Happy Hallowe'en!! Recipe Contest Results!

Happy Hallowe'en, Everyone!

The results are in and here's what everyone who's entered a recipe in the Less of Me Recipe Contest has been waiting for.... It was a tough decision for the judges and we had a three way tie for first place in the Main Dish category!

The winners are....

Desert

Strawberry (forgo the Tequila) Margarita

by Jennifer D!

Main Dish

Buffalo Chili

by Jackie R!

The Main Dish almost had a three way tie with the Italian Wedding Soup and the Savory Chicken & Apples with Zucchini! It was *really* close. Those three had even votes from the judges and the tie breaker was how many comments were on the Buffalo Chili. Your voices broke the tie!

Recipe Contest Entry: Save Me From Takeout! Chicken Satay

Save Me From Takeout! Chicken Satay

110 calories; as displayed: 165

Main Dish entry from AshleyRose B.

1 Cup Nonfat Milk (you'll only use 1 TBS)

1/4 teaspoon Stevia

1/8 teaspoon red curry paste

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Pinch of salt

1 teaspoon cold water

100 g chicken breast, cut in to small, thin chunks (I usually end up with 4 long thin pieces)

2 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes

Creole seasoning as needed

Instructions:

1. Sweeten the milk

Mix 1/4 teaspoon stevia with 1 cup of milk. Mix well.

2. Assemble the marinade

Take 1 TBS of the milk and add it to a ziploc bag. Save the rest of the sweetened milk for later.

Add the curry paste, vinegar, salt, and water to the bag.

Moosh the marinade together - the curry paste should be well mixed.

3. Marinate the chicken

Add the chicken in to the ziploc bag and moosh the marinade so that all pieces are covered. Let marinate for

about an hour.

4. Skewers

Make sure you've soaked the skewers for 20 minutes so they don't burn.

Thread the chicken on to the skewers (2 pieces per skewer works great for me)

5. Grill

Grill chicken on the george forman grill until done. You can also toss these on the BBQ if you'd like. It takes me about 3-5 minutes tops to get these grilled.

6. Finish and serve

Sprinkle with a dash of creole seasoning if you please.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve with pan-stir fried cabbage that has been seasoned with a dash of salt and a dash of

on protocol hot sauce and a grissini breadstick. Alternately, make the chicken curry soup recipe without the

chicken. Save your fruit for later.

Notes: My fiance loves anything "ethnic" and one of our favorite meals is chicken satay. While on protocol, I am so happy I can modify my usual recipe to give me similar flavors without needing to go grab off-plan take out. The chicken on the skewers makes me feel like I am eating quite a bit - must be a mind thing. If you don't have curry paste, use a little curry powder and a little cayane pepper.

This is one of those recipes that everyone in the family will enjoy, so you better make enough to share! Susan submitted this recipe with instructions for how to make it for a whole family as well as for yourself while you're on HCG. She also said that if you're cooking for just one or two people, "You could cut the pot roast up into 3.5 oz pieces and cook that way. So when it is done one piece would be the correct portion."

Family Pot Roast

(321 calories the way she served it)

Main Dish Entry from Susan F.

3-4 lb Organic very lean chuck roast (with your 100g raw cut so you know just how much to eat)

Add on cup of water

Add 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar

Recipe Contest Entry: Italian Wedding Soup

Italian Wedding Soup

236 calories w/o the Grissini Breadstick

256 calories w/ Grissini Breadstick

Main Dish Entry from Jennifer D.

Ingredients in order of use:

• 1 T Minced Garlic (i used the minced in a jar)
• 100 g Extra Lean Beef (season with 1T Canadian Steak Seasoning and 1 t Onion Powder, pinch of salt)
• 1 T Homemade or Rachel Ray's All Natural Beef Stock
• Couple shakes of Worcestershire
• 1 T Dehydrated Onion Flakes
• 1 T Fresh Rosemary finely chopped (obviously you can use dried rosemary, lessen the amount if you're not a fan or omit altogether)
• 1 1/2 cups Homemade or Rachel Ray's All Natural Chicken Stock...you can always mix Veg and Chicken stock half and half for a milder stew....also add less or more stock depending on how you like it)
• Couple shakes of Ms. Dash (no need to be exact on any of these!)
• Couple shakes of Italian seasoning (find one w/ no sugar!)
• 1 t Sambal Oelek (if you like it spicy, if not, just omit...Hot Sriacha sauce would work too...both can be found in the Asian aisle at your Supercenter)
• 1 T Red wine (i love it for flavor and i figure 1T is ok since the alcohol will burn off...omit if you want)
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves

Preparation instructions:

Preheat pot over medium-high heat and add garlic

Work the Canadian Steak Seasoning, onion powder and salt into your beef. Roll into small sized meatballs

Add meatballs to pan and begin browning

To prevent scorching, I added a tbsp of beef broth and a couple shakes of Worcestershire, continue browning the meatballs

Add the onion flakes and rosemary followed by your broth....i figure all beef broth would be overpowering so the chicken or veg broths seem to work better.

Bring to a low boil.

Add Ms Dash, Italian Seasoning, Sambal Oelek and red wine

Reduce heat to a simmer and let cook until meatballs are cooked through and spices have melded together.

Add spinach.

Simmer for a couple minutes more before serving.

I've become a huge fan of soups as they are not only tasty, but so filling! I've found that they make great bases and are easy to experiment with in terms of various spices...Enjoy!!! ; )

Just THREE days left to enter the contest!

I've got ONE desert entry! I'm calling for those in particular!! Not everyone has sent pictures yet, so their recipe entries aren't quite complete (don't forget the pictures, K?), but I've emailed everyone to remind them of that...

The directions are right here.

