Extended Vacation

I may be living in California for the month of April!

I will have to give more details when I have them, but we’ll see. It may or may not work out.

I thought I’d post a few food items that I have been eating lately!

Roasted Green Bean Fries

Ingredients: Green beans, cinnamon, stevia

Pre-heat the oven to Broil.

Place green beans on a baking sheet and spray with Pam.

Top with cinnamon and stevia.

Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until crispy.

I dip mine in mustard(people think it’s so weird, but it’s goood!), but they are great plain too.

Oatmeal Pancake

While in California, I didn’t have access to a microwave. I’m too lazy to cook oatmeal any other way, so I did the next best thing and made it a pancake. It ended up being SO good.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup oats

1/4 cup wheat bran(you could also just use 1/2 cup rolled oats and not use the wheat bran)

1/2 banana

blueberries

cinnamon/stevia to taste

1/2 to 1 scoop of protein powder

2-3 egg whites

(depends how much fuel you need ;-))

Put all ingredients into a bowl and mix with a fork.(Use the fork to mash the banana). You could also blend the ingredients, but I like the thicker consistency.

Once it is all mixed up, cook it like a pancake and enjoy. Different flavored protein powders make different flavored pancakes, and almost anything would probably taste good. I’ve tried cherry vanilla and vanilla and liked them both.

    Mmmm…I love mustard!

  2. Those green beans sound really interesting. I could see how the mustard would be a good offset for the sweetness from the cinnamon and stevia.
