  • Make healthy chips: Peel, slice into thin slices. Soak in cold water for an hour or so, drain, rinse and pat dry. Toss with just a little of your favorite oil and generous amounts of sea salt. Place in a dehydrator at 125 degrees until desired crispness. These can be done on racks on a baking sheet in the oven with the…
  • It makes a good hot breakfast cereal you can doll up any way you like.
  • Make salmon dip: Mix 1/4 cup fat free cream cheese (softened) and 1/4 light sour cream with some of the salmon, a dash of mustard powder and a splash of worcestershire, ground black pepper and a little garlic powder. Eat with vegetables as dippers. If you prefer it warm, cooking spray your vessel before filling and put it…
  • Cut them into french fry size and toss with egg white, your favorite seasonings and a little bit of panko bread crumbs. Bake on a canola oil sprayed sheet at 400 degrees until brown and crispy.
  • My aunt used to make this for us all of the time. The only difference is her recipe included mushrooms. It's super easy to make and very tasty. Using the MFP recipe calculator with 1.75lbs of the chicken and a serving size of 6, it comes out to 339 cals per serving.
  • I think this came from cooking light. I don't honestly remember. It's surprisingly light, fresh and tasty. The yogurt just acts as a binder - you won't even taste it I promise. Nutty Edamame Dip 2 cups frozen shelled edamame 2 garlic cloves, peeled 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves 2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted 2…
  • Look for cuts of meat that have 'loin' or 'round' in the name. Those are your leanest cuts. Stick to them and trim your fat off before cooking and you'll have a very 'healthy' red meat portion. Skirt or flank steak - combine a tablespoon of olive oil, a few ounces of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of agave nectar or honey, a…
  • Try any eggplant recipe on this site. I tried the below and was surprised how much we liked it. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2014/05/vegan-eggplant-meatballs.html
  • I wasn't a fan of the shield pistols the first time I used them. A buddy has a .40 as well as a 9mm and loaned them to me for a few weeks. After a few hundred rounds through them I can say I am a fan. Recoil isn't too awful, they're light, compact and accurate. I think there is one under the tree for me today - woo-hoo !…
  • Braising. Roasting. Neosporin.
  • Lucky June 7th.
  • Strip malls. Slow drivers who camp out in the left/fast lane. Wasps. Canadian geese. Lip synching at 'live' concerts. Fear of nudity. Puppets.
  • Puppets of any kind freak me out Especially the large marionettes. Those things are creepy. Large groupings of stuffed animals or dolls are disconcerting. They stare at me, unblinking, with their dead, cold eyes......
  • Make fall vegetable ravioli. Roast your favorite squash or fall vegetable, mash it up and add whatever seasonings you like (thyme, basil and savory are my favorites + salt and pepper). Use the small size wonton skins instead of pasta to make the ravioli. Brush one with beaten egg, drop a small spoonful of the vegetable…
  • Make basic tomato sauce and freeze it. You can then use it later for a variety of different dishes. South of the border ? Add chilies and cumin. Italian ? Basil and oregano. Tomato soup in the middle of winter ? Thin with a little chicken stock, make polenta or bread croutons, garnish with sour cream and herbs. Authentic…
  • I second this method. It's the way grandma and mom did it. I would also advise double checking for any gristle on the meat and cutting it out before cooking. You may end up with medallions but the above method is still the way to cook it. Depending on the thickness of the cut beef liver can cook quickly. Overcooked liver…
  • A little effort but great flavor and works well for leftovers. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/cheesy-vegetable-moussaka-50400000133663/
  • Good for you ! Don't worry about miles to run just yet. The length of time you run is more important. Distance and speed will come along soon.
  • Nasacort is what I use and have no problems at all with it. I have bad sinus stuffiness as well as the annoying drip and the nasacort cleared that right up. My eyes also burn like crazy and I use drops called alaway. They work like a charm as well.
  • I had the same problem when taking the popular prescription pills for my seasonal allergies. My allergist changed me to an OTC nasal spray and eye drops and the nausea problem went away. Maybe your Dr. can suggest something other than your current meds.
  • One aspect that is often overlooked by runners of all intensity levels is your breathing. It is ultimately the most important aspect of keeping yourself healthy as a runner and making your runs flow rather than just grinding out miles. There is a physician and running guru named Budd Coates who advocates an approach that I…

  • A delicious side is a saute of sweet potato, golden hominy, spinach & hearts of palm with a little lime zest.
  • Rub it on any vegetable and roast them. A dollop in a bowl of chili or soup. Smear it over pork or beef and grill. Mix with chopped fresh tomatoes, cucumber, raw red bell pepper and 1/2 a finely chopped anchovy. Use as a topping or eat it like a salad. Mix with seafood of your preference and use wonton skins to make…
  • Always drain and rinse your canned garbanzo beans. Spray a cookie sheet with canola. In a bowl mix your rinsed and mostly dried off beans with salt, black pepper and smoked paprika. Bake at 400 deg for 5 min or so, stir them around, then cook until they finish crisping up. Any seasoning will do - lemon pepper, we used a…
  • You can substitute chicken for turkey in this. It's very popular around our home. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/turkey-posole-casserole-50400000131140/
  • Ground Turkey Picadillo - also works great as a sloppy joe type sandwich 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling 1 medium onion, diced 8 cloves garlic, chopped 3 bay leaves 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey Kosher salt and freshly…
  • Stuffed Chops - proportions are for 2 chops. Make a brine by boiling 1.5 cups water with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 tablespoon salt. When sugar and salt have dissolved, pour the brine over a cup or two of ice cubes to cool it down to room temperature. Place thick cut chops in the brine (bone-in or boneless doesn't matter),…
  • Polar ft7. Mine was $69 on Amazon (prime FTW !)
