I thought I would start off this morning with a couple of quick, easy and very tasty recipes that I have been using lately. I just make things up as I go along so quantities aren't always perfect and you can tweak it any way you like.
First up is my Vegetarian Flat Bread Taco Pizza!!
I make up the taco meat/bean mixture ahead of time and store in a container in the fridge till I am ready to use it. Since this only takes seconds to prep and just a few minutes to bake it is a very easy meal.
I use "Morning Star Farms" Soy crumbles, 1 can of black beans (rinsed), 1 can fire roasted tomatoes w/ green chiles, 1 pkg low sodium taco seasoning. Just heat it all up together and cook down so it is spreadable. Spread some on a "Flat Out" original bread (these babies are only 90 calories each!!) Top with 1/4 cup of finely shredded colby jack cheese and bake till bubbly and edges are crispy. Top w/ shredded lettuce, extra jalapenos if you like it hot, and a little taco sauce. (you could even have some light sour cream too)
*My tip for sour cream is I put it in a pastry bag with a fine tip and leave it in the fridge in a sealed baggie so them you can get some all over your pizza without using too much.*
Next up is what we had for dinner last night. I found these very yummy (Gluten Free) sausages at our local Walmart. They are called "Bistro Sensations". They are a chicken sausage and come in gourmet flavors. This one was called "Smoked Mozzarella w/ Artichoke and garlic" YUM!!
(the side dish is just onions and mushrooms that have been cooked and caramelized in about 1 tbsp olive oil and then green beans added and sauteed with the onion/mushroom mixture till they are just tender).
1 sausage plus 2 cups of this green beans is 250 calories according to (CalorieCount.com)
So there you have it. Just a couple of the standby recipes. You can cook these things ahead and just reheat them as needed. Makes mealtime so much easier if you have some things prepared ahead. :)
