muffintop-less:

Clean Eating Pumpkin Fries
(Makes approximately 8 servings)

Ingredients

2 sugar pie pumpkins = approximately 8 cups when cut

Savory Spice Mix

2 tsp. curry powder

2 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1 tsp onion powder

1 tbsp. olive oil

Sweet Spice Mix

2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (no sugar added)

2 tbsp. maple syrup

Directions

Prep: preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 1 – Cut the pumpkins in half and remove the seeds.

Step 2 – Remove the skins with a potato peeler. (Careful not to get your fingers!)

Step 3 – Cut into strips, similar to french fries. They won’t be perfect, but close enough. About 1/4 to 1/2 inch in thickness all the way around is perfect.

Step 4 – Coat your pumpkin in desired spices (see instructions below).

Step 5 – Arrange the fries on a parchment lined cookie sheet so that they are in a single layer

Step 6 – Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the squash is soft and easily pierced with a fork.

SAVORY PUMPKIN FRIES

Step 1 – Place your cut pumpkin and olive oil in a mixing bowl.

Step 2 – Add 1 tbsp. of the spices.

Step 3 – Toss by hand until the pumpkin is well coated in oil and spices.

SWEET PUMPKIN FRIES

Step 1 – Place your cut pumpkin into a mixing bowl and sprinkle on your spices.

Step 2 – Add maple syrup and toss by hand until your pumpkin is well coated with syrup and spices.

I got a request for some low-calorie oatmeal recipes...

Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:57:41 -0400

Just a tip before I start posting!

Using plain oatmeal instead of the already flavored ones is what you need to do! The flavored ones are good, but they have so much extra sugar and calories. My preference is to go for just plain oatmeal and use fresh fruit, cinnamon and sweetener, peanut butter, honey/agave, raisins, or sugar free jam for flavor!

I love tea. It's there for me when I need a snuggle.

Peanut Butter Protein Cookies

i am trying to lose weight so i started this no bread diet and my mom keeps telling me it isn't healthy just not to eat it. so what should i do?i know it isn't healthy but i don't know how to moderate my carbs.

Completely taking out one food group is not healthy because you need a well balance of every food group, however it is how you pair foods together and the ingredients inside the food that make the difference.

You shouldn’t take bread out of your diet. When you’re choosing a type of bread to buy at the store, go straight to the whole wheat or multi-grain instead of the white bread. Whole wheat is much higher in fiber, vitamines B6 and E, magnesium, zinc, folic acid, and chromium. Read your labels to see if the ingredients say “Whole wheat flour”. It should be the only flour listed. Not “wheat flour,” “unbleached wheat flour,” or “unbleached enriched wheat flour.” Those are just sneaky ways of saying “refined white flour”, which is no good.

Also look for those things when you’re buying pasta, rice, cereal, crackers, pretzels, etc.

NO CAKES OR ANY KINDS OF DESSERT. Okay, having one serving once in a while is NOT a bad thing, but especially if you’re used to eating them a lot it is a good thing to limit yourself on.

Making sure you have balanced meals is a great way to moderate your carbs. Make sure you have only one carby food (grains, potatoes, beans, yogurt…) with a fruit or veggie (or both) with protein. It’s all about your decision making and how you pair things together!

I hope I helped :)
