Very low sodium. Could have been a little lower if using HerbOx No Sodium Beef Bouillon. At best I used Wyler's low sodium and only 1 cube.
Mom made a hamburg casserole that we all loved. Well, this is her stuff my way. With Turkey instead of beef and I add extra onion and a can of black beans. This can be a main casserole dish or a side with steamed veggies or salad.
Place a couple leaves of lettuce on a plate, add a serving of cottage cheese and squoosh the stuffed tomato into the center of the cottage cheese and serve.
My version; this could have used more cumin and maybe a dash of cayanne pepper. Low fat/low sodium
Similar to the one that grandma used to make for our Family Reunions. With a few changes to make it more healthy friendly.
In order to have something different I did this. Although, I like to add more water and ice and have flavored water. Either way it is something not plain.
Saw this on a news article. Used the potatoes I had and not what they suggested, but it came out just as good.
Wanted something different so I was experimenting with ways to get drinks without all the sodium and calories.
My favorite vegetable with mushrooms. I used a spray bottle and spritzed 2 shots of Olive Oil. Not enough of this to calculate.
All the toppings for a salad without the lettuce. You can put this on a bed of lettuce, but I prefer to eat my toppings in a bowl.
This was a very low costing dish that my mom threw together to feed all of us kids. Definately not low cal or low carb, but it can be used as a side or added to soups for extra fullness. Her recipe is just the macaroni, hamburger (gr turkey here) onions, corn and mushroom soup. I added the extras because that is what I had to use up.
I redid this recipe so that it would be the reduced fat version.
This is not a diet recipe. Followed another persons recipe. But if you use the lower fat brands it will be lower in calories.
Experimental cabbage soup. Wow I shocked myself....it came out great!!
This is my flavor enhancing way of cooking. Use any vegetable or meat that you wish to get flavor from. Plus I have MANY spices that I add to most all of my dishes. This is the best way to cook any food without the added calories!!
Just wanted something different with sweet & tart flavors. Any fruit can be added to this tart base. Be sure to have a citrus to help perserve freshness. Orange juice can be added if desired.
Wanted a variety of veges with a kick. I cut all the veges in large pieces for more big bites of veges. Use as little oil and butter as possible and keep a water spray bottle for cooking handy. This will help keep the moisture while you cook and no more oil is needed. Pan frying with all the taste and no extra fat or calories!! The key is to keep turning with spatula and not a spoon. It will brown with flavor and not burn.
Heap on the veges and go light on the meat and this can be an anytime side or meal. Lightly cooked so that the veges are still crisp. You can also add any of your favorite veges to the mix. The more the better!
Something whipped together for one dish dinner. Used 1T less sodium teriyaki to cook chicken in and only used about 4 T of the cooking water for gravy, so calculated 1/2 T instead for an actual reading of nutrients.
My basic cucumber & tomato with extra twist. Radishes added. Plus I add 1 hard cooked egg and a sprinkle of cheese and serve over a bed of lettuce. My favorite salad toppings are used as my basic for veges to munch or top off my side salad. I just keep adding different combinations of vegetables. I like the white dressing so I make my own. Lower than the store bought ones and cheaper too.
This is my quick time favorite veges in my usual white dressing. Needs to be put together in the right order for it to be creamy.
Still trying for a low sodium dressing without too many calories either. You can add minced onion and other ingredients, but remember they spoil faster.
Not real low in sodium because of the cheese and bread crumbs. But is low in fat, has good amount of protein and potassium.
Can be eaten on bread, in salad, or pattied and pan fryed in olive oil. May need more bread crumbs to keep this together for crab cakes. Very tasty.
I recreated my own salsa and it came out like a relish. Very spicy and hot, with a twist of sweet. I blended everything thru the food processor - lightly. Great on Potatoes, fish, salad or even as a side medley.
Quick fix side dish or light vegetarian meal. Can also add meat for a one dish meal. Add your own spices or other ingredients. This is loaded with nutrients, and somewhat low in sodium.
