Re: Healthy Recipes that taste good.

Buzzie, I use the 16 ounce can but depending on the servings, it can be a smaller can. With just three of us at mealtime with this recipe, it had leftovers.

I used to serve the remaining portions of this dish for lunch the next day.

Thanks Tondi

That sounds nice Buzzie, will have to show OH as he is the main cook, I wonder if it will work with Quorn fillets instead.

Re: Healthy Recipes that taste good.

Do have your hubby check post 11 that has the conversion table.

I'm not sure that I know what Quorn is?

Re: Healthy Recipes that taste good.

Sorry I missed this Denis. A skillet is NOT deep fry but reg. fry pan but you don't have to fry in it. It's just a nice size to work with this recipe.

Re: Healthy Recipes that taste good.

Quorn is a vegetarian substitute, its fungus based and can be used instead of chicken.

Re: Healthy Recipes that taste good.

I was looking a minute ago, much like mushroom. It might not take as long to cook, you can probably judge better since you have cooked both before.

Heart Healthy Recipe from Martha Stewart I have not used this recipe as yet but may this week end. Should have lots to freeze in portions after.

Line a 12 cup muffin pan with foil baking cups. Spray the cups with cooking spray.
combine the egg, cheese, peppers, onions, and spinach in a bowl, Mix well. Divide evenly amoung the muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
