Greek Boca Burger

Boca Burgers are great to begin with, but I have found an excellent way to enjoy these great burgers.

What I did was sprinkle a little Costco Mesquite seasoning just to keep them from sticking to the pan. On the last flip of the burger, add a layer of crumbled feta cheese and allow cheese to get a little soft.

Place on a thin bed of lettuce, enjoy or top with jalapenos if you like a little more spice.

These are great. Enjoy.

Quick tasty egg tips

Eggs can be rather boring if you eat them often like I do. I look to other low fat, low carb ideas to keep it interesting and tasty.

• If you want to make your scrambled eggs a little more tasty and slightly sweet tasting, mix in a tablespoon or two of low fat cream cheese when beating the eggs.This is an interesting way to spice up your eggs.
• Try using some low sodium teriyaki sauce on the side to dip scrambled eggs in. I know, it sounds gross but it is really a good combination
• Low fat Parmesan cheese or feta cheese is another way to make plain eggs exciting.

If you have any good low fat, low carb ideas, please comment or e-mail me.

An Awesome Alternative to Plain Bread

I have found a great healthy alternative to plain bread or rolls for your favorite sandwich.

It is Flatout Flatbread, I buy them at Costco. The multi-grain with flax are excellent tasting are only 100 calories per piece, 2.5g fat, and (get this) provide 8 g or equal to 31% of your daily requirement of recommended fiber.

The Flatout Flatbread gets two thumbs up in my book for being tasty, excellent for you, and relatively inexpensive compared to others that I have tried.

Give it a shot, you will enjoy.

Quick Salsa

Ok if you like salsa this one is great. It works with chips, over eggs, on chicken, burgers. It is low fat, low carb and is extremely simple to make.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup fresh cilantro

Mince tomatoes into 1/4" chunks
Mince the onions

JC's Low Fat Grilled Salmon Roll Ups

1" wide salmon fillets - no skin
Romaine lettuce for roll-ups
Sauted onions
Zucchini cut lengthwise into two parts

Saute onions until soft and clear to put into rollups. Set aside and keep warm.

Place salmon, some onions to taste, and zucchini (if desired, or have them as a side dish) into lettuce and roll up. Enjoy.
