Microwave Apple Almond Dessert

February 26, 2010 in Recipes with 0 Comments

I found this recipe online, Im definitely going to try it when I go food shopping next! If anybody tries it, let me know how it goes :)
For me, baked apple is a comfort food. Regular recipes are full of sugar and raisins. This is sort of a cross between baked apple and an individual apple crisp, but it’s done in the microwave, so it isn’t crispy. Sometimes I top it with yogurt, or mascarpone cheese mixed with the flavored sugar-free syrup. This snack/dessert isn’t super low-carb, so you wouldn’t want to use it for a very low carb diet phase.
Ingredients:
  • About 2/3 cup chopped apple (70 grams)
  • Sugar-free syrup, such as Da Vinci’s caramel, or water and sugar substitute
  • About half a teaspoon of cinnamon
  • About 3 Tablespoons almond meal
  • About a teaspoon of butter
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Preparation:

Note that the measurements above are approximate, although the Nutritional Information is based upon it.Put the chopped apple in a microwave-safe bowl or other container. Sprinkle the cinnamon over it, and pour the sugar-free syrup over the top to about half an inch. Cover. Microwave about 1½ minutes.

Remove the cover. Sprinkle the almond meal over the top, and just a sprinkling of salt. You can add chopped walnuts or pecans if you like. Dot with butter. Microwave, uncovered for another 1½ minutes.

Nutritional Information: Each serving has 9 grams effective carbohydrate plus 4 grams fiber, 4 grams protein, and 169 calories.

My Healthy Vegetarian Pizza Recipe – Under 250 Cals!

January 19, 2010 in Recipes with 6 Comments

I’ll tell you a little story about this recipe. I hadn’t been food shopping one evening and was quite hungry. It was too late to go out for a meal because everything was closed and I knew if I went to the 7/11 I’d probably end up buying something unhealthy. I decided to cook something with what I had and used a light rye bread wrap as a pizza base, pasta sauce and some random vegetables I had leftover in the fridge. It turned out to be quite successful so now I’ve added a few more things and come up with a really tasty and very healthy pizza recipe!

Ingredients

  • Light Rye Wrap (I use a brand called mountain bread)
  • 3 tablespoons of pasta sauce   – I use an onion and roast garlic one, I cant remember the name but it doesnt really matter
  • 1/4 block of reduced fat fetta cheese
  • 1 slice of eggplant, chopped into cubes
  • Baby spinach leaves
  • 2 Slices of Red Onion
  • 1/4 cup of chopped red capsicum (peppers)
  • 6 semi dried tomatoes chopped
  • Oregano

Method

  • Preset oven to 200 degrees celcius
  • Put a layer of baking paper on an oven tray
  • Fold your wrap in half and place on tray
  • Spread 3 tablespoons of pasta sauce evenly over the folded wrap
  • Add ingredients, put spinach leaves on first. Fetta & Oregano on last
  • Cook for 15 minutes
  • Eat & Enjoy!!

I added all the ingredients into a calorie counter and here are the results.

I used half the amount of fetta so instead of 60 calories its 30. Half the pasta sauce so 35 calories in stead of 70. I also used low fat semi dried tomatoes instead of full fat ones as listed below. I used 6 semi dried so counted it as 3 full fat ones in the chart.

Anyway I hope you enjoy making this! Let me know if you like it or changed anything around that might be nice :)
The way I make it works out to be  209 calories. Its very filling too!
Oh and its best to eat it using a knife and fork, because the wrap is quite thin you can’t really pick it up without making a mess.
