<span id="goog_738786939"></span><span id="goog_738786940"></span>I just made last night another winner from Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred
eating plan. This recipe is exactly the same as the one on her site.
To change it up for next time, I would add some corn and peas and maybe add a bit of feta for additional
flavor. <br />
<br />
You can top this burger with so many toppings: shredded carrots, mushrooms, onions, avocado...you get the idea as they
are endless!<br />
<br />
Well, Jillian has done a whole Ripped in <a href="http://images.agoramedia.com/jillianmichaels/cms/jillian-michaels-ripped-in-30-meal-plan-v.pdf" target="_blank">30 day eating plan </a>but
she didn't include any pictures so I wanted to help entice you to make
some of her recipes your self to help you get that mean body like
Jillian's.<br />

How about a post-workout energy boost?
These healthy, low-calorie snacks can get you through any diet craving.<br />
<br />
5 super low calorie snacks that I am digging right now. My kids love them too!<br />
<br />
<span></span>Don't forget to check out our <a href="http://stronggirlseat.blogspot.ca/2013/11/5-super-low-calorie-hunger-buster.html#.VdzKXpfF8gQ" target="_blank">Part 1 - Healthy Snacks to Try! </a><br />
<br />
<b>Lite Nachos</b> - love me some nachos! Use baked torilla chips (I use about 8-10), add a small about of shredded low fat cheese. Pop in microwave for about 10-20 seconds than I go crazy with the veggie toppings! Unlimited tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, red peppers, easy on avocado, a few olives, a little sour cream and salsa. I try to keep this snack under 200 calories.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Pizza Toast</b> - toast a high fiber/low carb bread or English muffin. Once toasted add a bit of ketchup top with some cheese and add your favorite topping. Put oven on broil and place toast until cheese has melted. Watch for it! This goes quickly and easily burns!!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Tuna in lettuce wraps</b> - I use Greek yogurt or, if you dont like the tart taste swap out blended cottage cheese or even lite mayo. I add some curry powder and sometimes grapes and/ or apples, tomatoes chopped up. Also another time saver is the pouch tuna that you don't have to drain....so easy!<br />

Welcome to week one of meal plans. I'm one of the GGS girls that needs to lose 25 pounds. Why? I'm not over by BMI but in the last few years the pounds have just been creeping up on me. I do exercise but obviously not enough and eating too much. I need to get this under control once and for all. Once there, I need to go into maintenance and continue to keep the pounds off. I just feel more comfortable weighing less than this. I don't feel like myself.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients </b><br />
<br />
(MAKES TWO CRUSTS):<br />
1 teaspoon Active Dry Or Instant Yeast<br />
4 cups All-purpose Flour<br />
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt<br />
1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil<br />
<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
<br />
Sprinkle yeast over 1 1/2 cups warm (not lukewarm) water.<br />
In a mixer, combine flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed (with paddle attachment), drizzle in olive oil until combined with flour. Next, pour in yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you don't have a mixer, use your hands. Both work great!<br />
<br />
Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil, and form the dough into a ball. Toss to coat dough in olive oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until you need it.<br />
<br />
***It's best to make the dough at least 24 hours in advance, and 3 or 4 days is even better.<br />

It was super tasty and the left overs were even better. I made this dish vegetarian but you certainly could make it vegan easily. I have been trying to cut back on my meat consumption and since I'm the only one that cooks in this house, the family has to follow. Its a great way to get more vegetables in your diet. <br />

<b>FOR THE TEX-MEX SPICE BLEND:</b><br />
1 tbsp chili powder<br />
1½ tsp ground cumin<br />
1 tsp smoked sweet paprika or ½ tsp regular paprika<br />
½ tsp cayenne pepper, plus more as needed<br />
1¼ tsp fine-grain sea salt<br />
½ tsp ground coriander (optional)<br />
<br />
<b>FOR THE CASSEROLE:</b><br />
1½ tsp extra-virgin olive oil<br />
1 red onion, diced<br />
3 cloves garlic, minced<br />
1 orange bell pepper, diced<br />
1 red bell pepper, diced<br />
1 jalapeño, seeded, if desired, and diced<br />
fine-grain sea salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />
½ cup fresh or frozen corn<br />
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with their juices<br />
1 cup tomato sauce or tomato puree<br />
2-3 cups chopped kale leaves or baby spinach<br />
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed<br />
3 cups cooked wild rice blend or brown rice<br />
½ cup shredded cheese <br />
1-2 handful corn tortilla chips, crushed<br />
<b>OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:</b><br />
Sliced green onions<br />
Salsa<br />
Avocado<br />
Corn Chips<br />
Cashew Cream (recipe in the book) <br />
<br />
<b>Instructions </b><br />
Make the Tex-Mex Spice Blend: In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, salt, and coriander (if using). Set aside.<br />
Make the Casserole: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Oil a large (4 to 5 quart or liter) casserole dish.<br />
<br />
In a large wok, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, bell peppers, and jalapeño and sauté for 7 to 8 minutes, until softened. Season with salt and black pepper, if desired.<br />

