Mashed Cauliflower

Ingredients
1 Head of Cauliflower
1 clove of garlic
Sprinkle of parsley
1 Table Spoon of heart healthy butter
salt and pepper to taste


Directions
Makes 4 1-cup servings
Cut off outside leaves, wash cauliflower and cut into quarters.
Place in a 1-quart sauce pan filled with cold water and boil until well done (should be soft)
Drain and add the butter
Mash like potatoes until light and fluffy
Sprinkle with parsley and salt and pepper to taste



Number of Servings: 4

Soy flour pancakes
* 2 eggs
* 1/4 cup soy flour
1/4 cup yogurt
* 6 tablespoons protein powder
* 1/3
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1 Tbsp olive oil (two can be used for density)

* 1/8 tsp salt (more or less to taste)

Alternative:
Soy Flour Pancakes

1 cup soy flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg or equivalent sub
1 tbs canola oil
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
Cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and sugar sub to taste

Whisk all ingredients together and cook as you would regular pancakes, 1/4 cup of batter at a time.
Makes about 7 3-inch pancakes.




Directions
Heat griddle or pan to medium-high heat.
Use non-stick cooking spray or butter (Smart Balance is my favorite!) before dropping batter onto the pan.

Pour batter onto pan so that the pancakes are about 4" in diameter (smaller is ok too but bigger than this and they will be difficult to flip).

Makes about 6 4" pancakes...about 2 servings.

************REMEMBER***************

Be creative!!

For a salty snack, top with cheese, shredded cheese, cottage cheese, etc.

For a sweeter snack, top with natural nut butters or make a nut butter sandwich. If you like sugar-free stuff try some of that too.

GOOD LUCK!!!! = ]

Damage Control Eating Plan

I have been on a binge rampage lately.
Haven't really gained weight... but I will if I do not get myself out of my self induced mess.
It's a fucking never ending battle with me. Binge. Diet. Workout. Binge. Diet. Workout.
Fuck.

Here is my plan for the next few days. I call it damage control.

Fri:

Breakfast:
Whole wheat english muffin, 2 tablespoons fat free cream cheese, cinnamon, stevia, pineapple

Lunch:
1/2 cup shrimp, 4 cups spinach, seasoning 170 cals

Snack: Carrot sticks, fiber one yogurt 80 cals

Dinner: Lean Cuisine Salisbury Steak meal, large salad 240 cals

Snack: fruit popsicle 80 cals

TC: 860

Sat:

Bfst: Steel Cut Oatmeal, 1/2 apple, 1 tbspn nuts 247 cals

Lunch:Amy's burrito, carrot sticks (60 cals)
360 cals

Snack: yogurt, nuts 150

Dinner: 1/2 cup shrimp, 3 serv veggies, lemon pepper 220

Snack: Popsicle 80 cals

TC: 1057

Sun:

Bfst: English muffin, fiber one yogurt 170 cals

Lunch: Cous Cous with 3 cups veggies
320 cals

Snack: Fiber One Yogurt, 9 carrot sticks 80 cals

Dinner: Shrimp foo yung
Ingredients:
1 cube chicken bouillon
1 tbspn corn starch
1 tbspn oyster sauce
1/2 cup egg beaters
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup frozen veggies-chopped
1/2 tsp. chopped garlic
1/4 cup shrimp-chopped



Directions:
To make your sauce, combine broth, cornstarch, and 2 tsp. soy sauce in a small pot. Mix or whisk until cornstarch has dissolved. Bring to a boil on the stove.

Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 4 minutes, until liquid thickens. Remove pot from heat and cover to keep sauce warm.

In a large bowl, whisk together egg substitute and remaining 1 tsp. soy sauce until slightly fluffy. Set aside.

Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add onion, bean sprouts, mushrooms, and garlic. Stirring occasionally, cook for about 3 minutes, until veggies soften slightly.

Add shrimp to the skillet. Continue to cook and stir until veggies are soft and shrimp are opaque, about 2 minutes.

Transfer contents of the skillet to the bowl with the egg mixture. Add chicken and scallions to the bowl, and stir well.

Remove skillet from heat and re-spray well with nonstick spray. Return to the stove and raise heat to medium-high.

Working in batches, add evenly spaced heaping 1/4 cups of the mixture to the skillet to form small pancakes (about 10 total), using a spatula to help the pancakes take shape. Removing and re-spraying the skillet between batches, cook pancakes until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 - 2 minutes per side.

Serve pancakes smothered in warm sauce. Mmmmm!
