Broccoli Bites

Most my recipes are from another source but I have then modified them to fit a No Sugar No Grain (NSNG) eating style.  I originally found this post via pinterest on http://www.staceysnacksonline.com/2011/01/broccoli-bites-for-kids.html.

Broccoli Bites are good for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  They make a solid snack choice and they are even good cold as leftovers! Also, it's only three ingredients!

Not the world's greatest photos,
but some pretty great food!

Time: 35-40 Minutes
Makes: ~8 "Bites"

Ingredients
2 cups of fresh broccoli (you can also use frozen stuff, but why not use the real thing?)
1 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese
3 eggs
Salt and Pepper to season

Equipment (aka Things you will need to wash...)
Medium Mixing Bowl
Baking Sheet
Parchment Paper
Spoon(s)
Spatula

Method

1. Pre-Heat Oven to 375 F
2. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper
3. Mix all three ingredients together (If you are feeling adventurous, feel free to use your hands!)

5. Make small patties with the mixture and place them on the parchment paper
6. Bake for 15 minutes
7. Turn the patties

Good Luck and Happy Eating!

No Sugar, No Grain, No Problem

I recently started listening to a podcast by a man who calls himself America's Angriest Trainer.  Vinnie Tortorich at vinnietortorich.com Because of this podcast I removed sugar and grains from my eating style. (For more details on my transition, see my post at http://lifebetweenthenumbers.blogspot.com/2013/09/summer-food-struggles-my-foray-into.html)

Since starting a No Sugar, No Grain (NSNG) style of eating I have lost weight and I feel great and look even better.  My biggest problem when starting NSNG was a lack of knowledge of what to cook that didn't involve sugar or grains.

I scoured the internet and book stores trying to find recipes that fit NSNG or at least that I could manipulate to fit NSNG.  I started making them and loved eating them.  I have been messaging photos to friends for a couple week and they finally asked me to share more than just a picture.  This blog is my attempt to share my findings/manipulations with you.

Good Luck and Happy Eating!
