Oregano Bagel Bites:
Ingredients:
4 Whole Wheat Bagels
1 lb. Lean Beef (I use Laura's Lean Beef)
1/4 cup Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tbsp of Oregano
8 slices Provolone Cheese (You can use reduced fat, but it is only going to save you about 20 calories a slice and they are a $1 more, so you can make that choice on your own:)
Directions:
Cook meat in pan on medium until fully cooked, drain grease. Add Worcestershire sauce and oregano and let simmer for 2 min. Remove from stove. Place oven on broil. Toast bagels (in a toaster). Place 1/8 of meat on each 1/2 bagel. Top each 1/2 bagel with one slice of Provolone Cheese. Place all on cookie sheet. Place in oven on broil until cheese is fully melted and enjoy!
Makes 4 servings: each 1/2 bagel has 250 Calories, there will be enough for 2 halves for every person
Ingredients:
8 cups bite-size cauliflower florets (about 1 head)
4 cloves garlic, crushed and pealed (I used 4 tsp of minced garlic from a jar:)
1/3 cup nonfat buttermilk
4 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp butter
1/2 tsp salt
ground pepper to taste
chives for garnish
 |
| hand mixer |
Place florets, garlic, and 1/4 cup water in microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 3-5 min. Place the cooked cauliflower in a food processor, blender, hand mixers (or you can do it by hand - but is hard). Add buttermilk, 2 tsp oil, butter, salt and pepper, process until smooth and creamy. Transfer to serving bowl. Drizzle with remaining oil and garnish with chives.
Makes 4 servings: 3/4 cup has 107 calories
Ingredients:
8" Pita (look by the deli)
2 tbsp salsa
3-4oz of precooked chicken breast strips (I like Tyson's in the freezer section)
1/3 cup shredded 2% cheddar cheese
1 tbsp cilantro chopped (look in refrigerated produce section)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place pita on baking sheet, spread salsa. Add grilled chicken, then sprinkle a layer of cheese. Bake for 10-12 min. until cheese is completely melted. Remove and garnish with cilantro. Cut in slices and dig in!
Makes 1 serving: approx. 550 calories - depends on the brands purchased.
Stay tuned for more great recipes throughout the week!!
Just got a call from my sister, she said that her and her husband did the the oregano bagels, but not being Provolone fans, they added 2% Velveeta cheese to the meat before they put it on the bagel. (they also used Sandwich Thins, not bagels to save about 100 Calories a piece!) Thanks, Kristin!
