Check out these recipes from Mother Love. Good Tasting and Good For you.
Breakfast This is a must have meal to jump-start your body and your day. Ever notice when people say, “ I am not a morning person” They don’t eat breakfast! Be nice, eat breakfast and trip them all out with your positive attitude!
YOU are up and ready to take on the Day!
Go to the kitchen and get out the ingredients to whip up with ease… |
| Ups with Fresh Fruit | You’ll need:
Enova® oil
Turkey bacon
Egg substitute, enough for how ever many you’re feeding
Green Onions, a big pinch
Diced Tomatoes
Mushrooms
Mrs. Dash®
Crushed Garlic clove, fresh is always best
Wheat Tortilla wrap or wheat Pita bread
Fresh fruit, berries or cantaloupe… you choose | Cook bacon crisp. I suggest you put it on a griddle with a little Enova® oil and cook it until it’s crispy, drain on paper towel and crush into bits, not powder.
Take a little more Enova® oil to coat the bottom and sides of the pan, heat on medium, add green onions, mushrooms, Mrs. Dash®, Crushed Garlic clove and sauté, when you smell the aromas, add the egg substitute, scramble and add diced tomatoes, remove from heat and roll up in a warm tortilla or stuff in a pita pocket, add some sliced tomatoes with black pepper now… sit down and enjoy! I don’t care how much you make, only put enough on your plate to fit on a small salad plate and use the big plate as a charger plate. (That’s where you put the little plate on top of the bigger plate. When you eat neat, you won’t get the big plate messy! LOL)
Have a Snack about 3 hours after breakfast… a nice chilled juicy sweet orange
|
Stop tripping; this is all you need to eat now! |
| | You’ll need:
1 can of water packed tuna, the little one
Old Bay Spice®
Hot Hungarian Paprika®
Granulated Garlic
Mrs. Dash®
Black Pepper
Miracle Whip Lite®
Vlasic Kosher Dill Spears®, diced
Crisp Red Lettuce leaf
3 Sliced Tomatoes with black pepper
8 oz cooled water | Open a can of water packed tuna drain a little (you want some moisture in your tuna)
Add the rest of the ingredients, toss well, place sliced tomatoes on top of your salad and serve chilled on a crisp red lettuce leaf, sit down, eat and enjoy! Wait a while (at least 20 minutes) then drink the water after your meal meets your digestive system. Have an Apple Today… a Gala, a Macintosh, a Granny Smith, Somebody’ Apple |
The Dinner Menu |

Simmer until beans are tender and juicy.
Season fish and make ready for grilling. I use indoors the George Forman Lean Mean Grilling Machine® (because it works so well on grilling) heat that baby up to 400 degrees, while it’s getting hot, pat dry your fish, dredge your fish in melted ”I can’t Believe It’s Not Butter® coat well with spices and grill for 6-8 minutes. While that’s working on the G Foreman, steam the fresh spinach until it’s a bright green, remove from heat so its does not get over cooked. Now for the pretty part…
Place the steamed spinach first on a hot plate, add the white beans and top it with that moist grilled flavor kissed Tilapia and you are in for some good eating! I told you this would be good…Try it! The let me know how it turned out. |

Layer with 1c. veggies, make sure you drain them of any liquid (spinach, peppers, artichoke... brocolli will work, don't chop it too big or to small) Then add another layer of cheese, topped with the rest of your batter.
