Seriously... these things were so good, I could have eaten an entire bunch, but I controlled myself, fear not.
Ingredients:
2 bananas
1 scoop of brown sugar (or brown sugar substitute)
2 scoops of Gluten Free Panko
1 scoop of Butter (or substitute)
1 tsp of coconut oil (optional)
Directions:
Peel bananas and cut into 1 inch pieces. Mix the brown sugar and panko with bananas and toss to coat evenly. Melt butter in Actifry (I used a butter substitute and the coconut oil to make sure it didn't stick). Add in bananas and cook for 10-15 minutes. (They will come out a bit mushy looking).
Serve with vanilla ice cream and be prepared to be wowed!

Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper and Spinach
Ever have a very specific craving? I had one for roasted red peppers and spinach. Weird, I know... but there are worse things to crave. This was a really good, healthy, filling recipe.
Ingredients:
Sautee chopped garlic cloves in 1 tsp of olive oil until brown. Clean and cut chicken breast into strips (or chunks if you like) and add to garlic. Sautee until brown then set aside. Drain pan. Heat 1 tsp of margarine. Add chopped spinach, cheese and roasted red peppers. Combine everything into a dish and enjoy.
I served this with Actifry Quinoa on the side and it was fantastic!
*The next time I think I may grill individual chicken breasts then serve the spinach and red peppers on top with cheese melted on top of everything*

Ingredients:
- 2-4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- Fresh Garlic, chopped, to taste
- 1 tsp of margarine (I use a substitute)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 Bag of fresh Spinach, chopped (it will reduce once it wilts while cooking)
- 1 Cup of roasted red peppers cut into strips
- 1/4 cup of shredded reduced fat mozzarella (or to taste)- just make sure it is not brushed with flour

Roasted Red Peppers
Did you know how easy it was to make your own roasted red peppers? I didn't! I have been buying jarred ones for years, but I am officially a convert to making my own and eating them with everything!
Ingredients:
Red peppers cut into quarters, seeds removed
Olive Oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 500. Place red peppers on a foil lined cookie sheet. Spray lightly with olive oil spray (I used my Misto). Cook until the pepper wrinkles and the skin begins to char- turning 1-2 times during cooking. (It will be about 20 minutes total). Remove from oven and immediately put into foil or plastic covered bowl to trap in moisture. Set aside for 20 minutes until they cool, then peel off the skin and enjoy!

Actifry Quinoa
Have I mentioned how much I love my TFal Actifry? This thing is a godsend! (I bet this would be a great alternative to fried rice if I added some soy sauce... I will try it and update)
Ingredients:
1 package of baby portobella mushrooms, cleaned, cut, and sliced
1 TFal spoon of olive oil
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1 tsp pepper, or to taste
8oz of cooked Quinoa
14oz Red Kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 beaten eggs (optional)- I did not do this
1 cup of frozen peas and carrots
1/4 cup of chopped onions
Directions:
Cook the Quinoa according to package directions; this will take about 15 minutes. (Optionally, use chicken stock rather than water when cooking the Quinoa). Add the oil, mushrooms, onions, salt and pepper to the Actifry and run for 5 minutes. Load the Quinoa to the Actifry, run for 10 minutes. Add the kidney beans, peas and carrots to the Actifry, run for 3 minutes. Optionally, add the beaten eggs, run for 3 minutes.
*Do not leave the kidney beans in for too long because they will open up and look a bit exploded... not that I did this... just guessing ;)
