Cherry Mousse (Core Plan) Recipe

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Notes:
This is a very easy way to create a fat-free, sugar-free, tasty dessert.

I prefer regular Cherry Jell-O to the Black Cherry flavor, although either may be used.

I have substituted almond extract for the vanilla, and it also tastes delicious!

Servings: 4

Ingredients:
1 small package Sugar-Free Cherry Jell-O
3/4 Cup boiling water
2 packets Splenda sweetener
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 Cup frozen dark sweet cherries, pitted (No Sugar Added) - do not thaw
1 Cup fat-free plain yogurt

Directions:
In blender, dissolve Jell-O and Splenda in boiling water. Add vanillla extract.
Blend on low until completely dissolved.
Dump in frozen cherries, then yogurt.
Blend on high to puree cherries and to whip air into the mixture.
Pour into four serving containers.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer.
Enjoy!

Fake French Toast (1 serving) Recipe

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Notes:
This is a great low carb, sugar-free, diabetic safe recipe.  I’ve had this a while and I got it from another person on this site.  I modified this one by basically using an egg white and imitation vanilla.  I also recalculated the nutrition information to match what I put in this recipe.  It is really pretty good and I was so shocked.  I will be eating this again and again.

Servings: 1

Ingredients:
1 egg white
2 Tblsp. Whole Ricotta Cheese (or you can use cream cheese)
1 tsp. imitation vanilla extract
1 pkt. Splenda
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg

Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Whisk ingredients until well blended. Pour into a heated, greased skillet (or use griddle) and cook. Like pancakes, wait for first side to bubble in middle and then flip and cook other side. Serve with butter or sugar-free syrup.

Crockpot Italian Roast Beef (Core Plan) Recipe

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

Notes:
This is a great meal served right out of the crock along side mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables, but it also works well sliced and served later for sanwhiches, subs and paninis.  You may also fork shred the warm meat for use in burritos.  I consider this one of the most useful “make ahead” dishes, because it is so versatile.

The resulting “au jus gravy” is absolutely delicious!  It makes for great “French Dip” sandwhiches.

Servings: 8

Ingredients:
Olive oil spray, like PAM
2.5 Lb - 3.5 Lb beef Round or Rump roast (must be these very lean cuts to be "Core Plan")
1 packet "Good Seasonings" Zesty (or regular) Italian Dressing Mix (dry powder in pouch, unprepared)
1 can fat-free beef broth (I use only Campbell's original condensed "double concentrated", which is fat-free)
1 large yellow onion, thickly sliced

Optional (count as Flex Points):
Whole wheat tortillas for burrito
Crusty roll for French Dip
Whole grain bread for Panini

Directions:
Spray inside of 3.5 Qt crock with olive oil spray, or line with plastic Crock Pot liner.
Trim any visible fat from beef, then place the roast in the center of the bottom of the crock.
Sprinkle meat evenly with Italian dressing dry powder, to season.
Around and on meat, set thick onion slices (or quarters).
Pour broth against inside wall of crock, so as not to disturb the seasoning on the meat.

Cover and cook on LOW for 6 - 8 hours.

I do not like to overcook beef, so after 6 hours I insert an oven thermoter to determine when it is done
to medium rare.

Remove onions to small dish.

Remove roast to foil, seal loosely to allow it to cool if to be served as sliced beef.

Pour off liquid and refrigerate.

If shredding beef, return warm beef to crock and use 2 forks to shred meat (with or without onion).

1/3 C - 1/2 C of shredded beef = 1 serving

When liquid has cooled, skim off any fat from top. Divide into serving portions and refrigerate or freeze.

Meal Ideas:

Beefy Burrito -
Mix a serving of the shredded meat with a small amount of salsa verde.
Microwave to warm.
Heat a fat-free, low-carb, high-fiber, whole grain tortilla until soft.
Wrap meat in tortilla.
Top with optional toppings: fat-free sour cream, fat-free shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoe
Wrap burrito style and grill on George Foreman style grill until toasted.

Panini:
Pre-heat George Foreman style indoor grill.
Re-heat thin slices of beef in microwave on medium.
Place the beef between two thick slices of whole grain bread,
with or without fat-free cheese.
Spray outside of bread with olive oil spray.
Toast and serve with heated Au Jus Gravy for dipping

Crock Pot Rotisserie Chicken (Core Plan) Recipe

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

Notes:
This is one of my favorite recipes, because it is so easy, it tastes terrific, and I can use the leftovers in so many ways.

The original recipe called for tearing off long sheets of aluminum foil and wadding each into a 3″ “ball”.  This seemed to be a huge waste of aluminum, so I prefer to use less foil and wrap small yellow onions and small red potatoes.  This does not change the flavor of the chicken, and it creates a nice side dish for dinner!

I use an oblong Rival CrockPot, which I line with Reynold’s Crock Pot liners to save on clean up.

The general rule for cooking a whole chicken is to match its weight in pounds to the size of your crockpot in quarts.  Never go OVER the crockpot size in weight of meat.

 For my 4.5 Quart crockpot, I try to find a 4.5 Lb chicken, or as close to it.  If I am using potatoes and onions in the bottom, I buy a 3.5 Lb chicken so as not to overfill the crock and prevent the lid from completely sealing in the heat. 

