Welcome!

As a person who loves food, but also tries to maintain a healthy weight and eat nutritiously, I am on a constant search for healthy, low-calorie recipes that do not sacrifice flavor, texture or satiety. This blog is a compilation of such recipes that are tried and true: all have great flavor and texture, are low-calorie, and leave me feeling satisfied.

Breakfast Sandwich

Inspired by Hungry Girl's Egg-Mug Recipes

Ingredients:
-2 large egg whites (or use 1/2 c. Egg Beaters; it's cheaper to use real eggs, though)
-chopped vegetables (I like onions, mushrooms, spinach and broccoli, but I often just use whatever's left over)
-1/8 c. 2% shredded cheddar
-1 Arnold Select 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Thin*
-I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray

Directions:
1) Spray a tall, microwave-safe mug with nonstick spray.
2) Put vegetables in the mug and microwave for 1 minute, 15 seconds.
3) Add egg whites or Egg Beaters to mug. Stir well. COVER TIGHTLY, as the eggs tend to blow up (I use a snug-fitting Ziploc bag, as even plastic wrap can be blown off). Microwave for 1 minute.
4) Meanwhile, pop the sandwich thin in the toaster.
5) To assemble, spray the sandwich thin with spray butter, place eggs on the bottom bun and sprinkle eggs with cheese.

*I also sometimes use low-calorie flour tortillas.
