Recipe: Cheesecake in a Mug

Do you ever get those temptations to have something sweet, but you just don’t want to make a whole batch of something because you don’t want it sitting in your kitchen screaming your name all week?

::giggle::

Well, I get that way sometimes.  HA!

My daughter has been finding all these recipes online recently about something-in-a-mug.  One serving of something, and one serving only.

I thought to myself, what an ingenious idea!  Let me create some P3 friendly recipes like that!

Once you make this, you can garnish it with almost anything you want, I chose pecans and strawberries, only because they are two of […]

Recipe: Poppy Chicken Dip

Sports parties.

They are all over the place come January.

You need something simple, and legal, yet delicious to take so that you don’t go backwards on all the progress you made during the proceeding weeks getting all that holiday weight back off.

::giggle::

But seriously.  This stuff is good.  Very simple to make, very tasty, and if you don’t make a double recipe, you are going to be very sorry because you will have nothing left for yourself.  HA!

I seriously love me some of those mini peppers, and I find the sweet crunch of the peppers blends nicely with the salty and creaminess […]

Recipe: Strawberry Cheesecake (without the cake!)

Yum!

I wrestled with just writing that and be done with it.  But no, that isn’t my style.  ::giggle::

Cheesecake is one of those things that everyone has their favorite recipe.  For me, the less ingredients the better.  But making a wheat free cheesecake isn’t an easy endeavor.

And, I am all about ease.

These nummy morsels will satisfy ANYONE’s lingering desire for something sweet, cheesecakeyish (yeah, I just made that word up) without the humbug of baking.  Ready in less than 20 minutes!

Recipe: Mini Stuffed Peppers with Feta and Bacon

Earlier this week I was caught without groceries, don’t you hate when that happens?  You have to get creative, especially when you don’t like grocery shopping as it stands.  HA!

These were really delish, and I have to say I prefer them cold as an appetizer rather than a meal (which is how I ate them!) – so this would be a great dish to take to a gathering.

The recipe calls for using frozen chopped spinach, but I had a bag of spinach that needed to be used up, so I chopped that up instead.

Recipe: Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Portobello

There are days when I prefer just to go meatless.

In fact, not too long ago I was in the habit of doing Meatless Monday’s.  I did this because usually my weekends were a grilling fest and I had unhealthy amounts of protein and I just wanted to give my body a rest.

I have gotten out of that habit, but after sampling this recipe, I think I might just develop it once again.

This was beyond my normal yum factor.  It was so incredibly rich, I could barely finish it for dinner, but I made myself.  ::giggle::

Pair this with a simple salad […]

Recipe: Pumpkin Mock Danish

Pumpkin.  Yum.

When I was first doing Atkins for real, not just playing around with it, I came across the beloved “Mock Danish”.  At first, it meant nothing to me as I am not a sweet lover. So “Danish” turned me off.

On the support group forum I belonged to however, they kept singing it’s praises and I finally succumbed. And I am glad I did! It was heavenly, and oh so filling! It kept me satiated for hours. Better than that, it was excellent cold, so I could make a few and keep in the fridge for those times […]

Recipe: Stuffed Mushrooms with Creamed Chicken

Mushroom and cream go together like peas and carrots. ::giggle::

But seriously, mushrooms are delectable with any sort of creamy concoction, and this recipe is no exception!

I have to admit something … when I tested this recipe, these were great hot, but they were also delicious COLD!  So it’s a great make ahead and take with you on the go type of meal, and it’s really incredible how satiating just a serving of these are!

I use canned chicken with this recipe.  I happen to be able to get a brand of canned chicken at my local WinnDixie that is […]

Recipe: Broccoli Cheese Soup

It’s officially fall, and what better way to celebrate it than with a nice warm soup for those cold evenings?

I have to ultimate favorite soups in the world, clam chowder (is that even a soup?) and potato.  Well, if you are trying to be a low-starcher, then potato is pretty much out.  So the next best thing?  A thick Broccoli and Cheese soup.  It’s very close to being the comfort food that potato soup is.

This recipe is fast and easy, and it is usually something I can make with ingredients I always have on hand.

If you ask me, […]
