Spice Pancakes
I haven't gotten around to trying this one yet, but I plan to very soon. These look like they would be a good energy food that can be worked in for loosing, or maintaining by controlling quantity

Ingredients:

2 eggs (you can probably swap this out for tofu if you are looking to cut cholesterol)
2 c. all purpose flour
1 c. milk (or you can use soy milk instead)
4 T. vegetable oil
6 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3 T. sugar
1 c. applesauce
Pinch of ginger (or allspice if you don't have ginger)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

Directions:

Mix all ingredients. Lightly coat a large skillet with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat. Flip the pancakes when they start to bubble. This makes a large batch that freezes and reheats well and they smell wonderful!

Here's another one that is good for coming up in weight. You can use during maintaining weight but you'll want to closely monitor your portions. It's got plenty of carbs in it.

Boston Baked Beans for the Crock Pot,
Vegetarian Style

· 2 1/2 cups dried navy or kidney beans, soaked 5 hours
· 1/3 cup molasses
· 1/4 cup brown sugar
· 1 Tablespoon dry mustard
· 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
· 1 teaspoon Bakon yeast (available at health food stores)
· 2 teaspoons tamari
· 2 medium onions, chopped into large pieces
· 2 bay leaves
· 3 cloves garlic, minced
· 1 teaspoon salt
· freshly cracked pepper

After soaking the beans overnight (at least 5 hours), drain the beans, cover with fresh water, and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Then drain again. Whisk together the molasses, sugar, mustard, cayenne, Bakon yeast, and tamari in a bowl, then mix with the beans and add the onions, bay leaves, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Place in a crock pot and add water to cover the beans. Cover and cook on low until the beans are very soft, 7 to 8 hours. Check periodically and add more water, if needed, to keep the beans from drying out.

Serves 6.

Anyone want to have a go at making a healthy pizza? I know people say that pizza's are actually healthy for you, but I am not so sure and admit I haven't researched it at all. So before I start googling healthy pizza and its combinations, anyone have any tips, recipes to begin with?

I'll begin with the obvious, make it whole wheat and don't have 6 orange pop with it. That's a start...anyone care to add?

Pizza!!!!

Make your own Tomatoe paste instead of using the ones in the shops which are loaded with sugar/additives and use a variety of vege's and lean meats would be my best guess.
