Successful Healthy Cookies

I finally baked "healthy" cookies that have turned out and taste great!

All I did was blend together:
-3 Big Carrots
-3 Ripe Bananas
-2 Cups Raw Oats
-2 tbs Cacoa Powder (rich in antioxidants)
-2 tbs Ground Flaxseed
-1 tsp Baking Soda
-1 tsp Nutmeg
-1 tsp Cinnamon
-1 tsp Vanilla Extract

After that I added Chocolate Chips and baked my cookies on a sheet at 350. Tasty, healthy (not in just a low fat way) but in the form of antioxidants in your cookies, and easy to bake. Enjoy :)

Enchilada Casserole

Before I type up the Recipe, I need to say this turned out amazing and is worth making..I was inspired by the recipe on CookingLight.com but changed the way it was made and added some other ingredients. I was not patient enough for that recipe but I am sure that it would've also been amazing. It just required a lot more time and dedication!

You will need:

Can of Black Beans
Can of Pinto Beans
Can of Corn
Cilantro
Green Onions
Can of Red Enchilada Sauce
Can of Green Enchilada Sauce
Canned Chilies
Salsa
Green Bell Pepper
Jiffy Cornbread Mix
Egg
Milk

1-Begin by making your filler:

In a bowl, mix together black beans, pinto beans, chopped cilantro (1/4 cup), chopped green onions (1/4 cup), red enchilada sauce, 1/3 cup salsa, corn, 2/3 can of green chilies

Set aside

2-Make your base corn bread:

Follow the directions on the Jiffy box, then add the rest of the green chilies, and about 1/4 cup green bell pepper. After stirring the mix, lightly spray your pan and flatten mix to the bottom. Let cornbread bake for about 10 minutes, it should be firm but not fully cooked. Add the filler mix to the top and gently lay over the cornbread. Lightly pour about half the green enchilada sauce over the casserole. Add whatever else you like to the top, I added black olives, you could add cheese, nutritional yeast (which is simiar a replacement for cheese-actually pretty good).

Bake for 10-15 minutes.

Enjoy!!

Stir Fry

Danielle know's better than anyone I am the laziest cook in the world. I have a very simple stir fry recipe for those who like a little spice to their food. This stir fry contains:
-Mushrooms
-Celery
-Carrots
-Onions
-Red Pepper
-Water Chestnuts

All you have to do is chop up your veggies, put a little olive oil on a frying pan and warm them up! To flavor them up I added some soy sauce, and garlic chili paste.

You can put just about any vegetable in here that you like. Also, if I had shrimp I would have added that to the mix. Get creative with your stir fry!

Oil Free Kale Sandwich

For this recipe you will need:

Tomato
Avocado
Kale
Mushrooms
Brussels Sprouts (I know a lot of people cannot stomach these, personally I love them but honestly any vegetable of your choosing would be good in this)
Red Onion
Garlic
Siracha
Flat Wrap
Salt, Pepper, Cumin
Veggie Burger (or any type of meat or protein source you prefer)

Start off first by washing and straining your vegetables and then keep them to the side.

I recently learned in a documentary that you can sautee onions, garlic, and mushrooms and they actually don't need oil because they release their own juices when heated.

Add your veggies and your protein to the mixture, you can see how much room the veggies take up but they will shrink down. You can then add Siracha which also reduces the need for oil and then salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. As your food is simmering you can stir it around and then reduce heat.

Prepare your wrap, I added avocado and tomato to mine but you can what you'd like! Honestly, I am just obsessed with both.

You can see that the veggies have cooked down and look ready.

Add the veggies and your protein source to your wrap, then fold it and cut it.

If you have extra veggies, you can always eat them on the side of your Sandwich. All that is left to do is enjoy your meal :)

Hope you enjoy this!
