Chocolate banana quinoa hot cereal Simply Filling +0sp

Chocolate banana quinoa hot cereal Simply Filling + 0sp

1/4c uncooked quinoa
1/2c skim milk
1 cup water
1/4c egg whites or 2 egg whites
sweetener to taste
banana chopped leave a few to put on the top
2 tsp unsweetened cocoa
3g hemp hearts 0sp  Optional
2g unsweetened cocao nibs 0sp Optional

Next time I'll cook it in my electric pressure cooker which would be quicker and stir in the egg white quickly when it's finished cooking. The heat will still cook it.

Put quinoa, skim milk, cocoa and water in a non stick pan.
Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
Stirring continuously add in the egg whites. You won't taste them but it adds protein and a lot of creaminess.
Cook and stir until creamy usually 14-16 minutes.
Add in most of the banana and sweetener.
Put into a bowl and add the banana and hemp/nibs if using.
Let sit to cool a bit and thicken up.
Enjoy!

One pot chicken chow mein Simply Filling

I had a couple of chicken breasts in the fridge and I wanted some inspiration on what to cook with them. So I went on google and found this recipe.

I didn't want to cook that much and I wanted to make it even easier so I definitely tweaked it quite a bit.

I also used my electric pressure cooker but you could use a slow cooker or do it on the stove top. I wanted to make it quick so this is how I made it.

One pot chicken chow mein Simply Filling

2 chicken breasts cuts into small cubes
1/2 package of whole wheat spaghettini  or you could use any shape of whole wheat pasta I broke my in half for smaller pieces
2 cups chicken broth I made my own and used that
1 tsp olive oil which I'm not sure why that's in there
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
2 cloves of garlic which I didn't have so I just used powdered
a couple of drops of fish sauce which isn't necessary but I like it
Instead of sugar I added one sweetener
1 package of frozen mixed Asian vegetables
Chopped green onion

I didn't but you might want to spray non stick on your pan first.

Put the broth, chicken, pasta, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic and sweetener in pot.
I cooked it on the rice setting for 10 minutes.
Released the steam and stirred.
Added the Asian vegetables which mine were partly thawed.
Cooked for another 2 minutes.
Released the steam and voila
Dinners ready.
Served with chopped onion on the top.

Top one slice of bread with 1 Tbsp sf cranberry sauce
Now place on slice on top of the other slice with all the fixings in the middle.

In a flat container mix the egg with the skim milk, sweetener of choice and pumpkin spice all together.

Pumpkin cranberry baked oatmeal simply filling + 0sp

Pumpkin cranberry baked oatmeal 5pp, or simply filling or 4sp

1/3c uncooked quick oats
1/4c egg whites or 2 egg whites
1/4c skim milk
1/4c pure pumpkin
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice I like a lot so you may want less
sweetener to taste depends on how sweet you like it 1-2 packets
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4c frozen or fresh whole or chopped cranberries
1/4 tsp sugar to sprinkle on top for a bit of crunch

I mixed all except the sugar. Put it into a ramkin or small baking dish. I oil mine first or use non stick spray. Sprinkle sugar on top. Update I let it sit a few minutes to soak up the liquid. 

I baked mine in my toaster oven at 375 for 25 minutes. You could bake this in the oven if you're cooking something else and then reheat in the microwave.

Egg, feta, tomato mini quiches

I saw this and was inspired to come up with my own recipe :)

I ate the whole serving and loved it!

Egg, feta, tomato mini quiches 5pp or Simply Filling plus whatever cheese you use

1 egg
2 egg whites
1 oz feta cheese crumbled or goat cheese
5 fresh basil leaves finely sliced although you could use dried
1 1/2 cocktail size tomatoes or you could use roma or even large cherry tomatoes
sea salt and ground pepper to taste

Beat the egg and the egg whites then add the crumbled cheese and the basil, salt, pepper.
I used parchment paper in muffin tins which are amazing because food never sticks to them but you could use oil.
Fill 3 muffin tins about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way full.
Place 1/2 piece of the cocktail tomatoes into each muffin tin.

I baked mine in my toaster oven at 375 for 23 minutes. When they are puffed up and slightly brown they are done :)

Enjoy!
