Succulent Sirloin Tips with Asparagus & Corn

What you will need for the sirloin tips

 sirloin tips ( I normally buy 2 small packs that way I have leftovers for lunches)

98% fat free cream of mushroom soup

1/2 pack of onion soup mix

1/2 white onion

1 green pepper

 

What you will need for the asparagus

1 can of green giant asparagus

any type of spray fat free butter

crushed red pepper

seasoned salt

basil

parsley

 

 

 

Start by putting your sirloin tips in your crock pot and put it on high

 

Then add your 1/2 pack of onion soup mix and the full can of cream of mushroom

Mix it up

Add 1/2 can of water (use the cream of mushroom can)

Cover and let the cooking begin.

 

 

 

Then go ahead and cut up your 1/2 onion and whole green pepper and set aside.

 

Once the meat has turned brown on the outsides go ahead and start your sides.

 

I start with the asparagus.

I put the asparagus in a bowl that can be cooked in the oven.

Then add my butter (fat free )(4 tablespoons) and all my seasonings ( don't go heavy, just enough to add flavor.

 

 

 

I then begin to boil my corn

 

 

Once my sides are cooking, I go ahead and add my peppers and onions to my tips.

Cover, keep on high. (stir occasionally)

 

After about 15 minutes take out a piece of sirloin and cut in half. If it is brown all the way through, it is finished.

 

Once it is finished, make you plate and

ENJOY!

Strawberry Delights

I wanted to share this recipe with ya'll today that is so simple and so delicious.

 

What you need

1 package of strawberries

2 packages of splenda

1 cookie sheet

aluminum foil

 

 

Preheat your oven 210' degrees

 

 

Start by washing your strawberries, then remove the stems and cut the strawberries in half.

 

 

Arrange on your cookie sheet

 

and sprinkle splenda evenly across the strawberries (make sure it is a very light layer)

 

Put in the oven to bake for 3 hours. (make sure the oven in 210' degrees)

 

 

After 3 hours put them in the freezer for about 15 minutes to cool.

 

Then remove from the aluminium foil and either pack them for lunch the next day,

 

or enjoy them right away.

 

I did both!

Honestly they are best right after they are cooked and cooled.

Snack: strawberry delights

Lunch: the rest of my You'llBeLookingGood lasagna (not a lot) and a turkey hot dog with low fat cheese.

You'llBeLookingGood Lasagna

What you will need

1 bag of spinach (frozen, cut leaf)

Ground turkey

Spaghetti sauce (low in sugar) I normally make my own but this works if you are in a hurry. My recipe for my homemade sauce is below.

1 onion

1 jalapeno

Skim ricotta cheese

Skim mozzarella cheese

Italian seasoning

Crushed red pepper

 

 

 

Preheat oven to 375'

 

Start by cooking your ground turkey, I add water to make sure I drain all grease from pan.

 

While that is cooking chop up your onion and jalapeno

 

 

After draining all the grease from pan add your onion, jalapeno, a tablespoon of Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper. Let cook with meat for about 7 to 10 minutes on medium.

Then add your sauce. At this point you might want to turn the stove down to low. Unless you want sauce spattered all over your kitchen.

 

While you have been getting the sauce ready you want to make sure you are thawing out your spinach. Once it is thawed lay onto what you will be cooking it in and layer it like it you would lasagna noodles. 

 

Then add your sauce

 

Then both cheeses (ricotta first)

 

Then repeat previous steps 

 

Then put in the oven for about 15 minutes. Remember meat is already cooked so basically you are warming up everything.

 

Then there you go, here is what I call You'llBeLookingGood Lasagna!

 

Recipe for homemade spaghetti sauce

 

2 large cans of tomato's, plum

1/4 cup oil, olive, extra virgin

Connor Bronx

I have been MIA this weekend which always means I was out of town (like every weekend). I went back home to the mountains for my daddy's 59th birthday, to see my family, friends and one of my favorite babies in the world, Bronx. I didn't really go picture crazy this weekend like I normally do, so here are just some of my favs. As you can see I am a little obsessed with this little feller. Watch out ladies!!

 

 

Some of my favorites, visiting more favorites Brooklyn  & Bronx.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is how the bf spends time when he comes to my hometown (Waynesville, NC). He always says he gets altitude sickness because the elevation is so high and he is from the coast of SC. Always makes me laugh because I think he just likes to nap.

 

I just love going home to visit, its a good way to get away and to see the people that mean the most to me and see little blessings like Bronx. Sometimes you just have to get away from the "real world" and act like you don't have a care in the world.

 

Tonight I am going to be cooking a healthy Lasagna and will share with you step by step tomorrow. So don't miss it!

 

Day 41:

Breakfast: pistachios

Lunch: grilled chicken salad with hot sauce as dressing

Dinner: I went to a cookout with my family to celebrate my daddy's and a close family friends birthday. I had a hamburger with lettuce, cheese, onion, ketchup and mustard (no bun) and baked beans.

 

Day 42:

Breakfast: 2 eggs and some grapes

Lunch: After church my family went to our favorite place in Waynesville to eat, Thai spice. ( As you can see I am pretty much obsessed with Thai). I had spicy veggies and chicken. ( no rice)

Dinner: I went to another cookout for the bf's sisters fiance's ( whew that is a mouthful) birthday when we got back home.  I had a shish kabob (steak, peppers, onions) baked beans, green beans, corn and a very small piece of turkey sausage. Let me tell you it took a lot of willpower to pass up all the rolls, pasta salads and cake. Well especially the cake because I baked it :).

Snack: non fat coffee yogurt

Lunch: veggie burger with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese (no bun)
