Flo's New Generation Cookbook

One of my greatest problems with maintain weight loss is that I have separate cookbooks. I have authentic Italian fare, American favorites and then "diet food" cookbooks. Its like having split personalities.
My goal is to blend my recipes into a new, healthy legacy for me and my family.

Incredible! 5.0/5

This is my family's favorite Italian wedding soup. The mini meatballs are a huge hit with the kids. Although many people use spinach for the leafy green in wedding soup, the recipe that was handed down to me called for endive lettuce, so that is what I use. Endive costs a lot less than spinach, and my family and I have always enjoyed our soup made with it. . If spinach is your favorite, feel free to make a substitution.

My neighbor gave me this awesome recipe that her grandfather used to make. It used regular pork sausage and way more cheese and butter. This is my low cal version. I serve it with 1/2 cup of cannelloni beans and I add those to my calorie count separately. You could cook them in the soup though and add them into the recipe. (My boyfriend won't eat the beans.)

Seriously EASY and tasty flour tortillas. Take the time to prepare them, be patient with the food and with yourself, and you'll have really awesome wraps for a sandwich :) Having a cast iron tortilla pan works nicely, as does the ability to roll sticky dough into the thickness of a traditional crepe.

Soba Noodles, Chicken, and Veggies with Caramelized Garlic Sauce
Very Good 4.9/5

Warning: must love garlic.

This dish serves 1, but can easily be modified to serve more.

Some Soba noodles are gluten-free (check package). They are made from buckwheat and metabolize much more slowly than most carbohydrates, which makes them ideal for diabetics and health-conscious individuals. You can pick them up at your local japanese market or health food store.

If you don't have any chicken leftovers on hand, Marinate chicken breast tenderloins or sliced breasts in some sesame oil, chopped up garlic, sake or rice vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper for 4-24 hours. Cook in nonstick skillet.. adding a bit of soy sauce and sake/wine halfway through the cooking.

This sauce can be used on any noodles with just about any vegetables you like. Enjoy :)

Gluten-Free Banana Nut Bread
Very Good 4.8/5

My mom was diagnosed with celiac disease about 8 years ago. We have looked everywhere for delicious recipes that substitute other products for gluten. i was fortunate to come upon this wonderful recipe, which uses only 2 unusual ingredients: GF flour and Xanthan Gum. Even though I CAN eat gluten, I still very much enjoy this delicious banana bread. It is best hot from the oven!

It is super moist, bursting with flavor, and you would never know it was GLUTEN FREE :)))

Plus, it is very low in saturated fat and high in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat. It is fairly low carb for a banana bread and it also has 1 gram of sugar PER slice....and they are generous servings!
