I found this recipe on MFP and have tried it. They're yummy. Even my other real life MFP friends tried 'em and liked 'em.

70 cal Pumpkin Chip Cookies
You need:
1/2 c Butter or margarine
1 1/2 c Sugar
2 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon (I used closer to 2 tsp)
1 tsp Nutmeg (I used more like 1.5 tsp)
1 tsp Vanilla
1 egg
1 c cooked or canned pumpkin (I used a whole 15 oz can)
1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease your cookie sheet.
Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, pumpkin and vanilla. Mix and sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture, mix well. Add chocolate chips and mix thouroughly.
Drop by tablespoons onto the greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Makes about 50 cookies, give or take. I only made 15 or so at a time and froze the rest of the dough for a later date.

Chickpea & Feta Burgers

Ingredients

1 x 400g can chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
1 carrot - peeled and grated
80g Feta (I use reduced fat feta)
1 egg
70g (3/4 cup) breadcrums
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 shallots (spring onions), trimmed and chopped

1. Spary a pan with olive oil spray and gently sautee ahallots and garlic unitl soft
2. Place sauteed garlic and shallots, drained chick peas, grated carrot, crumbled feta, and egg into a food processor, process to combine
3. Transfer processed ingredients into a bowl, add breadcrums and season with salt and pepper to taste. mix with hands to combine.
4. Shape into 4 patties. Try to make them quite flat and not to thick (aim for 1-1.5cm), first time I made them I found that they stayed a little too soft in the middle as they were a bit thicker.
5. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan, and gently fry the patties until browned on both sides. They can easily go into the oven to keep hot, they don't dry out

The patties are around 345 cals once cooked in the oil. Serve on toasted turkish rolls with tzatziki and cucumber or on their own with a fresh salad!

That Pesto Verdura recipe sounds absolutely delicious! Will try it this weekend. Have you tried it with other veggies? It ought to work if you add a courgette, for example - or am I wrong?

Egg Noodles

Picked up from June on a Delish challenge video. Loved it ever since.

Basic:
2Eggs beaten with salt
Turn them into 2 thin omelets.
Roll the omelets up and slice thinly
Tada, low carb noodles!

How I love them:
Sub soy sauce for salt and throw in a little chili paste into the eggs.
Add them in 2 cups of water with a teaspoon of bullion and sliced green onions. Makes a delish soup for about 200 calories that satisfies my ramen craving.
