I am going to write all of the "new to me" recipes down and keep them in one book in the kitchen. More likely to use them if they are handy. I really like making granola and oatmeal cookies, too. Then again, I like the oatmeal A LOT, so.....
I had a hard time fitting in all my 'green', so I took a cup of spinach and cut it into little bits and shook it with 1 packet of scrambled eggs. I sprayed a pan with cooking spray, and cooked the eggs to just before they got rubbery, then plated them and added about a third of a wedge of the French Onion Light Laughing Cow cheese.
Probably the best scrambled eggs I've ever eaten, even better than some omelets I've made in the past! I didn't use the cheese as a topping, but rather took a bit onto my fork before grabbing some egg. The cheese doesn't seem to melt too well.
My recipes are not as elaborate as many listed here, but I did find a couple of solutions to get down some of the items that came in the variety pack.
Vanilla Iced Coffee
8 oz. cold coffee (I make extra in the morning and keep it in the frig)
1 MF vanilla shake
1 c. ice
Put all ingredients in a blender.
Chicken with Wild Rice Soup was very bland to me. I added a chicken boulion cube and now I look forward to it.
I tried this Basic Shake Cake recipe today, but used the strawberry shake mix. It was awesome! I will try banana next time. Thanks for posting.

Mix ingredients in a bowl. It will be a thick batter. smooth it out flat to cover the bottom of the bowl. The bottom of the bowl will be the size of your cake. it comes out more like a thick pancake. I microwave mine for 1 minute but I have a wimpy microwave. You can play with the ingredient amounts until you get a consistency you like. Some recipes have more egg beaters, up to 2 to 3 tbsp, I just use more water to save on the lean and stay OP.
For the "cinnabon" version add
1tbsp ICBINB
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Definitely makes for a nice change from shakes all the time. Banana shakes made for a really nice cake.
I started adding the boulion cubes to the wild rice soup because I just could not stand it. It makes it 100 x better!

This really isn't a recipe, but I use cold coffee in place of the water when I have a Swiss Mocha Shake. I add ice and blend in my Magic Bullet. It's my version of a Starbucks Frappacino.

Woohoo! I don't have to give up Starbucks after all. Thanks for sharing.
Gotta love Stacey Hawkins and her Lean and Green cookbook.
She is a TV cook who was successful on program and wrote a super easy LG cookbook for the rest of us.
Her company is Time Savor Gourmet. Just google her or the company and you'll find it.
I like it because they are family friendly meals and use simple ingredients (she has a spice blend line that makes great food too) and everyone eats them so I'm only cooking once.
Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm tired of chicken!! lol
I have a question - When I mixed the medifast pancake mix with 1/4 cup of water, I was able to make 1 (one) approx. 4" pancake. However, the package states that it should make at least three. Is it me?
