Moroccan Tomato Soup

Submitted by zeptepe on Mon, 02/25/2013 - 20:46

Cheesy Potatoes An awesome hot soup to come home to at the end of the day and see in the slow cooker. The peanut butter adds protein and gives it a creamy texture. Great with hot bread on the side. It's hot enough for me as it but if you want it hotter, add a bit more cayenne.

I've been looking for a healthy replacement for my world famous "Breakfast Cookie" for a while now and these Banana Oatmeal cups might just be it. In fact they are very similar to my cookies but don't have all the sugar and shortening. And the less refined sugar I eat, the better. So they're easy to make, healthy AND sugar free.

Black Bean Soup

Submitted by zeptepe on Mon, 03/05/2012 - 21:04

Since I've forsaken land animals for a more plant based diet, the humble Black Bean has taken on a greater significance in my life. And what a bean it is! Low in fat as well sodium and cholesterol-free. Not only that, a single serving of black beans provides 118 percent and 84 percent of my daily dietary fiber and protein requirements respectively. And I could go on but I won't, suffice to say they're good for you in many ways.

Quinoa and Black Beans

Submitted by zeptepe on Thu, 02/23/2012 - 16:28

Spinach-Fruit Smoothie

Submitted by zeptepe on Mon, 01/16/2012 - 21:42

Spinach / Fruit Smoothie So my doctor tells me that my cholesterol is way too high. OK, I can accept that. But what was that 2nd sentence? Did you say I need to give up my good friend "Maple Bacon" and up my daily intake of fruits and veggies? Sigh. A quick look at the Canada Food Guide says a person needs 5 to 7 servings a day of fruits and vegetables. 5 to 7 servings!!! Is that even possible? Well I found it is possible but it helps if you start with one of these each morning,..4 servings all in one blast. And don't let the Spinach scare you off, I guarantee all you can taste is banana, strawberry and blueberry. I'm hooked on them and you should be too!

Breakfast Cookies

Submitted by zeptepe on Mon, 01/16/2012 - 20:05

Why are they called Breakfast Cookies when they really should be called Banana Oatmeal Cookies? It started as a joke because I used to boast that these cookies were so healthy that I could eat them for breakfast. Now I don't endorse them as a 'breakfast food' but I have been known to eat the odd one with my morning coffee. And I can't really say that a cookie with shortening and lots of sugar is really healthy but they do have oatmeal, banana, flax seed and sunflower seeds,..and those things are kind of healthy. But with cookies it's all about yumminess and for me this is it.

Shepherd's Pie

Submitted by zeptepe on Fri, 01/13/2012 - 16:54

Shepherds Pie Ahhh. Shepherd's Pie. I'm not sure why but I've always had a thing for Shepherd's Pie. It could be how filing it is or it could just remind me of my childhood. This is the recipe I've been making for awhile now.

Pineapple Tuna Casserole

Submitted by zeptepe on Sat, 01/07/2012 - 16:57

If I ever ask my son what I should make for supper, chances are he will say "Tuna Casserole" which is fine by me. It's incredibly easy to whip up and it makes a great lunch leftover meal the next day. I think the Pineapples are what really makes it taste so good.

Maple Curry Chicken

Submitted by zeptepe on Tue, 01/03/2012 - 20:12

One of my favorite meals,..Maple Curry Chicken. I first made this years ago to impress my future wife. After a room-mate intervention to remind me of the difference between cloves of Garlic and bulbs of Garlic, the meal was a success. Since then it's been one of my staples. I usually make quite a bit at one time so I have lots of left-overs for work and sometimes I freeze some.
