Basic Protein Smoothie, found in Tosca Reno Eat Clean Diet Cookbook.
Substitutions or not include:
- orignal recipe calls for 2 tbsp of unsweetned applesauce, I substituted honey.
- also 1 Tbsp of Wheat Germ, I don't like wheat germ, did not include it.
Just one of my fav things for breakfast on a chilly morning, any time of the year!
A healthy smoothie, using base recipe found in The Eat-Clean Diet cookbook
If you like the benefit of using whole wheat but not the weird texture and bitter taste, then you'll live white whole wheat flour! It's a bit pricey but so worth it!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I made up this sauce as I went along trying to copy the flavor of a cajun style dipping sauce with less fat than a mayo based sauce. It turned out pretty good.
This is a recipe that you prepare the night before serving.
Someone at work brought in their french toast casserole and it was to die for! I only had two bites though, after he told me how much butter and sugar was in it. Soooo disappointing...so I tried my own slimmed down version. It's still not the best for you, but I made it for a large group staying for the holidays and was able to have a normal sized serving without having to explain why I was eating such a small portion. It was delish!
Great with a side of turkey or light breakfast sausage if you can afford the extra calories.
