Recipe Of The Day! Spinach Quiche

This French bistro classic is a perfect one-dish meal, but it can leave you feeling less than svelte. By replacing white flour with whole wheat, and using 2 percent milk instead of cream, I've bid adieu to 25 grams of fat, reduced the calories by half, and quadrupled the fiber. A duo of flavorful cheeses ensures you'll never miss the fat. Boy do I love this dish..

Halloween Treat! Boo Licious

Leading up to Halloween I will post a Halloween recipe along with my Recipe of the day!   BOO LICIOUS Pumpkin Seeds. Here is an easy recipe for roasting fresh pumpkin seeds from your carvings of your pumpkin. Scary Good!   Recipe Yield 1 1/2 cups 83 Calories: Per 1/4 cup Serving   Ingredients:   1 1/2 cups raw whole pumpkin seeds   2 teaspoons butter, melted   1 pinch salt   Directions:   1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).   2. Toss seeds in a bowl with the melted butter and salt. Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown; stir occasionally.   I Found this story I though it was so interesting!   Why Carve Pumpkins?   The story of the Jack o'Lantern comes from Irish folklore. Jack was a crafty farmer who tricked the Devil into climbing a tall tree. When the Devil reached the highest branch, Jack carved a large cross in the trunk, making it impossible for the Devil to climb down.   In exchange for help getting out of the tree, the Devil promised never to tempt Jack with evil again. When Jack died, he was turned away from Heaven for his sins and turned away from Hell because of his trickery. Condemned to wander the earth without rest, Jack carved out one of his turnips, took an ember from the devil, and used it for a lantern to light his way. He became known as "Jack of the Lantern."   Check out my blog if you want to fine my recipe of the day or just a little more about me.   http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

Recipe Of The Day! Maple-Mustard Pork Temnderloin

Diabetes appropriate, Low calorie, Low carbohydrate, Low sodium, Heart healthy, Healthy weight, Gluten free.   What a fantastic recipe and so easy to make. Pork tenderloin is about as lean as it comes so it's a great healthy option, but it shouldn't be overcooked as it can dry out. Maple and mustard make a sweet-and-savory mahogany-colored sauce. A delicate note of sage gives it a wintery touch. Fresh thyme or rosemary also work if you prefer. Serve with barley, roasted squash and a Pinot Noir. What a satisfying dish. ENJOY!!   Makes 4 servings   Active Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 45 minutes   225 calories Per serving   CHECK OUT MY BLOG FOR MORE INFO ON THIS RECIPE AND SO MANY MORE:thumbup: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

Recipe Of The Day! Low Calorie Lettuce Wrap

A certain restaurant that we frequent serves the most delicious lettuce wraps.

A Little Uncomfortable After My Fill!

I had my 1/2 cc fill on Thursday and I'm feeling tight. This is the amount I get all the time - it has worked for me, until now. I have been sick for a few days now, not 100% myself. And I have not eaten anything since Wednesday night. All I have been able to eat was Jell-O, and my low-cal ice pops. Even my boost is not going down well.   I lost 5 pounds from Thursday, down to 201 now. I try to take my 3 mile walk on Friday but I had to cut it short, because I felt like I was going to throw up. So I went back home.   In the past when I had this feeling it would take a few days before I would be ok again. This is takeing a little longer to get back to my 100% self. So if I'm still feeling this way on Monday I think I will need to go back to my Doctor's office and get my frist unfill.:frown:   CHECK OUT MY BLOG FOR MORE INFO ABOUT MY JOURNEY AND MY RECIPES OF THE DAY.   http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

RECIPE OF THE DAY! BLUEBERRY & PEACH COBBLER

Low calorie, Low cholesterol, Low sodium, Healthy weight.   This is a healthier version of a traditional cobbler, with canola oil in place of some of the butter and whole-wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. Unlike more classic biscuit-topped cobblers, the peaches and blueberries are nestled into a tender batter that swells around the fruit as it bakes. Other fruits may be substituted. It's especially beautiful when baked in and served right from a cast-iron skillet. Just made it yesterday for some company and it was a hit. It's really good and guilt free!
