From the Freezer To Your Plate

Healthy food can be convenient.  When you cook your dishes try to make extra and freeze individually so you can have a quick meal for those times when you do not feel like cooking.  Many healthy foods freeze well so plan to make extra whenever you have an opportunity, to help keep you on track.

Below is a Cauliflower pizza made with leftover pizza crust and hamburger patties that were frozen separately.  I added some other leftovers and in less than 5 minutes I had a great meal.  Bon Appetit!

What's On The Plate:  Snap peas, Cauliflower Pizza Crust-pg. 28 with leftover hamburger patty -pg. 26 (see pic below) and leftover sauteed onions and bell peppers topped with a little salsa, Collard green salad-pg. 35, orange slices and lime water.

Eating At A Restaurant: Golden Corral....The Buffet Restaurant Tip

Whenever I go to a buffet restaurant I ALWAYS fill up on a salad first.  It keeps you from over doing it on poor choices.  However, there are times when I do indulge on some of my favorite things. Usually I get a slice of pizza (a food I LOVE to eat but I try not to eat too much) and french fries.  So my salad beforehand keeps me from eating a plate of pizza and fries.  



Fries and Pizza my favorite foods.  I did not have pizza on this day because they were out of it when I went to get some.  I think that was a blessing in disguise. lol
