Lots of good things have been cooking at my house! I won’t overload today but I’ll try to give a rundown of some good foods that we have been eating. First…(I think dessert always should go first), a completely Adkins Unfriendly dessert, Apple Bread Pudding. But at 4pts per serving it’s so warming and yummy. (yields about 5 servings) I did not photograph it mainly because my hubby and kid got into it before I could, lol.
6 slices double fiber bread
3T low fat spread
¾C soy milk (Im sure skim would work)
3 egg whites
1T cinnamon
¼C honey
2 medium semi tart apples
Toast bread, cut into 1 inch squares, dice apples set aside. Combine all other ingredients and then toss bread and apples into mix. Grease a baking dish, pour mixture in and bake at 350 for about 20minutes.
I topped it with a small amount of maple syrup instead of a bourbon sauce. Incredible.
Sunday dinner this week earned me 5 stars from the hubs. He said it was one of the best things I’ve cooked ever. Really? I couldn’t believe it because it was hodge podge of pantry surfing.
2 small potatoes diced and places in a bag add,1T onion power and 1T parsley and 1T olive oil, toss and spread on a baking sheet. Cook about 20 minutes at 350- 4pts for 3 oz of potato
Bunch of asparagus sprayed lightly with nonfat cooking spray and lightly salted, cooked on medium in a nonstick skillet -0
Sirloin steak cubed and browned, add Vidalia onion and mushrooms and sauté. Add dry brown gravy mix prepared with 1C white wine and simmer for about 15 minutes. 6oz- 10 pts.
This meal tastes indulgent, it is a little high in points, but still lower than a meal out at most restaurants.
Next I decided to get to cooking with my store buys. I knew I wanted to make a low point soup for the week. What I made was a 100% power food soup at 2pts preserving (yields 5 servings)
8C chicken broth
1C scallions
1 onion
3 stalks celery
1T minced garlic
1/2T fresh minced ginger
2C chopped Bok Choy
3 small potatoes diced
1tsp red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
It’s pretty simple. Add all things to the pot and simmer. I cooked it Sunday and enjoyed it today. It was really simple, filling and good. It has a nice spice on the back of it that, paired with the ginger gives it a miso feel.
I also made these...
they were a quick and easy crock pot weekend lunch. I put them on the night before. I used some pork chops that I had left over, marinaded them for about 1 hour. Placed them in the crock pot with about 1/4C water and set on low for 10 hours. I shredded them and served them fajita style. Two tacos were 6 points.
Tonight I made a pretty low point version of King Ranch chicken. I’ll post that tomorrow.
I have run 2 miles five times so far (even after pizza night). I plan on moving up a quarter mile on tomorrows run. My plan is to hit the gym before weigh-in tomorrow, let’s see if it happens.
I’ve stayed on track this week. I’ve eaten more of my WP than ever, I have about 22 remaining, but I’ve earned more AP than ever. I have about 54 AP that I didn’t use, so hopefully that creates a wash.
Fingers crossed until tomorrow!
