    Mini BBQ chicken pizzas...

    -1 English muffin, split in half
    -your favorite BBQ sauce
    -chicken, shredded or diced
    -shredded cheese!

    Assemble and pop in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is all melty. Obviously good for other kinds of "pizzas" too :)

    Baked Chicken & Cheese Taquitos

    2 Taco size flour tortillas
    1 oz. shredded cheddar
    2 oz. Cooked, shredded Chicken breast meat
    2 tsp. Spicy brown mustard

    Spread 1 tsp mustard on tortilla, add half the chicken & cheese. Roll-up with ends tucked in. Repeat. Place taquitos on foil lined baking sheet. Lightly coat taquitos with butter-flavored cooking spray. Bake at 400 F for 12 minutes. Devour!

    I'm in love with these things. Sometimes I'll substitute the mustard for hot salsa, sour cream or light ranch dressing.

    Always in for good recipes! My current favorite is this protein pancake recipe:

    1/2 cup oatmeal (pulse in food processor or blender)
    Then add
    1/2 cup cottage cheese
    2 eggs
    Teaspoon vanilla extract

    Pulse it all until consistency of pancake batter and fry up like regular pancakes. Sometimes I add a splash of milk to make them thinner. Also good with cinnamon and a little agave or honey to make them sweet.

    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 mine with canned salmon instead. :)

    Baked yam patties(pre-made sweet potatoe patties.can purchase in frozen produce section) These babies are great!! You can use a non stick bakers pan.Place in pan sprinkle lightly with organic sugar,cinnamon,nutmeg.Bake in the oven for 5 minutes if thawed,10 minutes if frozen.

    For a quick and easy snack you can put them frozen on a plate without any add ons and stick them in the microwave (2 patties) for about 1 to 2 minutes depending on your microwave. Taste like guilt free sweet potatoe pie either way you go....YUMMY!!!

    Not a recipe but saves me time after time . . .

    chicken breasts (Costco frozen skinless boneless)

    thaw; marinate in olive oil and garlic (chopped or pressed) . . . I've also added thyme, oregano, other seasonings, etc. You can skip the olive oil but I doubt that it adds a ton of calories. . . .but I could be wrong!

    drain, grill (better slightly undercooked than overcooked - grill just till meat bounces back), cool & chill; wrap individual, bag, and freeze

    I've done an entire bag before; easy to pull out and add to salads, pasta, make chicken salad, add to soups to bump up protein
