Brownies (with carrot and spinach)

Now – they aren’t REAL brownies.  But they do taste really really good.  I give it a thumbs up on taste.  However, and this is a big however, if you are picky about texture this is not the recipe for you.  The brownies are more cake-like.  They don’t bake flat, so you have to turn them upside down to hide their lumpiness.  But I don’t care – they still tasted darn good for 3 grams of fiber and only 133 calories!

semisweet chocolate

carrot puree and  spinach puree

brown sugar

cocoa powder

margarine

vanilla

large egg whites

flour, baking powder,  salt

If they are warm, the notes say you can taste the spinach a little bit.  But cool, you don’t taste it at all!

Tuna Salad (with cauliflower)

This was fantastic.  Great texture and taste.  I’m sure if you are a diehard about adding sweet relish like my hubby is, you could do that too.  But this was YUMMMMy.
