Pulled Pork/Veggie Egg Rolls

1 Pork Roast, cooked in crock pot with dried onion, water and a beef cube
Once pork is cooked, shred and place it in a bowl.
1 shredded zucchini
1 shredded yellow squash
1/4C chopped red onion
Handful of chopped spinach
Handful of chopped cilantro
3-4T of BBQ sauce, depends on how moist you want mixture.
3-4T of Paul Newman lowfat Sesame Ginger, depends on how moist you want mixture.
Mix all with pork.
Fill eggroll papers. Follow directions on package for folding. I actually like them when double wrapped.
Place on a cooling rack that is on a cookie sheet. Spray with pam spray and cook @375 for about 30 minutes. I would of actually cooked them a little longer than I did tonight.
Serve with sweet and sour sauce and edaname
ENJOY!

Baked Burrito

1 10oz can chicken, drained
1 can minced olives
1 shredded zucchini
1-2 can tomato w/green chilies (I can't remember but start with one. Just want mixture moist)
I had 12 frozen turkey meatballs that were already defrosted and needed to be used. So I crushed them up and added them to mixture.
Mix all together in a bowl
I used a whole wheat wrap because they are the only ones big enough and are truly 1000% whole wheat.
***First ingredient should be whole wheat if looking for 100% whole wheat. If its not, it had white flour***
Roll mixture up in tortilla
Bake @350 for 25 minutes
I added some salsa on top!
ENJOY!

Lemon Lover!

Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.7

I love lemon! I wanted to make something lemon but different. I found this website for a diary free lemon filling...
I used Egg whites and Truvia Sweetener
Something went wrong and it never got thick like the recipe said it would.

I already created a fun little crust. I smashed 1 whole honey graham cracker and placed it in bottom of a pie dish. I then broke up 1.5 (if that, my daughter was eating most of it) frozen Triple Chocolate VitaTop. Mix the graham cracker and VitaTops, pressed them down a bit and just left it.

I decided that I would just experiment with the filling. I poured it over the crust and naturally the crust lifted into the filling since it wasn't thick. I then figured I would place it in fridge for a few hours. I noticed it still wasn't setting so I placed it in freezer. 4 hours later I looked and it was starting to set but it was also turning white. I then had to sample it. I loved it! Tons of lemon flavor, with just enough chocolate. I placed foil over the top and returned it to the freezer. It seems to melt fast, so don't leave it out long.

I will be trying the recipe again, with real sugar and see if that is what happened. But, I must say, I do like what I created on accident as well!
Enjoy!

Perfect Simple Dessert

Super Easy!
Any fruit, in this picture I used...
1/4 of a Mango
2T SF Cool Whip
10 Dark Chocolate pieces (mix half in mixture, and sprinkle the other on top)
Enjoy!

Shrimp Jambalaya

I followed the recipe from Allrecipes.com
http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/shrimp-jambalaya/Detail.aspx
Here is what I changed and added...
1/2 Cup of White Wine
Pinch of Saffron
Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes
1 Turkey Kielbasa, cut into small pieces
Red pepper instead of green
Asparagus
2 cups of Couscous- at the end before adding the shrimp

**I changed the recipe today again, 3/22/11**

1 chicken breast, cut and slightly browned in a pan before putting it in crock pot
2 sprigs of Kale added when Shrimp is added
Did not have celery, used carrots. Did not have any Asparagus so I put in a can of drained green beans.
Enjoy!

Blackberry Cobbler


Followed this recipe from Cooks.com for the Blackberry
http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1737,148179-238201,00.html
Here is what I changed...
1C Splenda
1/2C Organic Pure Cane Sugar (I was just experimenting. I could have used all splenda to make SF).
2T Butter
1-Individual Unsweetened Apple Sauce (the kind you would put your kids lunches)
I used a slotted spatula to scoop out Blackberries. I poured a little of the juice on as well, just not much. I saved some juice in a container for another creation!

Pie dough...
I followed Hodgson Mill Insta-Bake for pie. I had leftover pieces so I just baked it up in another dish and will use it for something else. I didn't want to add too many calories to this Cobbler!
Enjoy!
