HMR DF Enchiladas++

HMR Chicken Enchilada Entree
1 tbs nonfat sour cream
1 tbs salsa
Cilantro to taste

Sometimes you just need to fix up an entree that you’re getting bored with. I used to LOVE the enchiladas but lately, they just seem so blah.

Today, I used 1 tablespoon of NF sour cream, 1 tablespoon of salsa and some fresh cilantro to add some ZING to my entree. Keep in mind that the total extra condiments can’t be over 15 calories, so watch out!

I microwaved the entree for one minute as usual and then added the sour cream, salsa and cilantro on top. While it wasn’t quite like a regular Mexican restaurant quality dish (with ooey gooey cheese everywhere), it tried and I commend it for that.

Remember to use a real plate when you’re eating to add some formality, ceremony and legitimacy to your meals. Just because the food comes out of plastic trays doesn’t mean we have to eat out of plastic trays. Make the meal special.

HMR DF Pizza

I created this recipe so there are some definite trial and error things that need to be worked out still. My notes for future pizza makings are in this so you can try those yourself and see how it works.

Crust recipe:
2.5 Cereals with fruit picked out
2.5 70+ vanilla shakes
1/2 tablespoon of baking powder
3/8 cup of water

Note: I think I added too much water so added the half more of each. I think if you do 1/4 cup of water ish and mix it well it should work with 2 and 2 cereals/vanilla shakes.

Mix crust well and then lay out on sprayed pizza pan. Then spray your hands and push down and shape the crust. YOU MUST SPRAY YOUR HANDS!! Otherwise it will stick to everything and not form the crust.

I cooked it for 10 minutes at 450 and the edges were a bit burned (see pictures). I would try just five minutes at 450 to start it next time I do this.

While it was cooking I assembled the toppings.

Toppings:
2 Lasagna entrees
1 Ravioli entree

Separate out the cheese from all three into a bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon White Cheddar and a little Garlic/Parmesan flavor from Kernel Seasons. Mix well.

Separate all the sauce from all three into a different bowl. You can add spices to the sauce but I didn’t.

Then take out the crust and spread the sauce and the cheese on top. The cheese is lumpy so it is easier with two spoons to push it out and spread it out as best you can.

I added garlic powder, basil and oregano to the top of the pizza, but you could add that to the sauce instead.

I put it back in the oven to heat the toppings for 4 minutes at 350.

Note: I think next time, I can just put it all on together and bake it for about 7-9 minutes at 400.

The crust was a touch sweet but not too noticeable with the sauce and garlic. The crust was firm enough to pick up and hold like a real pizza. It tasted cheesy and was quite good overall. I had about a quarter of it for lunch and felt pretty full after so I stopped and am saving the rest for later or tomorrow.

I would definitely recommend this recipe for when you feel like putting a bit more effort into your meal. Also, keep in mind that I didn’t use the pasta, so unless you eat that on the side, you can’t count it as an entree. But the shakes are all there so that can count towards your minimum. It should be 2 cereals and 2 70+, for me that is my 3 minimum if I ate the whole pizza in one day. Or just have a slice and do it as more is better for that day.

Happy pizza making!!!

PS – See my Bread Sticks recipe for a new version of the crust dough that turned out much better!
