Delightful Apple cake for any occasion, brunch, bbq, party, not to sweet but yet sweet enough to cure to "I want something sweet" craving. Substitutions can be made to in the recipe with eggs, nuts, etc...
Fresh fruit served as kabobs with an orange/coconut dressing to dip.
I found this recipe @ "The Corner House" in Schull, Ireland. For the tourists when the staff serves the Colcannon they sing:
"Did you every eat Colcannon...
That's made from ticken cream...
Wit greens and scallions blended eyn...
'Tis a pitture in your dreams?"
Tastes so decadent, but is actually a much lighter variation of a classic comfort-food favorite thanks to a few changes in the "custard" mixture.
This recipe idea came to me when I had a couple of day old bagels lying around. I didnt want to waste them so I thought it would be interesting to try and make a bread pudding out of them. Any bagels will do (blueberry or apple cinnamon would be great too), but it just happened that I had 2 cinnamon raisin bagels which worked out really well.
Just a few suggestions:
*If using plain bagels, you may want to add a couple of tablespoons of sugar to your custard mixture and some fresh or dried fruits for a little more flavor.
*Most of the fat in this recipe comes from the addition of walnuts so you can omit the topping altogether, but I really like it!
*Make sure your bagels arent fresh! That will effect the texture of the finished product. If you don't have any stale bagels lying around, you can lightly toast the bagels or cut up pieces the night before and allow to sit out until they're firm.
Comfort food at its best - YUM YUM YUM!! My whole family eats this up. It's delightfully simple & amazingly delicious. Each serving packs 4 grams of fiber & under 150 calories.
All in one dish - low fat & high protein with mouth watering taste :P
A hearty beef and potato stew. Combine the ingredients the night before, set it too cook in the morning and come home to a fresh meal.
Made with regular Cream of Mushroom soup, 12 oz can of tuna, Enriched egg noodles, peas, and skim milk. 1/2 cup serving size.
This is for one of those days when you just WANT pie but you know you dont want to take the calorie hit for it.. lol This totally satisfies my cravings for apple pie with ice cream with LOTS of fiber and bit of protein and a total craving kicker for only 150 calories per serving! YES, I'm serious!
Variations are endless: Prior to searing, sprinkle w/salt & garlic; salt & cayenne pepper; fresh dill; onion powder; even a combination of all.
I fell in love with the Kashi Coco Beach granola last year, but no one is carrying it where I live anymore. It was also pretty expensive for a small package, and had 9 grams of fat per 1/2 cup serving. So this recipe is my attempt to recreate a yummy chocolate coconut granola and knock down some of the fat at the same time. The calories in this version are just below the original (224 vs. 230), but the fat was reduced from 9g to 3g without losing any of the protein (both have 6g of protein)!
