Liver Pudding & Gouda Cheese Wrap

A Southern Tradition

I was so happy to find one of my favorite southern foods that I had to give up for three years because it was not carried in all parts of North Carolina. Liver pudding  is 96% fat-free...(who knew)....topped with  a slice of Gouda cheese and placed in a wrap it is a quick and easy lunch alternative. Gouda cheese when ate in moderation, because of its high fat and calories content, is still a good food choice because of its nutrient content. Vitamin K2 is responsible for the vibrant health and high resistance to aging and degenerative diseases.

Ingredients

1-8 inch whole-wheat tortilla
1 teaspoon mustard
2 slices of liver pudding
1 slice of Gouda cheese

Place the flat tortilla in a microwave safe plate
Add mustard, liver pudding and cheese
Hit for 1 minute in microwave
Fold the sides over the filling and cut in half

Enjoy with some apple sauce and a piece of dark chocolate.
Your taste buds will thank you!

Herb Garden

       Living in an apartment or townhouse does not mean you have to give up gardening. A brick wall and  some different potting options will allow you to still garden and enjoy fresh herbs.

"Why You Should Be Using Coupons Now",
 This article informs us that by using coupons families are now averaging a saving of $416 per family per year.

"Why You Should Be Using Coupons Now"

During my Super Double Coupons trip to the grocery store yesterday, I saved $42.00 with coupons and another $25.00 using my E-Vic card. I also got some great buys on meat that the butcher had just reduced in price. These savings are very important to my family as we continue to modify our lifestyle changes to incorporate healthier eating habits. Right now our home is filled with the wonderful smell of Crock-Pot Beef Stew which I was able to fix because of all my savings yesterday. Look for this recipe on an upcoming post.

No Beans Chili Dip

 There are so many versions of this dip online.
 I have been making it for so long that my recipe is ingrained in my brain for years to come.
The chips you use are as important as the dip. I used the regular tortilla chips and then keeping with my getting fitter lifestyle changes, I added multigrain  tortilla chips as well. Both styles of chips were a big hit!

1 package chili seasoning mix
1/2 cup water
1 can  diced tomatoes and green chilies
1 can chili sauce, no beans
1 block Velveeta

Add the chili/no beans, and simmer for 5 more minutes
Cut Velveeta into chunks and melt in a microwave safe glass bowl
in the microwave 1 minute at a time while stirring
Once the cheese is fully melted, add the hamburger mixture and stir thoroughly

This dip is good hot or cold!

Mini Peanut Butter And Macadamia Nut Cookies

Who loves cookies besides the "Cookie Monster"? I do! I do! Don't we all? I have found if I bake smaller portions I eat smaller portions. I also have found if I freeze the correct portion sizes, when I take them out to eat, I am more likely not to overeat.

While trying not to gain weight with all the sweets that we are surrounded with during the holidays, I have been on the hunt for foods that I love, and that can be made into smaller portions so that I am not tempted to overindulgence while pacifying my sweet tooth.
These cookies do just that and they are so delicious and yes, you can...um...eat ...just three...
This recipe was adapted from: tasteofhome.com . Peanut Butter Cup Cookies.
Makes 2 dozen .

1 cup butter softened
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar

2 1/4 all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup macadamia nuts/ coarsely chopped

Mozzarella Lasagna

 Mozzarella Lasagna

One way to still get to enjoy the dishes you love while maintaining your weight is too modify the ingredients. Normally, I use a 8 oz. package of shredded cheddar cheese when I make lasagna. I found out that a 8 oz. bag of  mozzarella, made with part skim milk taste just as good. I also substitute my ricotta to a low fat version and my hamburger to at least 90% lean. My husband and I eat this meal for two days and then I freeze the leftovers. Usually I have 4 meals left over and have these once a week. This allows me to pick and choose healthier meals in between a meal that uses beef which is one of the biggest sources of fat in our diet.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Ingredients

