Chef Devin will be on tonight's Biggest Loser to show off some recipes, but we have a couple of great-looking sneak peek recipes from the book. The notes are from chef Devin Alexander.
Sweet Potato No-Skins
These No-Skins incorporate a very strategic use of salt. You season the top of the potato rounds so that when theyre flipped, the seasoning will be on the bottom, ensuring that your tongue hits the salt on the potato first! That way, you need less salt overall, and your tastebuds will still be satisfied.
Youll likely fool your children and spouse into thinking these are regular white potatoes if you purchase light-skinned sweet potatoes. Both versions taste delicious, but if you use the darker sweet potatoes, you might need to increase the cooking time a minute or two.
- 16 ounces 12-inch-thick rounds light-skinned sweet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 18 teaspoon sea salt
- 18 teaspoon garlic powder
- 18 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
- 2 ounces finely shredded all-natural, low-fat Cheddar cheese (I used Cabots 75% Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese)
- 4 teaspoons all-natural bacon bits (I used Wellshire All-Natural Fully Cooked Salt-Cured Bacon Bits)
- 4 teaspoons finely chopped scallions
- 2 tablespoons fat-free Greek yogurt (optional)
Preheat the oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil.
In a large glass or plastic mixing bowl, toss the potatoes and oil together until the potatoes are well coated.
Place the potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared pan so they do not touch. Sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, and cayenne evenly over the top of the potatoes. Bake them for 10 minutes. Flip them and bake for 7 to 9 minutes longer, or until they are tender inside and starting to brown lightly on the outside.
Push the potato rounds together so that they touch and you can easily top them in a single, even layer. A fat loss overview can help you produce a clear summarize of what you need to focus on to carry out your fat burning purpose if you're a novice; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an advanced or more boost step of their weight loss plan. Following are seven steps that can serve as methods for your own weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss plans have misled people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by resulting in a person's body to lose more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. First place the Cheddar, then the bacon bits, and then the scallions over the rounds. Bake for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately with 12 teaspoon of the yogurt on top of each, if desired.

Youll need to start with about 1.5 pounds of potatoes in order to get 16 ounces of rounds. Try to choose potatoes that are roughly uniform in size. To create the rounds, peel your potatoes and cut both ends off. Then cut them into 12" thick rounds and measure out 16 ounces.
Chocolate Raspberry Dreamers
Ill admit that I had no idea what to call this dessert. The chocolate is lighter than a pudding but not as fluffy as a mousse, and certainly didnt resemble anything fudgy. But it is delicious and satisfying, especially given how few calories it has (not to mention the 10 grams of fiber). On those nights (and afternoons) when you dream about having a sweet, chocolatey snack, this one fits the bill!
- 1 cup all-natural fat-free cottage cheese
- 3 tablespoons 100% fruit raspberry spread
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 4 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons natural 70% cocoa mini dark chocolate chunks
Blend on high until smooth, turning off the blender intermittently to scrape down the sides. Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic container and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until chilled.
Divide the raspberries evenly among 4 martini glasses or to-go cups with lids. Spoon one-quarter of the chocolate mixture (about 14 cup) over each and top with 12 tablespoon of chocolate chunks.
Makes 4 servings.
Per serving: 179 calories, 9 g protein, 31 g carbohydrates (17 g sugar), 3 g fat, 2 g saturated fat, 3 mg cholesterol, 10 g fiber, 216 mg sodium.
