LOW FAT, LOW CHOLESTEROL, LOW CALORIE BREAKFAST WRAP

This is my favorite way to have a quick, low fat, low cholesterol, low calorie, wrap for breakfast that includes: calcium, Vitamin D, high fiber, and high protein.

Ingredients:

1 egg

1 Olé Wrap (Meijer has them)

1 slice cheese

1 sheet Parchment paper

1 baking pan

If you want to lower the cholesterol in this recipe even more, use Egg Beaters or a similar product instead of the egg. Study my photos…

Marcy's Protein Powder-less Protein Bar

Marcy’s Protein Powder-less Protein Bar

I know I last wrote that I was on vacation. A lot has happened since I’ve last written here. I’ll have to leave that for another day. Today I want to post a recipe for an easy to make protein bar that doesn’t require protein powder. According to “The U.S. Navy Seal Guide to Nutrition” you don’t need protein powder. And I quote, “Don’t get trapped into buying so-called ‘muscle building’ powders…

VACATION!

I am taking a vacation from my blog so do not expect the usual post from me on the 3rd Friday of the month. My responsibilities have piled up and something had to give! I hope to resume posting when I have more free time. Keep up with your good health meals and good exercise habits! This is no time to slack off ; – )

Happy reading and blogging.

NEWFOOD FRIDAY FLASH – STRATA

Is it me or does the word “strata” make you think you’re going to see a Fellini movie? Or, is that only if you’re a movie buff? If you’re a science buff, maybe it makes you think of outer space as in stratosphere? Or, if you’re in the military, maybe it makes you think of strategy as in strategic maneuvers? I have wanted to try strata for a long time but it’s made with leftover or stale bread.…

NEW FOOD FRIDAY FLASH – THE COLOR PURPLE, AND ORANGE, AND YELLOW, AND …..

When I think of a stew, I usually think of a stew with meat. This, however, is a meatless stew. It’s unusual in that one of the ingredients is coconut milk. This recipe is taken from the book, “Eating By Color.” It’s a beautifully illustrated book and categorized by the color of the fruit or vegetable. I’ve been trying to increase the vegetables in my diet which is why this is my choice for this…

NEW FOOD FRIDAY FLASH - RUTABAGA

NEW FOOD FRIDAY FLASH – RUTABAGA

You’ve probably heard of rutabaga and you may have even tried it a time or two. Well, it’s time to revisit rutabaga because I found a recipe combining rutabaga and sweet potato and it’s delicious! So, guess where it’s going? That’s right, in my February New Food Friday Flash post!

I came across the creator of this recipe while watching a cooking show on PBS. The chef’s name is Annabel…

NEW FOOD FRIDAY FLASH – BOBOTIE

I was tossing out old magazines and I stopped short when I saw this recipe in a magazine called Journey. I don’t often see a recipe that comes from South Africa but when I saw this one for Bobotie, I knew I had to post it in my blog. I’m not sure of the pronunciation because I’ve seen it pronounced several ways on the Internet, but I’m going with “Bobootie.” South Africans enjoy spicy Eastern…

NEW FOOD FRIDAY FLASH – MANGO CHUTNEY

We all know that salmon is good for us. We want to get that Omega-3! But sometimes the flavor of salmon is too strong. It may turn you off or prevent you from enjoying your meal as much as you could. Bears don’t seem to have this problem but last time I checked, I wasn’t a bear. I have, however, come up with a solution for us homo sapiens. Mango chutney. It’s a topping you dollop on your cooked…

NEW FOOD FRIDAY FLASH – GREEK CREAM CHEESE

I’m always looking for foods that contain calcium. One new product is a cream cheese, the other is an old standby, buttermilk.

Let’s do the new product first. Green Mountain Farms has created “Greek Cream Cheese & Greek Yogurt” for the conscientious consumer: you and me! Where most cream cheese has only 2 – 4% calcium (I know, you would think there is more calcium in cream cheese), Green…

A PENNY SAVED IS A PENNY EARNED

The weather recently in Indianapolis had been glorious! Lots of sunshine, warm with cool breezes; perfect for the projects I save to do at the change of the seasons every year. My latest project is one that is supposed to prevent moss/algae from growing on the roof of my mini-barn. It actually should work on any roof.

My neighbor’s tree has grown to the point that it keeps my mini-barn in the…

NEW FOOD FRIDAY FLASH – SLIMCADO LITE

I’m always on the lookout for new food products and I came across this one at my local Kroger. For those of you who love avocadoes but hate the fat and the calories, this Slimcado has 50% less fat and 35% less calories than a regular avocado. Therefore, it is my choice for this month’s NEW FOOD FRIDAY FLASH.

A Slimcado tastes just like a regular avocado. It looks just like a regular avocado.

New Food Friday Flash – Irish Soda Bread

I have been on the hunt for an easy to make, quick, delicious bread recipe since the year of the flood. I think I found it! This is not the usual recipe for Irish Soda Bread. Most recipes I’ve seen contain raisins. This one is raisin free. If I want bread with raisins then I’ll also want cinnamon in it. Then it wouldn’t be Irish Soda Bread, it would be Cinnamon Raisin Bread. I also have a recipe…

New Food Friday Flash – A Better Breakfast

I’m a big fan of PBS. They have a program; actually, it’s more like a documentary, they call “Breakfast Special.” Apparently, it was so popular that they now have a Breakfast Special II. The narrator and cameraman (and crew) go around the country at various restaurants that serve breakfast. These breakfasts are special! The interviewed customers rave about them. The program is light and funny.…

An Episode of “Cops” Right Before My Eyes

April 9, 2015 around 11:30 am, a Thursday. I decided to go to the library even though the weather predictions were for severe storms. My car needed a free rain wash so as far as I was concerned, it was a perfect day. That’s how it started out anyway.

As I was making the turn onto Rockville Road, I was barely able to make the turn because traffic was so backed up. I knew there must be an…

New Food Friday Flash – Wildflower Honey and Honeybees

All my life, I used clover honey in my tea and in any baking dishes or any recipes that called for honey. The truth is I never really liked the taste of it. One day, I decided to try Wildflower Honey. I will never go back!

Wildflower Honey

As you might have guessed, wildflower honey is from wildflowers and clover honey is from clover, the annoying green that has invaded your lawn!

I have also…

Cooking Tips and Other Tricks

With over 50 years of cooking and baking, I have come up with a few cooking tips that I have not seen mentioned anywhere else. I’d like to share them with you.

LEMONS

Here is a tip for fresh lemons that I learned accidentally! You know how lemons turn to mush after you had cut them in half and only used one-half? This happened to me too frequently and I was annoyed at how many times I would…

New Food Friday Flash – Trottole

Once a week I get grocery flyers from Meijer, Kroger, Marsh, and Aldi. (Most recently, 1/8/15, a Save-a-Lot grocery store opened near me.) I’ve always avoided Aldi because you need to have a quarter (25¢) handy to use one of their carts. You can’t use credit cards and you have to bag your own groceries and bring your own bags! However, food prices are lower although that is getting harder and…
