Reason: We are making a new and improved recipe box!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb. 7% lean ground sirloin
2 eggs
1 cup white onion (chopped)
1/2 cup green pepper (chopped)
1/2 cup celery (very finely chopped)
2 tomatoes (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (chopped))
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (washed, stems removed)
Small piece of fresh ginger (peeled and grated)
Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl except for the ginger, cilantro leaves and one of the chopped tomatoes. Shape the meat into a loaf, place in a baking dish and bake in a 325 degree preheated oven for one hour. Remove from the oven, let cool and top with the remaining chopped tomato, grated ginger and cilantro leaves. This is a low-carbohydrate, high protein meal that is rich in fiber, low in sodium, low in fat, low in calories, yet delicious! The fresh cilantro tastes heavenly on top and the ginger helps step up your metabolism so you can burn fat faster. Because this meat loaf steps up your metabolism,and is low in carbohydrates and calories, your body will burn fat readily as long as you accompany this meal with a vegetable dish or salad. Traditional meat loafs can contain tons of fat, and oatmeal which can inhibit the fat burning process due to an insulin response from consuming the oatmeal.
Ingredients:
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (grilled and cut into thin strips)
2 corn tortilla (heated on a warm skillet until soft)
¼ small white onion (chopped)
2 tbs. fresh cilantro
2 thin slices fresh avocado
2 tbs. fresh salsa
Directions:
On a plate, lay the 2 tortillas side-by-side and top with chicken strips, onion, salsa, avocado and onion. Roll up the toppings inside each of the tortillas and enjoy a fast, low calorie taste delight that can be used for lunch or dinner.
This meal is also great when accompanied by a medium size green salad and a few baby carrots.
Ingredients:
1 cup egg whites
1 tsp. olive oil
6 cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
½ Haas avocado (peeled and sliced)
1 green onion (chopped)
sea salt to taste
fresh ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
Pour the egg whites in a lightly oiled non-stick skillet heated to medium high. Top the eggs with the green onion and three of the cherry tomatoes, then cover the pan and cook until the egg whites are solid. Fold over the cooked egg whites to form a semi-circle and slid onto a lager plate. Top with the avocado and remaining cherries, then garnish with parsley. This omelet may be served with 4-5 walnut halves and a low-fat sausage. You may also have an orange or an apple with this dish.
