Day 7

Banana Walnut Pancakes

Delicious! The only word i can use to describe these. It's like a banana nut muffin with syrup poured on it. What a great way to start a day!

Day 6

Baked Apples

I love apples. This recipe was made just for me (and maybe you). The granola on top makes it fabulous. I added a scoop of ice cream on the side. I felt like i was at a restaurant eating apple cobbler. Except less calories and in the privacy of my own home. Loved it!

Chicken Cordon Bleu

This was the most challenging recipe so far. The only problem i had making it was getting the chicken big enough so that it was easy to wrap around the ham and swiss. I think next time if I pound the chicken, it'll be a lot easier. I was really nervous that this wouldn't come out good, but i was wrong. These little suckers were wonderful. My family wished I had made more than I did. I will definitely be making this again soon.

Day 5

Jennie-O Taco Flavored Turkey Tacos

My aunt told me about this and suggested i try it. As another way to try things avoiding red meat, it was a perfect idea. The taco flavoring is great. The meat tasted just like regular taco meat. I was very happily surprised. I did not take a picture of the tacos, but here is a picture of the packaging.

Day 4

Western Omelet Potato Skins

 These are AMAZING! I love baked potatoes and I love eggs. This is like eating a breakfast burrito without the tortilla. I am unfortunately quite boring when it comes to veggies. I wish I wasn't scared to try more varieties of vegetables. So I did not include the onion or peppers. I replaced the ham with turkey bacon and turkey sausage.Yes. I know you love my plate. Hee Hee.
