Recipe: Zucchini Ginger Soup

If you have a garden, it’s usually around this time of year that you have a plethora of zucchini that you are running out of ideas on what to do with them. ::giggle::

This recipe is a great way to use up a lot of them!

This soup is pretty darn delish!  Soups on P2 are the awesome because they fill up your tummy without a lot of calories.  You can make this entire recipe and eat it all day!  It’s only 317 calories!  YUM!!!

Dress it up for dinner by adding a serving of chicken and another veggie like cabbage, have a […]

Recipe: Blender Hollandaise Sauce

Some people stay away from making Hollandaise Sauce because it looks to complicated. Who really understands anything about double boilers???

::giggle::

If it ain’t easy, I ain’t gonna do it, plain and simple.

THIS IS EASY! Give it a shot!

Nummy on asparagus. Shown here, I layered it on some quickly pan fried in butter cut up portabella mushrooms, an egg, and some bacon bits. I served it with a chopped salad and it became a great brunch for Sunday morning!

Enjoy!

Recipe: Pumpkin Chipotle Sauce

Yeah, I am on a pumpkin kick, for sure.

Just shoot me already.

::giggle::

I am finding more and more things to make with pumpkin, so you will just have to put up with it.  Last year there was a pumpkin shortage so I definitely did not get my fill.  I am making up for lost time.

This dish is SPICY, so it’s perfect for cool fall evenings … warming the inside as well as warming the outside.

I used zoodles, but you can actually use almost anything.  Quite frankly, I made this, took one serving to take the picture, then I ate […]

Recipe: Tzatziki

Who doesn’t love Gyro’s???

The sauce that makes the whole thing is something called Tzatziki. When this stuff is made right, it’s to die for, quite seriously.

Since most of us don’t do wheat anymore, pita is off the menu, so the next best thing is a Gyro Salad.  My local Greek Restaurant makes a killer Gyro Salad – I have yet been able to replicate the meat and it seems that all Greek chefs don’t like to share.

Scares me sometimes.

HA!  I digress.

A grilled meat salad topped with this sauce is something to be treasured.  It’s simply divine.

The trick with […]

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: Zoodle Chicken

One of these is perfect for making this recipe!

That little gadget can go a long way to making Zoodles which are awesome for P2.  Yes, I know that zucchini is not an allowed veggie, but it is for any Bod Squad member.  ::giggle::

I posted a recipe for Marinara Sauce a few months ago, and said I would be releasing the Zoodle Chicken recipe soon, so here it is.

This is a great warm comfort food for chilly nights.

Enjoy!

Recipe: Apple and Cottage Cheese Delight

Yum to cottage cheese!

It wasn’t until my 4th round that I actually tried cottage cheese for P2.  Sure, I read like everyone else that cottage cheese was allowed, however, I never ever thought it would be satiating enough to feel like a real meal.  I mean, come on, we are only allowed 500 calories in a day and why would I want to waste it on such a small amount of food?

What I didn’t realize until I tried it is that it’s more satiating than you can imagine.

Dr. Simeons recommends using non-fat cottage cheese, […]

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 […]
