This shake tastes great and keeps me full for hours!  You can make it anytime, for a meal or snack; I have made it for breakfast several times and that’s when I like to have it! Continue reading “Peanut Butter & Banana Shake”

I make up a big pot of this for the whole family and use it for lunch, a soup, a side dish or base for topping to jazz up steamed vegetables, fish, canned tuna, chicken or other low cal food.  You can also put it through a blender, adding stock or water as required and make a soup. It is super simple, is very low calorie and sometimes I eat it on its own because it is so tasty. It is not expensive, and you can vary the ingredients depending on your preferences, what is in season, what you have on hand and cost.  You can also make up smaller batches or larger ones and freeze it.  I also take some of the thickest mixture, add plenty of chili, and use it as a salsa or dip for carrot and celery sticks.  It is a great low-cal alternative when you want a snack.  Per serving it is very inexpensive. I know we have some cheaper vegetables in the UK (canned tomatoes are often less than 25p (50c) per can for supermarkets’ own brands, and our market stalls sell fruit and vegetables cheaply, but in the US, Costco type stores and Farmers’ Markets are good alternatives.Depending on what you add, it works out about 60-100 calories per cup serving.   Continue reading “Tomato Fill-Me-Up – Bulk Multi-Purpose Recipe for main dish, side dish, snacks & soup (approx 60-100 cals per serving)”

This is a really good tofu dish that I created. Just keep in mind, these fritters seem small but they are very filling! I was content after 1 or 2.

A package of tofu contains much more than what you will need to this unless you have a really big family. I suggest only using half of the block of tofu and saving the rest for something else. Continue reading “Tofu fritter burgers”