Stir in the Tex-Mex Spice Blend, corn, diced tomatoes and their juices, tomato sauce, kale, beans, rice and ¼ cup of the vegan shredded cheese. Sauté for a few minutes and season with more salt and black pepper, if desired.<br />
<br />
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and smooth out the top. Sprinkle the crushed chips over the casserole mixture along with the remaining ¼ cup of cheese. Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
Uncover the casserole dish and cook for 5 to 10 minutes more, until bubbly and slightly golden around the edges.<br />
<br />
Scoop the casserole into bowls and add your desired toppings.<br />

As a kid, I have fond memories of having white toast with melted butter, sugar and a dash of Cinnamon. Yum! I still love that but I now I need to eat healthy bread and minus the butter and sugar. <br />
<br />
I have experimenting with unique toast toppers that I really have to share with you. It might like ugk to you, but don't knock it until you have tried it. Right?<br />
<br />
Always start with healthy bread such as Ezekiel <strong>bread</strong> or Manna <strong>Bread....</strong><br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Source: FitSugar</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Top with protein- and calcium-packed nonfat cottage cheese and then top with black pepper and hot sauce.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Start with raspberry jam, Swiss cheese and top with scrambled or poached egg. Start your bread like the picture and than just add your egg. Sounds not too appealing but it is so good. Its like a party in your mouth!<br />

For a sweet, protein-fueled snack in the morning, cover your toast in low fat cream cheese. If you want to add a little fruit flavor, skip the jam and opt for fresh fruit. I like mine with both!<br />

Lately, my favorite toast topper is avocado with a little salt, pepper, and hot sauce. It's creamy and tasty, full of healthy monounsaturated fats, and also contains a high amount of antioxidants like beta-carotene and lycopene.<br />

What about you? Any strange toast toppers out there?Crazy Legshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12049281228802048991noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483990909532768099.post-48648790083314591862014-02-04T10:58:00.002-08:002014-02-05T08:40:50.043-08:00One Point Weight Watchers Breakfast IdeasWhen I am following Weight Watchers and going to the meetings, I regularly just like to switch my breakfast with only a few options. I also like to make sure that the points are super low (never know what the day might throw at you!) and there is plenty of protein in the meal to keep me full until lunch (or at least close to lunch).<br />
<br />
Here are my tested, tried and true breakfast options that will not disappoint you and your appetite!<br />
<br />
Egg white scramble with any vegetable of choice. (One point weight watchers recipe)<br />
<br />
My favorite is baby greens (kale and spinach) and lots of mushrooms.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaK4Df3JjVnAx2f-btsK1DfkgiBDyf7KdSci-uTTTjVoP6qt0enal5x4QpGZcM6mRfugKBAxqzcgW6_6Y7g0undbK2WJ_yhqkKlKiv-LmCfUqnQwDa09u0tg39ejRewr01WkRaVtPevJ8/s1600/egg+white+scramble+one+point+weight+watchers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaK4Df3JjVnAx2f-btsK1DfkgiBDyf7KdSci-uTTTjVoP6qt0enal5x4QpGZcM6mRfugKBAxqzcgW6_6Y7g0undbK2WJ_yhqkKlKiv-LmCfUqnQwDa09u0tg39ejRewr01WkRaVtPevJ8/s1600/egg+white+scramble+one+point+weight+watchers.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It doesn't look that great but look how large that plate is for just one point weight watcher meal. Use 1/2 cup egg whites and as many vegetables as you choose. I do add ketchup so I add another point on to this meal. Use hot sauce to keep the point value at one.<br />
<br />
Berry Protein Smoothie (one point weight watchers recipe)<br />
<br />
Of course another really good stand-by is a berry smoothie.<br />
I use a banana, berries on hand, baby greens and one cup of almond milk (40 calories per cup)<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Greek Yogurt and Berries or any fruit you have one hand (one point weight watchers recipe)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Maple-Glazed Roasted Carrots</span><br />(Makes
3-4 servings, recipe adapted slightly from <a href="http://www.finecooking.com/"><span style="color: #c65c13;">Fine Cooking</span></a>
magazine.)<br /><br /><b>Ingredients:</b><br />1 lb carrots, peeled baby carrots (organic carrots are sweetest for this
recipe) I have even used the bagged baby carrots and they are good too but these ones were straight from the farmers market.<br />1 T olive oil<br />1 T maple syrup, (or sugar-free maple syrup, or maple
agave nectar)<br />salt and fresh-ground black pepper to
taste<br /><br /><b>Instructions:</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Preheat oven to 400F/200C and choose an
oven-proof frying pan that's large enough to hold all the carrots in a single
layer.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Peel carrots, then cut off the thinner tips and
cut the thicker ends in half lengthwise. <br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Add olive oil to the frying pan and heat to
medium hot (the oil should look shimmery, but not be smoking when you add the
carrots.) Add the carrots (you should hear a slight sizzling sound.) Saute
carrots 3-4 minutes, or until the surface looks slightly blistered and starting
to color.<br /><br />Turn down heat to low and add maple syrup, sugar-free maple
syrup, or maple agave nectar, and stir to coat carrots. Season well with salt
and fresh-ground black pepper.<br /><br />Put frying pan into the hot oven and roast
carrots for 10-15 minutes, or until they are done to your liking and slightly
browned. (I stirred after 10 minutes and roasted them for 14 minutes.) Serve
hot or cold!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
-2 medium/large ripe bananas</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-1 cup uncooked quick oats</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Instructions:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper or a splat. Mash the bananas well, and combine them in a medium bowl with the oats.