Servings: 4

Ingredients:
1 whole chicken, preferably a "roasting" chicken (3.0 - 4.5 Lbs, depending upon size of crockpot)
Olive Oil cooking spray, such as PAM
Lawry's Seasoned Salt
Aluminum Foil

OPTIONAL:
2 small whole yellow onions, unsliced (as close in size as possible to potatoes)
4 small whole red potatoes, unpeeled (as close in size as possible to onions)

Directions:
Ensure that chicken is thoroughly thawed, if frozen.

Spray inside of crock with olive oil spray, or line with plastic Crock Pot liner.

Wash and pat dry outside of red potatoes.
Remove outer skin from onions, leaving them whole
Tear off 6 sheets of foil, each enough to completely wrap one potato or onion.
Spray one side of each sheet of foil with olive oil spray.
Tightly wrap each vegetable in one sheet of perpared foil.
Line the bottom of the crock with wrapped vegetables. The chicken will sit on these aluminum balls,
allowing fat and juices to drip without chicken "stewing" in the liquid.

Remove the neck and gizzards from inside of chicken, and cut off tailbone.
Rinse chicken inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels.
Place on paper towels, breast up. Spray outside of chicken with olive oil spray.
Sprinkle evenly with seasoned salt.
Place chicken, BREAST SIDE DOWN, in crock on top of aluminum balls.
Spray back of chicken with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with seasoned salt.

DO NOT ADD ANY WATER OR OTHER LIQUID TO THE CROCKPOT.

Cook on HIGH 4 - 6 hours. 3 Lbs chickens take 4 hours to fully cook.

DO NOT COOK ON LOW!
DO NOT remove lid at any time during cooking.
DO NOT start with a frozen chicken.

When ready, remove all skin from chicken to reduce fat.

VARIATION: "Sesame Chicken"
Follow same process as above, eliminating Lawry's Seasonsed salt.
Instead, pour 1 cup of light soy sauce or 1 cup or light Teriyaki sauce (or 1 cup combination)

Sacred Heart Diet (lose 10 lbs n a wk!) Recipe

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Notes:
This 7-day eating plan can be used as often as you like. If correctly followed, it will clean out your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. After only 7 days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 pounds and possibly 17 pounds, and experience an abundance of energy.

Servings: 1-7

Ingredients:
SOUP:

* 1 or 2 cans of stewed tomatoes
* 3 plus large green onions
* 1 large can of beef broth (no fat)
* 1 pkg. Lipton Soup mix (chicken noodle)
* 1 bunch of celery
* 2 cans green beans
* 2 lbs. Carrots
* 2 Green Peppers

Season with salt, pepper curry, parsley, if desired, or bouillon, hot or Worcestershire sauce. Cut veggies in small to medium pieces. Cover with water. Boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue to cook until veggies are tender.

This soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry during the week. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat, the more you will lose. You may want to fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day.

DRINKS:

* Unsweetened juices
* Tea (also herbal)
* Coffee
* Cranberry juice
* Skim milk
* Water, water, water

Directions:
DAY ONE
Any fruit (except bananas). Cantaloupes and watermelon are lower in calories than most other fruits. Eat only soup and fruit today.

DAY TWO
All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with fresh raw, cooked or canned veggies. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas or corn. Eat veggies along with the soup. At dinnertime tonight reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter. Don't eat any fruits through today.

DAY THREE
Eat all the soup, fruit and veggies you want. Do not have a baked potato. If you have eaten as above for three days and not cheated, you should find that you have lost 5-7 pounds.

DAY FOUR
Bananas and skim milk: Eat at least 3 bananas and drink as much milk as you can today, along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates, as is the milk but on this particular day, your body will need the potassium and carbs. Proteins and calcium to lessen the cravings for sweets.

DAY FIVE
Beef and tomatoes: you may have 10 to 20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes, or as many as 6 tomatoes on this day. Eat the soup at least once today.

DAY SIX
Beef and veggies, eat to your heart's content of the beef and veggies today. You can even have 2-3 steaks if you like with green leafy veggies but no baked potato. Be sure to eat the soup at least once today.

DAY SEVEN
Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and veggies, again, be sure to stuff yourself and eat the soup. You can add cooked veggies to your rice if you wish.

By the end of the 7th day, if you have not cheated on this diet, you should have lost 10 to 17 pounds. If you have lost more than 17 pounds, stay off the diet for two days before resuming the diet again.

This diet is fast. The secret lies within the principle that you will burn more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. This diet does not lend itself to drinking any alcoholic beverages at any time. Because of the fat build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 14 hours before any intake of alcohol.

Due to the variety of digestive systems in individuals, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy than when you began, if you do not cheat. After being on the diet for several days, you will find that your bowel movements have changed. Eat a cup of bran or fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don't need caffeine after the third day.

The basic fat burning soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry during the seven days. Eat as much as you wish. Remember the more you eat, the more you will lose. You can eat broiled, boiled or baked chicken instead of the beef. Absolutely no skin on the chicken. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need the high protein in the beef for the other days.

Continue on the diet as long as you wish and feel the difference both mentally and physically.

DO NOT - DO NOT
No bread, alcohol, carbonated drinks (including diet drinks). Remember, absolutely no fried foods.

DO - DO - DO - DO
Drink plenty - at least 6 to 8 glasses - of water a day, as well as any combination of the following beverages: black coffee, unsweetened fruit drinks, cranberry juice and skim milk.

This diet comes from the Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital that is used for overweight heart patients in order to lose weight rapidly, usually prior to surgery.
