Ok people it's time for some "clean eating" recipes! :)
I got this Spicy Egg recipe from the bodyforlife.com website. There are tons of recipes that I have added to my recipe box. (BTW I'm in the process of making a new one... should be pretty cute! I'll post pictures when it's done :]).
This recipe is delicious, please try it.
.::Ingredients are::.
- 4 eggs, 2 egg whites
- 1 Tablespoon Fat-Free Plain (or Greek) yogurt
- 1/4 Cup Skim Milk (I use 1% because I have this thing against Skim)
- 1 Teaspoon Bottled, Minced Garlic (this is my BFF)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper (I used a fresh Red Pepper)
- 1/4 Cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon Pepper Ground
- 2 Tablespoons of low-fat Shredded Parmesan Cheese
So what you'll do is whisk everything BUT the Parmesan Cheese together and scramble up in a pan (don't forget to spray some cooking spray otherwise you'll have a mess on your hands). Then when it's cooked you sprinkle some of the Parmesan Cheese and voila! healthy meal :)
Toast and an Orange is a good pair to this meal :)
(Bran Bread--Harper's Homemade is delicious and healthy enough for you)

Clean Eating Enchiladas
(makes 36)
.:: Ingredients are::.
..:::Enchilada Sauce:::...
4 tbsp. olive oil
4 tbsp. whole wheat pastry flour
8 tbsp. chili powder
2 (15 oz.) can clean tomato sauce
4 cups water
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
4 tbsp. whole wheat pastry flour
8 tbsp. chili powder
2 (15 oz.) can clean tomato sauce
4 cups water
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
The sauce will thicken as it cooks :)
Enchilada Ingredients
36 clean tortillas (got mine at Sunflower Market)
5-6 large, boneless, skinless chicken breasts, baked (I just put in a pan on the stove)
3 (15 oz) cans clean refried beans (I used Kidney beans--The clean refried beans recipe is here)
1 batch enchilada sauce
5-6 large, boneless, skinless chicken breasts, baked (I just put in a pan on the stove)
3 (15 oz) cans clean refried beans (I used Kidney beans--The clean refried beans recipe is here)
1 batch enchilada sauce
SAUCE DIRECTIONS
Step 1 – Put oil, flour and chili powder in a medium to large stock pot and warm. You should have a nice paste-like substance when everything is mixed. Cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute.
Step 2 – Add tomato sauce and water to the pot and stir.
Step 3 – Add in the cumin, garlic powder and onion powder and stir constantly for about 5 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly.
Step 4 – Set aside.
ENCHILADA DIRECTIONS
Prep:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Pre-bake the chicken (I did not use any spices at all).
Shred the chicken using two forks.
Mist a large casserole dish with olive oil (I cut the recipe in half and squished it all into 1 casserole dish.)
Step 8 – Add any toppings you’d like. Some ideas for toppings are:
Step 1 – Empty the beans out into a bowl for easy access.
Step 2 – Warm your tortillas in the microwave by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwave for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until soft and pliable. If you do not have a microwave, you will have to warm the tortillas on your stove top, one at a time as you work.
Step 3 – Spoon and spread about 1 tbsp (give or take) of beans on to a warmed tortilla.
Step 4 – Place the same amount of shredded chicken in the center of the tortilla and roll up (like a burrito without the ends tucked in).
Step 5 – Place, end-of-wrap side down, in a your casserole dish and repeat until the dish is full.
Step 6 – Divide the sauce between your dishes evenly.
Step 7 – Place in oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes. It’s done baking when the sauce bubbles.
Step 8 – Add any toppings you’d like. Some ideas for toppings are:
Shredded cheese (usually cheddar--I used the Mexican Blend)
Low fat sour cream
Shredded lettuce
Guacamole
Tomatoes
Onions
Step 9 – Allow to cool (the sauce will be VERY hot!), and serve.
Let me know if you make these and if you enjoyed them. I did add a little bit of rice to the enchiladas to help make them a little bit more hearty. You'd have to use the healthy rice.
