Breakfast and Dinner

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)

Please note: I copied and pasted the recipe from thegraciouspantry.com's website.

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

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

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 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.
