Quick Dinner for Four

Here is a meal that is a cinch to put together and is definitely a crowd pleaser! It is satisfying, filling and combines the components of a healthy meal: lean protein, whole grains, vegetables AND a meal that tastes great!

Enjoy!

BBQ Meatball Subs

1 bag of meatballs (turkey or lean beef - compare nutrition labels!)

3/4 cup BBQ sauce

4 whole grain hot dog buns

Heat meatballs as directed. Smother with BBQ sauce and stir until combined. Place meatballs onto subs. Serve with coleslaw and veggie sticks and dip. (1 cup carrots, celery, cucumber, pepper, etc with 1 Tbsp ranch dressing or dip)

Coleslaw: Stir together 1/2 cup reduced-fat mayo and 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar. Season with salt & pepper and mix with 1 bag of prepared cabbage mix. Chill for at least an hour, stirring periodically.

snack: waffle strawberry short cake

This snack idea comes straight from The Biggest Loser Cookbook. Speaking of, is anyone watching this season? Biggest Loser is the perfect motivation to do some "exercise while watching" aka anything you can do in your living room. Punches, kicks, sit-ups, push-ups, etc. - Hey, maybe pick up some new moves from Jillian or Bob!

Onto the snack:

Toast 1 waffle (look for a version with whole grains and no added sugar like Nutri-grain or Kashi). Cover with 2 Tbsp light cool-whip and 1/4 cup sliced strawberries.

Eat and enjoy!

Note from Tut

Hello campers,

The decision to cancel the Reunion was a tough one but we couldn't make

ends meet with the number that signed up. So, we'll move on!

We'll have to figure out other ways to keep the Endeavor spirit alive so

you stay jazzed about eating within the four-five-six range on the

hunger-fullness scale. The last couple of nights I've eaten way too much

- and that does not feel good. I found my rubberband ball and am going

to start adding rubberbands again to remind me that I don't like being a

7 or 8!!!!

Has anyone kept adding to their rubberband? At Endeavor 09 we made a

ball of rubberbands, adding one for each day of camp. It's a symbol of

our commitment to go the distance and take those small steps to eat real

food, not too much, change our deprivation thinking into satisfaction

thinking and move! It's also a reminder of how much we've put into this,

our investment.

Thanks to those of you who have sent your suggestions for tag lines! We

would love to get more. It's a fifty dollar gift certificate to you if

we pick yours!

Be well, Tut

Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal

The cool fall mornings make me crave comforting, warming foods...like oatmeal!

But not just any old oatmeal, I like to add a few things to keep my oatmeal tasting great and sticking with me until lunch time. And really, doesn't peanut butter make everything better?? :)

Recipe:

Prepare 1 packet of instant plain oatmeal (or 1/2 cup if making from scratch).

Mash one small banana and stir into hot oatmeal. Top with 1 1/2 Tbsp peanut butter and swirl in. (this should be sweet enough BUT if you need to add in a little sugar, add in 1/2 Tbsp of brown sugar)

Note on the Peanut Butter: Remember that we want Natural Peanut Butter. Ingredients should be peanuts and salt. (No sugar or hydrogenated oils)
