Lots of good food and they look so yummy!!!! Going to have to make some, thanks :happy:

dry pan-fried, crispy skinned salmon with lemon herb seasoning, spicy oven baked sweet potato fries, asparagus and baby spinach with a little vinegar and seasoning. devoured this; so yummy.

Your oven baked sweet potato fries look amazing! I still cannot get my crispy. They are always a soggy fry. :laugh:

I just toss them in the tiniest bit of oil maybe 1/4 of a teaspoon, a little minced garlic and some cayenne/herbs. Popped them in the oven, spread out on a metal tray so they aren't really touching and I leave them in low and slow rather than fast. About 150 c for 40 or so minutes, just shuffled them about every so often.

New recipes I've done tonight. Haven't put them into MFP yet so not sure of the macros, but my estimates puts this meal at under 400 calories. Unintentionally all vegan, too: homemade tofu and shiitake gyoza with "General Tso's Chicken" - made with faux chicken and eggplant.

I've entered the recipes on MFP and here are the stats (Cals/Carbs/Fat/Protein)

Gyoza: 46/7/1/2 per gyoza
General Tso's "chicken": 171/17/1/18 per one third of recipe.

Brunch out; toasted lamb wrap with cucumber, tomato, lettuce, tatziki, and onion. And a pineapple, lime and mint frappe.

My lunch

Pizza with tomato sauce, zucchini and feta cheese (less than 300 kcal). The crust is from Blogilates (http://www.blogilates.com/recipe-index/healthiest-pizza-in-the-world), it obviously doesn't taste like real pizza but it's good.
Salad with celery and a clementine.

Bump! Saving this for later, can't wait to try some of these. (: Looks delicious!

Some recent eats, my first attempt at all of these recipes:

1) Raspberry Protein Fluff

It was awesome and ridiculously filling. I couldn't even eat half in one sitting and I was starving.

2) Peanut butter swirl protein brownies

78 calories per serve and very very delicious.

3) Cauliflower pizza crust

This one was so good I forgot to take a shot after I added toppings and baked. I ate it very quickly. The macros were incredible! My new favourite way to have pizza.

They ALL look amazing, can I get the recipes for each?

Recipes!
1) Raspberry protein fluff was made using a modified version of this recipe: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/457158-strawberry-jello-protein-fluff

I used raspberry sugar-free jello(-y for Aussies) and frozen raspberries. No egg whites, and added a quarter tsp of guar gum as well. So really, it was:
1. crush ice in blender
2. use hand mixer to mix together 1c. crushed ice, 1 packet jello/y, about 1/4c. frozen berries, 1tsp. xantham gum, 1/4tsp guar gum, 1/2 cup skim milk.
3. Mix on a high speed for 5-8 minutes or so until very thick!


2) Peanut butter swirl protein brownies
ngredients
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
6 oz. low fat vanilla greek yogurt (could use fat free)
1/4 cup almond milk (any milk will do)
1 large egg
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup Splenda
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup rolled oats
5-6 pitted dates
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
30 grams chocolate protein powder

1. Place all of the ingredients except for the peanut butter into a blender or food processor. To make this easier, I started with just the liquid ingredients, then added the rest. Blend until mix is smooth and oats and dates are ground up. You will have to stop the blender and scrape down the sides a few times.

2. Mixture will be quite liquid-y. Pour into a greased pan.

3. Melt the peanut butter slightly in the microwave (about 30 seconds). Drop onto the brownie mixture in spoonfuls. Use a knife to swirl the peanut butter gently, creating a marbled effect but don't overmix.

4. Bake for 20-25 minutes on 350F (160 or so C) until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely before cutting.



and 3) Cauliflower pizza crust

Ingredients:
1/2 head of cauliflower
1 egg
1 cup of skimmed mozzarella cheese
Fresh oregano and thyme to taste

1. Use a cheese grater to 'rice' the cauliflower.
2. Microwave cauliflower on high for 6 minutes until cooked.
3. Stir in egg, cheese, and herbs.
4. Press the mixture onto a baking sheet, moulding into a pizza base form. You'll want to press it quite thin, but not too thin that it won't support your toppings.
5. Bake on about 375F or 180C for 15 minutes until browned.

You can then top with sauce, cheese, and any toppings you'd like and broil in the oven for an additional 10 minutes or until toppings are browned. Enjoy!

this is my absolute favorite chicken sandwich

chicken sandwich on a french baguette with lettuce, tomato, radishes, and watercress.
I like to drizzle the bread with plenty of the tomato broth.

Tonights Dinner:

AWESOME idea to replace the potato with the cauliflower! I just might have to try that!!!!

littlelily613

Another idea: go half mashed and have pureed butternut squash - delicious and pretty!!! (It's what's on the shepherd's pie I'm having for dinner tonight!)

Ooooh, I like that idea too!

I was craving a taste of home, so I made myself a small Ukrainian feast tonight. Broke the bank a bit in terms of calories, but still about 700 for the whole plate. Perogies with sour cream, 'meatballs' in mushroom gravy, and faux-meat stuffed cabbage rolls.



Soooo yummy.
