Skinny Muffin in a Mug

This recipe was featured on The Doctor Oz Show and was developed by Jorge Cruise.  I was a little skeptical, but it actually tastes good & really kept me full for about 5 hours, which is a good thing.

Here's the recipe for the blueberry version:

50 seconds in the microwave!

                                                                                          
1/4 cup ground flax
1 t. baking powder                                                 
2 t. cinnamon (I only used 1/2 t.)
1 t. coconut oil
1 egg
1 packet of Stevia
2 T. blueberries

Mix all ingredients in a microwave safe coffee mug.

Cook for 50 seconds in the microwave.  Turn upside down on a plate & enjoy!

The muffin looks like a top hat on the shamrock!

Cut up with a little butter.

Smothered Chicken

I love to have a few recipes to fall back on when you need something quick and that you have the ingredients on hand. This recipe is one of them. I hope you give it a try soon!!


4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
garlic powder & seasoned salt
2 T. oil, divided
4 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (see NOTE)
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup bacon bits

Flatten chicken to 1/4" thickness.  Season with the garlic powder & seasoned salt.

In a large nonstick skillet, over medium heat, saute' the sliced mushrooms in 1 T. oil for about 3-4 minutes.  Remove from skillet.  Add the remaining tablespoon of oil & brown the chicken for about 4 minutes.  Turn & top with the mushrooms, cheese, green onions & bacon bits.  Cover & cook until the juices run clear and cheese is melted, about 4 minutes.

Makes 4 servings.

NOTE:  You can sub canned mushrooms for fresh and omit the sauteeing part.  However, fresh are so much better!

Gooey Peanut Butter S'more Brownies

Do you think they'd notice if I cut out a piece for me??!!

My DIL made these for a family function & we all loved them!!  I'm making them to send along for my son's bachelor party.  The guys are going to a cabin & I'm sure a yummy dessert will be appreciated.  If you need a really quick, delicious treat & you LOVE chocolate & peanut butter (not to mention the marshmallow creme part --my favorite!!!) please try these.  You will love them!

                                                              

1 box (19.8 oz.) brownie mix

1 jar (7-1/2 oz.) marshmallow creme

1 cup prepared creamy chocolate frosting

1 cup  creamy peanut butter ( I think crunchy would be good, too)

Prepare, bake and cool brownie mix according to package directions for 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
Evenly drop marshmallow creme onto cooled brownies with spoon.

Microwave frosting in small microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 30 seconds or until melted and smooth. Repeat with  peanut butter.

Pour melted frosting, then melted peanut butter over marshmallow creme and swirl with butter knife to marble. Let cool completely on wire rack. To serve, cut into squares.
