Recipes I've Shared:
I use an 11x9 glass pyrex baking dish
add crushed red pepper flakes for a pop of flavor an spice
great appetizers or main course
tips:
use white pepper if you don't want to see black pepper flakes in chili
add additional heat by adding extra green chilies, cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes
top with diced onions, shredded cheese, sour cream
serve with crackers,cornbread, or tortilla chips
I put all veggies in food processor and pulverize, makes a natural thickener for soup
omit olive oil and steam veggies or just add them to beans for less fat
I add 1/4 tsp ground cumin for a smoky flavor
(substitutes for the smoky flavor you're missing from not using smoke meat)
I used 8 cups of water for this recipe
I used dark chicken for added flavor, but white is just as good and cuts down a little on calories
I used red bell peppers for added color, but any color does fine
add 1/4 cup frozen corn and or black beans
leave out chicken and make vegetarian
use corn or flour tortillas
season to taste (I don't use any additional seasoning as sauce and peppers have enough for my tasted buds)
make head:
freezes well, don't add cheese on top, let cool and freeze til ready to use. remove from freezer and prepare as usual
tips:
use any small dry pasta
use any canned or leftover beans
add 1/2 cup fresh spinach to bottom of serving bowl just before adding soup for an extra veggie boost
add hotsauce, cayenne pepper or pepper flakes for a little spice
replace frozen peas & carrots and potatoes with a 12 oz bag of frozen mixed veggies
replace chicken with one cooked turkey italian sausage (skin removed) and pinto beans with white beans and add 2 cups spinach for a great version of pasta fagoli or italian wedding soup (calories will not change much)
season to taste: I like to add 1/4 tsp each; onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, lemon pepper & black pepper
2 slices per serving

sea salt
black pepper
lemon pepper

tips:
add fresh garlic or garlic powder to egg whites while cooking
also if you spray pan with non-stick spray and add egg whites to cool pan, cook on med for 1-2 minutes (leave them alone) , turn over and turn heat off (leave in pan til ready to serve) they will come out perfect every time
(try spreading mustard on bread for a punch of flavor)
add seasoning to taste ( I don't salt because bacon has enough)
