Quinoa is a grain, or as I'm reading it on http://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshel...523,74,00.html it is really a type of seed.

Tuna Patties
1 can of tuna
1 egg white
1/4 slice of bread
***optional spices***paprika, garlic powder, pepper, dill, etc.
Mix drained tuna, egg white and spices. Crumble 1/4 slice of bread, add. Mix well. Heat pan on medium and spray with nonfat cooking spray. Shape mixure into patties (I usually make 2 out of this amount of tuna) and cook on each side till golden brown.
Using entire recipe:
185-190 calories
1.5 grams fat
4.5 grams of carbohydrates
36-37 grams protein
These are my calculations for the recipe. I calculated it using the info for chunk light tuna in water. If you use solid tuna, the amounts will be slightly higher since it is a little higher in calories and fat. Also, if I need the calories, I will add a slice of Kraft's 2% cheese (50 cal, 2.5 g fat, 2 g carbs, 4 g protein). I get on these kicks where I make these everyday. Low in carbs and fat, very high in protein.

Dutch Baby For One
This is a rendition of the classic pancake known in Chicago as the Dutch Baby. It cooks in the oven and POOFS up, then deflates when you serve it. So, like a souffle, except its supposed to shrink. :-)
The batter can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated.
1 T buttermilk powder
3 T water
2 T whole wheat pastry flour
1 large eggs
1 egg white
1/8 t lemon extract
1/2 t sugar
1/4 t pure vanilla extract
1 t unsalted butter
To serve:
1/2 lemon, cut into wedges
Heat oven to 450. Place 6" iron skillet in oven.
Make batter, combining all ingredients except butter and blending well. Add butter to skillet and return it to the oven for 1-2 minutes. Remove skillet, swirl butter around to coat, and then pour the batter at once into the pan.
Return to oven, let cook for 5 minutes, then turn oven off (the residual heat will cook the pancake). Allow to finish cooking for about 5+ minutes, removing when the edges have poofed and are nice and brown. Remove from oven and watch it deflate! Tip onto a plate for serving.
Serve with lemon wedges and powdered sugar, if desired.

2 TBSP flax seeds (optional)
1 cup non fat dry milk
1/2 cup water (you may need more water depending on
whey protein)

Mexican Chicken Casserole
1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
2 (4.5-ounce) cans chopped green chiles, divided
1 3/4 pounds skinned, boned chicken breasts
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup evaporated skim milk
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup (2 ounces) tub-style light cream cheese
1 (10-ounce) can enchilada sauce-mild, medium or spicy depending on your "heat" tolerance.
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
Cooking spray
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1 ounce tortilla chips, crushed (about 6 chips)
Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine broth and 1 can of chiles in a large skillet; bring to a boil. Add chicken; reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until chicken is done, turning chicken once. Remove chicken from cooking liquid, reserving cooking liquid; cool chicken. Shred meat with two forks, and set aside.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 can of chiles and onion; sauté 3 minutes or until soft. Add reserved cooking liquid, milk, Monterey Jack, cream cheese, and enchilada sauce; stir well. Stir in shredded chicken; cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Place 4 tortillas in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon 2 cups chicken mixture over tortillas. Repeat layers twice, ending with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and chips. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Emma,
it seems like you use Stevia in all your baking recipes. Can you please specify how much? I bouth Stevia Plus before but I am not sure how to adapt to baking since sugar (or Splenda) actually help with the consistency of the dough. I am OK skipping sugar all together but how do cookies and cake turn out without it?
Thanks
Fit

But on the rare occasion I actually do add something then yes, I will use stevia powder. Stevia is REALLY sweet. You only need to use 0.25 to 0.5 a tsp to get a noticable difference - and after that you start to 'taint' the recipe.. so be very careful.
As for consistency - I have not found a problem at all and all my baked products turn out fine.
If you want more info on stevia you can check out Stevia.com for some recipes and other information.

I'm getting me veggies!
Here's an interesting kick on stir fry that I think you guys might enjoy...
Chicken breast cut into bite size pieces or strips
Favorite blend of frozen veggies
Spinach
Ranch Seasoning Packet
I cooked the chicken in my skillet, added the ranch (not the whole packet about 1/4), then the frozen veggies and the spinache. Turned out awesome!!!

get your veggies!
I posted this on a different forum before I knew there was a recipe thread!
I recently discovered a great way to grill veggies with Kraft Fat Free Zesty Italian salad dressing.
Cut up a bunch of zucchini, yellow squash, onions, red and green peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes in decent size pieces (don't make them too small or they will burn)
Coat them with the Italian dressing (I don't really measure how much I use, I just make sure they all get a little bit withough drawning them since it depends on how much veggies you use).
Then either make skewers or throw them in a grill wok (I do the latter since making skewers takes too much time) and grill them. Once cooked you can freeze them for later use.
It's delicious! Even my hubby likes them and he is definitely not a veggie person.
