My first attempts at cooking Healthy Chinese Food
My Veggie Fried Rice
The past two weekends, I decided to try something completely different..Cooking Chinese Food! I was never one that liked Chinese food when I was fat (I wasn't the veggie eater that I am now!), so this type of food never interested me before either cooking or eating it!
Now, I like a lot of the veggies and things in Chinese food, so I worked on developing recipes using these foods, but eliminating all the added salts and fats!
So far..I like everything I made! But the jury is still out on ginger in food that isn't one of my baked goods! (LOVE my Gingersnap Muffins!) Guess I need to ease into it!! But I do have a good NSA Soy Sauce recipe and that REALLY helps get the right 'taste'.
Pork Egg Roll Filling
Since most egg rolls are wrapped and deep fried, I opted for making just the filling. I will wrap this in green leaf lettuce leaves and serve with Brown Jasmine Rice and maybe some of my Sweet and Sour Sauce (with pineapple).
More pictures of my Chinese food and other recipes are on my Berger Bites Facebook page.

Cookbook Update to the update!!
I decided to do my cookbook of healthy recipes after all....I have been working on getting all the recipes entered (about 100!) and now am in the process of editing. My goal is to get it to the publisher by the end of February so they will be available before Mother's Day!!
It's not going to be really fancy, but I am going to include some B/A pictures of me and some other helpful information for a healthy lifestyle! Most of the recipes on my blog are in the cookbook, plus some that aren't on the blog. I am also providing sugar free alternates for those who don't want the extra calories in the natural sweeteners that I use now.
My cookbook will be called 'Berger Bites For Healthy Appetites'. (Thanks to my best friend for the title).
***UPDATE***
Had a delay in finalizing all my cookbook things, so it won't be out before Mother's Day, but it will be available this summer...more details on how to get one will be posted when the schedule is finalized!! Over 100 of my favorite healthy recipes...and some healthy lifestyle tips thrown in too!!

Gingersnap Muffin recipe - UPDATED
Here is my Gingersnap Muffin recipe updated with the version that I make now since I have eliminated most of the artificial sweeteners from most of my recipes.
I left the SF information at the end of the recipe for those who don't mind using Splenda or Diabeti Sweet Brown Sugar...
Gingersnap Muffins
(updated 3-2010)
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup steel cut oats
1/4 c. flaxseed meal (optional)
2 T. black strap molasses
1/4 cup Sucanat (or light brown sugar)
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
1 Tablespoon ginger
2 teaspoons ground cloves
2 teaspoons clear vanilla
½ teaspoon maple extract
¼ teaspoon butter extract
½ cup water
orange zest (about 2 teaspoons)(I like this added flavor, so I use all the zest from 1 medium orange)
12 egg whites
Preheat oven to 350o F.
In large mixing bowl, stir together all dry ingredients. In small mixing bowl (or oversize measuring cup), combine all wet ingredients except egg whites). Stir into dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined and all oats are covered. Will be moist, but not sopping wet. Set aside.
In separate bowl, beat eggs for about 15 secs with hand mixer. Stir into oat mixture and combine well with mixer.
Allow to sit for 15 minutes while oven heats and you prepare the baking pan.
Spray and wipe out a large capacity 6 muffin pan. Divide batter into each section. It is OK if it fills above the rim.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pan. Freeze.
Makes (6) Servings of 2 oz. Protein A and ½ cup Carb B
For a sugar free version, use this instead of the Sucanat and the molasses:
[½ cup Diabeti Sweet Brown Sugar Substitute*
(*If you don't have this, you can sub 1/2 cup Splenda and 1/2 teaspoon maple extract for a similar flavor)]

I am using my NSA Soy Sauce recipe to make all the recipes that I post on here or are in my cookbook. Since I never eat (ate) commercially produced soy sauce, I have no idea how it compares on taste and strength..so you may need to use less (or more) to suit your tastes. I am fine tuning the amounts to what I like..and that is the amount I am listing in the recipes! Feel free to adjust as necessary!!
