What I'm Eating Today.. (recipes: Turkey Stroganoff, Vegetable Beef Soup)

Woke up with a good workout... (I work nights, so don't mind that the AM and PMs seem mixed up)
7pm- Myoplex Light protein shake with 1 cup soy milk, 1 cup water, and bunch of ice cubes.
9:30pm- Leftover Vegetable Beef and Barley Soup
12am- Snack bites-  Soy protein snacks
2:30am- Leftover Turkey Strogonoff on Ronzoni whole wheat egg noodles
5am- 1 Apple, 1 tblsp all natural peanut butter, 1 string cheese
7:30am- Cottage Cheese and frozen (unsweetened) blueberries.

So I put it into the calorie counter just to make sure I wasn't posting some ridiculously over-calorie'ed meal, and the total was 1,281 calories. When I had my body fat tested, they told me my goal was 1,263. SEE! This over-simplified method really does work!

Okay recipes:
VEGETABLE BEEF AND BARLEY SOUP
Add to large pot and stir until done throughout
     1 tblsp olive oil
     6 portions of beef (remember to keep your beef lean and the portions on the small side) in 1" cubes

Stir in and bring to a boil
     8 cups low-fat, reduced-sodium beef broth
     1 cup of water
     1 medium onion chopped
     1 stalk of celery chopped
     1 carrot (or I used a cup of chopped baby carrots)
     1 tsp dried Oregano (mine came out a bit heavy on the oregano, so don't heap your tsp too much)
     1/2 tsp black pepper
     2 cloves garlic (once again, I use the jar kind)
     1/2 cup barley
     1 bay leaf
After boiling, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 45 minutes. Then stir in:
     10 oz frozen green beans
     1- 14.5oz can of diced tomatoes
     10 oz frozen peas
Remove the bayleaf and cook on medium 15 mins til hot throughout. Split into 6 servings!

Turkey Stroganoff   (one of my favorites!)
Boil according to directions 6 portions of whole wheat noodles, drain and set to side. In a frying pan, fry until cooked throughout:
     6 portions of lean ground turkey
Reduce heat to medium and stir in
     1 can of cream of mushroom soup (healthy request or low fat)
     1 packet of Liptons Onion mix. (it comes in boxes of 4 and is found by the dips and seasonings)
     1/2 can of skim milk or soy milk
     about 1/3 can of water (can add more here and there if you think it should be thicker or thinner)
Once heated throughout and well mixed, stir in
     3 tblsp fat free sour cream
     Black pepper to taste
Keep sauce in separate container in fridge and then add to noodles for meal. Makes about 6 portions.
