BMT Omelette (level one, pro/fat)

This isn't so much a recipe as just an easy breakfast idea.  Fry sliced mushrooms, bacon, and halved grape tomatoes.
Stir three eggs (or however many you want) and pour over the fried ingredients. Sprinkle shredded cheese overtop and cover frying pan with a lid. 
Now, for some reason I am never able to finish an omelette properly, so they end up looking like scrambled eggs. 
Topped off with some hot sauce - YUM!

Sweet & Sour Japanese Chicken (level 1 pro/fat)

6 pieces chicken
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup vinegar
salt (to taste)
3 tbsp soy sauce
garlic powder, optional
6 packets splenda

Season the chicken with salt and garlic powder to taste.  Melt butter in a medium, non stick pan, add chicken and cook until they are a deep golden brown.  In a measuring cup mix vinegar, soy sauce and splenda.  Pour the sauce over the chicken (turning the chicken frequently) and let the sauce reduce and thicken until it coats the chicken with a gooey sweet and sour sauce.  ENJOY!

Whole Wheat Tortillas (level 1 - carb)

3 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 1/2 cups warm water

Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Add the water and mix into a nice dough. Knead until soft and elastic. At this point, you can let the dough rest for an hour or so, but it isn’t necessary. Pinch off a chunk of dough, roll into a smooth ball (golf ball size) with your hands, then flatten on a floured surface. With a rolling pin roll into a thin circle. Be generous with the flour to avoid sticking. Cook on a medium hot griddle until delicately beige and specked with brown. Don't use oil on the griddle.

Grilled Whole Wheat Pizza (level 1 - carb)

1 package dry yeast
1 1/2 tsp Splenda
1 1/2 cups very warm water
3/4 tsp. salt
4 cups whole-wheat flour

Toppings: thinned tomato paste w/salt and spices makes the best sauce. Use Fat Free Ricotta instead of mozzarella and loads of roasted or fresh veggies.

Place yeast and Splenda in large bowl. Add water, stir, and set aside for 5 minutes for yeast to dissolve. Stir in salt and flour. Turn out onto lightly floured board and knead 8 to 10 minutes, or use kitchen-aid with dough hook.

When done, you can put in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use or just use immediately. Heat grill, divide dough in 4 pcs. Roll out thinly. Place 2 pizza shells on a non-stick cookie sheet without sides or with sloping sides. Top with sauce/cheese/veggies. Put cookie sheet right on the grill. In about 2-4 mins the dough is firm enough to pull the pan out from under them. Lower heat to medium low and continue to cook until done, crispy and hot.

Mexican Bean Dip (level 1 - carb)

1 small bunch cilantro chopped to taste.
Juice from one lime

Taste and adjust to your preference.

3/4 cup Ketchup, sugar free
3/4 cup water
2 tbsp. vinegar
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. season salt
1 tsp. paprika
