So this is not new, but tonight I took a medium green bell pepper, cut top off, trimmed inside of seeds and membrane. Dropped it into boiling water for 5 minutes. Took it out drained it on rack while I cooked Nutrisystem Mushroom Risotto in the microwave. I added salt & pepper to inside of bell pepper, stuffed it with the risotto and baked it at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Served the stuffed bell pepper, with a nice little green salad to myself. It was the bomb.

37 Calorie Brownies!
3.4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (vanilla works great for this)
1/4 cup skim milk
1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats (not quick oats)
1/2 cup Truvia (or any sweetener that pours like sugar - I prefer Truvia because it's stevia based)
1 egg
1/3 cup applesauce (I used natural/unsweetened)
1 pinch salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Use an 8"X8" square baking dish, sprayed with non-stick spray. Combine all ingredients into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth (1 minute). Pour into prepared dish and bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting into 9 large squares
THESE ARE SO GOOD.

This sounds yummy. But please be careful using that much Truvia. Truvia has very little benefit and has been noted to cause some serious side effects. It is made with sugar alcohols and is 100% genetically modified. There is a derivative called Rebiana, which is a part of Stevia Leaf (how they can call Stevia based), but it is less than 1 half of 1% of the ingredients. The rest are alcohols and other flavors. Look for 100% pure Stevia Leaf or organic Stevia at higher end supermarket or the vitamin shoppe.0 -
Shake ideas:
1. Add raw spinach and blend in blender- You can't taste it in there but your getting your veggie.
2. Like hot chocolate?- Add Hot water instead of cold water. Tastes pretty good.
3. Freeze a shake and eat it like ice cream.
4. add Kahlua (haha)

Mac & Chz Idea
I did this the other night. Prepare mac & chz as directed. While its "cooking" in its cup, sauté with water, diced broccoli (as best as you can dice broccoli, lol, small pieces) diced bell peppers and diced red onions. Start with a couple of tbsp. of water to sauté add more as needed. I learned a while back that you can sauté anything without oil, just lower heat a bit, cook longer, stirring constantly (saves fat/cals).
Once mac & chz cooked, add sautéed veggies to mac & cheese. Pour into small casserole dish (I use my corning ware for this), add pepper to taste, sprinkle with a small bit of bread crumbs mixed with 1-tbsp of parmesan cheese (these are consider an extras, be sure to add to tracker). Bake in oven at 400 degree for 10-15 minutes.
Top with either homemade pico de gallo (diced onions, tomatoes, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro & squeeze of lime juice) or use jar chunky salsa.
Serve with cucumber, onion, tomato salad with remaining lime juice and dash of salt/pepper.0 -
Great ideas everyone! What an awesome group! Thank you!0

I pretty much do the same thing only I use the sloppy joe meal add cooked quinoa and onions and some low fat Mexican cheese !
I also make a pizza from the seasoned bbq chicken meal
I low carb low calorie wrap place in a 350 oven for 5 minutes to get it crispy
Spread the bbq chicken meal
Top with cooked bell peppers, onions mushrooms or whatever veggies you like
add some low fat shredded cheese place back in the oven for another 5 minutes until cheese is melted and you now have a bbq chicken pizza

That sounds yummy, except for the sloppy joe mix & chicken, lol (I'm vegetarian). NS used to have a veggie sloppy joe mix back when I was on it previously in 2011. Not sure why it was discontinued? Well, that's dumb of me why does NS do anything?

Question rather than recipe --- have any of you tried to mix up protein shake mixture and run it through an ice cream maker? I'm just wondering about he texture. After eating a 1/2 frozen craving crusher this afternoon (which was great), I just wondered if any of you had tried actually churning it. I'm already thinking of summer treats . . .0

I have made it in my nutribullet where it comes out so stiff I have to eat it with a spoon. I used the vanilla and added frozen strawberries and a little almond milk. Tastes like a total cheat.

I was going to make chicken parm pasta at work for lunch today, so I portioned out my spicy V8 for my lunch crock. I thought I had a container the would nest in my crock for carrying..but no, so I put it in a baggie. Didn't make lunch, so brought my V8 back home. Won't be having NS lunch tomorrow, so I was trying to think of how to use the V8. Had some mini bell peppers, so I sauteed them with some onion in the V8, added 1/4 cup of rice and the meatloaf (crumbled up) from NS meatloaf/mashed potatoes. I love stuffed peppers - this was YUM!!! Will do it again.

1 cut up onion.
Put both in frying pan and cook down till dry and onions caramelize. Add Italian seasoning to taste. Add 2 Table spoon of grated parmesan cheese.
Divide into servings. Yummy!0 -
I'm not as creative as all of you but I like to put the meatballs over spaghetti squash, add in sauteed mini bell peppers and a shake of parm cheese.0

Shred or cut string cheese and melt on lavash (I sprayed a pan and 'grilled' it)
Fill lavash with Black Bean filling... (it was too much to roll, so I ate almost 1/2 with a fork, then was able to make it a burro/taco...)

Sillyrabbit - that is definitely something I'm gonna try! It looks awesome.0

Sillyrabbit, that really does look delicious! I may need to try to your mix and maybe eat it like a lettuce wrap instead of rolling the lavosh. I could always have multiple lettuce leaves . . . .0
