From Jackie’s friend Ginette – thank you.

Quick alternative: baby food.  I just added apple/strawberry baby food to my regular muffin recipe and they were great.  Baby food doesn’t have any added sugar or salt – result a healthy quick food!  I have been adding pureed 5 bean blend to my muffin recipe and my grandaughter loves them.  A creative way to get vegetables and beans.  Experiment and have fun.

Plain Yogurt (any amount)

•  Suspend yogurt in cheese cloth over a container
• Refridgerate for 6 – 8 hours

The result will be a smooth, creamy consistency similar to cream cheese.  You can use yogurt cheese in dips, toppings, spreads, etc.

You can also take the dry ingredient mixture with you when travelling, then just add in the mashed banana, egg whites and vanilla.  I did this last year when travelling to a race.  I love the muffins during training and racing.  They digest easily and are very good.

Lean Ground Pork       17 g fat (6 g sat) 230 cal.

Lean Ground Beef       15 g fat (6 g sat) 210 cal.

Lean Ground Turkey     6 g fat (2 g sat) 140 cal.

We have been using ground turkey in place of ground beef and find that there really is no difference.  You can use ground turkey in place of beef in all recipes.  It cooks faster, contains much less fat (saturated fat) and calories.  I’ve never like chicken and tomato sauce, but with ground turkey, I can’t tell the difference from beef.  You can add TVP in the same way as you would with beef.
