Shelly's Roast Beef & cheese Cucumber "Sandwiches"

Slices of Cucumber

Cold Cuts (I prefer low sodium Boar's Head brand)

Sliced Cheese

1 slice of cheese and meat makes about 4 "sandwiches" you can spear them with a jazzy food pick for parties. For ease of assembly the day of a party (great weight loss friendly appetizers) or for a quickly made lunch during the week pre-cut the cucumbers the night before and place in a Ziploc baggie in fridge.

Baked Zucchini chips

• 1 zucchini
  
• canola cooking spray
  
• seasoned salt, or other seasoning(s) of your choice
  

Preheat oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick foil, and spray with canola oil. Set aside.

Slice zucchini into thin medallions, about the thickness of a quarter. (You can either use a knife & a very steady hand, or a mandoline slicer.)

Lay out slices on prepared baking sheet, and spray tops lightly with additional cooking spray. Sprinkle with seasonings of your choice. (A note on seasoning, however - use LESS than what seems appropriate. These shrink considerably in the oven, and if you use too much it gets very concentrated. It's better to end up underseasoning and add more later.)

Place in preheated oven and bake 45 minutes. Rotate baking sheet, and bake an additional 30-50 minutes, until chips are browned and crisped to your liking. These are best eaten within a couple hours of removing from the oven, as they start to get chewy if left out. One zucchini makes one serving (1/4 C. - 1/3 C. of chips depending on the size of your squash).

Crispy Edamame

1 (12 ounce) package frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans), 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 c grated parmesan cheese, salt & pepper to taste. Bake in oven for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

chocolate truffles (from the Dukan diet)

Ingredients:

- 4 teaspoons of fat-reduced cocoa powder + some extra cocoa to roll the truffles

- 1 tablespoon of fat free Greek yogurt

- 5 tablespoons of powdered skim milk (or Protein powder)

- 2 egg yolks

- 5 drops of butter flavoring

- 3 teaspoons of artificial sweetener or agave nectar

Directions: Mix everything together. Add powdered skim milk until the paste reaches a firm consistency. Put aside in the fridge for at least 30 min (or if you can’t wait 10 minutes in the freezer). Before serving them, roll the balls in cocoa powder.

Asparagus Roast Beef Roll-Ups

This recipe is a great one to impress guests at your next cocktail party (though you’ll have to multiply it). It’s really quick and simple, yet it looks very decadent and time-consuming.

To make the roll-ups extra elegant for entertaining, wrap the roast beef close to the bottom of the spears, then stand them on a platter as pictured.

12 medium asparagus spears, trimmed by snapping off the ends where they break naturally

1 teaspoon prepared horseradish, or more to taste

2 tablespoons light sour cream

Salt and pepper, to taste

6 ounces thinly sliced or shaved extra-lean deli roast beef

Stovetop Instructions

Half-fill a large bowl with ice Water. Place a steamer rack insert in a large pot. Fill the pot with water so it reaches just below the steamer rack.

Place the pot over high heat, cover it with a lid, and bring the water to a boil. Add the asparagus, cover the pot (leaving the lid slightly ajar), and steam the asparagus until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on thickness.

Transfer the asparagus to the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain well.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the horseradish and sour cream until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Lay 1 1/2 ounces of the beef on a flat work surface or cutting board. Spread one-quarter (about 1/2 tablespoon) of the horseradish mixture over the beef, leaving a small border.

Place 3 asparagus spears at one of the narrower ends of each beef slice so the tips hang over. Roll the beef around the bundle of asparagus until you reach the other end of the beef.

Repeat with the remaining roast beef, horseradish mixture, and asparagus to create 3 more roll-ups. Serve immediately.

Little Smokies Turkey Sausage

Fat free Hebrew National Hot Dogs

Low fat chili (I like Dennison's 99% fat-free beef)

Crudites with ranch dip made with greek yogurt. I have also made a good blue cheese dip with a few cubes of laughing cow light blue cheese and greek yogurt.

Sliders (use a low fat ground beef - make each patty about 1.25 ounces and serve on Hawaiian rolls that you have cut in thirds horizontally so two rolls make three sliders)

Low fat popcorn (I pop my own and add seasoning such as cajun spice mix or ranch dressing mix)

for dessert, make sure you have an option that works for you. I like strawberries mashed with splenda and a plain cake and whipped cream. Everyone else can have theirs with lots of cake; I have mostly berries with just a little cake. .

I make an easy chili for my family:

1pound ground turkey

I red bell pepper chopped 1 green bell pepper chopped

1onion chopped

I small can tomato paste

1 can diced tomatoes

2 cans black beans

1 can chicken stock

a handful of chili powder to taste And garlic powder, salt, pepper..or if I'm feeling even more lazy I just use a packet of chili spices and disregard the directions on it! Brown the turkey I'm a big pot Dump the rest in and cook until peppers are tender
