Tuna Burger (similar to tuna patties)

6oz can Albacore Tuna packed in water
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup Parmesean Cheese
1 whole egg

Mix all of the above together. Fry on a skillet or frying pan until golden. Finish up in the oven for 5 minutes.

Tastes very good. I can barely stand uncooked tuna since I've tried it this way. Works well with salmon too.

Cheesy-Crab Dip

OK -- this isn't exactly the most healthy, but I made it yesterday for Superbowl & it was gooooood!!

1 lb. crab meat, cleaned
1 can chopped green chilies
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1 tblsp flour
1 tblsp butter
Shredded cheese
Cayenne pepper, salt, white pepper, hot sauce

Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in flour. Allow to cook till golden -- you want this to be a type of paste (a roux). Add milk, whisking and allow to become thick but don't allow to boil -- simmer slightly on med-low heat. Add cheese, amount depending on how cheesy you want this, stirring to melt. Add chilies & spices, then stir in crab, stirring till heated.

Serve with tortilla chips or Italian/French bread slices.

Jen's Easy Guacamole

Now this is healthy!!

3 avocados -- seeded & mashed. Add about 1/4 cup each: minced tomato, red onion and bell pepper. Add scallions if you like. Mix in hot sauce, lime juice, salt & pepper.

Place in a plastic bowl & drizzle more lime juice all over the top of the guac. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap onto the guac so it's sitting right on the guac. This will help keep it from turning brown..... Use as a dip or sandwich spread.

WOW. I just found some amazing low fat salad dressing. Newman's Own Low Fat Sesame Ginger. Tasty. 35 cals per 2 tbsp.

Broiled Asparagus -

Cover a sheet pan with foil and lay asparagus in a single layer on pan. Drizzle with above dressing and some salt. Broil until done to your desired crispiness.

Drizzle another tbsp on your asparagus once it hits your plate. YUM. I ate this today with salmon patties:

1 pouch of bumblebee pink salmon
1 egg (use 2 if you think it looks a little dry - but one worked for me)
salt & pepper
1/4 cup red onion
2 tbsp golden flax meal
1/8 cup raw oats

Brown in skillet - I use the olive oil spray. Drizzle another 1 tbsp of dressing on your salmon patties. YUMMY.

Makes 6 small patties, 2 servings.

I made the peanut butter granola bars - and had to make some adjustments. It was really dry with just 1/3 cup pb. The syrup sweetens it up and only ads 20 calories to the whole recipe.

2/3 cup ANPB
2 cups Oatmeal
4 TBSP Golden Flax Meal
1/2 cup Cozy Cottage Sugar Free Syrup
