Mexican....yum!

So you probably thought I was going to post some great Mexican dish that is really low fat and great for refeeds right? Wrong. I save my Mexican meals for a free meal, or else I have baked nachos on refeeds :lol: This dessert is one of my kids favorites when we go out to the local Mexican restaurant. However, it is usually soaked in butter and fried. This version is perfect for a refeed (and my kids like it too). I also like making it when having people over because if decorated right, they are really pretty ;) Cinnamon Chips Ingredients 1 whole wheat Pita Spray butter 1 tsp cinnamon ¼ cup splenda (you may not even need all of this) 1 Tbsp Sugar... read more 2 comments

Almost Fat-Free Pumpkin Pie

I made this last week and my family was sold on it :) My husband loves pumpkin pie. In fact, I know he likes to have one pie all to himself at Thanksgiving. :lol: This recipe is not only perfect for re-feeds, its also a great alternative to the traditional pumpkin pie because it tastes 'real' (in my husbands words). When used with my fat-free pie crust, you have a slice for around 130 calories versus 320 calories (give or take). Not that there is much to show in the video, I still decided to video it.

Protein Pumpkin Cookies

It's almost that time of year, and although I am not a big pumpkin fan, everyone else around here seems to be ;) I hope to post a few more pumpkin recipes over the next couple of days. This great thing about this recipe is that it is considered 'on plan' with Erik and Noel's nutrition programs :clap: you may have to modify it based on your own needs/requirements. This recipe will work perfectly if your program calls for 6 egg whites, 40g oats and 35g berries. Ingredients 35 g old fashion oats 3 egg whites 15 g vanilla protein powder (or ½ scoop) ¼ c (60g) canned pumpkin 4 g SF Fat Free Cheesecake pudding mix ½ tsp. baking powder ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice ½ tsp. cinnamon 3... read more 6 comments
