Low Calorie Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup


So lets be honest.. who doesn't love grilled cheese and tomato soup?! The only downside is that usually things smothered in butter are high in calories. Well, I have a solution that will make your taste buds happy. You will all be thanking me especially now that the cooler weather is approaching. Grilled cheese and tomato soup is one of my favorite cooler weather foods.

Calories for this meal: 328
Calories for if you have the entire can of soup instead of just half: 440
Calories for if you have an extra slice of cheese: 418
Calories for the whole can and an extra slice of cheese: 530

Ingredients:

  • Great Value (Walmart brand) tomato soup. (average size can is 90 calories per serving for 2.5 servings or 225 for the whole can)
  • Sara Lee Soft & Smooth Whole Grain White bread (120 calories for 2 slices)
  • Slice of cheddar cheese (I get pre sliced and its 90 calories for one slice)
  • I can't believe it's not butter spray (it says 0 calories but I estimate it is about 5 calories for spraying the bread)
  • Garlic salt
  • Pepper
Instructions:
  1. Get your tomato soup cookin!
  2. Instead of slathering your bread with butter like you would normally do.. just spray the outside pieces of bread with your butter spray.
  3. Place the "buttered" side down on a skillet, add your slice of cheese, sprinkle a little garlic salt seasoning on top (to taste) and put your last slice of bread over the cheese, "buttered" side up.
  4. Grill it like you would normally make a grilled cheese!
  5. Serve up your soup, topped with a little pepper, and grilled cheese and enjoy!

Daddy's Sunday Pancakes

This is the recipe my dad used to make us all the time when we were younger. EVERY Sunday he would wake us up early and make us pancakes, eggs, and bacon. We get this special syrup from our family back in Maryland. I don't think they sell it anywhere in Utah. It's a shame.. because this is the worlds most amazing syrup.. I love love love it! My grandparents ship it out to us in boxes because we love it so much. It is definitely my favorite thing to top off the amazing pancakes. Anyways... the recipe! ☺ Ingredients: • 4 cups of flour • 6 tsp baking powder • 1 tsp salt • 2 Tbsp sugar • 4 eggs • 2 ½ cups of milk Instructions: 1. Mix everything together 2. Cook on a skillet or frying pan (whatever works) until bubbly. I find that cooking it on medium heat works best. And as soon as it is getting pretty bubbly just flip it! 3. Top it off with whatever pancake stuff you like and then eat! ENJOY! thanks for reading!

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Well, its St. Patricks day... so I decided to try my hand at making corned beef and cabbage. I have never made it before but I was very very pleasently surprised with how it turned out. Corned beef is one of my husbands absolute favorite foods, and he says the way I cooked it was the best he has ever had. I also liked it, especially for my first time ever eating it. Here is how its done! Ingredients: Package of corned beef (you can get it at Walmart, Harmons, Smiths, most grocery stores) Salt Water 1 head of cabbage Instructions: (Now to make your own corned beef from scratch it literally takes 7-10 days to cure.. so that is why I (and most people) buy it packaged.) Take your corned beef and trim off a little bit of the fat on top. Me and my husband both have texture issues.. and it didn't seem to affect how moist the meat was. And honestly you can skip this step if it seems like too much of a pain, all the fat dissolved off anyways. Take a rack (I used a co...
