Love Healthy Eating Recipes from/for the Club

There are many YT people who have challenged themselves to start this New Year by eating healthier than they have in the past. Hope everyone is doing really well in your committment to change your eating habits!

To compliment this committment, I would like to begin this thread of Healthy Recipes. If anyone else would like to post, you are welcome to. Please try to follow these rules:

1. The recipe needs to have healthy ingredients.
2. Should be low-fat or fat free.
3. Should be low-sodium.
4. Should be tested by the poster and known to be D-LICIOUS!!!

Have fun with this, everyone!
***********************************

Fruity Angel Food
Ingredients:
1 Angel Food Cake
2 cups fresh or frozen berries of your choice (I use a bag of frozen mixed fruit: peaches, strawberries, and blueberries)
1 container Fat Free Cool Whip
***********************************
Prepare ahead so berry juice has time to soak in!

Either make your own Angel Food cake, or purchase one at your local grocery store. Although I am sure you will find this correct, read your label and find a fat free cake. (egg whites only)

Clean or thaw and slice berries. If using fresh tart berries, stir in 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons Splenda

Cut a 1 inch deep channel in the top of the cake with a sharp knife. Cut the cake that came from the channel into small pieces and mix with the fruit. Fill the channel with the fruit and cake mixture, and use the remainder to fill the hole in the center of the cake, retaining a few berries for decoration. Using Fat Free Cool Whip, frost the cake and put the retained berries on top. YUMMY!
************************************************** **
And here you go Villette!!
Carrot Cake. (adjusted recipe from the American Heart Association cookbook)
Ingredients:
Fat Free cooking spray
1/2 cup Egg Beaters
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Splenda
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon applesauce
1/2 cup non-fat yogurt
1 cup white flour
1 cup wheat flour
1 1/2 cups grated carrots (2 medium)
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup dry roasted walnuts
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8 inch square cake pan with fat free cooking spray.

In large bowl whisk together egg beaters, sugars, applesauce, and yogurt. In another large bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Add to liquid ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix! Pour batter into cake pan.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, and use the toothpick test to determine if done. Serve topped with fat free cool whip.

In the carrot cake recipe can you use 1/2 cup of Splenda instead of the 1/4 cup of brown sugar, also can all wheat flour be used instead of 1/2 white and 1/2 wheat ? I don't use sugar or white flour in recipes.

Whats the review on these two recipes ?

Teeth I don't see why not!

But I might try some mollasses instead of the brown sugar to give it that rich flavor. And yes, I have made this recipe with all wheat before, but it does give it a heavier consistency. It was STILL yummy though!!

If anyone tries this, let me know what you think!

AND see how easy it is to make substitutions in recipes??

i dont know how low calorie it is:
Stuffed chicken breasts

Take a skinless boneless chicken breast, and slit it open
Stuff with dried bread, raisins, celery, ect.. (what you usually stuff a turkey with... i guess you could use ready made stuffing? ooo or laftovers from christmas?)
Put it in a pan and drizzle cambles cream of mushroom soup over it

Oh yeah, bake in the oven at 375 for about an hour

As a side dish i usually eat steamed vegetables with (VERY LITTLE) butter
