As many of you know I do love Mexican food and it just happens to fit in quite well with my new food plan. Last night I needed something quick and easy to make for dinner – you know what it’s like when you first get home after a trip. You aren’t quite ready to…

Homemade Flax & Sesame Seed Crackers
I would never have thought to make my own crackers but when I saw this recipe it looked to easy to pass up. I like easy. The combination of ground flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds makes for a delicious nutty flavor. They really are crisp and cracker like but without any…
Artichoke Lentil Loaf
There is something comforting about a “meat” loaf or as is the case with this recipe a lentil loaf! This is the first lentil loaf I have made and hubby Tom and I both enjoyed it immensely. Lentils lend it a somewhat meaty texture and it’s hearty as well as filling. The leftovers were just as…
Go Berry Breakfast Bars
Do you like to have easy grab and go breakfast choices? As much as I love to cook, I don’t want to cook first thing in the morning so these healthy bars are the perfect make ahead solution. Not only are they tasty (which is always a priority) but they are filled with antioxidants, oatmeal, nuts, seeds and fruit…
Rip’s Big Bowl Breakfast/My New Bike
Breakfast has always been the most difficult meal of the day for me – I struggle with what to have that will be filling and nutritious but not take a lot of time make. When I read about the Engine 2 food plan and Rip’s Big Bowl for breakfast I knew it was going to…

These veggie burgers should easily fit into a number of food plans, they are full of flavor and so filling. This recipe makes 16 burgers so you can freeze some ahead. They heat up easily in the microwave…

Vegetarian Chili Burgers
I have enjoyed some delicious tasting vegetarian bean burgers over the years. The best one is still etched in my memory bank and was found at Munchies – a little basement restaurant in the mountain town of Ashland, Oregon. I have never found a recipe that could stand up to it’s flavor profile – until…
Morroccan Chickpea Chili
This is more of a soup than a chili but whatever you choose to call it really doesn’t matter because what’s most important is that it tastes good! The fact that you get a large portion and it’s relatively low calorie but super filling is why I have made this twice in the past week….
Black Bean Dip & Green Chili Hummus
If you enjoy healthy Mexican – Southwest cuisine I have two recipes you will want to make. What a bonus that they are easy – using ordinary pantry ingredients and are pretty low calorie so you can easily fit them into your food plan. Beans which are the basis for both recipes are so healthy, filling and taste…
