Black Bean Quesadilla - Low Carb
BLACK BEAN QUESADILLA
(12 net carbs per quesadilla)
Recipe makes one quesadilla
1/4 cup black bean, rinsed and drained
1 Tbsp. green pepper, chopped
2 Tbsp. onion, chopped
1/4 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese
1/4 cup Ole mild queso cheese dip
1/4 cup tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
1 Ole low carb quesadilla wrap
Heat an iron skillet to medium high. Lay out flat one low carb quesadilla. Place beans on one side of quesadilla. Leave enough room to flip over to close. Sprinkle green pepper, shredded cheese and one tbsp. onion onto the black beans. Close quesadilla matching the ends as closely as possible. Spray Pam or any non-stick spray into your hot iron skillet. Transfer your closed quesadilla to the skillet. Spray the quesadilla with Pam. Brown the under side. Carefully place a spatula under the open side and roll over slowly, backward, in the pan. This backward movement instead of flipping allows the ingredients to stay inside the quesadilla. If you try to flip, it will spill. Brown the under side. Once browned, remove quesadilla and place onto a plate. Microwave the cheese dip for one minute. Pour over quesadilla. Top with tomatoes, lettuce and remaining onion. Enjoy!
Below are the items I use to make these delicious, super quick and easy, quesadillas. They are a real family pleasing lunch or dinner. My daughter Sloane brought this recipe to me from college. I've made it ever since, about eight years now. Please comment to tell me how much you love them!

3-Ingredient Southern Biscuit Recipe
3-Ingredient Southern Biscuit Recipe
1 1/2 cups White Lily Self-rising Flour
2/3 cup or more buttermilk
1/2 stick frozen butter
2/3 cup or more buttermilk
1/2 stick frozen butter
Preheat oven to 425. Place flour into a glass mixing bowl. Grate butter into flour and combine. Pour in buttermilk to form a ball with dough. All flour should be in the dough ball. If too dry, add another tablespoon or two of buttermilk.
Turn dough onto floured wax paper. Knead with hands. Roll out with rolling pin, fold back over, knead and repeat the process again. Knead and roll precisely six times, this creates layers in the biscuits.
Roll out dough. Cut out biscuit with biscuit cutter. Place onto baking stone or pan with sides touching for best results. Bake for 18-22 minutes until desired browning is achieved.

Doritos Chicken Casserole

| Doritos Chicken Casserole |
As usual, I made a few substitutions to the recipe. They are listed below:
- I bake my chicken for 15-20 minutes seasoned with Pampered Chef Southwest Seasoning
- I use Progresso Mushroom soup (gluten free)
- I omit the Cream of Chicken (because it contains gluten)
- I prefer Sharp Cheddar instead of Velveeta
- I bake it in my beautiful Pampered Chef Rockcrok Everyday Pan
Please! Leave me a comment. I want to know how you like the recipe for Doritos Chicken Casserole.

Eat More Collard Greens Like This!
If you're trying to find a way to eat more collard greens with something other than pinto beans and cornbread, Eat More Collard Greens Like This!
On a hysterical whim with a blank mind and collard greens I needed to use, I prepared to cook dinner. I googled "recipes that use collard greens". I found a recipe from the Food Network called Spaghetti with Sauteed Collard Greens and Bacon. You can't go wrong with bacon and pasta, right?
I tried the recipe subbing the spaghetti noodles for some large rigatoni noodles I needed to get out of my cabinet. Can you tell I'm trying to use my groceries on hand before buying more? This recipe is DELIZIOSO! Delicious. Did you know?
The cholesterol-lowering ability of collard greens may be the greatest of all commonly eaten cruciferous vegetables. Find out more benefits of collard greens here.
Collard Greens are packed full of vitamins, anti-inflammatory properties and cancer-fighting goodness. You may think you don't like collard greens. Don't write them off until you eat more collard greens like this!
Successful sigh,
Tammy

