I've been reading all these recipes looking for some theats so I thought I'll share mines with you, hope you'll like them and will fit in our meal-plans.



Tuna Salad


Tuna fish canned, in water or I used to use it in oil (hanen't eaten it for looong)
1 Tomato
1/2 cup of mozarella cheeze (skim, part skim WM, whichever you prefer)
Lettuce ( I prefer with boston lettuce)
salt, pepper

Get a bowl, pad it with lettuce leaves, or you may tear them to little parts. In a different bowl -only if you use the teared version-, mix tuna, 0.5" cubes of cheeze and tomato, salt, pepper. I myself don't like to mix it with the lettuce because it gets easily soaked and it not as enjoyable..



Turkey pilaf ( this is what I've been eating in the past few days)


1 cup of dark brown rice
1 cup or more if you wish of ground turkey -breast
0.5 head of onion
1/4 cup of grean peas
majoram, pepper, salt, paprika!!!!, little thyme
olive oil

Cook rice with some salt if you'd like (remember it has to cook for like 30-45 mins). Hot oil, put in cubed onions, braise. Put turkey in, let it simmer, put spices in. When rice and turkey almost done, pour rice into the turkey, stir, let the water steam away, if no water in add some, put grean peas in. Cook it for about 10 minutes together.


Chicken salad



Broiled chicken breast cubed
Broiled potato cubed
1.5 apple without skin cubed
1/4 cup of mozarella cheeze cubed (skim, part skim,WM)
Grean beans chopped -steamed, cooked
Grean peas -steamed, cooked
Corn if you can handle it -steamed, cooked
Carrots cubed -steamed,cooked
Mustard, mayo, salt, pepper, a little squeeze of lemon juice
Mix them


My chicken breast


Chicken breast fillet, salt, white pepper. Brush on a little of LF sour cream, then a just a little of mustard. Olive oil in pan, hot it, chicken in it.


Peanut butter cookie

1 cup of anpb
1 cup of splenda (stevia is bitter..)
1 egg

( I know 1 cup of pb and splenda a little too much, the proportion is what matters)


Hope you'll like them.

From the oxygen board:

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

2 cups of oatmeal (uncooked preferably quick oats)
4 scoops protein
S/F syrup
cinnamon
splenda
Mix this all very well in a bowl. The last three items you add the amount suited to your taste buds. The more the sweeter!

Take one green apple (I use one of those apple cutters that cuts it into chunks) then thinly slice the apple into little pieces ( the thinner you slice the quicker they will bake)

Mix the apple in with the mixture above

Bake at 480 degrees for about 10 minutes

Szechuan Green Beans

2 1/2 cups (1 inch) cut green beans
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1 tblsp. Hoisin sauce
1 packet Splenda
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce

Steam or simmer green beans until crisp & bright green. Drain.

Combine all remaining ingredients in a medium-heat pan. Cook approx. 2 minutes, or until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently. If needed, thin with a bit of veggie or chicken stock. Toss with green beans.

Serve alongside pork or chicken and with rice, if desired.
