Quick and easy burgers

I made this tonight. Quick and tasty. Takes me a total of 15 minutes if I have to cut up the onions and peppers. Also, low fat, low carb, very good for you. Editorial: I love the Boca Burgers, all flavors are great and inexpensive. At Costco, I get 16 for about $9.50 and they tend to last forever in the freezer.

In a pan add a little olive oil to keep the burgers from sticking. Heat on medium high heat.

Add cut up onions and red, orange and green peppers to saute.

Cook burgers and lightly top with mesquite seasoning.

When burgers are about done, slightly melt a slice of swiss cheese.

Put on plate when done, top with sauted veggies. It is also great if you add lettuce or spinach leaves.

Enjoy.

Whipped Honey Cinammon Butter

Yes I know that butter is not the greatest choice for healthful cooking, however, butter is definitely a better choice than margarine. Also, for special occasions who doesn't like to have a sweet buttery treat?

OK here goes. I make 1/2 pound batches of this for my parties since it goes quick.

Ingredients:
1/2 pound butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp cinnamon

(I tend to use a lot of cinnamon by choice, throttle back if you are not as big a fan)

Soften butter by leaving on counter for about an hour or so
Add all other ingredients until fully mixed
Place in your favorite container
Cool in fridge for about 2 hours

This is great on toast and on warm muffins. Enjoy.

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:
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.
