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:
4 Roma tomatoes or 6 Calipari tomatoes (costco fav)
1/2 sweet onion
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup fresh cilantro

Mince tomatoes into 1/4" chunks
Mince the onions
Chop the cilantro somewhat fine

Mix all ingredients together, cover, let set in the refrigerator for two hours. Eat!!

Hint: If the tomatoes are watery, drain them off into the sink before mixing the ingredients together.

This recipe took me 10 minutes to make last night.

Simple Sunday Burgers

I am making these again today.

It's simple:

Ground sirloin patties
Minced garlic - about a 1/2 tbsp per burger
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Mix the three ingredients per burger. Grill to suit.

Cut in half, roll up in a whole grain or low carb wrap with some salsa.

Enjoy. Total about 20 minutes if you take your time.

JC's Low Fat Grilled Salmon Roll Ups

This one I only had once, but I will make it more often now that I have thought about it. It is healthy and delicious. Enjoy.

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.

Coat salmon fillets and underside of zucchini with olive oil. Place in grill on medium heat. Season salmon to taste with your favorite spices. Cook salmon until cooked thoroughly, cook zucchini until hot and to desired texture. Slice zucchini.

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

Easy Tartar Sauce

Looking for a low fat, low calorie tartar sauce? This is easy to make, tastes great, and will make any seafood dish wonderful.

1 cup fat free salad dressing
1/3 cup sugar free relish
2 tsp Italian seasonings ( I use Costco brand)

Mix all ingredients together and place in a bowl in the fridge for an hour.

If you want to spice it up, add a dash of old bay or mesquite seasonings.

It is great on fish and scallops.
Enjoy.

Something off the Path

I did something 6 years ago that I thought I would never do. I was influenced by a colleague, Jack, he was into healthy living, natural living, and alternative remedies. He convinced me after many talks into cleansing my colon. I know, sounds gross, and in reality it is. He told me that I would feel better, sleep better, have more energy, digest food better and more thoroughly, as well as many other benefits. I was skeptical and was frankly afraid to try something like that.

He turned me onto a product by a company called Nature's Secret, Super Cleanse. It was amazing. After a week of using Super Cleanse, which is essentially a large dose of natural fiber, I felt like a totally new person. I was alert, not tired, energetic, had less gas, heartburn....truly amazing. And I lost 7 lbs in that week from shedding the excess plaque that was lining my digestive tract.

I would definitely consult a physician before doing this just to make sure. And always follow the directions or call Nature's Secret if you have any questions. Also, you must drink a lot of water is you take this. Also, stay close to "home base" if you know what I mean. The waste wants to come out quickly and the need to evacuate comes even quicker.
