Topic: Tuna Frappe recipe

This has been great for my pureed foods part of after surgery care.

 

Tuna Frappe*

5 hard boiled eggs

4 cans of water packed tuna

1Tbsp plain Greek yogurt

1/2 tsp mustard

pickle juice to taste  (I added 1Tbsp)

Combine all ingredients in blender & blend until smooth with no lumps.

__________

The recipe's huge because I have no patience for just making up 1 can of tuna at a time.

*Frappe was the highest setting on my old blender :)

Topic: Buffalo pulled chicken-slow cooker

Here's a recipe I played around with. There's a couple things I'd try differently for fun next time, but this was tasty! It's basically hot sauce with the seasonings you typically find in a ranch dressing, without the buttermilk powder or salt.

This works out to about 9 -3oz servings, but I think you can scale it to whatever amount of chicken you want, this is just what I had on hand.

In slow cooker add:

28 oz of chicken breast 

2 cups of Franks hot sauce

1t of garlic powder

1t onion powder

1/2t dill

1/4t ground pepper 

1T dried parsley

Thats it. Once it's cooked, I shredded it, and left it in the sauce on warm until we were ready to eat.

i added 1/2oz of cream cheese to my serving and ate it with a couple of celery sticks and red pepper. My husband had the chicken as is on a kaiser.

Note: 

next time, I think I'll substitute some of the franks for chicken stock, and see how that goes. I think 2 cups is a lot of hot sauce, but on the other hand, wonder if the stock would cut the heat too much..

also, I'd add dried chives, I just didn't have any.

nutritional info: 

this is not a low sodium recipe, so keep that in mind if you are watching your sodium. I ran it through MFP, and a 3oz serving comes to: 163 calories, 26.7 protein, 4.1 carbs. (Not including cream cheese)

Topic: RE: Protein Hot Chocolate.

I've seen several sugar-free versions in the grocery stores lately.

 

Haven't tried them but was thinking they may be good mixed with coffee.
