Showing 1 - 20 of 514 results.

Been out for a few weeks. But I am back now. Come in and throw down any recipe you like.

Come on in and put down a recipe to be added.

I am going to attempt the impossible. I am going to try and create the spreadsheet everyone wants, complete with Table of Contents, recipes, ingredients and hopefully nutritional info.

The info that I will put in the excel sheet will be provided by you all. Come in and give me your recipes.

Okay folks, I am going to make this thing but I need your help.

I would like to make this spreadsheet contain breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, salads, crockpot and any other recipe groups you all can supply.

To keep this from getting out of control quick I would like to do it in stages. Let's start with breakfast and we'll work our way up.

I know I could scour the recipe forums for all the data but if you all want a copy you will have to submit at least one recipe.

The skeleton of the spreadsheet is already built with a table of contents and quick access hyperlinks to other worksheets in the workbook.(if you don't know what the means, it just makes it easy to navigate). I will also add any external hyperlinks to websites that contain any info for your recipes such as nutritional data or ingredients.

I would like the format of recipe submittal to be the following:

recipe name

prep time(if possible) and cook time
Serving size (if possible)

ingredients

cooking instructions

nutrition facts (if you have them).


You all want an excel spreadsheet, lets get it done.

Breakfast Burritoes

non-stick cooking spray
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/2 red pepper, trimmed and diced
2 cups egg substitute
1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese
black pepper to taste
2 whole wheat tortillas
1 oz. lowfat cheddar cheese, grated

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, and pepper. Set aside. Place tortillas in a warm oven. Coat a medium saucepan with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat until hot. Saute mushrooms, onions, and red pepper until soft. Pour egg mixture over vegetables and cook until firm. Place 1/2 of the egg and vegetable mixture down the center of each warm burrito. Roll, then top with cheese and salsa.
Serves 2

Heartwarming Hotcakes

Mix 1/2 cup nonfat or low-fat cottage cheese, 6 egg whites or 1/2 cup Egg Beaters, 2/3 cup oatmeal, and cinnamon and vanilla to taste in a blender until smooth.
Spray skillet or griddle with cooking spray, and heat to medium-high heat.
Pour mixture into hot skillet. Heat until edges appear brown. Then turn over and cook the hotcake through.
May top with no-sugar-added jelly or sugar-free syrup. Easy to roll up and eat on-the-run!
Serves 2

Okay I keep seeing the "i want the excel spreadsheet" thread growing. If you want a spreadsheet put a little work in and submit a recipe. I need more recipes to make this thing work.

I always wondered if the excel sheet really existed. I think it's great that you are putting one together emoticon I don't have any breakfast recipes (I tend to be a cereal or eggs and toast person...something someone who is 1/2 asleep can fix quickly). I do have some for lunch/dinner/snacks, though. I'll check back and post those when it's time emoticon

This recipe may not be PC for some but I am a Hunter/Sportsman and I eat what I harvest.

VENISON FAJITAS

Marimade ( I got this from texascooking.com)
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup tequila ( you can use another citrus juice if you like )
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbls minced fresh cilantro (1 tsp dry)
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1-1/12 lb free range venison sliced thin (my choice, you can use any lean protein)

Combile all ingredients and mix well. Pour over meat in a shallow glass, plastic, or other non-reactive container (I use a 1 gal ziplock bag that can be tossed after use). refrigerate for 1-2 hours if you slice the meat, overnight if you don't.

Clean and slice into strips
1 green pepper
1 red, yellow, orange pepper optional
1 med to large onion

Saute the pepper and onion until the onions start to carmelize. Drain and discard the marinade. In a large skillit (if you sliced the meat, or on the grill if you didn't) cook the meat until done to your taste.

Place the cooked meat on a platter and put the pepper and onion in a ring around the meat (this makes the dish look nice on the table).

Serve with warm Wheat tortillas, shaved lettuce, shreaded low or no-fat cheese, and low or no-fat sour cream and guacamole.

Makes 4 to 5 servings

French Toast

Number of Servings: 1 (2 slices french toast)

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup egg beaters
- 1/8 cup skim milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- non-stick cooking spray
- 2 pieces whole wheat bread

Directions
Heat a skillet sprayed with cooking spray over medium-high heat.
In a shallow bowl/dish, combine the first four ingredients. Mix together well.
Quickly dip the first piece of bread flat in the bowl, letting it soak up the liquid, but not so much that it falls apart. Do this on both sides. Put the bread on the skillet, cooking it on both sides until browned. Repeat this process with the next piece of bread.
Put on a plate and eat! It tastes extra great topped with one of the following: fresh fruit, pure maple syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped cream.
Makes 2 pieces of french toast, or 1 serving.

Deerhunter Thanks for that venison recipe. Never had it but I hear it is very lean. I will add it to the sheet.

Jennifer I am not sure why I never thought of doing this with the egg whites. This sounds so great. I am going to add this to the sheet and try it out this week.

scorpion Thanks for your recipes. I will add them as well.

For this week lets try to get some lunch recipes. Any recipes for lunch will be great. Let's try to get some lunches that you can make and take to work with minimal effort. You can also submit regular cooked typed lunches.

Let's keep them coming folks. The spread sheet is coming together. My wife and I used one of the recipes off of it Saturday night. Works Great!!!

Jason, quick question. Are you looking for healthy recipes in general or do you have a program in mind (ie, P90X)? I'll post some lunches later today when I get a few minutes.
Report Post Report Post

This started out as just a spread sheet of healthy recipes. However, if you have a recipe that pertains to a specific plan that would be great. I will add in the spread which plans they belong too. You will be able to click in say "P90X" and get all the recipes for that or "Slim in 6" and get recipes for that.

If the recipe is just a healthy one then you can just add "Healthy Recipe" to the first line or "HR".

Got any lunch ones?

I have been scouring (is that how you spell it?) the other threads for other recipes. I have been slowly filling it in. It's coming together.

I do have some healthy lunches. I'm really short on time this afternoon, but will try to get them together and post them tomorrow.

That sounds great. As you can see there aren't too many people throwing recipes in here. That's okay. I'll keep searching and plugging the ones I find into the sheet. Any new ones you have would be great.

Hey Jason. The French Toast was delish! I hope you like it as much as I did. It's gonna be a common recipe in our house. I have several recipes, I just don't have all the Nutritional Info. to go along with 'em. I'll do some recipe calculating and list some more a bit later. You guys take care! emoticon
