RECIPE: The Ultimate Post Holiday Turkey (or Ham!) Sandwich

A Dagwood sandwichImage via WikipediaWhole Grain Sunflower Seed Bread
Smart Balance Margarine
Smart Balance Mayo
Habanero Jelly
Jalapeno Dip
Onions Sliced Thin
Tomato Sliced Thin
Avacado (cut in half and then scooped out with a spoon)
Turkey or Ham (leftovers sliced thick!)
Fresh Spinach (lettuce) or Alfalfa Sprouts
Pepper Jack Cheese Sliced Thin


Spread the Non-Transfat margarine on both pieces of bread (to prevent sogginess). On just one side spread the mayo and about a teaspoon of jelly. On the other side, spread the (Meadow Gold) Jalapeno Dip. On this same side, scoop and place the avacado pieces and then the onion slices.

On the other piece of bread lay down the cheese and then the tomato. Cut the turkey or ham into thick pieces and lay over this. Lastly, add your lettuce on top of all this.

Now lift both sides of the sandwich at the same time and slap together quickly. Lay the sandwich down and press slightly to hold it all together.

Cut into four small squares and enjoy!

Easy Low Carb Diet Curry Chicken Recipe / A Low Carb Food

Curry in the spice-bazaar (egypitan) in IstanbulImage via Wikipedia
Easy Low Carb Curry Chicken

1 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Zero Fat Olive Oil Spray
1 T Smart Balance* or I Can't  Believe it's Not Butter (non-hydrogenated, no transfat)
2 Onions Diced

4 Skinless Chicken Breasts Diced (can be bought frozen and thawed) and visible fat removed.

1 Packet Chicken bouillon (paste is best)

1 10 oz. Can Diced Tomatoes (Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilis is best!)

1 12 oz. Jar of Chunky Salsa

1 Can Pineapple Chunks or Shredded (No Sugar Added). Optional: To reduce carbs even more, skip the pineapple. For an extra zing, add mango chunks instead!

2 T Curry (to your taste: hot, medium, or mild). I generally use Masala. But any kind will do.

2 T Dehydrated Beans (I use Fantastic World Foods All Natural Black Beans) for a healthier thickener than flour. Comes in a box.

1 teaspoon "No Salt" salt substitute or Real Sea Salt

1/3rd Cup Sour Cream (full fat or non-fat depending on which diet you're on)

2 Tablespoons Ranch Dressing 

Melt oil in deep frying pan. Start sauteing onions. Add chicken pieces and bouillon and brown on medium heat. Once browned, sprinkle with salt, curry, and dehydrated beans. Stir. Turn heat down to simmer on low. Add salsa, diced tomatoes, and pineapple chunks. Include the fluid in each. Do not add extra water. Let simmer for twenty minutes.

Just before serving add sour cream and ranch dressing.

Makes 8 servings.

Note: There are no potatoes or rice added to this curry to keep the carbs low. However, if you're not watching carbs, feel free to serve this dish along with whole grain rice. You could even add peas to the recipe (frozen taste the best).

*Chicken may be substituted with lean pork or beef.

*Smart Balance Buttery Spread: Excellent source of omega-3's, calcium, vitamins D, E, EPA & DHA.
