Recipe Time: Healthy Lemonade/Limeade

This drink recipe is one sure-fire way to COOL you down in the extreme summer heat.  This is what you will need for HEALTHY Lemonade or Limeade:

1 Lemon or 1 Lime
1/4 TSP of Stevia Sweetener


Directions:

1. Cut up 1/8 to 1/4 cup of lemons or limes to your personal preference and place in an 8 ounce glass.  I used a slice and made a slit to place on the side of my glass for presentation (if you have guests at an event).  
2.  Fill water to the top of the glass.  
3. Add lemon or lime juice to the glass and stir in.  
4. Add Stevia sweetener and dissolve completely.

Question:  How do you cool off in the summer time?

Recipe Time: Kimmy's Tuna Concoction

Yes TUNA!  It's that thing that kind of looks similar to cat food.  SURE, it's good on it's own for maybe the first couple of days BUT AFTER your tastes buds yell "NO WAY, THAT AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE NEAR MY MOUTH."

Tuna is a great lean protein source.  It's also one of the most common protein sources people lean towards when red meat cannot be consumed in their nutritional plan.  I love buying fresh (the healthiest low-sodium option) but if short on time, canned tuna is another great option to have.

Over the years, I have experimented with tuna in the kitchen just so I can keep consuming it without gagging everytime I take that first bite (BLAH).  To my dedicated followers, here is my concoction.

Step 1: Open up your canned tuna (120 grams drained) and empty into a bowl

Step 2: Add in 2 Tbsp of Lime/Lemon Juice (which ever you prefer)

Step 3: Add in 1 Tsp of any hot sauce (PC Chipotle is my FAV!!!)

Step 4: Add a dash of Stevia (optional if the hot sauce you added made your concoction too spicy)

Step 5: Mix all together with black pepper and YOU ARE DONE!  

ENJOY!

Question:  How do you make your "Plain-Jane" tuna taste livelier? 

Recipe Time - Dry Cottage Cheese Dessert

Now I know what you all must be thinking..."DRY COTTAGE CHEESE? That sounds gross."  Did you know that one cup of dry cottage cheese contains 44 grams of protein?  Now that's a lot.

During an experimental phase in the kitchen, I came upon this mixture in which I thought turned out great!!!

Here is my healthy recipe for a slow-releasing meal (preferably at the end of the day before bedtime).  I hope you like it.  If you don't, well to darn bad for you.  Note: Cut the recipe in 1/2 if needed
