Key Lime Pie

I love Key Lime Pie!  I only eat it in FLORIDA.  I have managed so far to ingest only one single peice.

A New Snack

Whilst looking for portable delectable for the mini fridge and (1) cupboard at the hotel, I came upon this snack @ Publix Grocery.  It's pretty tasty.  For 1/4 cup:
150 calories. 8 fat grams, 40 mg sodium, 140 mg potassium, 18g carbs, 5 grams fiber, 4 grams protein.  I don't usually eat the whole 1/4 cup.
For the rest of our dining experiences we purchased:
chips and salsa and queso
fruit & dip
lunch meat/
Greek yogurt
cheese and crackers
bag salad: Cesar & strawberry with some pre-cooked chicken to put in

Just Getting By

I haven't really been making anything creative this week.  I'm kind of just trying to get by and use up most of the food already in the fridge.  Leaving on Friday.  Now, then we will get in to some REAL creativity.  I think we only have a fridge and microwave.  Going to have to get thinking about what I can do with that.  Salads, Nachos.....
Any ideas?  Write back.

Stir Fry With Sweet & Spicy Tuna

I picked up a pouch of StarKist Sweet & Spicy Tuna.  I've had it in the cupboard a while.  I looked at the back of the packet the other day and saw a recipe that looked worth trying.  So, I am doing just that tonight.

Sassier Stir-Fry

2 pouches Sweet & Spicy Tuna

2 Tbs. toasted sesame oil

2 cups zuchini, cut in 1/2 moons

1 red bell pepper sliced

1 cup matchstick carrots

1 clove garlic; chopped

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 TB. cornstarch

heat oil.  stir in veggies & garlic for 3 to 4 minutes.  Mix soy sauce w/ 1 cup water.  add cornstarch and stir to dissolve.  add to veggies.  cook 1 to 2 minutes; until thickened.  Add tuna - heat through another 1 - 2 minutes.  Serve over rice or similar.

I think I'm going to make some whole wheat muffins or WW blueberry muffins to go with!

Egg White Bites

I saw this recipe in my newest, latest, greatest edition of The Biggest Loser Cookbook.  I decided to try it.  I am eating it right now.  Oh, it is very yummy.  This will be one of my new favorites.
Egg White Bites ~

• saute one cup of veggies of choice in a pan. (spray bottom)
• I used: canned mushrooms, zucchini, carrot, onion, red bell pepper, asparagus
• put equal amounts of cooked veggies in each cup of a muffin pan (sprayed)
• pour egg whites on top of veggies.
• season.  I used my favorite spice: MIRACLE BLEND
• Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each.
• Bake for 10 min. @ 350 degrees

One serving is supposed to be 3 bites.  I don't know if I made them bigger or what, but I can only manage 2.  With a sliced orange.
You are supposed to eat 3 bites, 2 or 3 sausage, 1/2 cup fruit and cup of milk.  Ok, well I can't eat all that for breakfast.  Especially in my meds induced illness.