I like to have a supply of these little frittata (or crustless quiche) in the fridge at all times. They are a nice and filling snack and they can be 'to go'! Saute up some vegetable of choice and put in a greased muffin tray. Add egg beaters or whipped eggs to the tray and top with a little bit of cheese. Super low in calories and are very filling.</div>

Have you ever tried plantains? Well, neither had I until I picked one up the other day and thought I really do need to try this strange banana looking fruit. Here is some interesting information about plantains:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Plantains are from the same botanical family as bananas and appear almost identical. However, plantains are a starchy, low-sugar fruit and are used and consumed more like a potato than their sweeter cousin. The outer skin is very thick and difficult to peel when the fruit is unripe. Plantains are eaten around the world but are most popular in Latin America and West Africa, where they are a dietary staple. </blockquote>
<br />
They are super good for you as they are high in fiber, potassium and vitamins A and C.<br />

I just made last night another winner from Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred eating plan. This recipe is exactly the same as the one on her site. To change it up for next time, I would add some corn, carrots, peas any or all and maybe add a bit of feta or blue cheese for additional flavor. I also don't think the agar powder is a necessity but I added it anyway. I will keep you posted once I make this dish again. <br />
<br />
You can top this burger with so many toppings: cheese slice, tzakiki,hummus, mushrooms, onions, avocado...you get the idea as they are endless!<br />
<br />
Well, Jillian has done a whole Ripped in <a href="http://images.agoramedia.com/jillianmichaels/cms/jillian-michaels-ripped-in-30-meal-plan-v.pdf" target="_blank">30 day eating plan </a>but she didn't include any pictures so I wanted to help entice you to make some of her recipes your self to help you get that mean body like Jillian's. <br />

