Cajun Flapjacks

This one is a spicy favorite.

Ingredients:


1 whole egg
4 egg whites
¼ cup whole grain cream of rice
5 oz lean (92% or leaner) beef
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 pinch salt
1 tbsp Cajun rub
Pam or other non-stick cooking spray/oil
Your favorite hot sauce (Tabasco, Scorned Woman, etc)
Directions:


1. Take TWO non-stick fry-pans (one can be a griddle surface) and pre-heat to medium heat (add Pam or other no-stick spray if you have regular pans instead of the non-stick variety)
2. Add lean beef, cayenne pepper, pinch of salt, and Cajun rub, mix well and allow to brown

3. While the beef is browning, combine eggs and cream of rice in blender (hint: add the rice last so it does not sink below the blender blades)

4. Add liberal amount of your favorite hot sauce

5. Blend - you may need a long spoon to scrape up the cream of rice and reblend a few times

6. In a separate pan or on a griddle (either no stick pan or regular pan with some Pam added) pour out the mix

7. Allow to cook through until the top is not completely browned - it should be slightly "wet" (like an omelet)

8. Transfer the ground beef, which should be thoroughly browned by now, to the egg/cream of rice mix - pour on top like an omelet

9. Flip over half of the "omelet" so that the beef is folded inside, and cook until browned

10. Enjoy!

Chocolate Pancakes



I love this one. It is great for a change, but also when you are on the run - you can bag these and eat them on the road!

1 whole egg
4 egg whites
½ cup oatmeal
1 tsp cinnamon
1 packet Splenda
¼ cup water
Directions:


1. Combine all ingredients in the blender. Add the eggs and water first, then the protein powder, followed by the oatmeal, cinnamon, and splenda
2. Blend until smooth

3. Cook like you would an ordinary pancake (makes 2 - 3 medium sized pancakes)

4. These cook fast so be careful not to burn them!

Midday Treats


I make my treats using Ultra Size shakes. You can pick your favorite protein powder, but keep in mind these work best with meal replacements and not straight whey due to the fact they are heated and baked.

Re: Cajun Flapjacks

Spicy Lunch

Ingredients:


8 oz chicken breast
Tabasco sauce (or other favorite hot sauce)
2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp crushed, dried jalapeno peppers
2 pinch of salt
1 tbsp Cajun rub/spices
1 ½ cups of frozen green beans
5 oz red potatoes
Directions:


1. Combine the hot sauce, cayenne pepper, salt with chicken in a container and really roll the chicken breast around in the mix, then let it sit in the refrigerator for 3 - 10 hours (the longer, the juicier it will be)
2. This works best with a Foreman-style grill. Pre-heat, then slap the chicken on and cook for 7 ½ minutes

3. While the chicken is cooking, stab the red potatoes and cook in the microwave for 4 ½ minutes or until soft in the middle

4. Take the potatoes out, put the green beans in for 2 - 3 minutes

5. Smash the potatoes and sprinkle on a pinch of salt and the crushed jalapeno peppers

6. Sprinkle the other pinch of salt on the green beans

7. Enjoy!
