RECIPES
Turkey Sloppy Sliders, click here. This recipe has all of my favorite ingredients and LOVE LOVE LOVE that she likes to add flavor with spices and fresh vegetables and not with processed canned ingredients. This recipe make about 8 sliders and 4 regular sandwiches To make sure I have enough for the next night I am adding the ingredients by half.
For the salad, I am going to use some of the green beans I need for tomorrow, cucumber, crasins, sunflower seeds and a little bit of the feta needed for the last meal of the week. Topping it with a blue cheese vinaigrette (my new addiction).
Left over creation - EASY. Boil half a package of whole wheat pasta. In another pan, heat up the left over sloppy mix on a stove top over medium heat. When the pasta is done, mix with the sloppy. Top with some shredded low-fat cheddar cheese. DONE!
For the green beans I simply steam, but you could easily bake in the oven with some olive oil, lemon, garlic and salt. Gives them a fresh, crunchy taste.

Frittata, click here for the recipe. This dish isn't that bad for you, calorie wise, however, the sodium is pretty high. To make this one with a healthy twist, I use turkey bacon, 2% milk and reduced-fat feta cheese. Also, I am not adding potatoes, but if you want to add, go for it and just add to your grocery list. .
Whole wheat mountain bread and pre-made fruit salad is on sale, so this was an easy side for my family.
Pork and Pumpkin Noddle Bowls, here for the recipe. This is a new one and very excited to try. Really have no tips as it appears to be pretty healthy and full of flavor. I will keep you updated.

The Pork and Pumpkin Noddle Bowls (plates for my house) turned out better than I thought and really took 30 minutes! That very rarely happens.
ReplyDeleteI didn't add sage, only because I forgot to buy it, added the red onion to the water/pumpkin/soy sauce and used feta instead of blue cheese! Hubby and kid asked for seconds!