1 pound 90% lean hamburger
1 16 ounce can spaghetti sauce/low sodium
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon parley
1 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 pound oven-ready lasagna noodles/ whole wheat
15 ounces low fat ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 pound shredded mozzarella


Directions

In a 10 inch skillet brown the hamburger meat for 10 minutes over medium heat. Meat should not be pink.
Drain almost all the grease, I prefer lasagna to be moist so I keep a tablespoon of grease.
Add the spaghetti sauce and all the spices and simmer for 10 minutes
In a medium size bowl, combine the ricotta and the egg, stir until smooth, set aside
In a pretty 9 by 12 glass baking dish, spread some of the sauce on the bottom of dish
Layer the noodles, and spread the ricotta mixture
Layer more noodles
Add remaining hamburger mixture
Sprinkle the top with the mozzarella
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the cheese has turned to a golden brown in color

Where Are My Pots And Pans!

I just wanted to post a quick update. I am in the process of relocating and will not be able to post more recipes until after the holidays. It has become necessary for me to hang up my apron and to pack my post and pans. Just remember as you enjoy all the goodies that we have at our convenience during the holidays, that modification of your portion sizes is extremely important in maintaining your weight.

Tea for Two and Tea For Me

Tea by the Fire

Tea at Home

Did you know that drinking tea may protect against heart disease, Alzheimer's and many types of cancer? Checkout:  www.doctoroz.com. Tea also has less caffeine than coffee. Plus, drinking tea gives you a chance to use grandma's teapot and cup...ah...the flavor...ah... the memories...

But not any tea will do...oh...no...

Here is a list of some of my personal favorites.

Passionflower Tea---Anxiety
Oolong Tea--Weight Loss--Hello!
White Tea--Weight Loss--
Black Tea--Fresh Breath
Green Tea--Overall Health--Don't we all want to be in tip-top health?

Tea doesn't have to be costly. Many Bargain Outlet's carry tea at great discounts.

Hi, so you came back and you're still not sure you are ready to tackle those extra lbs... Read on... I am here for help and encouragement .

Well let's get started. The first thing to do is a little thing I like to call out with the old and in with the new.... This task may not be that simple if you have a big stockpile of food. I did an inventory of my pantry. When I had decided to do something about my bad eating habits I did a lot of research. I knew carbs were not my friend... No way.... I can look at a piece of bread or donuts and I can feel my clothes getting tighter.

In Europe there is a saying: The whiter the bread, the sooner you're dead. Another saying is, through your lips, on your hips. So I knew I wanted to start eating healthier foods.. What does that mean anyway: Removing all white wheat products in my cabinets and replacing them with whole wheat products, finding a sugar substitute that hasn't been known to kill lab rats, and replacing products in my cabinets that had high fructose, hydrogenated vegetable oil, high sodium, and high sugar content.Yes, this was the hard part....

Also this can be a little costly at first, but in the long run it will pay you back in spades as you make your lifestyle changes to become fitter in your fifties.

Question-2.  Is the tradition of sending Christmas cards still important in our society today? The greeting card industry is still alive and well. Christmas is the most popular seasonal card sold. The only difference from my generation to now is that this generation is more tech savvy and purchase paper greeting cards online.www.paperbecause.com

So, if store bought cookies are what makes this the best Christmas ever...buy them...I wouldn't turn down any cookie offered to me.

Roasted Chicken

 I love my Wolf Gang Puck Heavy Duty Digital Convection Oven that I picked up brand new at a yard sale for 20.00 dollars. I used the rotisserie attachment and made this yummy chicken recipe that I amended from : epicurious.com

Yield: 2 to 4 servings

One 2-3 pound farm-raised chicken
Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 450 F.
Rinse the chicken,then dry it very well with paper towels, inside and out

This helps the chicken to cook evenly, and makes a more beautiful roasted bird

Mix the butter with  pepper, thyme, paprika, and onion powder
Add the Dijon mustard to the butter mixture and stir until smooth
Rub the butter mixture on the bird
Roast for  1hr 30 minutes