Here's some ideas for the Main Dish:

• A crock pot recipe. They make little bitty crock pots that you can even take to work and let your meal stew while you're working. It would make EVERYONE jealous of what you're eating. :)
• A sweet and tart chutney recipe for the roast beef.
• Easy carry meals (for when you're away from home).
• Use some "unusual" spices - maybe Mediteranian? Lebanese? Japanese? German? Native American?
• Use some unusual liquids (Zevia, Tea, Coffee)

Desert recipe ideas:

• Orange glaze over an orange
• Raspberry jam
• Spiced Grapefruit
• Use some unusual liquids (Zevia, Tea, Coffee)

Again, I really hope you aren't intimidated by the recipes I post here - use them as inspiration or a jumping off point for something that you put your own "stamp" on. Use them to help rather than hold you back. We've all got different cooking backgrounds and places our families come from - pull from that (your Mom/Aunts/Grandmas/Dads/Uncles/Grandpas) and experiment!

Recipe Contest Entry: Buffalo Chili

Lest you all think I'd leave you hanging for lunch menus (And I may someday! ACK! You'll all be lunch repeaters!), Jackie sent pictures for her buffalo chili so I can post them today. Hurray! It sounds like a wonderfully easy recipe that could be done at work, provided you cooked the buffalo first. It would make everyone sooo jealous. :) They'll all want to be on HCG with you.

Recipe Writing Contest: Savory Chicken & Apples, Garlic Zucchini

This afternoon's lunch was absolutely FANTASTIC!! I'm sharing a recipe that I got from my Recipe Writing Contest. I can't sing it's praises loud enough - YOU MUST TRY THIS, EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU'D LIKE IT!!

If you like this recipe, please vote for it by adding a comment to this post!

Savory Chicken & Apples (190 calories)

100g chicken (110 calories)

1 sliced apple (80 calories)

10 drops toffee stevia

1/8t salt

1/4t butter buds

just a sprinkle allspice

1t jalapeno

1T milk

Pound out chicken so it's very thin. Place chicken in bottom of a ramekin.

In small bowl, add stevia, salt, butter buds, allspice, jalapeno, milk and mix together. Add apples to the mixture, then toss to fully coat them. Pour apple mixture on top of chicken in ramekin and bake 20 minutes at 350* then broil another 15 minutes. While cooking, make both the Garlic Zucchini and Balsamic Vinegar Sauce, below:

Garlic Zucchini (20 calories)

zucchini (1c=20 calories)

3 cloves garlic, cut in half

1t tomato-chicken bullion

Add bullion to water in steamer and bring to boil, add zucchini and garlic and allow to steam.

Balsamic Vinegar Sauce

1/4c balsamic vinegar

2 drops toffee stevia

Reduce this by putting it on the stove and bring it to a boil, then pick up the pan and swirl it around to check the viscosity. You want it thicker but not to cook it so long that it turns into a hard "candy."

When everything is ready, place apple chicken on one side of your plate, the zucchini on the other. Top the apple chicken with the Balsamic Vinegar Sauce and enjoy hot.

Jay's Note: If you are going to choose a different veggie, make sure you choose one that's pretty bland, as this dish has a LOT of flavor.

Recipe Writing Contest: Strawberry (Forgo the Tequila) Margarita

This is the other recipe that Jennifer submitted to the contest - no pictures yet, but soon, she promises!

Strawberry (Forgo the Tequila) Margarita (28calories)

6 strawberries

Juice of 1/2 lime

1 1/2 packet Sweetleaf

4-5 ice cubes

Slice strawberries into chunks so they get down into the blender blades. Add a healthy squeeze of lime juice. Add the Sweetleaf. Blend until good and smooth. Add in ice cubes one and two at a time until your desired consistency...too much ice could make it watery so try it with 4 or 5 max and then go from there. Pour into a tall glass and garnish with a fresh lime wedge. You could also rim the glass with some lime and a little Truvia for a little extra sweet/sour!

Recipe Writing Contest: Chicken (Forgo the) Tortilla Soup

This is the recipe that Jennifer submitted to the contest. I hope you try it out and vote for it if you enjoy it! She didn't submit pictures yet - but promises to do so the next time

Chicken (Forgo the) Tortilla Soup

245 calories w/ the Grissini Breadstick

Main Dish Entry from Jennifer D.

3 On the vine tomatoes

1 T Minced garlic

1 T Dehydrated Onion Flakes

1 T Onion Powder

1 T Cumin

1/4 t Red Pepper

1/4 t McCormick's Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning

Pinch of Sea Salt

1/2 t Black Pepper

2 T Liquid Aminos

1/2 Cup Homemade or Rachel Ray's All Natural Chicken Stock

4 T Fresh Cilantro

100 g cooked/shredded chicken breast

Preheat pot over medium-high heat. Blanch 3 tomatoes in boiling water, drain and drench in cold water, peel skins and crush in the pot with your fingers or fork. Add minced garlic (i use the kind in the jar), onion flakes and powder, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, rotisserie chicken seasoning, salt and black pepper. Continue to crush the tomatoes to your desired consistency with a fork. Add 1-2 tbsp liquid aminos (you don't have to be precise...I just throw a bit in for good measure). Add 1/4-1/2 cup Chicken Stock..again, just add enough to make it the consistency and flavor you desire. You can make your own. I use Rachal Ray's as it is All Natural with no sugar added. Add 2 of the 4 tbsp of fresh chopped cilantro. Bring to low boil. Reduce

heat to a simmer and add chicken. Simmer for 10 minutes more. Stir in last bit of cilantro before serving. Serve with your Grissini breadstick on the side or break into 1" pieces on top like traditional tortilla soup...so good!!!
