    Snack that my kids love = Peanut Butter Banana "Sushi"

    1 slice whole grain bread
    Peanut Butter
    1/2 Banana Sliced in long strips
    2 Strawberries sliced


    Spread a thin layer of Peanut Butter on the whole grain bread. Lay out the banana slices on one edge of the bread and place the strawberry slices next to the bananas. Roll the bread up around the fruit. Slice the bread roll into three or four pieces.

    Dinosaur Egg
    This is a two ingredient meal
    One hard boiled egg
    Turkey breakfast sausage patty
    Hard boil and peel an egg, wrap it in uncooked turkey breakfast sausage ( you can use pork but it has more calories)
    Form it into a nice baseball shaped ball, place in oven for one hour at 375 degrees, flip at the 30 minute mark.
    It's like a sausage Mcmuffin without the guilt.
    226 cals
    12 g fat
    1 g carbs
    23.5 g protein
    This can also be done with two slices of bacon, wrap one slice lengthwise on the egg and the second width wise, cook at same temp
    and duration
    Make them in batches and eat them hot or cold

    Malted barley
    Hops
    Water
    Yeast

    I homebrew :wink:

    For a snack:

    Jalapeno pepper
    Cream cheese
    Bacon

    Slice the pepper in half, remove the seeds, and fill with cream cheese (about 2 tsp per half). Wrap in 1 slice of bacon and bake at 400 degrees until the bacon is done.

    This snack goes great with the aforementioned barley, hops, water, and yeast.

    My favorite is for a treat.:flowerforyou:

    -bananas
    -peanut butter
    -dark chocolate
    -unsweetened coconut

    Cut the bananas in 2 inch segments. Hollow out the center. Use a piping bag to fill the center with peanut butter. Melt dark chocolate and dip each segment. Roll in coconut. Freeze. Eat one or two when you need a bit of a treat.

    1. Eggs
    2. Smoked salmon
    3. Freshly-ground pepper (no salt because the smoked salmon is already pretty salty)
    4. Capers

    Toss them all together and scramble, scramble, cook over easy and demolish!

    Mine is as follows:




    I love tuna cakes!

    1 can tuna

    8 crackers

    1 egg

    lemon pepper



    smash the crackers; mix all the ingredients together well, form patties (I make about 4), and fry. De-lish!

    I do that too, but I add mustard and hot sauce, so that doesn't apply as four ingredients lol

    You have to like brussel sprouts for this one!

    Roasted Brussel Sprouts
    Brussel sprouts, cut in half.
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees; preheat a baking sheet.
    Toss brussel sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper and a splash of balsamic vinegar.
    When the oven is preheated, dump the brussel sprouts onto the cookie sheet.
    Roast for about 20 - 25 minutes.

    My favorite salad:

    Mixed greens,
    granny smith apple, sliced & diced
    Vinaigrette made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, & minced garlic (about 2/3 C olive oil, 1/3 C red wine vinegar, 2 teas. dijon mustard, & finely minced garlic (1/2 teas or so).

    Breakfast

    Fresh mushrooms, sauteed
    Egg Beaters, scrambled
    Add Spinach, frozen, thawed, and squeezed dry
    Top with 1 mozzarella string cheese, grated, sliced, or just pulled into strings

    I like the idea of adding smoked salmon!

    1. Can low sodium black beans
    2. 1/2 cup med. salsa
    3. Chili powder to taste
    4. Cumin to taste
    Mix together and simmer for about 25 minutes
    (Can be served over brown rice with a dollop of sour cream and cheddar on top if desired...but I eat it right out of the pot as is.)

    Current fav is open faced "breakfast" sandwich ('cause its good for any meal).

    English muffin
    Cheese
    Bacon
    Eggs

    Toast muffin. Cut slice of bacon in half and sit atop muffin. Layer a slice / bit of cheese atop the bacon. Add an overeasy fried egg (or sunnyside up) on top. Let sit for a minute or two to help melt the cheese. Then dig in, being sure to cut right through the yolk so it runs everywhere and you can soak it up with the muffin on the bottom.
