Baked Spinach Mushroom Omelet and Shepard's Pie

Baked Spinach and Mushroom Omelet (354 calories)

This morning Jarrod and I went to the gym when we got up around 8:30 a.m.  We did 40 minutes on the elliptical and headed home.  When I got home, I decided to use the extra spinach and mushrooms I bought to make a baked omelet.  I love going to Becky's Diner in Portland and getting a similar omelet that they make...  but I'm sure my omelet had less calories ;). 

Baked Spinach and Mushroom Omelet

10 eggs
1/3 cup of 2% milk
salt and pepper

Whisk ingredients and set aside in a bowl.

1 package of mushrooms
1 package of pre washed spinach (was only $1 a bag at Shaws this week!)
1/2 cup mozzerella
4 tbsp half and half
2 tbsp butter

Melt butter in a skillet and add the mushrooms...
When cooked, add spinach to the pan...

let the spinach reduce and cook

Add 4 tbsp of half and half and let cook for 3-5 minutes.  Add salt and pepper.
When finished add mixture to a small baking dish.  Add egg mixture, and then add cheese.

Bake in a 375 oven until done. 
When I first checked mine, the middle had a little moisture, so I stuck it back in for a few more minutes, just cut into the middle to check.

We had ours with an english muffin and some fruit.

See, I even used butter and the calories for the omelet only came to 354!  The recipe made 4 servings.

Today I did some Wii Fit, I was trying to beat my score at the balance bubble game, but I can't seem to get it, I guess I don't have good balance.  I also did some of the yoga...and the aerobic stepping game (don't remember what they call it).
We watched some football today (I wanted the Ravens to win and Jarrod wanted the chiefs.... I won!), and Jarrod's parents came over for a visit. 

After that I started supper.  Tonight was Shepard's Pie!  I got to use my new food mill that Jarrod's parents got me for Christmas!  It made more of a potato puree because I used the smaller grinder but it came out really good!  :)  I've added the recipe below....

Pumpkinhead Shepard's Pie

8 cups of potato cooked and mashed with...
4 tbsp butter
3/4 cup 2% milk

2 packages of Jennie-O Ground Turkey
1 bottle of Shipyard Pumpkinhead
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp oregano
salt and pepper

2 Packages of Frozen Peas and Carrots (Steamed)
1 Can of Sweet Corn

1/2 cup Reduced Fat Mexican Cheese (Sargento)

I cooked the Turkey until brown and added half of the bottle of beer, and let reduce, then added the next half and cooked all of the liquid off, adding salt and pepper to taste.  I also added 1/2 tsp of cumin and 1/2 tsp of oregano.

I took a 9x13 pan and added the turkey to the bottom.  I then spread 1 can of sweet corn evenly over the turkey.  I then added the Peas and Carrots that I had steamed. I baked in a 375 oven for 20 minutes.  I then added the cheese to the top, and broiled until bubbly. 

8 servings at 484 calories per serving!  :)

Stuffed Mushrooms and Grape Salad

January 16th, 2010 Today we celebrated Christmas on Jarrod's side of the family... Jarrod's mom, Ginny, asked that I make my stuffed mushrooms and grape salad. So in knowing that most of the ingredients in both of these recipes were pretty high in calories, I did my best to make a few substitutions to make them healthier. I have added the recipes below. Stuffed Mushrooms 1 lb Turkey Sausage (casings removed) 1 Red Pepper 1 White Onion 2 cups fresh Spinach 1/2 cup Parmesan 3/4 cup Italian Bread Crumbs (I like Progresso) 6 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar 1-2 Tbsp Vodka Salt and Pepper Mushrooms (probably about 24) Clean mushrooms, and remove stems. Save stems to cut up and add to Sausage Stuffing in a few minutes. Cut the top of the mushroom so it will lay flat on a baking sheet. Line mushrooms on a greased baking sheet. Preheat Skillet. Add Turkey Sausage (casings removed), chopped white onion, and chopped red pepper. Cook until Sausage is browned. Drain if any liquid.

Laptop is back up and running...

I need to stop taking these long breaks from my Blog!  Ok, so this long stint away from my blog was not entirely my fault.  Our laptop had been acting funny for a little while and then got completely taken over by a virus.  Luckily, my cousin got it running again and it seems to be doing just fine.  Therefore some of the pictures of yummy food did not make it up on this blog.  Plus you got to skip my last few weeks of weigh ins... I didn't lose any weight the week before last, and last week I gained a little over a pound.  Time to get back to it!  I set a goal for March of losing 14 pounds.  Not sure if I can do it, but worth a shot!  :)  First off, I'd like to share a picture of some of the beautiful Gerbera daisies that my hubby got me for Valentine's Day, aren't they beautiful!  I'm such a lucky girl! Speaking of my hubby, here's a picture of him in the new Superman shirt I got him for Valentine's Day before our night out at Frog and Turtle!  Yum!

Pork Stir Fry with Brown Rice

Image
Today I actually took out the camera while cooking dinner so that I could post some pictures on my blog of the meal I was making.  Tonight I made Pork Stir Fry with Brown Rice.  Recipe Below... 3 cups brown rice (rice cooker measuring cup which is smaller than a regular cup) w/ 4.5 rice cooker cups of water and a tsp of chicken bouilon paste. 4 boneless pork chops cut into cubes 1/4 cup of stir fry sauce 2 bags of Frozen Stir Fry Veggies 1/2 bag of Frozen Corn I first started the rice in the rice cooker.  May I just say that I used to HATE cooking rice, I always messed it up on the stovetop... however, rice in the rice cooker is fool proof.  It's so easy, set it and forget it!  And Brown Rice is pretty good for you.  :)  I decided to add some of the chicken bouilon to give the rice a little flavor, you could also have added chicken broth instead of water to the rice cooker for flavor.  The book that the rice cooker comes with mentions adding olive oil... but I didn't wa
