I occasionally eat eggs. These are my favorite recipes...
Emeril would be proud – Eggs!
Add one bunch of fresh spinach cleaned and torn to a skillet with one clove of garlic and the juice of one lemon put a lid on it and let it steam for 3 minutes. Take the lid off and mix the spinach mixture and continue to sauté for another minute or so. Salt and pepper to taste.
In a separate pan, scramble ¼ cup of Egg Beaters with one egg and one tablespoon of Parmesan cheese.
When done, layer the spinach over the egg on a slice of toasted Ezekiel bread. You may add a tiny spoonful of Vegenaise to the toast to kick it up a notch!
Huervos Rancheros¼ cup of Egg Beaters and one egg scrambled with the following:
One tablespoon of 2% cheddar cheese
One tablespoon of chopped spring onion
One tablespoon of chopped tomato
One tablespoon of chopped green pepper
One tablespoon of chopped red pepper
Scramble and serve with salsa – OLE!
Tip = sometimes I pre-sauté the onions and peppers
Emeril would be proud – egg number two!
Saute portabella mushrooms (diced) in 1 teaspoon of fresh minced garlic and one and a half tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.
Steam fresh spinach adding a the juice of a half a lemon.
When these two dishes are finished make an omelette with two egg beaters and two organic eggs layering the spinach and mushrooms as the filling. At the end of cooking, add two tablespoons of 2% mozzarella cheese to the top to melt just before serving. This highly flavored dish is a Sunday morning favorite!
Welcome to our Blog!
I went vegetarian over a year ago because I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. My sister-in-love, Dianne gave me a DVD from the RAVE diet and it changed my mind about food and health. As a result, I went "all in" and completely revolutionized my lifestyle. This blog will be in part about my journey and the results I achieved. It will be about encouraging you to achieve similar or better results. It will be a forum for ideas and recipes. It will be a resource for folks that want to embrace the vegetarian lifestyle, but also want to eliminate refined foods from their diet. I am a very practical girl. I will apply common sense to what I'm doing and will not be fanatical. I did not go vegetarian because of my love for animals although I am an animal lover. I'm not strictly vegetarians as I will eat fish once every two or three months. I just want to be the healthiest that I can be. Period. I invite you to join me on our continuing journey.
AOL Health Article that ran on 1/12/09
Eating less meat is a proven way to lighten up on the scale. Research shows that vegetarians weigh an average 20% less than nonvegetarians. George Washington School of Medicine researchers found that women who followed a vegan diet for 14 weeks lost 2 1/2 times as much weight as those who limited fat intake. There's no need to go cold turkey--just eating less meat can make a difference. In a Brigham Young University study of 284 women, 53% of those who typically averaged about 10 ounces of meat a day were overweight, compared with 16% of those who ate less than 6 ounces. Plant-based foods are naturally low in calories and high in nutrients and satiating fiber, so you feel full without overdoing it, says Gabrielle M. Turner-McGrievy, RD. A cup of lentil soup, a small handful of nuts, or 1/4 cup of chickpeas tossed with whole-wheat pasta and veggies are all good protein-rich swaps. Not ready to nix meat altogether? Start by trying three vegetarian dinners a week for a month to allow your tastebuds to adjust. (Trust us, they will--in another weight loss study of new vegetarians versus low-fat dieters, a third more of the vegetarians had stuck with the diet a year later.) Courtesy of AOL Health
