Friar Tuck Recipes

Whole wheat tortillas filled with tuna salad and lettuce.

For those who don't like cottage cheese, it melts through this when it is cooked

A crisp, lemon-pepper fish with a golden crust, made tender with buttermilk and spiced with pepper and basil. An egg white holds it all together!

Great on a hot day!

A twist on the classic BLT--substitute lettuce with thyme!

VERY high protien!!1/2 traditional rolled, 1/2 layered it's easy, and you never even know it's got tofu in it :0)

Tried this recipe with Orange Roughy and it was AMAZING!!! And pretty easy too! I can't wait to try it on Halibut or Cod! I also added a little cayenne and Old Bay Seasoning for a little extra kick! Then we served it over some jasmine rice I made some garlic and cayenne sauteed shrimp to go with it! You'll LOVE it!!!

Very simple recipie with only 3 ingredients that tastes devine!

Adapted from a HungryGirl recipe and filled with fiber, protein, and veggies, these tasty things are all you need for dinner!

This is a very low fat alternative to traditional deep fried or pan fried fish. The fish comes out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

A beautiful way to "wrap up" a healthy dinner!

Simple, perfect roast turkey just like grandma used to make. The flavors of the turkey really stand out. Stuff with your favorite dressing

This is a one pot meal, you've got a protein, veggies, & starches. Enjoy!

This quiche showcases fresh asparagus and gruyere cheese with a no nonsense crescent roll crust. Easy enough for a late breakfast and fancy enough for brunch with company!

It's important to layer vegetables under meat in a crockpot as they take longer to cook. The root vegetables needing the most time. Along with that, layering them like this allows all the ingredients on top to exude their juices and cook-down to flavor everything below.
I prefer to leave the roast whole as this allows me to remove the fat and cut the meat to my own preference after, which is of course, falling apart and fork tender. It also allows me to separate the roast and freeze some for the future or having the vegetables, which are yummy in their own right, without the beef, for meals I don't want red meat.
I make this as a batch meal, portion it out and keep it in the fridge for a week as something quick and filling.

I thought I'd try a twist on the traditional latkes this year!

The only turkey recipe you'll ever need--no basting necessary.

Homemade Honey Oat Bread

Tucked into tortillas, with corn and black beans, or atop a bed of lettuce, this is a delicious staple at our house. Easy crowd pleaser!

I like these because they are a complete meal-in-one. Meat, vegetable and a little starch all wrapped up in each bundle.

This recipe makes up quicker than most when using a pressure cooker but it can be baked in the oven or in a Dutch oven on top of the stove.

There is some brown rice in it but the percentage of carbs is low and the protein is high. Ground turkey could be substituted for one or both of the meats but the nutrition information would need to be changed.

There are many different kinds of stuffed cabbage recipes originating from many countries. This is more like the Polish-type (pronounced go-wum-ki) and is simpler than others. If your lifestyle is like mine, simple is better!

This is my take on Taco Bell's Burrito that I like to eat. Its less calories, more fiber, and just overall healthier version.
