What I Make

Easy Lunch

Serves: 1

Ingredients:
1 natural Angus beef microwaveable hot dog
1 sliced hot dog bun (I use a hot dog bun made with enriched flour, because I have not found one I like made with whole grain. The brand I buy has 3g sugar per bun.)
1 organic Bartlett pear
1 organic string cheese stick

Directions:
Microwave hot dog according to package directions. Place hot dog in a bun. Rinse and slice pear. Take string cheese stick out of the wrapper. Have with a glass of water.

What I Make

Caramel Corn

Serves: 6

Ingredients:
1-3 oz. bag microwavable organic popcorn that pops ten cups of popcorn (The brand I buy has organic popcorn, organic palm oil, and salt.)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Pop popcorn according to package directions. Put popcorn in a large bowl and set aside. Stir the remaining ingredients together in a small saucepan. Keep stirring over medium heat until boiling. Boil, stirring constantly, for one minute. Pour mixture over popcorn and stir to coat. Spread popcorn on wax paper. When cool store one cup servings in ten plastic zipper baggies or airtight containers. Have one serving with a handful of nuts or another good source of protein.

What I Make

Breakfast Wrap

Serves: 1

Ingredients:
2 microwavable sausage links
2 eggs
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup Mexican shredded cheese blend, such as: Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Asadero, and Queso Quesadilla cheese
1-10 inch organic tortilla shell that is not made with an enriched flour

Directions:
Microwave sausage links according to package directions and cut into small pieces. Beat eggs with milk. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add eggs. Cook and stir gently until scrambled eggs are firm. Mix in cheese and sausage pieces. Continue cooking until cheese is melted. Roll up egg mixture in the tortilla like a burrito. Have with a glass of water.

What I Make

French Toast with Strawberries, Blueberries, and Bananas

Serves: 1

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
unsalted butter
2 slices bread not made with an enriched flour, such as multigrain oat (The brand I buy has 2g sugar per slice.)
3 strawberries
handful blueberries
1/2 banana
100% maple syrup, optional

Directions:
Beat first four ingredients together. Butter electric skillet and set to 350 degrees. Dip bread into mixture. Cook and flip bread until cooked through and golden brown on both sides. Rinse strawberries and blueberries. Hull and slice strawberries. Slice banana. Put fruit on top of French toast. Drizzle lightly with maple syrup. (Although the syrup is natural, it has a lot of sugar in it. If you choose to use it, use it sparingly.) The French toast is made with eggs and milk. However, I still recommend having it with a glass of milk or another good source of protein, such as nuts.
