Did someone say pizza?

Pizza...pizza...pizza...my kryptonite! I could eat pizza morning, noon , and night! On this particular day, I created a pizza for breakfast.

I started by preparing 2 egg whites in my Redi, Set, Go.


I toasted a Joseph's brand pita in the oven until crisped to my satisfaction.


Next I placed my egg on to the toasted pita.


For sauce I used HEB's salsa. I chose to spread the salsa on the egg rather than the pita. I figured the sauce would make the pita soggy.


I added Morning Start Vegetarian Italian Sausage and 1 serving of Kraft's Mexican 2% Cheese.


Ooops, I almost forgot to add my HEB pico de gallo! Lastly, I baked the pizza in the oven for about 8 minutes.


I removed the pizza from the oven and devoured it. I wanted to add bacon instead of the veggie Italian sausage, but I forgot to pick up some veggie bacon during my weekly grocery gathering excursion.

Papas Caliente!

During music class the other day, the teacher asked the students what game did they want to play next. In unison, the students shouted, PAPAS CALIENTE!" I thought for a second and then I said aloud, "Ooooooooooooo, hot potato." I then turned to the music teacher and requested, rather shouted, "PAPAS CALIENTE!"

Papas Caliente

4 oz. potato
3 oz. chicken breast
1 point worth of avocado
1/2 cup black beans
2 TB fat free sour cream
2 TB salsa
4 oz. pico de gallo

1. Bake or microwave potato and then cut into smaller pieces.
2. Top the potato with chicken, black beans, pico, and avocado.
   
3. In a small bowl mix sour cream and salsa to make dressing.
4. Pour the dressing mix over the potato.

Feel free to change the toppings to suit your taste. Thanks TJ for inspiring papas caliente!

Here's the loaded potato I made for my son.

The Roof...The Roof...The Roof is on Fire!

...the roof of my mouth that is. Okay so a few weeks ago I made some personal pizzas in my Express RSG. Well, the pizza looked so mouthwatering, I failed to allow proper cooling time and just dove in.

FAIL (as my kids say)! The hot pizza burned the crap out of the roof of my mouth.

I used ready made pizza dough. I wanted a true pizza experience and wanted nothing to do with the whole wheat crust I usually make.

I also cut and prpared my toppings.



I placed the dough in my Express Ready Set Go and added the toppings.

More toppings...

Yum!!!

Trina's Cantina

So the other day during lunch a couple of teachers walked into the teacher's lounge and declared, "Man, it smells good in here!" Another teacher answered, "That's Trina's lunch!" The Redi-Set- Go (RSG) strikes again!


First I threw some onions and bell pepper into the RSG.


Next, I threw in some shrimp and added a little seasoning.


And last, I wrapped the shrimp and veggies inside these marvelous low point tortillas, thanks to TJ. You can eat 4 of these babies for 3 points. SHAZAAM!

Now that's what I'm talking about: quick, easy, and tasty.

Recession...Smession

Although this recessions continues to restrict frivolous purchases, my weight loss financial backer (a.k.a. my Mother) managed to scrape some funds together to purchase this bad boy.

Recession, smession. If you can scrounge up $60 bucks, purchase an Express Redi-Set-Go. Anyway, on to my new dish, Crab Stuffed Mushrooms.

First start with 1/2 cup of imitation crab. Chop up the crab into little chunks.

After you chop the crab, add 1 teaspoon of mustard. I used course ground mustard.

Next add 1 tablespoon of mayo. I used Miracle Whip Lite.

Next I added some chopped onions, onion powder, and garlic powder.

Wash and remove the stem from 6 mushrooms.

So I thought the next step consisted of stuffing the mushroom and placing them in the Redi-Set- Go. WRONG! Actually, I filled each well with the stuffed crab mixture AND THEN...

THEN...I placed each mushroom on top of each filled well.

I waited 7 minutes and then BING!

In order to remove the mushrooms, place a saucer on top of the mushrooms and flip over the removable wells pan.

I decided to add a little cheese.

I'm Baaaaaack....Redi, Set, Go!
