Stir Fry Veggies

Sorry to miss last week! I'm working on a new blog project that I'll post shortly (or post about it's failure). :)

Ingredients:
1 can of sliced water chestnuts
2 sliced green bell peppers
1/2 can of La Choy mung bean sprouts (found in the Asian section of Wal-Mart)
2 medium sliced onions
Pam cooking spray (your choice of oil, but I used the original)
1/2 to 1 tsp of gluten free soy sauce (I like La Choy's)
Salt to taste

Directions:
Spray pan with Pam and cook onions and bell peppers on medium high heat. Might have to cover the pan temporarily to cook quicker. Once cooked, add bean sprouts, water chestnuts, soy sauce, and salt. Cook for about 10 minutes more. Easy peasy!

So the 400 calories per meal diet wasn't doing much for my weight. I stalled at about 132.  And my goal is 128. Then I got annoyed and started snacking again. So I'm trying out 350 calories per meal. A sample lunch is above. Since I've started the new diet I'm back down to the stalled weight. We'll see what happens. In the mean time, enjoy a pic of a snow day with the dogs.

Turkey Pasta Cassarole Heaven!

So I was looking at a couple of recipes online. There was an article on MSN about easy meals to freeze and eat later. Well most of them are gluten-filled and cheesy, but they sparked a recipe idea of my own. So I went home and got to cooking. Oh man is it good!

Ingredients:
1 pound low fat ground turkey
1 box of quinoa Pagoda style noodles
1 onion
1 package of frozen chopped spinach
1 can of diced tomatoes (no salt added)
1 package of cream cheese style goat cheese
salt
onion powder
garlic powder

Make the noodles according to package instructions. Cook spinach and onion together and drain the water. Cook turkey in microwave with salt, onion powder, and garlic powder to taste (stronger is better). Add noodles, spinach and onion, cheese, tomatoes and turkey together and mix well. Place in a greased pan and cook at 375 for 30 minutes or until the top noodles turn slightly golden. Have as the main meal or add a veggie side like I did above (that orange stuff is baked butternut squash). I love cheese!
