This site’s revamp has been a long time coming.
If you notice at the top right, I’m starting to add links to the categories, such as Main Courses, Desserts, etc. to make things a little easier.
This is a collection of my favorite recipes. Some are from other websites, in which I give full credit to in the posts.
Enjoy!

*This is an attempt to mimic the new Starbucks Chocolate Banana Viviano drink.
1 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder (I use Myoplex, I LOVE it)
1 frozen banana, sliced
1 cup of non-fat milk
2 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
Blend the powders and milk together first, then add the banana and blend. Very good for you!
Around 300 calories, give or take.

Its not exactly like a chicken pot pie, but its healthier and tastes great! This is one of my favorites.
2 or 3 large cooked chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 large can of Veg-all (drained) OR frozen mixed vegetables
2 cans of cream of Celery soup
1 Can of Cream of Chicken Soup
2 cans of Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls
**This makes quite a bit; I do that so there are left overs. You can change it to make it less if you’d like.
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix soups, veggies, and shredded chicken together in a bowl. Then pour into a large casserole dish sprayed w/ nonstick cooking spray.
3. Bake for about 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
4. While the dish is cooking, unroll the crescent rolls. Take the dish out of the over after the first 30 minutes and lay the flat pieces of the rolls to cover the dish.
5. Pleace back int he over for an additional 15-20 minutes or until top is golden brown.
6. Take out of oven and enjoy!

I love these for a snack or a meal.
2 Whole Wheat Tortillas
1/2 cup of Fat-Free Refried Beans
1 oz Shredded cheese
Salsa for dipping
**Optional– you can add peppers, tomatoes, etc. if you like
1. Smear the beans on one tortilla and sprinkle with cheese.
2. Top with the other tortilla and place in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
3. Cook for one minute or two, then flip and repeat.
Best served w/ salsa!

*from WeightWatchen.com
8 oz lean beef
½ cup of fiber one or all bran cereal ground up in food processor (I measure the ½ cup and then grind)
½ cup quick oats
1 egg
Worcestershire sauce
Chopped onion
Garlic powder
Parsley
Non-stick cooking spray
1 can of French onion soup (I used Progresso French Onion)
Place all in ingredients, except the soup, in a bowl and mix well. I use my hands but it is quit messy. Form the mixture into 4 patties, each a little more then 3 oz each. Brown in a large frying pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Once both sides are browned add the can of soup, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce, lower the heat to simmer and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes.
