Fruits of my labour

If you read my post yesterday you will know that I was trying new recipes yesterday and today. I took some photos of the recipes that I made and I thought I would let you know how they turned out.

Zesty Spinach Soup

I really like this soup. I would not say that it is really zesty, but it is really tasty.

Calories per serving - 169

I will definately be making it again. In the soup is the following:

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Red Onion

Carrots

Celery

Garlic

Sea Salt

Black Pepper

Low Sodium Chicken Broth

Chicken Boullion Cube

Tomatoes

Quinoa

White Kidney Beans

Curry Powder

Nutmeg

Baby Spinach Leaves

Morning Berry Strata

This was delicious also! After I took the photo I ended up putting it back in the oven for about 10 more minutes so when it was done it was a little more golden brown. I found it hard to get the center of it cooked so next time I will make it in 2 smaller dishes and see how it turns out.

Joey liked this but he put syrup on it. He said it was too healthy. LOL Funny Guy. He said it tastes like French Toast with berries.

When I ate it I put a dallop of Citrus Spread on top.

Calories per serving - 237

Here are the ingredients:

Egg Whites

Eggs

Skim Milk

Maple Syrup

White Pepper

Yogurt Cheese

Fig Jam (I didn't have any)

Sourdough Bread

Cinnamon

Lemon Juice

Almonds

Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries

Citrus Spread

I made this yesterday and LOVED IT! I can see me using it in many different ways. It can be used as a spread on toast, dip for fruit, and on the Morning Berry Strata. The sky is the limit with this one.

Calories per serving - 35

Here are the ingredients:

Yogurt Cheese

Agave Nectar (I used agave syrup)

Vanilla

Strawberries

Orange

Grated Orange Peel

Brown Rice Meatloaf and Lemon & Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes

Both of these recipes were really good also. Both were full of flavour.

The Brown Rice Meatloaf has Low Sodium Soya Sauce in it and I don't think it really needed it so next time I will make it without the Soya Sauce.

Here are the ingredients:

Lean Ground Turkey

Cooked Brown Rice

Egg

Yogurt Cheese

Red Onion

Red Pepper

Celery

Low-Sodium Soya Sauce

Sea Salt, Black Pepper

Oregano

Basil

Lemon & Cinnamon Sweet Potatoe

These smell absolutely wonderful while cooking and they taste great too. I probably would not make these all the time but they would be a nice treat every now and then when I am looking for something different.

Calories per serving - 148

Here are the ingredients:

Sweet Potatoes

Apple Juice

Agave Nectar (I used agave syrup)

Nutmeg

Cinnamon

Lemon Zest

Sea Salt

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Juice of 1/2 Lemon

So the only thing left for me to tell you about are the Maple Syrup Crockpot Beans. There is not too much to say other than they didn't even make it to the crockpot. I soaked them overnight like the recipe said and then I had to change the water and boil them for 1 hour or until tender. I checked to see how they were doing 40 minutes into simmering them and they were like mush. So I tossed them in the compost. I will try again next weekend. I think I will also try the Vegetarian Chili.
