Hint #1 – Never bake an angel food cake on the top or middle rack of the oven. It will retain moisture better if baked in the lower third of the oven, and always at the temperature specified in the recipe.

Hint #2 – An angel food cake can be left in the pan and covered tightly with foil for up to 24 hours or until you are ready to frost it.

Hint #1 – When baking a cake, try substituting two egg yolks for one whole egg. The cake will be very rich and dense, because the yolks won’t hold as much air as whites. This isn’t exactly a healthy tip, but it will sure taste good!

Hint #2 – For a light, moist cake, enhance your cake flour by adding 2 tablespoons cornstarch to every cup of flour, then sifting them together before you add to the mix. You may be surprised by the results!

Today’s Menu: Mozzarella &Turkey Sausage Flatbread Pizza

A hot fresh made Flatbread Pizza just sounded good on this cold and blustery Saturday. I made a Mozzarella &Turkey Sausage Flatbread Pizza. I used Flatout Flatbread Thin Crust Flatbread Heritage Wheat as my Flatbread. Love this Flatbread, it’s low in carbs and calories, browns up real nice, and has a fantastic pizza crust taste.

For my toppings I used Classico Traditional Pizza Sauce, Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Slices, sliced Black Olives, Hormel Sliced Turkey Pepperoni, sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms, and Jennie – O Spicy Turkey Breakfast Sausage. Everything combined makes one fantastic Pizza! A great alternative to high calorie and carb Pizza’s. This one’s right around 350 calories and its missing none of the taste of regular Pizza! For dessert later a bowl of Breyer’s Carb Smart Vanilla Ice Cream topped with Smucker’s Sugar Free Hot Fudge Topping.

Today’s Menu: Flatbread Pizza

“Ready for the oven!”

Homemade Flatbread pizza for dinner tonight! While at Walmart I came across a new item from Flatout Bread, Flatout Flatbread Thin Crust Flatbread Heritage Wheat. I love all their products all are fresh, low calorie, and low carb, and they taste great! An entire Flatbread Pie/Crust is only 150 calories and 27 carbs! That’s fantastic for those watching your calories or those with diabetes. I’ve left the link to Flatout’s web site at the end of the post along with another link that has Flatbread Pizza recipes. I used Classico Traditional Pizza Sauce for my sauce. Nice thick sauce that’s well seasoned, 40 calories and 7 carbs per serving (1/2 Cup).

For my toppings I used sliced Black Olives, Hormel Sliced Turkey Pepperoni, Mezzetta Deli Style Tamed Sliced Jalapenos, and topped it all with some fresh grated Dutch Gouda. It turned out fantastic! The flatbread toasted up just perfect. I baked it at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. I’ve found a new pizza, plus it’s a healthier version. For dessert later a bought a small block of Kraft 2% Sharp Cheddar so I’ll slice some off to cracker size pieces and have the Cheese on Ritz Whole Grain Crackers.

Classico Traditional Pizza Sauce

Traditional Pizza Sauce

Centuries ago in Naples, baked flatbread with toppings was first called “pizza.” Its sauce was crafted from simple ingredients like ripened tomatoes, olive oil, basil and garlic. Here, these same ingredients are combined with a hint of oregano and fennel to form a timeless classic.

Ingredients:

Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), Diced Tomatoes in Tomato Juice, Sugar, Olive Oil, Salt, Spices, Granulated Garlic.

Today’s Menu: Grilled Chipotle London Broil Wrap

I used the leftover London Broil from the other day and I had the begining of some fantastic Wraps! I sliced the remaining London Broil into thin slices and wrapped them in paper towels and warmed them up in the microwave. For the Wrap I used Flatout Light Italian Flat bread. Love these they are 100% Whole Wheat , High Fiber, and only 90 calories and 16 carbs, I left the info and web link at the end of the post. I topped the Steak with JB’s Fat Boy Chipotle Sauce, sliced Deli Jalapenos, sliced Black Olives, Lettuce, Daisy Reduced Fat Sour Cream, fresh Grated Havarti Cheese and fresh grated Smoked Dutch Gouda. After assembling the wrap and folding it I put it in the microwave for 35 seconds. The lean and delicious Steak along with heat of the Jalapenos, Chipotle Sauce, and the fresh and creaminess of the Smoked Gouda Cheese and Havarti Cheese just makes an unbelievable Wrap! For dessert later a Mango-Cheesecake Parfait that I had made yesterday. You can find the recipe for this on an earlier post from today.

Lunch: Chicken Wrap

Had a healthy and delicious lunch this afternoon. I had a Chicken Breast leftover from the other night so I warmed it up for my wrap. I then sliced it into thin pieces and placed them in the wrap. The wrap I used was a new one and one I’ll be using quite often from now on, the Flatout Light Flatbread. It’s 100% Whole Wheat and it’s only 90 calories and 16 carbs! These would make a great Thin Crust Pizza, looking forward to making that. I left the link and info for the Flatbread at the end of the post. I added Fat Boy J B’s Sticky Stuff Sauce to the Chicken to give that delicious BBQ taste and added Shredded Lettuce and sliced Black Olives also. This made one delicious lunch!

Today’s Menu: Fried Tilapia w/ Green Beans, Potatoes Au Gratin, and Whole Grain Bread

I had fried Tilapia for dinner tonight. I first seasoned the Tilapia with Sea Salt and Black Pepper and then I combined Who le Wheat Flour, Italian Bread Crumbs, and Old Bay Seasoning in a Zip Lock plastic bag and added the fillet and shook it until it was well coated. I fried the fillet in Extra Virgin Olive Oil about 3 minutes per side. It came out golden brown and flakey.

For my sides I had Green Beans, Idahoan Potatoes Au Gratin, and Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. The Idaohan Potatoes Au Gratin are very easy to fix and are just as good as homemade but with less calories and carbs. You can prepare them on the stove or by baking which is what I did. They came out delicious as all Idahoan products do. For dessert later a bowl of Breyer’s Carb Smart Ice Cream topped with Del Monte Sugar Free Sliced Peaches.
