I tried to add more fiber to a Bran & Blueberry muffin recipe. I made 9 regular sized muffins. This amount of batter could have made 6 large muffins if you have the larger pans.
Mine came out pretty moist so baking times may need to be adjusted.

We like this combination in the spring when asparagus are fresh. Of course you could use any kinds of vegetable you like to grill.

Delicious protein source. This receipe is double so you can cook it one time and freeze the rest.

This is a lovely, dark, meaty tasting dish without the meat!
This serves a crowd, with 9 generous half cup servings.

Try to find "French Green Lentils", as they are the best. I purchase mine at an organic grocery. If you cannot find those, then look for a small, roundish, green to brown lentil. Sometimes these are named just brown lentil. If you look closely however, there will be a greenish cast and these are much smaller and also more round than those you find in the one pound bags at the regular grocery store. These Lentils are so much better than those plain, flat, brown ones that you find everywhere. They take a little longer to cook, but are well worth the patience expended!

I modified a recipe to use almond milk instead of dairy and changed the sugar to all brown sugar. I also cut the total sugar from 1/2 c to 1/3 cup since almond milk is naturally sweet.

This is good over any kind of pasta, Penne, Rigatoni, Shells etc. It makes one serving over just 1/2 c cooked pasta. It is adapted from part of the Cinch diet plan.

This is adapted from Cinch. I found the original too bland and added tomato soup to give it flavor. I used very large peppers so one was enough for a serving because I wanted to have a fruit desert with it.

I saw this online, but don't remember where. It is so easy to make I could memorize it without trouble.

I made this with Almond milk because it has less calories and more calcium.

A versatile base for egg dishes.. I developed it to make my scrambled eggs a little more interesting this morning but it could also work in an omelet or even a quiche if you cooked the veggies a little less!

I found several soup recipes that used lentils and made up my own combination from the things I like in soup.

I like this as a change from rice & vegetable.

I like to make smoothies with almond milk rather than plain yogurt because the yogurt is sour and requires more sweetener. Also, if someone has issues with dairy, the almond milk may be a better choice.

I studied several other recipes and came up with my own version. I did not add any extra suger, oil or butter like those I studied.

At 300 calories a pop, donuts are an easy way to wreck a healthy breakfast. Not my baked ones. They're bursting with fruit and flavor--not fat!

Cookbook creator says: I forgot to mark this as 4 servings, so you have to divide the calorie count shown by 4.

I tried making this using breasts only as it is difficult to figure out portion sizes using a whole chicken. I only eat the breast when I make this anyway.
