Hi guys!
I just thought I'd share an impromptu recipe that I threw together.
Skinny Spinach Flatbread
Ingredients:
Sliced fresh Mushrooms
Red Onion (About 1/4 peeled and chopped)
Minced Garlic -- (I used one light squeeze from the bottle packed in olive oil, I think that equals 1 clove)
Italian Seasoning to taste
Goat Cheese
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Spinach (two handfuls of leaves)
Optional: Squeeze of lemon
Flat Out Light Flatbread (I used the Spinach variety)
Directions:
1. Bake flatbread in a 375 degree onion until lightly crispy. Do not overcook. You want it to be crisp, but not browned. Remove from oven and heat the broiler.
2. Prepare Flatbread by spreading on a thin layer each of hummus and goat cheese. (2 tblspoons of each are considered a serving, but be less generous if you wish.)
3. Saute Red Onion, garlic and mushrooms in a medium heat saucepan until slightly caramelized/translucent.
4. Place onion mixture on flatbread and top with fresh spinach. Sprinkle with italian seasoning.
5. OPTIONAL -- Take half a lemon and lightly squeeze over spinach. You can also lightly toss the spinach with olive oil and lemon juice.
6. Broil on high until spinach begins to brown. Watch the edges of the flatbread to keep it from burning.
I was generous with estimating the calories here on MFP and it came out to 530 calories. If you leave off the olive oil, it is about 370 calories.
It's not super light, but it satisfied my pizza craving!0 -
Hi guys,
I thought I'd share a great product I've only recently discovered.
It's a noodle made out of a Chinese root vegetable called Konjac which is low in calories (23 per 200g) and high in fibre. It has also been shown to fill you up due to its bulk, aid in lowering cholesterol and blood sugar and improve digestion.
In Australia it's sold as a brand called Slendier Slim but in other countries there are other versions.
It tastes kind of like rice noodles, but soaks up the flavour of what you're cooking.
It can come in various forms, rice, pasta sheets, noddles, pasta.
I've only been using it for 4 days but it has really satisfied my appetite0 -
Have you ever tried broccoli slaw heated? Tonight, I did for the first time, and I thought it was really tasty. I recommend Kroger's brand broccoli slaw. You put in a microwave safe dish for 3 minutes, stir, and for 30 secs. more. Then, I added 1 TBL spoon of salsa and 1 small can of canned chicken, drained and heated in microwave, too, for 30 secs. When you heat the broccoli slaw, it's like a substitution for noodles! My mom shared this with me, and I loved it! You could probably add a little 0% fat Greek yogurt to the chicken like a marinade, too! I am always looking for fast recipes, because I am a teacher and mom of two!0

It appears that the main user who started this group has deactivated her MFP account. (MLauraa)
However I think we can all put out heads together and gather support and motivation from each other to help reach each other reach our fitness goals by Spring!!
Just remember this is a bi-weekly weigh-in...
starting weight was 2/10/14
Weigh in 1: was 2/24/14
Weigh in 2: Will be 3/10/14
Weigh in 3: Will be 3/24/14
Weigh in 4: Will be 4/7/14
These are the dates people should be posting weigh-ins. If you are just now joining you may start your weigh in on the date that is current for you. Just thought this would be a helpful way to lay this out, because I see a lot of folks posting all over the different threads their weights and are way ahead the rest of us. We can collaborate ideas and make this work!!
