protein pumpkin pie..."party bites"







PROTEIN PUMPKIN PIE..."PARTY BITES"

this is simply that yummy protein pumpkin pie that i cut into bite size squares. i had to bring something to a party one night that i knew i would eat....you all know how that is....as i stated in the other pumpkin pie post i really do eat this every morning, so i always have a fresh pie in the fridge. so, why not cut it into bite size and "cute it up" with a pecan and little cany-cup?....they went over big time and no one cared there was no crust and had no idea they were healthy. again...i found the recipe here http://habitsofcontradiction.blogspot.com/2008/11/protein-pumpkin-pie.html

PROTEIN PUMPKIN PIE...



this is absolutely my new favorite! it tastes just like reg. pumpkin pie without the crust...1 piece only has 75 cals, but has 10g protein, 5g carb and 1g fat (without the peacans)..i've been eating it for breakfast everyday since i found the recipie. http://habitsofcontradiction.blogspot.com/2008/11/protein-pumpkin-pie.html many many thanks to habits of contradiction. this bakes up great every time...puffs up really pretty, then plops down like a real pumpkin pie. well, it IS a real pumpkin pie, but guilt free. love that !

basa (swai) pan seared with toasted almonds

sunday night dinner....pan seared BASA aka SWAI...with sauteed/toasted almonds and fresh cilantro
...this fish is excelent...very clean, light, white fish. i'd say a cross between orange roughy and talapia. easy to cook, easy to thaw (i believe it's from Vietnam, so usually frozen)
my quick & easy method is...spray olive oil in a non stick pan...high heat...slightly spray filet with butter spray....sear the pretty side first, when you see it is a nice golden brown, flip fish, cover and turn off heat...should be done in just a couple mins.

ORANGE ROUGHY...vera cruz/puttanesca style..ish

i was so bummed...i lost light, the sun went down just as dinner was ready and i missed that yummy sunset glow...

BUT..this turned out great..i made it up as i was prepapring it..sauted french cut onion, sliced garlic and diced peppers in trace olive oil. then added the italian style stewed plum tomatoes...on low 'till heated through, then added the quartered kalamatas and capers...that was it..spicy hot facter was left to each his own...

as for the orange roughy...i kinda cheated and used a quick olive oil spray on the pan and a spritz of butter spray on the fish with some garlic salt...put on high heat as to sear a bit, then flip, cover the pan and turn OFF the heat...that was it...easy to serve...

GRILLED TIGER SHRIMP...w/rosemary skewer

i was amazed at the flavor with the shell left on during grilling. i can't quit discribe it, but it was a PLUS ! i think they definitely need to be split for the BBQ flavor to infuse the meat, and makes for easey peeling...

BBQ salmon with steamed bok choy...personally, i think salmon is best when removed from the fire just before you think it's done...it's so moist that it melts in your mouth...and if you have left-over you can still warm it without having over cooked seconds...
