First Post! An Introduction.

Hello, my name is Katherine, but my friends just call me Kath-feel free to do so! I made this blog because everyone is always asking me about my crazy cooking recipes and how they can make something both healthy and delicious without the excess sodium we always find as a substitute for taking off calories. I lost around 70 lbs using my recipes and now that the temptations of Summer are gone, I am still looking to lose another 40,-maybe you're here for the same reason and in that case we can do it together.
My recipes pile on the veggies and give you flavor you wouldn't believe possible to accompany them, this blog will include easy, cheap ways to make 100% fruit (no ice-unless preferred) smoothies, where to buy for the lowest cost, what to use, and I will detail all the crazy cookins I've done so far such as Cauldron Quiche, Bacon-pineapple pizza, the BAT (Bacon-Arugula-Tomato) halfwich, and many others.

This first week, I think I'll start with the BAT, it's an easy to make recipe and is a staple in my diet:

BAT Halfwich

What you'll need:
-2 slices Turky bacon-can be substituted with Smart Bacon, or Tofurky Smokey Maple Bacon (about 60 cal)
-A handful of Arugula (I don't count calories from veggies)
-Ketchup (pref organic) (about 25 cal)
-Hot-sweet mustard ( about 15 cal)
-1 piece rye bread (usually 80 cal)
-4 or 5 cherry tomatoes (N/A)

Directions:
-Get a plate ready and pop the rye bread in the toaster, warm up your skillet with some olive oil (pref spray-on) and on med-high heat cook up the two pieces of Turkey bacon to desired crispyness. Place toasted rye on plate, coat bottom with a layer of mustard, add the handful of Arugula on top of that, slice the 4-5 cherry tomatoes in half and spread those on the Arugula, then squirt on some ketchup and top with the two pieces of Turkey bacon. Wa-la! It comes to around 180 cal, not counting the veggies (which shouldn't be counted in my opinion). Have a great week!

Next week, I will, in detail, describe how I made the Porcupine Tofurky:
