Cucumber Salad Recipe

I just got an email from my aunt who was raving about a cucumber salad that someone made.  She passed the recipe along to me, so I’m passing it along to you.  (Update: my aunt says she forgot to mention that the recipe had sugar - I would opt for Splenda, however.)

Ingredients 

  • One large cucumber sliced

  • One or  more (just what ever you like) tomatoes sliced

  • One large onion sliced or chopped

Directions

Mix the following and pour over veggies:

  • 6 Tablespoons salad oil (extra virgin olive oil would be optimal)

  • 2/3 cup white vinegar

  • salt, pepper (peppercorns are better)

  • 1/2 t celery seed

  • 1/2 dry mustard

  • Splenda to taste

Let sit in refrigerator a day or two.

Delicious Yam Puree Recipe

Yams don’t need to be loaded with butter to taste good. In fact, the addition of fat free butter spray, Splenda, and cinnamon makes this concoction taste like a dessert!  This Yam Puree recipe is one I NEVER get tired of eating.

 

Ingredients

  • 3 large Yams (sweet potatoes),

  • Splenda,

  • Liquid, fat-free butter spray

  • Cinnamon (optional)

 

Directions

  • Bake 3 (or more) yams.
  • Remove the skin and mash thoroughly in large bowl (electric beater works best).

  • Add Splenda packets to flavor (5 packets per yam is what I use).

  • Spray on fat-free butter to flavor.

  • Add Cinnamon if desired.

  • Mix all ingredients until thoroughly blended.

  • Weigh out your portion and enjoy!

 

*If you are in a hurry, you can save time by cooking the yams in the microwave. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the yams, but 6 minutes is typically a good starting point.

Tuna Salad Sandwich

 

Here’s a healthy way to enjoy a classic recipe that’s typically loaded with fat.  Not only is this recipe good for you, but its prep time is also minimal – well under five minutes.  This serving size would actually be perfect for a female.  You men may want to use a can and a half of tuna and four pieces of bread to add about 17g protein and 20g of carbs.

 

To really individualize this recipe, let your imagination run wild.  You can add all sorts of vegetables, spices, or seasonings to this mixture to dramatically vary the taste. Personally, I like adding black pepper and mustard.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 can (6oz) Chunk Light Tuna in water
  • 3 tbsp (50g) Fat Free Mayonnaise Dressing
  • 2 slices of Light Wheat Bread
  • Add bell peppers, onions, or other vegetables as desired

Mega Smoothie

 

I love milkshakes, but drinking them on a regular basis isn’t really conducive to a healthy lifestyle or a lean physique. But lucky for you (and me), I have created a healthy version that will make you think that you are drinking the real thing. Not only does it taste great, but it is very versatile, so you can use it in lieu of breakfast or for any of other your meals throughout the day. Unlike many of the wimpy, watered-down smoothie recipes out there, this one will keep you satisfied until it’s time for your next feeding.

 

If you’re feeling wild ‘n crazy, you can swap the strawberries for (gasp) blueberries.  Doing so will just add a couple grams of carbs to the carb count.  For those of you big boys who need more carbs or want to use this post-workout, you could use a banana or about 4 ounces of pineapple to accomplish your goals.

 

Again, leaving out the lecithin, flax seeds, and even the oats is an option; but if you do that, don’t run around bragging that you’re downing a Mega Smoothie.
