Portion control is the one of the most difficult things to
control. When we go out to eat, we are served a plate that is anywhere from two
to four portions. If you follow any type of diet plan most suggest that you cut
the amount in two and place in a to go box even before you start eating.
Almost a decade ago when I did Weight Watchers, I started
using half and whole cup measuring cups to portion out the servings. I still
use this method today; it comes in quite handy for keeping track of how much food
is being placed on your plate. When we first started doing that, my husband
would stand over me in disbelief of actually how much food is in a cup. 1 cup of green beans takes up a lot of real-estate
on your plate!
If you are watching your portion sizes and want to try something
different for presentation, you might like the idea of cooking in muffin tins.
The recipe today came from the February edition of FamilyFun. After baking, you
can top each “cupcake” with sour cream, green onions, and a dot of guacamole.