Oh how I heart Jillian Micheal's. <br>
<br>
This is one of HER recipes. I have copied it exactly. Why you might ask? Well, Jillian has done a whole Ripped in <a href="http://images.agoramedia.com/jillianmichaels/cms/jillian-michaels-ripped-in-30-meal-plan-v.pdf" target="_blank">30 day eating plan </a>but she didn't include any pictures so I wanted to help entice you to make some of her recipes your self to help you get that mean body like Jillian's. <br>
<br>
This one is a keeper. I only made three peppers because that is all I had on hand at the time. They kept in the fridge for about 4 days, when I devoured the last one. The peppers make a perfect little bowl that you can't over stuff . I cheated a little and skipped the marinara sauce but added a little bit of feta cheese to the finished product.<br>
<br>
This one is from her <a href="http://www.jillianmichaelsbodyrevolution.com/drtv/ecs/pdf/Jillian-Vegan-Meal-Plan.pdf" target="_blank">Ripped in 30 Vegan Eating Plan.</a><br>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br></span>
3/4 cups uncooked quinoa4 large red, green or yellow bell peppers<br>
1 tablespoon olive oil<br>
1 onion, chopped<br>
3 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced (about 1 cup)<br>
2 garlic cloves, chopped<br>
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)<br>
1 tablespoon tomato paste<br>
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise<br>
14 ounces diced tomatoes, drained<br>
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped, or 1 tsp dried<br>
1/4 teaspoon salt<br>
1/4 teaspoon black ground pepper<br>
2 cups marinara sauce, for serving<br>
<br>
Preparation<br>
<br>
Preheat oven to 350°F.<br>
In a small saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Place the quinoa in a strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. Stir the quinoa into the boiling water, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, use a sharp paring knife to cut out the core from the peppers. Pull out any seeds and rinse the peppers inside and out. Place them cut side down on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high power until slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.<br>
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, garlic, and crushed red pepper, if using. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown, about 8 minutes.<br>
<br>
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the zucchini, tomatoes, oregano, and salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir in the quinoa and remove the pan from the heat.<br>
<br>
Place the peppers cut side up in a medium roasting pan. Spoon the filling into the peppers and fill the pan with water 1/2 inch deep. Bake until the peppers are tender and the top of the filling is lightly browned and crunchy, about 30 minutes.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the marinara over low heat. When the peppers are cooked, place one on each of four plates. Spoon the sauce alongside or on top and serve.<br>
<br>
Enjoy!<br>

This dish is such a treat in our house. It is so good and you really feel like you are totally cheating but you are not. This dish is lightened right up. You can substitute the shrimp for chicken. Also I have switched up the vegetable to green beans, asparagus, peas, peppers. Its all in the sauce baby!<br /><br /><div>
Ingredients:<div>
Serves 6<br /><br />2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil<br />4 medium garlic cloves, minced<br />3 tablespoons all-purpose flour<br />1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (as desired)<br />One 12-ounce can evaporated skim milk, warmed<br />1/2 cup nonfat milk, warmed<br />1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese<br />1/2 teaspoon salt<br />1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper<br />1 cup chicken broth or additional milk, for thinning (as needed)<br />8 ounces whole wheat fettuccine noodles<br />2 cups cooked shrimp<div>
3 cups frozen broccoli</div>
<div>
<br />Directions:</div>
<div>
<br />1. Prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until it is fragrant and lightly browned, about 1 minute. Whisk in the flour and red pepper flakes and stir until flour is lightly browned. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the directions adding the broccoli the last few minutes of cooking time.<br /><br />2. Very gradually add the warmed evaporated milk, whisking it into the flour a little at a time. Add the other milk too. Heat the mixture until boiling, whisking constantly (as you whisk, the flour will begin to dissolve into the warmed liquid). Then turn down the heat to a simmer and whisk in the cheese, salt and pepper. Continue to simmer, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened a bit (it will thicken more upon standing too). If it happens to become too thick, just thin it out a little with some chicken broth or more milk.<br /><br />3. Assemble your pasta dish: Place hot pasta and broccoli in a large serving dish. Pour sauce over and add shrimp. Toss together until everything is coated with the sauce. Add salt and pepper, as desired. </div>

Granola is a popular breakfast option that we’ve all seen on grocery store shelves. Even though it can be less time-consuming to snag one from the market, baking a batch of granola at home is far more rewarding. With a homemade version, you can create your favorite combination of fruit, nuts, grains and seeds.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
When making granola, some people prefer to use a recipe, where others take a more rustic approach. If you’re planning to wing it, choose your ingredients for a fresh, healthy flavor that will make you want to wake up in the morning.</div>
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Start with oats</strong>. Rolled oats (like old-fashioned oats) are the base of most types of granola. Add small amounts of other grains, such as wheat bran or ground flax seed. For a large batch of granola that will last two people about four weeks, I use 4 cups of oats.<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Go Nuts</strong>. Whether your afternoon snack preference is walnuts, almonds or hazelnuts, nuts add healthy fats to your granola. Use any combination you like and chop them as finely as you wish for varying flavor and textures.<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Dress your oats</strong>. Use fat to blend your granola and make your mixture cohesive. Whisk one part fat with two parts sweetener for a nice, even blend. Some granola chefs use a combination of butter and oil while others opt for oil rich in monounsaturated fat to reap those heart healthy benefits.<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Bake, bake, bake</strong>. Most granola bakes at a medium-low heat, such as 300°F for 30 to 40 minutes. Toss the granola to redistribute it in the pan every ten minutes or so. Let cool for about a half hour, or until granola is crispy and dry.<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Think fruit</strong>. Once the granola is cooled, toss it with your favorite dried fruit for added sweetness. I love dried apples, cherries or cranberries but hit your nearest natural foods store for a wider selection of exotic and tropical fruits like mango or papaya.<br />
<br />
Granola can be high in calories but is very calorie dense. I like to use my homemade granola on top of yogurt so I can control my portions.<br />

