I got my Hungry Girl book today and I simply love it! So many simple recipes that use regular stuff from in your refrigerator and cupboard! All of the recipes are super healthy but look super yummy! I can’t wait to start making stuff from it! Upon reading the different recipes, I can definitely see why this book is so popular and given 5 stars!

Here is a recipe that I am going to try for breakfast tomorrow morning:

Fancy-schmancy oatmeal

Ingredients:

1/2 cup regular oats (not instant)
3 tablespoons canned pure pumpkin
1 tablespoon sugar-free maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 no-calorie sweetener packet
Dash of salt

Directions:

Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small pot (use less water for thicker oatmeal, and more water for thinner oatmeal).

Add oats and reduce heat to medium. Stirring occasionally, cook for 5 minutes. Add pumpkin, maple syrup, cinnamon, sweetener, and salt to the pot and stir. Spoon into a bowl and enjoy.
Makes 1 serving.

This recipe is straight from the book and so easy! All of the recipes are given in 1 serving sizes. So it is super easy to multiply to get the amount you need!

I give this book 2 thumbs way up! :)

Ingredients:

  • Leftover grilled chicken (2 breasts)
  • 3/4 package mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 jar of spaghetti sauce
  • Leftover beef salami and ham (lunch meat)
  • 4 Tortillas
  • 1 Tomato
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray 2 circular pizza pans with olive oil cooking spray (whatever flavor of cooking spray you have on hand will work just as well).  Place 1 tortilla on pizza pan and spread sauce.  Then load with cheese and toppings.  Bake for 5-6 minutes in the oven.  Let cool for 3 minutes and then serve!
I had the kids help make their pizzas.  They were so proud and really seemed to enjoy the meal even more!
This is a very quick and easy kid-friendly recipe!  :)
