This strawberry apple strudel is amazing! This was originally a high carb re-feed day dessert that got thrown together because I was craving something fruity and pie/crisp-like and this hit the spot for sure. I have since been altered to be more everyday macro fitting because this recipe is too good to have to save for re-feed days. It has a soft and spongy muffin-like bottom layer, fruit filled middle and crisp, chewy top layer. I’m sure if you wanted to you could change up the layers to make it more like a true crisp. It is a huge portion size that can be consumed in one sitting or can be made into smaller portions. It has no added sugar, a hefty protein content and very low fat, allowing it to be consumed guilt free!
These oat puffs are amazing!! They are made with a few simple ingredients, can be flavored a variety of ways, has amazing macros and is a huge portion size. It is by far one of my favorite breakfast concoctions I have made to far. They are light, airy and fluffy courtesy of whipped egg whites and baking powder. At the same time they are filling and have enough sustenance to feel like you are eating something thanks to the oats. The only downside to these is that it takes a little bit for them to cook. I make them the night before and then reheat them in the morning.
For those of you who don’t know what pimento cheese is, its spreadable cheese but better. The closest thing to pimento cheese in New England is sharp cheddar pub cheese. Pimento Cheese has amazing flavor and tastes great with or on pretty much anything. There is a reason why it’s a southern delicacy. While the original stuff is high in fat and carbs, this modified version is low carb, moderate fat and high protein. The macros aren’t bad for it either, with less than 50 calories per tablespoon, though I would recommend using some moderation with it. It’s amazing on crackers, with veggies or used as a spread for sandwiches and wraps! This recipe is also simplified from the original stuff as well, but anyone wouldn’t be able to tell the difference!
Who doesn’t love cookie dough? This recipe has the exact creamy consistency as the real thing but without the butter and sugar! This recipe uses chickpeas as a base for the cookie dough like many other healthy cookie dough recipes, but it has a lower fat content than many other recipes and also has more protein than many as well.
This dough can be eaten raw (the best way) or can be baked, depending on your preference... Sunday Morning breakfast called for something other than the usual oats and eggs and a cinnamon bun sounded amazing, so I decided to try modifying one of my usual pancake recipes into a cinnamon bun flavored one that would be more of a doughy consistency. I ended up combining my usual pancake recipe and a recipe for apple cider doughnuts, and it turned out wonderful. They aren’t as fluffy as usual pancakes but they have a consistency closer to an actual cinnamon bun, which for me was a win. I cooked mine on a griddle but I’m sure you could also put this in a mini loaf pan and bake it as well (will be trying next time for sure).
Sometimes I will make these the night before and let them “cold cook” overnight, or if I have time I will make them in the morning, or as soon as I get home from the gym. Regardless they always turn out amazing!
Target and Hannaford carry it or it can be bought online. Its pretty pricy at about six bucks a box but if you are a baker like me it's nice to have on hand.
This meal was thrown together on a whim using up leftovers in my fridge one evening. It was the first time I’ve actually made something like this in a while, but I’m glad I did and it turned out surprisingly well. I happen to have pizza cheese blend and pizza sauce in my fridge but any easy melting cheese and tomato based sauce will work well, it will just adjust the macros a bit. You could also have any other substitutes for the roasted sweet potatoes as well. I can imagine it would tasty on whole wheat pasta, or if you are going lower carb any other roasted veggies would be good with it as well. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover chicken! If you like your chicken super saucy I would recommend doubling the ingredients for the sauce. I did my sweet potatoes as chips this time around but you could cut them up however you would like.
I also included a recipe for my new favorite dipping sauce! I have yet to be able to find something that I enjoy dipping my sweet potato fries in until I found this recipe Sweet Potato Chicken Burgers with Onion, Apple and Cheddar Chutney (And Cucumber Tomato Salad side)5/16/2017 This recipe is one of my go-tos for leftover chicken and baked sweet potato. These burgers are only made with two ingredients! They make up quick, and can go with just about other sides or dressings. They are super versatile and easy to adjust depending on macros or what I have in my fridge or have a taste for. It's also super easy to add other ingredients to the chutney or the burgers.
For the onion, apple and cheddar chutney, the cheddar is optional. I have also made this chutney with dried cranberries and it's to die for but is pretty high in carbs. Like always ingredient amounts can be adjusted as needed. This whole recipe, including the cucumber tomato salad is just over 300 calories! |
