This blog originally started as a place to put the recipes that I have been trying on my quest to lose weight. I've decided to add some of my thoughts as well as some of the exercises I've been doing, and even some of the recipes that are just down right good. You'll find healthy recipes I've tried, and even some I haven't. I hope this will keep me honest, and I hope it will also be helpful to you!

Thanksgiving: Stuffing
No Thanksgiving dinner is complete without stuffing... so, we of course had to have some... and we managed to find a recipe that was pretty darn good.
You can thank Hungry Girl for this recipe... if you haven't looked at her site, you should!
Save the day Stuffing
6 slices light bread)**
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1 cup fat-free broth, chicken or vegetable; room temperature
1/4 cup Egg Beaters, Original
1 tbsp. LAND O LAKES Whipped Light Butter
2 cloves garlic; finely chopped
salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme
Directions:
For best results, leave bread uncovered for a night or two, until slightly stale. Otherwise, begin by lightly toasting bread. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut bread into 1/2-inch cubes. In a medium-sized pot, combine broth, celery and onion. Cook for 8 minutes at medium heat. Remove from heat and add mushrooms and garlic. Season mixture to taste with salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme. Spray a medium-sized baking dish with nonstick spray, and place bread cubes in it. Once veggie-broth mixture has cooled slightly, add Egg Beaters and butter. Pour mixture evenly on top of bread. Mix gently with a fork. Bread cubes should be moist, but not saturated. If necessary, add 1-2 tablespoons of water. Cover with foil and cook for 20 minutes. Remove foil and fluff/ rearrange stuffing. Return to oven (uncovered) for 10 - 15 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Serves 5.
