Food Recipes

from my own brain - I know there are other blogs out there with this on it. But I did just think of it myself one morning since I knew there wasn't a McD's or BK even close to my house. :) And yes, I promise there is an egg in that picture. The cheese is just melted over it. And, I know we're trying to add lo-fat, lo-cal recipes. But I have to add this one. It's so yummy! English Muffins Eggs American Cheese slices Bacon slices or ham Syrup (optional) These are easy, but so yummy. Toast the english muffin. Cook the egg to your liking. My husband likes his fried (and with a runny yolk), but I like it scrambled and patted down into a flat egg (like you get at the restaurant). Place on english muffin bottom. Add cheese slice while egg is still warm so it can slightly melt. Place ham or bacon on top and put english muffin on top. We use the precooked bacon and do 1 slice of bacon (cut into half) per sandwich. For extra yummyness, drizzle a tiny bit of syrup over the top of ...

It has been suggested by friends and family to make a "Lo-Fat/Lo-Cal" label for our recipes. I will do my best to go through them and see which ones are. Many of them can be made lo-fat/lo-cal by just changing the hamburger to be ground turkey or using lite sour cream, etc. I will go through them and make a "lo-fat tip" section for some of those. Others you can figure it out by adjusting the ingredients. For those of you who are authors, and have some lo-fat/lo-cal recipes, please POST them!!! I've created a new e-mail just for this recipe blog: jbeanrecipes@yahoo.com . If you have questions or want to be added as an author, please send me an e-mail to that address. Thanks to all those who have been contributing to our little recipe blog. We have 23 authors! It has been really nice to have such a great compilation of recipes. And anytime anyone asks me for a recipe I can just say "Oh, it's on the recipe blog!" So convenient!!!

From my own brain I thought of these one night when I was craving spareribs but didn't have any spareribs. So I tried them out and they've been a hit in our family ever since. 1 to 2 lbs of hamburger, thawed (1 lb makes 20-30 balls, 2lbs makes about 40-60 balls, it depends on how big you make your meatballs) 2 Tbsp to 1/4 cup finely blended oatmeal (almost like an oatmeal flour), I do this in the blender and then store it in a tightly sealed container and use it as I need it. Mnced onions (desired amount) dash of salt and pepper Add all ingredients to a large bowl. Mix and assess if you need more blended oatmeal. You want to make sure you have enough but too much will make them dry. 2 Tbsp+ is about right for 1 lb. And 1/4 cup is about right for 2 lbs. Mix well with fork and roll balls into 1 inch balls. Place in 9x13 inch pan (they can be close together.) The picture below is of 2 lbs and 60 meatballs. Cook for 30 minutes at 375. They may need longer if you are doing 2 lbs. M...
