Orange Breakfast Muffins

Here is another recipe for breakfast muffins, good for an ‘on the go breakfast’. we all seem to run short of time in the mornings and while many still don’t eat any breakfast, which is not a good thing, since it has been accepted in may companies, that breakfast can be eaten at work, foods like these muffins, which by the way, are low GI too, are great to have on hand.

Hope you take the time to try this low gi muffin recipe as well as the Raspberry Yogurt Muffin one too.

Raspberry Yogurt Muffins

I must admit I’m not a huge fan of muffins but I do like these. They are great to have on hand in the freezer to take with you for a snack at work. You can use blueberries in place of the raspberries although I prefer the raspberries. And……..of course they are low GI.

Apricot Mustard Dipping Sauce

This dipping sauce is a bit nice too. and is a low gi recipe. I’ve added this to my collection, I think it will be handy to put out before a barbecue too when friends drop in, it’s so quick to prepare and the ingredients are usually on hand for me as I love apricot jam/jelly and of course Dijon mustard.

Apricot Mustard Dipping Sauce

3 tbsp low sugar apricot jam/jelly
4 tbsp water
1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Place all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir together.

Dip the vegetables and just eat and enjoy. You can blanch the vegetables if you like, I just like mine raw.
Very nice.

Low GI Cream Sauce, So Versatile.

This is a nice recipe and like a lot of the other low GI recipes is so easy to prepare and well accepted by the family.

Low GI Cream Sauce.

125g (4oz) low-fat cottage cheese
2 tbsp light cream cheese
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 small clove of garlic crushed
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp pepper

In a food processor, puree all the ingredients until smooth

The original recipe called for wholewheat fettuccine with tofu and broccoli sprouts but I liked it with either chicken and/or bacon and asparagus cut into pieces with a few button mushrooms. I’ve tried it with chicken and the bacon, both were very nice.

You know my family are having such a good time since I started this low GI diet, they are loving these meals and don’t know just how good they are for them either.
