Wake Up Healthy Quiche

Crust
For the crust I used this recipe... http://www.transfatfree.com/pages/recipes/low%20fat%20pie%20crust.htm

It is a low fat crust, though you could use regular pie crust. I put in 1/4 cup of ground flax seed and didn't put in the almonds because I didn't have any. If I were to make it again, I would only put 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar instead of two because the sweet taste is a little weird with eggs.

Egg Mixture
3 eggs
1/2 cup of diced canned tomatoes (or fresh, either way)
1/4 cup of milk
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried basil

Mix together in a bowl and then pour into crust.

A small amount of grated Mozzarella on top.

To bake

425 degrees F

25 minutes or until the eggs are all the way cooked.

Let it cool a little and then enjoy :)

Delicious Cinnamon Rolls

These were soooo good. They are no yeast cinnamon rolls. I wish I could claim the recipe but it's found at this link... http://www.recipezaar.com/Quick-and-Easy-Cinnamon-Rolls-Yeast-Free-219439
I did the filling a little bit different. I just used white sugar, cinnamon and butter. I did not use raisins. I also put an egg wash on top so they browned up on top.
They were so tasty...

Peanut Sauce Noodles

This picture sucks because I took it on my phone. Today I made peanut sauce noodles which I sometimes call pad Thai, but I know that it's probably not authentic Thai. I am missing a lot of ingredients I normally use but that's good because that way you know you can make it with about anything.


2 chicken breasts chopped in to pieces
1/2 lb of whole wheat pasta (any kind works, it also tastes really good with the Asian noodles but I think whole wheat pasta is a little more nutritious)
Veggies ( I used frozen green beans, peas and edimame (spelled wrong) beans. You could also use carrots, peppers, etc.. use your imagination)
a handful of peanuts
1 tsp of fresh ginger
pepper
salt
garlic powder or the real thing... either or :)

Peanut sauce
1/2 cup peanut butter
*2 Tbsp Honey *only if the peanut butter isn't already sweetened
2 tsp lemon/lime juice (better with lime)
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2c hot water
Mix all together in a bowl till you get a creamy consistency

First boil your noodles or follow the cooking directions on the package. In a frying pan add some cooking oil. When the pan is good and hot add the chicken and let it cook and get brown. Once the chicken is cooked add the ginger, veggies, peanuts and spices to taste. After everything is cooked and heated add the cooked pasta in with the veggies and chicken. Finally, pour the peanut sauce on the top of everything and give it 1-2 minutes in the frying pan while stirring. If you're feeling spicy, you can add some hot sauce on top when you're ready to serve. Enjoy!

Chrissy's Chili Recipe... A recipe from a Registered Dietitian!

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 can (bigger can) tomato paste
1 can tomato sauce
1 can kidney beans
1 can black beans
1 green bell pepper
1 onion
4 cloves garlic
cumin
hot sauce
chili powder
salt
pepper

Just cooked the meat, added the garlic, onion, pepper and cooked.. Added the tomato sauce and paste, then the spices and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Then I drained the beans, rinsed with water (to decrease salt, haha) and added them to the pot. I kept adding hot sauce until it was spicy enough...I also just added spices til I thought it tasted good.

Apple French Toast

For the French Toast:
6 bread slices, any kind of bread
3 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp of vanilla

For the Apple syrup
1 apple sliced in to thin slices
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

First crack 2 to 3 eggs into a bowl big enough to put a piece of bread in it. Scramble the eggs. Add 1 tsp of vanilla and 1 tsp of vanilla to the scrambled eggs.

Grease your pan and turn it to medium. Once the pan is hot, dunk once side of the bread slice in the egg mixture. Then flip the bread so that both sides are covered in eggs. Put the bread in the pan. Cook until the side face down gets brown then flip. Once both sides are cooked take it out of the pan. Repeat with all 6 slices.

For the apple syrup. Take the sliced apple, brown sugar and water and heat on medium high. Stir occasionally. Cook until the apples are soft.

When all the french toast is done cooking, place 3 slices on each plate. Pour the apple syrup on the french toast and serve. Enjoy!

Quick Biscuits

These are the easiest thing to make. They are peppered turkey and cheese biscuits! They are good for lunch, a side for dinner or even breakfast and you can add whatever ingredients you have and like.

1 cup Bisquick
milk
grated cheddar cheese (but you can use whatever you have)
sliced peppered turkey lunch meat (also can use whatever you have)
Pepper

Heat your oven to 400 degrees.

All you do is mix the Bisquick with enough milk to get a thick dough. Start adding in 1/4 a cup, then just keep adding until the dough is think and sticky. Next add your grated cheese and lunch meat. Mix well so that the cheese and lunch meat spread through out the mixture. Next, drop them on a greased baking sheet in lumps of about3-4 inch diameters. Just make them in the shape you would like to eat them. I usually just drop them on the baking sheet in big spoon fulls. Put them in the oven and bake them for about 10 minutes or until the tops are turning golden brown. Cool them for a few minutes, then enjoy!

Dinner At Our Friends

Pretty Desserts :) (but yeah, I didn't make them, I bought them)

Last night we went to our friends house for dinner. We had Alfredo Spaghetti, Parmesan Chicken, Green Beans and Salad.
The alfredo, of course, was delicious. The chicken was really good too but I didn't find out the recipe. I know that they cooked it in a frying pan with some olive oil and some parmesan cheese recipe but I couldn't figure out what it was. It was really tasty.

The desserts on the left are from New Seasons. On the top layer there are these raspberry pastries (not exactly sure what they are), the second layer is white cupcakes, and the bottom layer is 'haystacks'. The Haystacks were coconut clumps covered in chocolate. They were pretty good but I thought they were a little too big. They were REALLY sweet so it was hard to eat the whole thing. There are also Hawaiian shortbread cookies in between the desserts which, in my opinion, are the best things on there. I don't know if those desserts are the best thing ever, but they were good enough.

Overall the night went really well except we lost at Taboo and the Beavers lost their football game!

Most likely tonight we will be eating pizza... but you never know :)

Stay tuned.
