Day Two Recipes

Day two of the SummaTime Challenge!

Breakfast:

Mini Egg Muffins & Vegi juice cocktail

10 eggs mixed well with a few drops hot sauce and 2 tab water

1 green onion

2 handfuls of baby spinach chopped (If desired)

2 or three chopped green onions I (If desired)

2 pieces of Canadian bacon cubed

2 string cheeses grated

sea salt and black pepper to taste

Line the muffin pan with 24 cupcake papers, 2 in each cup.

Spray with cooking spray.
Or use one of those silicone muffin pans...
 I want one of those pans!

Fill each cup with some Canadian bacon, grated string cheese, spinach (of desired) and green onion (if desired.) OR any other veggie you like... use your imagination... mushrooms, grated zucchini, feta cheese, red or green sauteed peppers.

Then pour in evenly the egg mixture.

Preheat oven to 350 and bake for 20 to 25 minutes till egg is set in the middle.

Serving size is 2, save the rest in the freezer of fridge for another breakfast. Great for my on the go friends!

Here is how I make the Veggi Juice Cocktail:

Lunch:

Turkey Roll Ups...

Spread 1 tablespoons of softened cream cheese on  2 pieces of deli turkey add spinach (Or dark green lettuce) and chopped tomato if desired. Iused spinach in one and red leaf lettuce in the other...
Roll tightly... refrigerate before slicing then slice into bite size pieces, or just eat em whole.

Serving size is 2 whole rolls but have more if you are hungry...
I serve these with a little Dijon Mustard for dipping and some crunchy radishes.
I eat these on the go too...

Dinner:

Bison or Beef Chili

1 lb of ground bison or lean ground beef

1/2 onion chopped

1 large can or 2 small cans of fire roasted diced tomatoes (if you can't find fire roasted use regular)

cumin to taste I use 1 tea.

Chili powder to taste I use 1 teaspoon

My secret ingredient: 1 tea. Unsweetened cocoa powder

1 can of pinto beans of desired.

Brown bison or beef... add onion and cook till tender... 

Add spices and cocoa powder and tomatoes to meat and onion. Add beans... 

Let simmer for at least 1/2 hour, I let it simmer longer... but after its all incorporated its ready to eat. Let it simmer, on low heat, as long as you like stirring often.
Sometimes I add fresh chopped cilantro at the very end if I have some...
You either love it or you don't.

Day One Recipes

Chile Relleno Omelet
&
6 0z Vegetable juice cocktail

One Anaheim, Slim Jim or poblano Chile Or a whole canned chili

2 eggs beaten with 2 Tab. milk

1 ounce chunk of string Cheese

1 ounce of Cheddar/Jack cheese, grated (or skip if you want less calories)

Fire Roast the Chile 

/ Skip this step of using canned whole fire roasted chili /

I let my granddaughter roast this one on a bamboo skewer, but most of the time when I do this I just put the chile right on the burner, or grill. I use tongs to keep it turning and burning. After the skin is burned and popping all over, I put the chile in a brown lunch bag and let it sit for a few minutes.

Then open the bag and gently remove the skin... 

It comes off easily at this point.

Make a slit and slip in the string cheese chunk

Pour the beaten eggs in a non stick skillet sprayed with a little Pam

and place the chile in the middle. Cook over Med. heat.

As soon as the eggs start to set start folding them over the Chile

At this point, lower heat, cover and let cook for about 2 or 3 minutes.

Then add the grated cheese and cover again till cheese is melted.

(Or skip this step for less calories)

LUNCH:

 While you are cooking breakfast...
put 1 to 4 semi frozen chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish...
add water and YOUR favorite seasoning.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, or till done.

Move chicken to a plate and refrigerate till lunch.

I only did one because that is all I had left today... I"ll bake more later... They are so easy to do. I always have some on hand for a quick snack or salad topping.

 One chicken breast is a serving... if cooking for two, 1 chicken breast each.

When cool, shread chicken with two forks...

Add 2 tablespoons of LOW fat (not NON fat) Mayo or Mircle whip
 1 or 2 green onions
1 stalk chopped celery
1 TEA Dill

and shredded chicken to a bowl, stir well, chill.

 Do this the night before if you have to go to work...
Enjoy!

 DINNER:

Garlic Shrimp and a BIG salad!
Serving size is up to you... just don't pig out on shrimp.
Clean shrimp well... place on paper towels to dry.
cut up garlic, mince or chop or use already chopped in a jar.
In a shallow Skillet put 1/4 cup of water and sautee shrimp till pink and opaque. About 3 to 4 minutes.
At the very last minute... add 1 TABLESPOON of butter (yes I said butter) and the garlic and cook till garlic is tender and the butter has "finished" the shrimp.
"Finished" means the shrimp will look amazing...
You'll know!
(Do not cook the shrimp any longer than 5 minutes! Mine are lucky to get 4 minutes)

Serve with a big green salad with your choice of 2 tablespoons dressing. Homemade or store bought.

Choose from the meal plan menu for snacks today...

Enjoy! See you tomorrow!
