I found this recipe a couple of weeks ago and I think I have make it at least three times already. It is so easy and it tastes great on a cold night. We love the original version of this recipe but I am always looking for ways to add more vegetables. I like it with avocado but I think it would be good with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt too.

  • 1 ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 – 8.5 oz box corn bread mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3-cup milk
  • 2 oz diced green chile (½ 4 oz cans)

As a water-soluble vitamin, vitamin C is important in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and preventing disease. The body does not produce water-soluble vitamins; they must be obtained through diet. The recommended daily intake of vitamin C recommended by the Institute of Medicine for adult women is 75 milligrams and for adult males 90 milligrams.

Vitamin C has many benefits, such as growth and repair of tissue such as skin, bone, cartilage, muscle, blood vessels and aids in wound healing. Also, it is a highly effective antioxidant helping to block damage caused by free radicals. In addition, vitamin C helps to prevent heart disease by cleaning arteries and enables healthy blood flow. And contributes to mood elevation and plays a critical role in brain function. Moreover, studies have shown that increased consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables have been associated with a reduced risk of most types of cancer. Vitamin C also reduces the severity of cataracts and is helpful in the prevention of gout. Lastly, vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron.

Vitamin C is essential to good health, working foods containing it is easy and tasty. Fruits and vegetables are the richest natural sources of vitamin C.

Fruits containing a high source of vitamin C:

  • Blueberries
  • Cantaloupe
  • Cranberries
  • Guava
  • Kiwi
  • Mango
  • Papaya
  • Pineapple
  • Raspberries
  • Strawberries

Vegetables containing a high source of vitamin C:

  • Bell Peppers
  • Broccoli
  • Brussel Sprouts
  • Cauliflower
  • Kale
  • Spinach
  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Tomatoes

Hello Everyone. Happy What I Ate Wednesday!  I am sharing my meals from last Saturday. Finals are quickly approaching so my weekends are very low key. I hope you enjoy my day. Thank you to Jenn at Peas and Crayons for hosting the WIAW.

This is what I ate:

Breakfast (7:30am)

I started the day with coffee, before heading out for breakfast. We went to Euro Pane in Pasadena and I had my favorite Egg Salad Sandwich. What a treat. 🙂

Lunch (11:45am)

Homemade french onion soup.

PM Snacks (2:00pm)

Beer bread and kale.

 

Dinner (5:30pm)

Taco pie with avocado.

Dessert (6:30pm)

I wanted something sweet badly and I was inspired by Shannon at Healthiful Balances Banana Bread Cookies. At the moment, I am working on cleaning out my over flowing pantry, so I wanted to work with what I had. I sort of experimented with bananas, almond meal, sunflower butter, vanilla, baking soda and chocolate chips. My cookies ended up tasting great but looking terrible because they came out of the oven green. After some research,  I found baking soda or powder react with the chlorophyll in the sunflower butter turning the cookies green. 🙂

Thank you for stopping by. I hope your day was full of healthy meals!

Homemade soup makes a quick, easy, nutritious and a hot filling meal. With a little creativity the possibilities of soup varieties are endless. Making soup can be a good way to use up leftovers or cleaning our your pantry. Best of all, soup is an excellent way to work more vegetable into your diet.

  1. Broth-based soups are low in fat and calories helping with weight control.
  2. Soups create a feeling of fullness helping with appetite control.
  3. Soups that are full of vegetables offer an immune system boost.
  4. Soups warming energy is comforting.
  5. A large pot of soup is very cost-effective. One pot provide several meals and you only need to clean the kitchen once.

This is how I used up the last of my Thanksgiving turkey and I wish I had thought of this combination before. We liked this so much that I think I will need to cook some more turkey.  🙂

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 4 – 7” whole-wheat tortilla
  • 1-cup turkey, shredded
  • 4 slices of provolone cheese (or any type you have)
  • ½ cup cranberry sauce (I used canned)
  • 1 granny smith apple, cored and thinly sliced

Instructions:

  1. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray.
  2. Over medium heat, place a tortilla in the skillet and put 1 slice of cheese and ¼ cup of turkey on one half of the tortilla.
  3. Once cheese has melted, remove from heat.
  4. Place apple slices (about 4 slices) and ¼ of the cranberry sauce on top of the turkey.
  5. Fold in half and serve.
  6. Enjoy!

Hello, Everyone. Happy What I Ate Wednesday!!  I am sharing my meals from Thanksgiving day.  We had a very low-key holiday at my parents house. My mom and sister did most of the cooking. Thank you to Jenn a Peas and Crayons for hosting the WIAW!

This is what I ate:

Breakfast (7:30am)

Since the kitchen was already busy, we ran out to Starbucks to pick-up coffee for everyone. And we brought pastries from one of our favorite bakeries. I had a very tasty pastry that was sort a combination of a sugar donut and a croissant.

AM Snacks (11:00am)

Unpictured – I think we ate so quickly, I completely forgot to take a picture. 🙂

 We snacked on homemade guacamole (my husband’s specialty) and chips.

Dinner (4:00pm)

For Thanksgiving dinner I had turkey with gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, brussels sprouts, asparagus, sweet potatoes and rolls.  There were other dishes I skipped, my mom cooked for about 20 people but we are a small family of 5. 🙂

Dessert (7:00pm)

Pumpkin pie, of course. My sister made the pie and it was very tasty.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope your day was full of healthy meals!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  I think the reason I love Thanksgiving is because it is a relaxed holiday centered on a great meal shared with family and friends. Another reason to love Thanksgiving is the leftover turkey.

After indulging in turkey, you can feel good about its health benefits. Turkey is a good source of protein and essential amino acids. Lean, white turkey meat is low in calories, sodium, cholesterol and saturated fat compared to other meats.

Benefits:

  • Helps to maintain healthy function of thyroid and immune system with selenium.
  • Boosts antioxidant defense system by helping to eliminate cancer-friendly free radicals with selenium.
  • Promotes in the formation of red blood cells with the vitamins B6 and B12.
  • Maintains healthy brain function and normal nerve function with vitamin B6.
  • Helps to break down and digest protein with vitamin B6.
  • Lowers bad cholesterol with vitamin B3.
  • Improves mood and promotes sleep with the amino acid tryptophan.
  • Promotes cell and tissue repair and growth with zinc and selenium.
  • Improves blood flow with arginine.

With a little imagination your leftover turkey will be gone in no time. Turkey can be used in sandwiches, soups, salads, omelets, curries, potpies and casseroles. Naturally low in fat and calories turkey is a healthy addition to your diet year round.
