Sweet Potato “Egg” Muffins

October 25, 2014 by Bethany And Rachel 10 Comments

Today for breakfast I wasn’t in the normal “sweet-tooth” mood that I usually am in, I wanted something savory in muffin-form! So what better to make than an “egg” muffin, meaning tofu instead of real eggs for all those vegans out there. These did just the trick to quiet my early-morning hunger! You can totally substitute real eggs though, it would be just as tasty! These muffins are very satisfying and filled with lean protein as well as veggies! Perfect for an on-the-go kind of morning if these are made-ahead and stored in the fridge or freezer!

Sweet Potato “Egg” Muffins

1 large sweet potato, baked and peeled
1 12 0z. block of silken tofu
1 tomato, chopped
1 cup spinach
2 Tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
1/4 tsp. paprika
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut sweet potato in fifths. Spray cooking spray in 5 muffin tins. Press each piece of sweet potato into one muffin cup. Press down with a fork until each piece covers the bottom and sides.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until sweet potatoes become browned.
In a food processor, combine tofu, spinach, basil, paprika, salt and pepper. Blend for about 20 seconds, or until mixture is smooth.
stir in chopped tomatoes. Add mixture to sweet potato cups and bake for another 15 minutes.

Heavenly Product Review: Halo Top Ice Cream!

August 10, 2014 by Bethany And Rachel 1 Comment

Who doesn’t love ice cream?? Yeah Thats right every one does! But what some of us don’t love is that is does nothing for our bodies, its all empty calories besides the little bit of calcium hidden in it. Any ways, many of us eat more than a serving, some of us don’t even know what half a cup looks like ( you try to eye ball it, but it is less than you think). Not to fear though, because there is an ice cream you can feel good about eating, and you could eat the whole pint if you wanted too with feeling guilty.

Its called Halo Top Ice Cream and it is as heavenly as it sounds! With only 70-80 calories per serving and 7 grams of protein, its safe to say that this is the perfect ice cream.

Even if you eat the whole container, you are still only eating about 280-320 calories! Its so filling and taste EXACTLY like regular ice cream! So rich and creamy, you will think you are eating there full-fat, unhealthy kind! Try yours today! Click HERE to get yours!

Colorful Papaya Avocado Slaw

July 25, 2014 by Bethany And Rachel 3 Comments

I love a nice refreshing summer salad. One with lots of colorful fruit and a light tangy dressing. I have only tried papaya once and fell in love with its honey-like sweetness at first bite. It pairs well with the tang from the lemon juice and balsamic vinegar. This is the perfect picnic salad, with only a few ingredients and takes only a few minutes to assemble. Make this before summer ends, you will regret it if you don’t!

Colorful Papaya Avocado Slaw

1 10 oz. bag broccoli slaw
1 cup papaya, chopped
1/2 avocado, chopped
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well.
Enjoy!

Pan-Fried Pineapple Fritters

July 16, 2014 by Bethany And Rachel 2 Comments

Everything is better fried. Period. Fried snickers bars, ice cream, Peanut butter cups…. the list goes on and on, and so do our waistlines. Fried anything is extremely unhealthy! All of that greasy oil and crunchy coating only worsens your health! So if you like fried anything (who doesn’t) I have got some great news for you! Pan-fried Pineapple Fritters are my latest(and greatest!) creation! They look like they have been deep-fried, taste like it, smell like it, but they aren’t! They are so good for you, not an ounce of butter, oils, sugar, or trans-fats! These babies taste like they have been freshly made at the county fair! No joke! These fritters have a crispy outside layer, and when you bite into them you get a doughy, sweet juicy, and irresistible taste! Pan-frying the fritters allows you to make something that seems bad for you be healthy! So skip the fried anything at the next state fair and instead make these fritters, you will be impressed, for certain!

Pan-Fried Pineapple Fritters

1 pineapple, cored and cut into rings
1 1/2 cups oat flour
1/4 cup. coconut flour
1 1/2 cups almond milk
1 Tbsp. agave nectar/ honey
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp.cinnamon
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Combine oat flour, coconut flour, baking powder and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix until batter is smooth and blended well.
Spray a skillet with cooking spray and place on medium heat.
Dip pineapple rings into batter and coat well. Place in skillet.
Cook until the one side is brown and then flip to the other side, about 45 seconds each side.
Repeat with remaining pineapple.
Let cool and enjoy with some whipped coconut cream and fresh cherries!
