These are soo good, and not bad for you either. The only chocolate is 4 little chocolate chips on top of each muffin! YUMMM! (this recipe is from the "Cook Yourself Thin" cookbook with a couple of my tweaks)
This is a fantastic three bean salad that is low in calories and high in protein and flavor. It is super fast to make and can accompany any casual lunch or dinner.
I am trying to be creative during the blended phase following gastric sleeve surgery. I love egg salad, but never make it for myself. I'm thinking this will be a tasty high-protein meal that won't look bad when blended smooth. Only thing missing is bread (Not allowed at this stage)
Cooking skill: medium/easy
Time required: 4 hours for marination, 60 to prep and cook.
You will need to have access to a Whole Foods store, or else make the stuffing yourself.
This dish is absolutely to-die-for delicious, and great on a hot summer night. It is as packed with nutrients as it is with flavor!
I invented this recipe randomly one night after being inspired by the feta salad I picked up from Whole Foods.
Feel free to sub couscous for the orzo if you prefer.
This was inspired by Rick Bayless and my dearest cook amigos. Sounds like it might taste healthy, however it is truly decadent - eaten weekly around here! Use whatever extras you have around. Julienned jicama is a delightfully sweet textural addition. Toss a tomatillo or two in the oven with your salsa ingredients for and added tang and shot of vitamins! Have fun.
I took my mom's recipe and made it healthier by substituting whole grain pasta and low fat mayonaise and salad dressing. You can mix it up by adding chopped bell pepper or other chopped veggies - this is the basic recipe to start from.
I can't resist adding sour cream to these and using flour tortillas! You could certainly drop the fat and sodium by altering these. But the chicken and veggie filling is so healthy, I like to splurge on these additions!
