Crispy Baked Chili Squash Fries | Food Doodles. Apparently I’ve been hoarding recipes. I honestly thought I had nothing to post and I just checked my “to be posted” file on my computer and found a ton of pictures waiting for me to sift through. So here I am. I also didn’t just check it, as it’s been a couple hours of sorting, editing and organizing and nap time is almost over now, so I’ll get right to it!

Posted on | June 12, 2011 | No Comments Healthy is usually not a word I associate with ice cream. But this has to be the healthiest ice cream I have ever eaten, a whole bunch of fruit mixed with yogurt and a little bit of honey. And it tastes so fresh and fruity. The strawberries and the pineapple create a wonderful flavour. Simply delicious and healthy. Ingredients 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks1 cup fresh strawberries1 1/2 cup non-fat plain yogurthoney, to taste Directions In a food processor or blender, puree the pineapple and the strawberries.

Guten Appetit! Comments. Recipe: low-cal peach frozen yogurt. It’s still felt like summer this week in Manhattan, so I’m posting one last warm-weather recipe before admitting it’s really fall. I’ve been running around like crazy, so I actually made this a while ago — I’m constantly looking for dessert recipes that don’t have a lot of added sugar or fat, because let’s face it, when I make a whole batch of cookies or a cake for just me and Chad, that’s not really going to turn out well. So I decided to go the very low-cal route for this fro yo, and it turned out really well! Homemade ice creams are definitely better the first day after making them — although they won’t spoil for a quite while if properly frozen, it’s really difficult to get the right temperature or consistency once they’ve frozen solid. When you’re not adding a lot of sugar or fat, you’re not doing much to lower the freezing point of the yogurt, so eat it quickly!
That shouldn’t be a problem — especially when we’re talking about a recipe that’s easy, healthy and totally delicious. Kung Pao Chicken (or Tofu) December 8, 2011 at 9:13 pm I have two rooms left to unpack in our little house; I am making progress :) I’ve made it a point to go through one room a day to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Today I tackled the office, but I didn’t get finished — instead, I’ve spent the past day playing “handy-woman” while my better half is still traveling. Chris bought us two desks and a matching printer shelf but they have a zillions parts that require assembly…I now know why these were on sale!
Four hours later, along with a broken fingernail and a large cut on my hand — at least I have something to show for it! One desk down, two pieces of furniture to go…. I worked up an appetite with all my “hard labor” and was craving something warm and comforting to fill my belly. I decided on Asian comfort food inspired by Clean Eating Comfort Classics – Kung Pao Chicken. This dish pulls together quickly in about 30 minutes from start to finish, which makes it perfect for a weeknight meal. Kung Pao Chicken or Tofu 1. Rustic Tuscan Vegetable Soup | Simply Love Food. It’s finally “winter” here in the desert. And after a brutally hot summer I am READY for the cold. We just had a crazy winter storm that brought lots of rain & snow up north and even sleet here in Phoenix! This crazy weather made me crave a nice hot bowl of soup…I didn’t want a bowl of brothy soup, but one that was rather hearty, yet filling AND healthy.
This Tuscan style vegetable soup does not disappoint. It is a very rustic soup and is LOADED with fresh veggies and if you don’t have fresh on hand use canned or frozen. It is very satisfying and your waistband will thank you. Directions In a small bowl mash half of the beans with a masher or the back of a spoon, and set aside. Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the broth and tomatoes with the juice and bring to a boil.
Serve topped with Parmesan, if desired. Cooking with Jax: Kale Chips. I've always wanted to try kale chips, so when I saw bunches for sale at my local farmers market, I jumped at the chance to try it. I wasn't really sure what to expect. Generally when any type of leafy vegetable gets warm, it wilts. I was pleasantly surprised when the kale did in fact crisp up in the oven almost immediately. While these don't hold a candle to starch based chips, they were a good snack to fulfill my craving for something crunchy/salty. Ingredients - 1 bunch kale - 1 tsp olive oil* - sprinkle of course salt * the olive oil amount depends entirely on how big your bunch of kale is. Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake in pre-heated oven for approximately 10-15 minutes until kale is crispy and edges are slightly brown.
