MAKE A SWEET TOPPING USING COOL WHIP

Raspberries topped with goodies

This snack has more than whipped cream, it has some more lively flavors. I did a research on raspberries, so I decided to make a topping for the raspberries to offset the not so sweat taste. Needless to say, it was just what the doctor ordered!





recipe  (yields 4 servings)

1/2 teaspoon finely shredded orange peal
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 cups fresh raspberries
1/2 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt
1/4 cup thawed frozen light whipped topping
1 tablespoon fine sugar

directions

1. In a bowl, stir together the 1/2 tsp. of orange peal dry or fresh

and the orange juice. Add the berries toss and coat.
sprinkle sugar over it.

2. For topping, in another bowl, stir together the whipped topping
and yogurt.
3.  Divide berry mixture among 4 dessert dishes.  Spoon some of the topping over each serving.
and add some orange peal over it.  Serve immediately.

HOW TO MAKE CREAMED CORN SO DELICIOUS

White Creamed Corn with bacon bits

I love white creamed corn topped with bacon! BACON SEEMS TO BE ADDED IN MOST OF MY MEALS.
It seems that for me,bacon make everything tastes so good.  I no that bacon is not healthy, but I broke the rule today because it's not everyday that I eat bacon.  I came a long ways because in the past, I included bacon   in the majority of my veggies, but I have cut that down to at least once a week, then it will keep going down to once every twelve days and so on, but to be honest, I don't thing I will ever stop eating bacon completely. 


Recipe

one frozen package of white cream corn,1 tablespoon of margarine,  and bacon bits, cook it together and serve warm.
That's it  with a hit.
I told you it was easy, and I forget to mention it is good too! Now, you have a good side dish to try with the family.

HOWTO PREPARE FRESH OUT THE GARDEN FRIED OKRA

Fried okra and bacon!

 It's okra season, the season I've been faithfully waiting on. So I  am  sharing this my way of making it  because it's to die for  This is an easy recipe I enjoy making for my family and my self. I am serving it as a side dish today because i love the combination of okra and bacon, yummy! If you love okra, and bacon, you'll love this dish too!!.  Vegetables is something I purposely serve at every meal, and I usually like to  exclude bacon but it is so darn good most of the time  i cant resist it.   

Directions

I cut up about two pounds of fresh okra from the field because it wilts a lot, but rinse it before cutting it up into small slices. Next I start the bacon slices in the oven at 350 degrees, and cook until it golden as you see in the picture. Take the bacon out the oven, then pour olive oil instead of the bacon oil. into a frying pan along with the chipped bacon. When the oil is hot, throw in the squash and stir constantly to prevent sticking and keep stirring until the okra is  very tender and a little crunch, then all I do is serve with a scoop of rice or it can be eating alone. That's it!  I told you it would be delicious.

SLOW COOKER LIMA BEANS

LIMA BEANS AND NECK BONES

Not bragging, but these lima beans were just as tasty as they look!  I cook beans a lot I guess because that's what a lot of country folks cooked where I grew up at and from what I understand, they are a great source of fiber and also gives energy and sticks to the stomach as my mother put it.  From my understanding, beans are good for the heart as well as fiber and energy.  These beans will go great with a piece of homemade southern style corn bread!
 
Ingredients
a 16 ounce package of frozen green lima beans
a small package of neck bones
salt and pepper to taste
water, and a small onion
1 teaspoon accent flavor

How to make oven fried fish

If you want a quick, easy, and delicious meal to try, I recommend the fried catfish with bread or warm grits!

For dieter, add a little salt to the fish and eating one piece of fish might now off set your diet too much. This is a picture of my husbands plate.




To prepare the fried catfish
First and far most, rinse the meat off and pat it

1. lightly season the fish with season salt pepper and your choice of meal, I use Louisiana fish fry meal
2. to deep fry, put lots of grease in a deep skillet and fry hard
3. fry fish until golden, pat the oil out of it with a clean and dry dish rag and let it get warm enough to eat.
4.  serve with warm cooked grits.
5. That was a quick and delicious meal with very little healthy ingredients, but I had my favorite chopped cucumbers and vinegar along with a banana to complete my meal.

MY JUCIEST AND HEALTHIEST HAMBURGER SO FAR

 

THE JUICIEST AND HEALTHY BURGER I EVER MADE

 

 

If you are like me, you love burgers especially if they're good!  I tried adding

low carbs to my burger which turned out really well,  So well that I'm going to share what i did with you. The  good thing about making your own burgers is you get to choose what go on them.  I made this burger the same way I did before eating healthy except I changed a few things instead of using bread crumbs, I used 1/4 cups of Quaker real oat meal, and I used seasoning salt  instead of regular table salt, instead of using white bread or white buns, I used the flat whole grain round bread, and just with those few changes, my burger was healthier and still juicy and delicious. 

This also can be done when preparing to make your own meatloaf .

ingredients

 

1/4 pound of ground beef

 

season salt and pepper to taste

1 egg yoke

 a large sprinkle of raw  oat meal

sprinkle of accent flavor

little piece of  chopped onions

whole wheat flat round bread

grill



note: We all no that  grilled and baked foods are always recommended instead of frying.
