed tomatoes, two regular-sized cans of diced tomatoes. You can add more or less tomatoes later on to get the desired consistency. I personally like chili to be chunky. Add three cans of beans--your choice (I use black beans, pinto, and garbanzo). Add two cans of diced green chilis. Jalepenos if you'd like. Add 7 teaspoons of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt to taste, cumin to taste, 1/2 cup natural brown sugar (could possibly be omitted in favor of maple syrup or other sweetener). Stir and set on low all day, or high for a couple hours.0 -

A salad topping I frequently make:
1 cut up medium apple (quartered then the quarters cut in half again.)
1 tbsp. sliced almonds (oven roasted, unsalted)
2 tbsp. craisins
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. lime juice.
Put the apple bits into a small mixing bowl. Pour the lime juice over the apples to keep them from browning and toss for a few seconds. Add in the almonds and craisins. Drizzle with the olive oil and then toss again. It makes four servings for any kind of salad.0 -
Oven fries
I use red potatoes but you can use any kind even sweet potatoes if you prefer
I use Mrs Dash because I am low salt diet
spray the pan with extra light olive oil (not extra virgin) leave the peels on the potatoes when cutting them one potato makes about 8 fries (no matter the size) arrange them on a cookie sheet then spray them again with the oil and sprinkle with your seasoning
these are a great alternative for fries
8 fries are pretty filling and very tasty0 -

I do not measure much when I cook I just cook (there are 7 of us)
Baked Potato Soup
(low salt and low fat)
the biggest problem with soup is it is very high in salt so if you are watching what you eat or have high blood pressure or retain water like a sponge(like me) then salt/sodium in foods is the enemy that you beat down daily
Baked potato soup is a favorite so I went hunting and found a version that I (and the kids) like that also has lower salt than the internet version
skim milk
baby red potatoes(you can use any kind but I like these best)
colby/jack cheese
turkey bacon (or any kind)
onions
celery
chives
plain greek yogurt(you will find I use this a LOT in recipes mostly because I use a lot of cream recipes and this is a fabulous substitute)
and of course Mrs Dash
and a little extra light olive oil(I use about a tsp depends on your pan)
in a frying pan warm the extra light olive oil
dice the onions and the celery
put them in the oil to cook them a bit
in another pan boil some of the baby red potatoes you will be making mashed potatoes out of them to thicken your soup(last time I made this for my family of 7 I used about 5 baby reds I make a huge crock pot of this)
if using a crock pot put in the milk the diced potatoes and onions and celery
put them on a medium heat
mash up the potatoes(leave on the skins on your potatoes it adds vitamins) use the Greek yogurt to help make them smooth add those to the pot and stir till it is mixed in
cook it all till the diced potatoes are cooked
you top this soup with some cheese chives and bacon bits
you can also cook up broccoli or whatever other toppings you would put on baked potatoes
this soup is supposed to be thick like a stew0 -

1/3 cup honey/agave/maple syrup
A few dates soaked in water
3/4 cup cacao powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/2 - 1 cup non-dairy milk/water
Shredded coconut (optional)
Cacoa nibs optional, but adds texture
Blend all the ingredients, adding milk/water as needed, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Fold in shredded coconut and/or cacao nibs for added texture and decadence. Pour into pie crust.
Whipped Cream:
1-2 cans chilled full fat coconut milk
3 Tb raw powdered sugar

Refrigerate the coconut milk for 24 hrs. Carefully, open the can(s) and skim off the fat part only. Set the liquid aside for use in smoothie or something else.

in a bowl mix the tuna and 1/2 an avacado and the greek yogurt
spread that on your wrap

rip up the spinach and make a nice layer of green on there (I use about 20 leaves I do not count the tiny ones)

lol alot of my concoctions seem weird but so good
avocado chocolate pudding
2 hass avocados
8 tsp of date sugar

if avocado and banana arent really rip you may want to use a little milk

I don't know if any of you have heard of skinnytaste.com, but it has a lot of good recipes. I tried this one this morning, minus the fruit because I didn't have any. I put a tablespoon of maple syrup in it and it was yummy.

I pretty much love most of the recipes I have tried on Skinnytaste.com. They are low-fat and she offers the weight watchers points if you use that program. My favorites so far are the chicken fajitas, chicken and mushrooms in garlic white wine sauce, and Chicken with Dijon and Lime (Yummy). There is also a really good crockpot pulled pork recipe too!0
