This sorbet can be made using most frozen fruit. I had frozen mango on hand, so that's what I used, but peaches, berries, etc should work as well. This recipe is fast and simple, make before you eat dinner and pop it in the freezer for a bit so it can firm up. Ingredients (makes 2 servings):

Low fat chipotle? Sign me up! This chicken is lean but tastes higher fat. I'm not sure what the magic is but everyone who's tried this agrees. I used this in my Butternut Squash Breakfast Burrito Bowl but you can also use the meat in tacos, burritos, taco salad, burrito bowls, .... you get the idea. Warning! This recipe is pretty spicy. If you want to reduce the spice level, reduce the cayenne pepper and red chili flakes. Ingredients:
Directions: 1. In a food processor, combine all ingredients (except for meat) until pureed. 2. Combine meat and spice mixture and cook on stovetop until meat is cooked (I mix in the pan to minimize dishes) Nutrition Information (makes 4 servings):

The problem is that it doesn't save very well, since the crust gets soggy. Also I'll eat the whole thing. Solution: personal chicken pot pies! Prep is fast and simple, and since its a little pot pie it doesn't take too long to cook! If you want to cook for more than 1 person, you can use a larger dish and cook it for a bit longer. I haven't tried it, but I would add about 5 minutes to the cooking time for each additional serving. Everything in the pie is cooked, its just waiting for it to heat and the crust to brown.

Calories: 360 Protein: 33g Fat: 9g Carbohydrate 32g Recipe adapted from Avatar Nutrition As I was making this recipe to take pictures for the blog, my roommates got inquisitive and had to try some. I don't think that they were convinced that my cottage cheese blenderized concoction could taste like cheesecake, but they all decided that it was absolutely delicious. I would be surprised if the 3 servings I had leftover after dinner tonight are still there tomorrow. This recipe is easy and can be adapted to different tastes. Want chocolate cheesecake? Use chocolate protein powder and pudding mix. Cookies n cream? Do it! This recipe will be basic vanilla, and I'll probably add some adaptations in future posts because it is so easy and delicious!
