From the Kitchen

I wanted to have a place in my blog where I could list ideas, recipes and pictures of the different foods that I have come up with or found from others. I hope this is able to help those who are reading it as well as keep me on track. Please leave some of your meal ideas in the comment section below.


**Breakfast**
225cal~1/2 cup whole oats w/vanilla in boiling water, sprinkle of cinnamon, 1/2 tsp splenda brown sugar, 1 tsp whole flaxseed, 1/2 tsp raisins 1 tsp natural no stir peanut butter.







100 cal~Egg white (4) omlette (spiced with garlic salt, onion powder, cayanne pepper, 1 tsp dry ranch mix) fresh spinach & 2 tbsp mozzarella cheese 100 cal  **also served for lunch or dinner**


**Snacks**
136 cal~Red gala apple sprinkled with Cinnamon (warm for 15-20 seconds)







95 cal~Wheat Thins flat bread crackers with sun dried tomato Laughing Cow cheese


**Lunch**
254 cal~Turkey wrap, Artisan Flaxseed & Blue Corn Tortilla, 4 slices turkey breast, spinach, spicy mustard & parmesan cheese


**Dinner**
350 cal~Wheat round bun (2) pizza, 1T tomato sauce, spinach, 1T mozzarella cheese, 2 pepperoni's, basil & garlic salt, baked at 450 for 10-15 mins.

Mom's Homemade Pizza









408 cal~5 chicken breasts, 1 packet taco seasoning, cover chicken with water and cook on high for 6 hours and the chicken just shreds apart. 2 whole wheat tortillas, lettuce, 1T ff sour cream, 1T mozzarella cheese, 1T refried beans.

Crockpot Chicken Tacos







287 cal~2 cups shredded chicken (used crockpot method from above seasonings of choice), 1 box whole wheat pasta cooked and drained, 2T diced garlic, 3 cups drained spinach, 1T green chilies, 6T crushed tomatoes (added as needed for moistness), 1 small can tomato sauce, 1/2 cup ff ricotta, mixed all the above together in large bowl. Pour into sprayed 9X13 dish and sprinkle top with 1/4 cup mozzarella & fresh parmesan cheese. Bake at 375 until cheese is browned, about 20 mins.  
**I would wait and add the chicken after you have mixed all the wet ingredients together, otherwise it kind of purees with all the stirring, pasta is added lastly. Also, I made this dish into 6 servings but it would be fine to make it into 8 or maybe even 10 if you wanted to make it stretch. The whole 9X13 dish was 1722 calories.** 

Baked Chicken & Spinach Ziti








**Desert**
178 cal~1 shortcake, 2 T light cool whip, 10 semi-sweet morsels, coffee was an extra 50 calories
