Made a happy discovery this morning. Take a half serving, add two tbsp of eggbeaters, microwave for 45 seconds (stirring every 15 seconds) and you have an instant Mexican style, warm, yummy, cheesy breakfast!

High protein, low carb, easy goodness.

Thanks!

Stuffed Poblano Peppers

4 Poblano peppers

1 medium onion diced

2 cloves garlic minced (or 1 tsp wet garlic from a jar)

1 LB ground turkey

2 tsp cilantro

2 tsp cumin

1 tsp taco seasoning

½ tsp pepper

1 tsp salt

2 tsp olive oil

6 oz shredded cheddar (or cheese of your choice)

Broil whole peppers in the oven (or on stove if you have a gas stove) till charred on all sides. Peel pepper, let cool and slice each pepper in half (from tip to stem). De-seed and reserve. (If you love spice, add some seeds back to the turkey mixture, but beware, they pack a punch).

Combine raw turkey with all seasonings (and seeds if you are using).

In a non-stick frying pan, heat olive oil till it shimmers and add onion and garlic, coo****il fragrant. Add raw turkey mixture and coo****il no longer pink. Break up the turkey as it cooks into very small morsels.

Transfer turkey to a heat proof bowl and add half the cheese. Stir until combined. Divide between the 8 pepper halves. Pop in a 350 oven for about 15 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and return to oven for about 5 minutes until cheese melts. Serve.

Anyone tried it?? Any comments

Make your own Greek Yogurt

you will need:

crock pot

whisk

Any plain small container of yogurt with LIVE ACTIVE CULTURES (very important this is your starter to make yogurt)

1 gallon of milk (not skimmed or no fat) Whole or 2% or 1%

powdered milk (optional I add this because I like my yogurt thick!)

thermometer (I use a meat thermometer)

blanket

colander

coffee filters

6 or 8 oz. small containers ( enough to hold 2 1/2 quarts of yogurt)

I yield 2 1/2 quarts of yogurt from one gallon of milk.

use for smoothies, in stead of mayo or sour cream or eat plain with a little vanilla extract.

Store bought Greek yogurt is so expensive. i found out how to make Greek yogurt at home in my crock pot! I use a gallon of milk (any type but skimmed). I pour the whole gallon in the crock pot and turn the pot on to high. after 2 1/2 hours I use my meat thermometer to test the milk temp. 180 degrees is what you want. Turn off crock pot and unplug it. Let milk temp reduce to 110 degrees ( check milk temp. at two hours). Now add in 1/2 cup of your plain yogurt with live active cultures and 1 cup of powdered milk( optional). mix with whisk. replace crock pot lid. Wrap crock pot with a blanket and leave for at the least 8 to 12 hour( i leave mine overnight). The next step is to get your colander and line it with coffee filters. spoon yogurt into colander and place colander in a bowl(make sure colander sits up high in bowl so the yogurt whey can drain. after 3 hours remove from frig and spoon into small 6-8 oz containers. store in frig and eat at your leisure. flavor with what ever you like. I add 3 equal packets to mine.

I got this recipe off of You Tube. It's delicious and preservative free!