But, I just had to share it with you just in case you missed it. I'm not even really sure who to give credit to as so many sites have this recipe and I really don't know where it came from originally.
This recipe is a dieter or even a chip nut dream. You can finally have your chips and eat it too. You get to finally make a truly crispy chip with out any oil or at least very little.
Change up the seasoning if you like. Maybe a little vinegar or some popcorn seasoning you can find from the grocery store. So yum!
<br />
<br />
Try using sweet potatoes. carrots, parsnips and any other root vegetable! <br />
<br />
Here is the magic potato chip recipe:

Thinly Slice the Potato</b> - Cut the potato in half. Slice one half on a mandolin, aiming for slices 1/8 to 1/16-inch thick. Immediately put the slices in cold water. Repeat with the other half of the potato and any other potatoes you are preparing.<br />
<b></b><br />
<b>2. Soak and Rinse the Slices</b> - Rinse the slices in cold water until the water stays clear. If you have time, let them soak for a few extra minutes before rinsing.<br />
<b></b><br />
<b>3. Dry the Slices</b> - Dry the slices between two clean dish cloths or spin them in a salad spinner.<br />
<b></b><br />
<b>4. Season the Slices</b> - Arrange as many slices as will fit in a single layer on the glass plate right in the microwave, lined with a few paper towels or parchment paper. Make sure the slices do not touch or else they stick together. If desired, sprinkle with salt or other spices. For richer-tasting chips, brush the slices with olive oil first.<br />
<b></b><br />
<b>5. Microwave the Slices</b> - Microwave the slices at 100% power for 3 minutes. Flip them over and microwave at 50% power for another 3 minutes. Remove any chips that are starting to crisp and brown. Continue cooking the remaining chips at 50% power in 1 minute intervals until they are all crispy and golden.<br />
<b></b><br />
<b>6. Repeat with Remaining Batches</b> - Transfer cooked chips to a bowl and repeat microwaving with the remaining slices of potato.<br />
<b></b><br />
<b>Storing</b> - Chips will stay crispy for a few days if kept in an airtight container or zip-lock bag. You can also prepare the raw slices ahead of time, store them in cold water in the refrigerator, and bake them off as you want them.<br />

Yum! My kids adore these little bite size meat muffins. I make a whole batch (12 muffins) and they are gone before we all go to bed. They just call out, when you open the fridge. These gems are 3 points + weight watchers each so if you are following weight watchers than best not open the fridge after dinner.<br />
<br />
If you don't have the time to caramelize the onion, than just chop it up and add it raw. Caramelizing it, just brings out a real yummy sweet flavor but both methods are good.<br />

This recipe is a staple in the house when we are all trying to eat healthier and maybe shed a few pounds. It is super filling for only 1 ww points plus per slice. And it is loaded with FREE good for you vegetables. This is good hot, cold or even room temperature. Bring it for your next brown bag lunch or grab a slice for the morning commute I've made this dish so many times that now I just eye ball it. Add different vegetable and you could even add some cheese but than it would no longer be just one point.<br>
<br>

