Sooooo I had some fun in the kitchen today cooking up some healthy versions of my favorite dishes! I love cheese and I love eggs but dang, y'all know those calories add up! So today at the store I picked up some Eggbeaters and fat-free cheese and thought I would give it a go. Everything turned out pretty good! I am having some seasonal allergy issues so my sense of taste is slightly off, but I think you'll enjoy it! On a calorie note, today has gone great. I had Malt-O-meal, 100 calories, the breakfast burrito you see here, 240 calories, two glasses of iced tea, 90 calories, two bowls of peaches and cream oatmeal, 260 calories, one quesadilla, 200 calories, leaving me with 200 calories left for the day. I am thinking more oatmeal... Anyways, here are the recepies for today. Note: I am going to omit the ground turkey because I could barely taste it and it added 50 calories to the mix so I say to heck with it, lol.

Garden Breakfast Burritos
Yeilds one burrito 205 Calories

Ingredients:
--Small Tortilla (110 cal)
--Lettuce and 1 tbsp onions (10 cal)
--1/4 cup of Egg Beaters (30 cal)
--1/4 cup of fat free shredded chedder cheese (45 cal)
--2 Tbsp of Salsa (10 cal)
--Salt, Pepper, and Garlic

Layer ingredients on top of the tortilla as follows: Tortilla, lettuce, and cheese. Set aside. Next mix egg, onions, and seasonings, spray pan for a second with Pam, then scramble eggs until done. This takes like maybe less than a min if the pan is good and hot, lol. Once the eggs are cooked lay them on the cheese then top with salsa. It is important to spread them out evenly because at this point you roll it all up into a burrito, and cut in half. Yay! You might need more salt but like I said, I kind of can't breath right now so it may taste different to non-allergy sufferers, lol.







Healthy Quesadillas
Yeilds 1 Quesadilla (170 cal)

Ingredients
--Small Tortilla (110 cal)
--1 tbsp onions (5 cal)
--1/4 cup of fat free shredded chedder cheese (45 cal)
--2 Tbsp of Salsa (10 cal)
--Salt, Pepper, and Garlic

On quesadilla, place cheese, onions and spices, and fold over. Spray pan with Pam and grill on both sides until crispy brown! :)

Hope everyone finds these as yummy as I do and if not, I'm sure you can put your own twist on it. Well folks, I've got to get ready for tomorrow and get some sleep, but I shall be back soon with more healty (and random) news and tidbits! :D
