Cauliflower with Carrot "Cheese" Sauce

I saw this on Rachael Ray and decided I had to give it a try. I remember watching this guy- "The Galloping Gourmet" when I was a kid and remember how funny he was-- and still is. When I saw him on this episode of RR, he said he's recently decided to make a real change in the way he cooks and make things a lot healthier. This is a great alternative to using "Cheez Whiz" on your cauliflower and/or broccoli. That stuff is loaded with all kinds of preservatives and fat. Check out the nutrition facts of this recipe at the bottom of the link- Very impressive, I thought.

Hope you'll give this a try....

My suggestion:

Do not turn your burner very high when steaming your carrots w/ the evaporated milk. It will make a horrible brown crust on the inside of your pan! Not fun to clean up!

Turkey and Black Bean Enchiladas

We had these tonight with a green salad on the side. We both really enjoyed these. I do have to confess that I took a couple of shortcuts though.

My changes:

-I used store-bought enchilada sauce instead of her sauce recipe. (I couldn't find a couple of the ingredients at Target.)

-Omitted the onion and green chiles

I thought these were a great substitute for typical beef enchiladas which have a lot more fat and calories. Very filling too!

Low-Calorie Dessert Ideas

I love this site from The Biggest Loser! They have a lot of great recipes and ideas.

I just tried out one of the low-cal dessert ideas and liked it a lot. I did the sugar-free chocolate pudding with a little peanut butter mixed in. Yum! Hope this list gives you a few ideas to try!

Honey Rosemary Chicken

I made this quite a while ago and just haven't posted it until now. We really enjoyed this and I will make this again at some point. The fresh rosemary makes all the difference in flavor! I also liked this because it uses such common ingredients that most people have in the fridge or pantry. The sweet honey mixed with lemon juice, dijon and rosemary is just lovely! I made this with rice mixed with toasted slivered almonds and a little of the sauce on top.