This recipe completely surprised me and the whole family. It was just that good. Ive had spaghetti squash in place of spaghetti before and it was just OK. So I wasn't super excited to try it out again but boy, was I wrong. You really must try this recipe out, it is just that good!<br />
<br />
Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
<br />
Vegetarian & Gluten Free (Serves 2)
<br />
<br />
1 medium spaghetti squash
(total of about 4 cups)<br />
<br />
1/2 tsp garlic powder<br />
1/3 cup cottage cheese<br />
1 egg white<br />
1/2 cup tomato sauce or jarred spaghetti sauce<br />
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella and Cheddar blend<br />
Sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for the top once it is baked<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlqQ2DoPegAp2jb7XGIt82oX_kx42wdvftIPa78HllcTMXx26FhHqGi-nByx13aOAs__Kkf0w0gDnC0Ls0QnZjlStY9MwqEanI1hBFvqpvHk52d1v4ijX0V0fXsWo6Pda3lp2UXsUOWag/s1600/spagetti.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlqQ2DoPegAp2jb7XGIt82oX_kx42wdvftIPa78HllcTMXx26FhHqGi-nByx13aOAs__Kkf0w0gDnC0Ls0QnZjlStY9MwqEanI1hBFvqpvHk52d1v4ijX0V0fXsWo6Pda3lp2UXsUOWag/s320/spagetti.jpg" height="320" title="baked spaghetti squash recipe" width="213" /></a></div>
Optional toppings: Fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper, green onions
<br />
<br />
Prick the squash with a fork several times. Pop in the microwave for about 6 minutes depending on the size. It should be soft. Cut in half length wise. Scoop out all of the seeds. <br />
<br />
With a fork, scrap the inside of both halves to make it look like spaghetti. In a separate bowl, add the pulled squash and tomato sauce and basil. Fill the inside with 1/2 of this mixture evenly between 2 halves. Mix cottage cheese and egg together with garlic powder. Add cottage cheese on top of sauce mixture and top the rest of sauce mixture. Finish with mozzarella/ cheddar cheese. Pop it back in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese starts to bubble and brown. Pull it out of the oven, let cool for a few minutes, sprinkle with basil, Parmesan, and/or crushed red pepper and serve!
This is so much cheesy goodness, you’ll forget that you’re also getting in a few servings of vegetables. : ) <br />
<br />
You could use a casserole dish instead of baking it in the spaghetti squash but hey, why bother with the dirty dish!<br />

Who does not love some pancakes?? My whole family loves pancakes. The kids like a little bit of chocolate chips in theirs and my husband and I love fruit right inside our pancakes. I have tried and tried to make healthy pancakes for the kids while sneaking some extra protein in. Finally, I think I have it perfected! I don't add the protein powder in for the kids because they can some how taste it. I on the other hand, don't taste it at all. You decide!<div style="margin: 0px 0px 1.46em; padding: 0px;">

If not check out the article <a href="http://o.canada.com/health/chicken-nuggets-at-fast-food-restaurants-contain-as-little-as-40-meat/" target="_blank">here. </a> They are made out of some very nasty stuff, including 50 percent skeletal muscle. Eeek! I'm sure you can find some decent frozen ones in the super market but at least you know now, to be sure to check out the label! <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">But, these ones are so easy, you really won't save too much time buying the frozen ones and these ones you know exactly what goes into them! </span></div>

Love the lettuce wraps at PF Changs? Well, these are even better!</div>
<div>
<br></div>
This is my 15 year old son's favorite dish of all time. He even helps me cook this one because he just cant wait to get his paws on one of these wraps. I have this as a main course with a vegetable and a side of brown rice. My husband adds the rice right in the wrap but I prefer it on the side.<br>
<br>
This would make an excellent appetizer as well.<br>
<strong></strong><br>
<strong>Sauce:</strong><br>
1/2 cup hoisin sauce<br>
2 tsp. sesame oil<br>
2 tbsp. rice vinegar<br>
<br>
<strong>For the Pork:</strong><br>
2 tbsp. peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger or jarred ginger<br>
2 tsp. finely chopped red jalapeno pepper (use more or less to your taste)<br>
2 cloves garlic, minced<br>
1 1/4 lb. lean ground pork<br>
2/3 cup chopped water chestnuts<br>
2 tsp. toasted sesame seeds (optional)<br>
2 heads Boston butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce<br>
<br>
<strong>Directions:</strong><br>
<br>
<strong>Sauce:</strong><br>
In a medium bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar.<br>
<br>
<strong>Pork:</strong><br>
Spray and heat oil spray in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add ginger and jalapeno pepper. Sauté for 1 minute. Add garlic and sauté for additional 30 seconds. Add ground pork and cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until the pork is cooked through. Transfer the pork mixture to a large bowl lined with paper towel. That will help to soak up some of that extra fat from the pork.<br>
Return and stir the pork mixture back into the skillet and add the hoisin sauce. Turn the heat to medium-low and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.<br>
Transfer the pork mixture to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Wash and dry the leaves of two heads of Boston butter lettuce. Serve with the wraps and allow everyone to scoop some of the pork mixture into the lettuce leaves to make individual wraps. <br>
<br>
Eat with your hands!<br>
<br>
Serves 4 as main course-we get about 3-4 each depending on how full you make your wraps<br>
