Recipes

I'd love to do a post with low-calories snacks.  I have a million ideas (if only I ate this way all the time....) :)  but I would LOVE to hear your ideas as well.  Give me some ideas to share with everyone else.  I will post this next week.  You can reply here or email me at tkgregory3@gmail.com.

One thing I would love to do better is eating more veggies.  You and me - right, Rita?? :)  Tonight I made a DELICIOUS stir-fry recipe that I got from Holly back when I visited her in Arizona the first time.  I LOVE it!!  It's easy to make, very filling and gets PLENTY of veggies in my body!

Healthy Fried Rice
1 8.8 package cooked brown rice
1 16 oz pkg mixed frozen vegetables
1 cup frozen peppers and onion stir-fry vegetables
4 tsp canola oil, divided
3 eggs
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
Lime wedges
3 Tbsp stir-fry sauce

Heat 2 tsp canola oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium.  Whisk eggs and add to the skillet.  Cook, stirring occasionally to break up eggs until set.  Remove from pan.  Add remaining 2 tsp oil to the skillet and then increase the heat to medium-high.  Stir in the frozen vegetables; cook for 5 min or until tender.
Add stir-fry sauce and crushed red pepper to the skillet.  Stir in rice and heat through, the mix in the cooked eggs.  Let your kids squeeze on lime juice to give the dish extra flavor.

You can obviously change things according to your own taste - it's very versatile and very "giving" to change!  Can't wait to hear your delicious snack ideas!!!!
