This is an oven sandwich that I used to make often for my kids when they were growing up. They're delicious, simple to make and they use ingredients I normally have in my larder. So they are a bit of a store cupboard meal. Also if you use low fat cheese and mayonnaise, they are not that unhealthy. Especially if you serve them with some vegetable sticks or salad on the side.
You would be right in thinking that this is not something which you will see very often in this kitchen . . . chocolate cake. The Toddster doesn't like chocolate cakes, pies or cookies, or puddings for that matter . . . and with my diabetes I try very hard not to eat this stuff, but when I was having four missionary elders for dinner a week or so ago I decided that I would bake them a chocolate cake for dessert.
As I mentioned last week, I was challenged recently by the people from The Laughing Cow to come up with some recipes for the new year using their Laughing Cow Extra Light Spreadable Cheese, and leftovers. Last week I showed you some delicious Hot Ham and Cheese Rolls and today I am showing you a recipe I made for Turkey Monte Cristos, which you can not only make using leftovers (turkey and cranberry sauce) but which are also quite healthy in comparison to the original version!
I was recently asked if I would like to participate in a Challenge put forth by the People from The Laughing Cow to create some scrumptious recipes using their Extra Light low fat cheese spread triangles and leftovers! You know me, I do love a good challenge and this recipe here today is the first which I have come up with for them.
This delicious casserole is the perfect way to use up some of the leftovers from your Christas dinner, using up some of the turkey (of course) stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, etc. It's delicious and there is also cheese in the mix. Oh but it is some good!
Do you like sandwiches? My Aunt Freda loved sandwiches and so do I. They are one of my many weaknesses! I was really excited to receive this latest cookbook for review . . . "Build Your Own Sandwich," by Vicki Smallwood.
Have you ever wanted to take your sandwich making to a new and higher level??? My answer is a resounding YES! Build Your Own Sandwich promises to help you do just that!
I was sent some lovely recipes this week for Christmas Baking for the holidays from Dr Oetker. They all look so fabulous I don't know which one I want to try first. I think the Stollen Loaf Cake is looking pretty good from where I am sitting. I have everything I need in the house to make it and I adore Stollen anyways. I love anything which smacks of almonds and dried fruit! The Spiced Lemon Cookie Wreath also looks like a strong possibility. In any case I am sharing all the recipes with you today. Christmas Jumper Cookies, Stollen Loaf Cake, Spiced Lemon Cookie Wreath, Mini Chocolate Gingerbread Loaves and a Winter Forest Chocolate Cake! There's a Merry Christmas in the "Baking!" You know if the recipes are from Dr. Oetker, that the recipes must be great. They are the creme de la creme of bakedom!
My very British Husband is quite fond of telling me that eating peanut butter and jam together is completely insane. That didn't stop him from scarfing down three of these as soon as I had them finished though! (Me thinks he is a bit of a porkie pie teller and that he secretly LOVES the combination as much as I do!)
I know that all of my North American friends cooked their Thanksgiving turkeys yesterday. I also helped to cook aThanksgiving Dinner this year for all of the Missionaries in our District. Not too many leftovers here, but I know that many of you have refrigerators bulging with leftovers, and that some of you will be scratching your heads and trying to come up with new and interesting things to do with them. Here are some tasty ideas this morning to help you use up some of those scrummy leftovers. Of course you could just have a reheat of the leftovers, but it's also nice to dress them up in a few different ways too!
You Brits and Canucks might want to bookmark this page as Christmas is less than a month away and you 'll be wanting to figure out what to do with your Christmas Turkey leftovers then! (And yes, this is a repeat from last year. This stuff just never gets old.)
Bacon . . . it's something I don't eat very often . . . but when I do, I like to make sure it's a good bacon. After all, if I am going to splurge on a bit of a calorie bonus . . . I want to make it worth my while! More often than not, I will opt for a good quality, dry cured and oak smoked back bacon, cut thickly, with not too much fat on it. It's a real treat!
Controlling how much you eat can be as large a challenge as deciding what to eat can be when you are trying to control diabetes and eat smarter. At first it can seem a bit daunting, but with time and understanding it becomes a bit easier . . . the changes almost become seamless part of your life. What to put into your shopping card . . . how to count carbs, downsizing servings, etc. all are steps towards becoming a healthier person.
I made the most delicious open face sandwich today. Oh, but I died and went to heaven when I tucked into this. The "Peat" sandwich . . . or . .. the Pancetta, Egg, Avocado and Tomato Sandwich. A deliciously layered open face delight that isn't really all that bad for you!
Normally after having a turkey dinner I would be treating myself to a turkey sandwich with two slices of bread, mayo, stuffing and cranberry sauce. And enjoying it. My new lifestyle means that is a no no and so today I made myself something different. A Turkey Taco Pizza. Sounds hedonistic, but it really isn't . . .
I've always been very fond of turkey burgers. They are one of my favourite things. In fact I would rather have a turkey burger than one made with ground beef, and that's the truth. I recently made some for our supper and tried to incorporate some vegetables into the mix so that I could get in both extra fiber and vitamins, notably iron as I am iron deficient. They were delicious!
I added some whole wheat bread crumbs to help bind them together and I confess . . . a bit of cheese for extra flavour. (In my defense I did use the low fat variety. and I ate my burger without a bun.)
On the side we had roasted sweet potatoes, which I had cut into slices, spritzed with low fat cooking spray and some garlic and onion powder, plus pepper and then roasted in a hot oven . . . and a green vegetable mix.
Todd had his on a bun with a slice of cheese melted on top. He really enjoyed it. I made him eat some tomato and lettuce with it. He's not a salad nut, but if I give it to him he will eat it.
He also had some mayo on the bottom roll, plus he had all the veg that I had as well. He can't afford to lose weight. We were both happy with what we had. No complaints. ☺I do love sweet potatoes and spinach too.
*Spinach Turkey Burgers*
Makes 4 servings
60g of low fat strong cheddar cheese, grated (1/2 cup)
1 pound lean ground turkey

Cuting out sugary foods and high fat snacks is an important way to improve your diet and help maintain good blood glucose levels. It helps to have alternatives available when you are feeling that urge to snack on something or when your levels dip and you just don't have time to make a meal. Having alternatives at the ready and achieving a balance are really important for long term success! It's okay to have an occasional sweet treat, but in all reality, those need to be kept at a minimum, and it's best to develop a taste for nutritionally sound snacks.