10 Time-Saving Tips for Making Pink Popcorn
 |
| OUR BEAUTIFUL PINK POPCORN! |
Ever made pink popcorn? Me neither. But, now I have. I'd be doing you an injustice if I didn't share my 10 Time-Saving Tips for making Pink Popcorn that I learned by trial and much error. First, a bit about me. I have two personality traits that annoy even me.
1) I think I can do ANYTHING! Really, I can. I mean I hope someone don't ask me to lock myself under water and try to get out like the Great Houdini, but short of that, I.can.make.pink.popcorn. How hard can it be?
2) I can't say NO. If there's a need, I think I'm the answer. Sometimes it's just better to say "No, I really don't know anyone who can make pink popcorn." and go on about my day...unless it's for a great cause like the American Cancer Society and Pamper Your Princess Day and the person who needs the popcorn is a long-time friend! Because what Princess don't deserve a mouthful of delicious, sugary, dreamy pink popcorn!
Anyway, I'm schooled in the art of pink popcorn making so it's only fair I share the 10 time-saving tips my mom and I learned. Btdubs, my mom gave me the two horrid traits so she's always my project recruit! Ready to make some popcorn!
We tried several recipes. We found the best one here at Domestic Dreamboat. Her recipe coats 24 cups of popcorn perfectly and is DELICIOUS! After much trial and error, here's our 10 time-saving tips for making pink popcorn.
1. The way NOT to do it. Microwave in a Pampered Chef Rice Cooker with oil, butter, food coloring, popcorn, Karo syrup and sugar. The rice cooker is in the trash. Burnt it up! Don't try the microwave method in a glass container, does not work either. This is what you'll get...
2. Give your air popper a rest every batch (24 popped cups). Your air popper will wind up in the trash heap if you don't, burnt up just like the microwave popcorn.
3. Give your microwave a rest every batch (24 popped cups). Your microwave will wind up in the trash heap if you don't, burnt up just like the popcorn. Yes, we lost this microwave too!
8. We used Wilton Pink Icing Color. Worked well but it's difficult to measure. We had varied colors of pink popcorn which weren't really a problem....see #9.
9. We used Wilton Color Mist to supplement color (just spray it on);
a) to color some of the white popcorn we added, and
b) to add more color if our pink mixture just wasn't pink enough for princesses!
10. We produced 80 princess bags of pink popcorn in 4.5 hours containing about 1 1/2 cups of popcorn each! We made four batches of the pink popcorn recipe adding plain white popcorn every batch. We found one of our batches (after compression of pink candy syrup and the addition of 6-12 cups of white popcorn) filled 20 bags. Our time includes trial and error and success and we are not slow studies either.
A blown up air popper, a burned out microwave, five brown paper sacks and two exhausted old ladies were sacrificed making pink popcorn but no animals were harmed! I told my friend if anyone wanted to know who made the pink popcorn, please don't mention our names (we can't make anymore)! lol Pink Princess Popcorn was a great one-time experience. I hope the Princesses enjoyed every minute of it! Contrary to what this blog might imply....We did!

Pinterest Recipe Review: Fish Tacos with Watermelon Salsa
Pinterest Recipe Review: Fish Tacos with Watermelon Salsa
- Save time ( always great recipes)!
- Save money (no wasted ingredients)!
I found the recipe for Fish Tacos with Watermelon Salsa at dryhyman.com. I pinned it. This recipe intrigued me so much I made it the day after I first read the ingredients. The dish turned out beautifully, so colorful and delicious!
Find the recipe here. I did not make a single modification to this recipe. The salsa is very easy to make with a combination of taste from sweet to tangy. I used white flaky grunts caught in Panacea, Florida by my brother and sister-in-laws. Dr. Hyman's Special Seasoning added to the flavorful enjoyment of this gluten-free dish. I used my Pampered Chef Grill Pan to put a sear on the fish. Marking this one as a healthy family favorite!
Tammy's Taste Stats for Flavor =
1 =save your time, 2 =try if you got the goods, 3 =just so-so, 4 =close to Mom's and 5 =grab a recipe card
Preparation Difficulty =
1=kid proof, 2=easy, 3=worth the time, 4=difficult and 5=enroll in culinary school
Easy Mediterranean Chicken is a FIVE for flavor
and
2 for E.A.S.Y.
Took about 15 minutes including cooking the fish!
Never buying a fish taco again.
Making it myself,

Healthy and Yummy Breakfast Smoothie
 |
| I am not a medical doctor. I am in no way suggesting this tonic will relieve any diseases or help in any way medically. |
I love this quick, healthy and yummy breakfast smoothie. My kids like it too!
I know, I know! You were excited about WINE being in the smoothie. Wine would be a healthy ingredient to add. Wine is packed full of heart-healthy antioxidants and reservatrol according to The Mayo Clinic. I serve the smoothie in a wine glass because it's extra pretty and inviting to drink!
Click for the printable recipe:
2 Heaping TBSPs Rice Protein Powder (burns fat)
1 TBSP Borage Oil (an inflammation reducing fatty acid)
2 scoops Nature's Sunshine Ultimate Greenzone (provides 1/2 your greens for the day)
1/2 cup frozen sweet dark red cherries (antioxidant)FYI I created this smoothie as a result of taking Nature's Sunshine Ultimate Greenzone. I just can't seem to eat as many veggies as I should per day. Tammy's Healthy Tonic is a delicious way to make sure you're eating your veggies, burning some fat and reducing your arthritis pain.
Bottoms up,

