PROTEIN PUDDING...
i finally came up with a recipe that works great, taste and macros are "spot on". you'll need...1 box sug.free-fat free JELLO instant pudding mix...2 scoops protein powder (a flavor to go with the mix)...1 packet plain geletin...and 2 cups non-fat milk (i substituted 1 can hi-pro, lo-carb pre-made protein drink for one of the cups milk)...1/2c water to stretch quantity...now...mix the geletin pkt with 1/2 c. cold milk and 1/2c water...then nuke it so that the geletin will disolve...let this cool...then...in a blender (i use a hand blender)...blend all ingredients...adding in everything slowly...blend reeeeally well, you want to airate to make it light...pour into individual 4-5 oz containers...should make 6 servings
macros are approx(6 serv)...100 cals, 15 pro, 8 carb, 0 fat..........works for me







simple lunch...roasted DE-skinned chx leg, 1/2c c.chz and 6oz crunchy-pop in your mouth-seedless grapes....and my fav...Tapatio

protein pancakes



PROTEIN PANCAKES....
mini stack of protein pancakes, fresh strawberries, home made yogurt and sugarfree maple syrup

my recipe is pretty much the basic...if you make about 6 cakes from the recipe..each cake should be about 90 cals...14 pro...6 carb...1 fat...i make the batch and keep them in the fridge...or even the freezer...sometimes i add pumpkin or whatever...but this is a good recipe to fool around with
protein pancakes...
1/2c cott. chz,
6 egg whites,
1/4c (or a little less...) yogurt-i use vanilla,
1/2c oatmeal...(1st blend into oat-flour, then remove from blender),
2 scoops vanilla protein powder,
1 tsp baking powder,
1 tsp vanilla, 2 pkts splenda,
approx 1 tsp cinnimon or pumpkin spice...
blend all the wet ingred.....then slowly add the dry...i mix it 'till you can't see the c.chz bits anymore...i let it sit for about 15min...then cook 'em up....don't over-cook...i just push on it to see if it's fluffy, then remove....the longer they are cooked the tougher they can get....







yummmm...Trader Joe's apple cranberry fiber muffin with 5 whites & 1 yolk...if you have a TJ's near you and you like to get your fiber...get these !






blueberries....i just think i'm addicted to them....

green eggs and ham ?...well, does parsley count as the green ?

grilled cauliflower....

the filets were done, sitting at rest.....the grill vas HOT !...i had aldente steamed cauli sittin' there, so i sliced 'em and sizzled them on the grill for a sec (or two...) i drizzled a trace of soy on (while searing) and that was it...turned out really good...i'll try it again, but next time with a little thought behind it.

they look something out of the deep sea....

soy glazed sugar snap peas.....

the snap peas are so fresh and crisp right now..will they go out of season soon? what will i do? my fav way to cook them is....in a skillet, on high with a bit of spray olive oil add the peas. drizzle a bit of sesame oil on peas and stir. sprinkle garlic salt and fresh ground pepper. after things get hot again, drizzle with soy. this will quckly turn into a glaze. stir that a bit 'till done to likeness. i prefer them VERY cruchy, so i remove them pretty quick. i remove them from the hot skillet because they will continue to cook. the idea would be to keep the SNAP to the SNAP PEA!

ahh...brussel sprouts and haricot verte...ya either love 'em or ya hate 'em...but man....if your a newbie, stay out of the kitchen while they're cooking. my suggestion is have someone else do the job....
ok...now THIS was g o o d !....seared soy cod with all these fresh veggies....the brussels were perfect and the baby squash almost too cute to eat....but i did !

so this morn, like every other morning, i had my usual......"homemade"non-fat yogurt, 1/2c. Fiber-One cereal, 3oz blueberries, 3oz nectarine drizzled with sugar free maple syrup..it's so deelish and filling. i'm sure i'll get sick of it at some point, either that or the blueberries will just get toooo dang ex$pensive!...oh, and i always have 5 egg whites as well...sounds like a huge breakfast, but it's not......
i would go on to tell you how to make yogurt, but the best thing to do is google "homemade non fat yogurt" and you'll find a few easy instructions that will fit your need...one secrect extra thing i do is...add a packet of plain geletin to the milk as you are heating it...i do this to make it just a tad thicker, and it still stays creamy....



also, i have yet to invest in a yogurt maker...i know by the time i finally get one, i'll probably be done with the whole yogurt obsession....i use the oven to incubate...it takes about 8-10 hrs.......one more tidbit of advice is to really pay attention to your temperatures....

......you don't want to "kill your kultures!"...

Sesame Soy Seared Talapia

tonight was sesame-soy seared talapia.....always comes out perfekt. i get the talapia from costco. it's individually flash frozen-wrapped, so you can do just one at a time. lightly brush fish with sesame oil. sprinkle with a touch of soy use your own judgment, but don't soak it...season with garlic salt and fresh ground pepper. let it sit for 5-10 min....i use a non-stick pan, so 'lightly' spray oil the pan and get it really hot....don't burn the oil...sear one side of the fillet...watch it and when you think that side is done....flip it and turn off heat...cover pan and get your other stuff ready for plating...by the time you're ready the fish will be done...enjoy oh yeah....don't forget to sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds...
