Category: What I Make
Foil Packet Potatoes
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
6 new potatoes
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/8 teaspoon parsley flakes
unsalted butter, to taste (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put 1 teaspoon of oil and a dash of parsley flakes on the center of two sheets of aluminum foil. Put 3 potatoes on top of the oil and parsley on each sheet. Roll the potatoes around to coat in the oil and parsley. Tightly wrap aluminum foil around the potatoes. Place both foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour or until soft. Open foil packets carefully. Put potatoes on a plate and smash with a fork. Top with butter, if desired. Serve with a good source of protein, such as my recipe for: Meatloaf, Salisbury Steak, or Swiss Steak. Have with a glass of water.
Meatloaf Meatballs
Serves: 6
Ingredients:
1 ½ lbs. lean ground beef (I use 93% lean/7% fat.)
1 egg
3 slices white bread, torn into small pieces (I’ve tried whole grain bread, but white bread works better.)
1 cup whole milk (I’ve tried skim milk, but whole milk works better.)
onion powder, to taste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix ingredients together until well combined. Mixture will be kind of soupy. Use a small cookie dough scoop to scoop the meat mixture into meatballs about the size of golf balls. Place meatballs close together without touching on foil lined cookie sheets. Bake for 30 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and the outsides are crisp. Using tongs, immediately remove the meatballs from the greasy foil lined pans and put them in a serving bowl. Have with a glass of water and a healthy carbohydrate, such as one serving of: whole grains, fruits or vegetables.
Bean and Cheese Burrito
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
1 organic tortilla shell that is not made with an enriched flour
refried beans, to taste
Mexican shredded cheese blend, such as: Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Asadero, and Queso Quesadilla cheese, to taste
Directions:
Put tortilla shell on a microwave-safe plate. Spread one side of tortilla shell with refried beans. Sprinkle cheese blend over refried beans. Microwave for 30 seconds. Fold sides of tortilla shell in and roll up tortilla shell. Have with a glass of water.
Maple Banana Nut Waffle
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
1 gluten free frozen waffle. (The brand I buy has 2g sugar in 1 waffle.)
1 banana, sliced
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons 100% pure maple syrup
Directions:
Toast waffle according to package directions. Top with remaining ingredients. If you do not want nuts on your waffle, eat them separately. Or, have with another source of protein that is low in sugar, such as: a cooked egg or cottage cheese.