Gluten-Free Chicken Alfredo
My husband LOVES alfredo sauce! I hate milk.
He has gluten sensitivity and lactose intolerance. I want to keep him feeling well which means he's less cranky (know what I mean?). He requested this favorite of his. I delivered! I used the ingredients pictured right down there to make this deliciousness gluten free and allmmoossttt (I'm stretching it) lactose free. I can vouch for him. I'm pretty sure he didn't experience any discomfort because I didn't hear nor smell any. :)
Is this the best Chicken Alfredo one has ever eaten? Probably not. Is it a very viable substitute of a favorite dish for a gluten and lactose sensitive individual? ABSOLUTELY! My husband enjoyed it or at least he said he did! Try it out and leave me a comment with your review.
Pseudo-Italian,

How to make Leftover Chuck Roast a Flavorful Chinese Stirfry
I had leftover chuck roast today. After making roast beef sandwiches twice, I wondered what I could do kinda creative with the leftover beef. I had asparagus I needed to use too!
I feel like a Master Chef after finding this recipe for Beef and Asparagus Stirfry! I modified it a bit and voila (or some chinese word I don't know). The result was this wonderful dish.
My modifications to Isabelle Boucher (Crumb's) recipe:
1. Use leftover chuck roast for the striploin steak
2. Add onions, chives and water chestnuts (my husband loves water chestnuts)
3. Omit the cornstarch and black bean stir fry
4. Sub the dry sherry for cooking wine on-hand
5. Shorten the cooking time because my beef was already cooked
Yummy! I prefer chicken over beef any day but I REALLY enjoyed this dish! Give it a try and let me know what ya think.
Pleasantly surprised,

Baby Shower Cupcakes for the Daddy!
My first granddaughter is due in 13 days!
Tonight is the "man-shower" for the Daddy
My contribution to the party are these cupcakes
I found these darling free printables at Embellish
I printed them on a sheet of Avery 8165 label paper
then stuck them to a piece of card stock for stability
Cut a regular straw into 3 pieces, slit the end and inserted the topper!
So simple....
Extra simple cupcakes using Pillsbury cake mix!

Easy Classic Vanilla Buttercream Frosting from Savory Sweet Life
The only ingredient not pictured above is the butter.
WHY?
because it's imperative NOT TO USE SALTED BUTTER.
Don't do it!
I think me and salt have a love/hate relationship
and...this time I hate salt.
Did I say not to use salted butter in this recipe?
I used Wilton "PINK" to color the frosting
What do you think?
I think they are girlie enough for a shower
and an expectant grand-girl
but still a touch manly
with the brown's and yellow.
Can't wait for our new arrival,

Make your Own Grilled Chicken Salad
I've always loved salads
I especially love LongHorn's Grilled Strawberry Salad
I also love Panera Bread's Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad
Since I don't live near either of these
I make my own and you can make your own Grilled Chicken Salad too!
Here's how...
The Pampered Chef Grill Pan is the "coup de grace"
when grilling chicken for a salad or any main dish!
I start by cutting my chicken in thin, long pieces
and then grill on the stovetop.
Takes about 10 minutes and done!
Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb seasoning is a MUST!
Sprinkle on your chicken while cooking
The taste is restaurant-style or simple perfection.
While the chicken is cooking,
prepare the rest of your salad.
I use this organic Spring Mix from Earthbound Farm
You can use any fruit you like
Today, I used watermelon, pineapple and grapes together
I love strawberry and pineapple together too,
fresh apples, mandarin oranges, fresh oranges
any fruit you like that is not mushy will work
I never use blueberries, don't know why?
I also add something crunchy too
pumpkin seeds, pretzels (gluten-free)
pecans, croutons (gluten-free)
basically anything I consider healthy
that can add some crunchy texture
Once your chicken is done
spoon on the top of your greens
sprinkle with the dressing of your choice
I choose to make my own.
Today I used pomegranate red wine vinegar (1 tbsp.)
combined with olive oil (1 tbsp.), lemon juice (1/2 tsp.) and
just the slightest dash of sugar
I don't measure these I just keep mixing until
I get the taste I want.
I also love lime dressing prepared with
100% virgin olive oil and lime juice.
Lime dressing makes the fruit taste so sweet
Any vinaigrette enhances the sweetness of fruit.
Balsamic vinegar and olive oil is tasty too.
Remember, to reduce the acidity just add a pinch of sugar.
I hope this helps you make delicious Grilled Chicken Salad
I believe the key is the taste of the chicken
always use Mrs. Dash
and the salad dressing
always make your own!
Enjoying some salad,
Tammy
