    I have discovered that I like eggplant. Low in calories, high in nutrients and great as a side! I baked it drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

    That sounds so good.

    grilled portobello cap as a "burger." Now, it's no beefy burger, but it's a nice substitute that takes on any flavor that you choose to put on it. I basted with teriyaki and topped with a pineapple for a hawaiian portobello burger! And get this...the whole cap only had ~30 calories! BIG difference from the ~250 for the beef patty.

    This thread got me thinking of all the different fruits I've had recently.. Another one I had for the first time lately was a Tumbo. It is like a passion fruit or granadilla but really bitter. I think that exhausts it.

    courtney_love2001 - I wished I liked mushrooms, but I can't stand to eat them.

    I found Thomas' bagel thins. It completely satisfies my bagel cravings, but for only 110 calories!

    Where have you found those? I've checked several grocery stores in my area and have had no luck!

    If you cant find the thins (at Jewel, Walmart, Target), the mini bagels have essentially the same nutritional values. I like the minis better because they just FEEL like you get more. But both are really good! The bagel thins are great for breakfast sandwiches!

    I peeled it, sliced it to 1/4 inch slices, then layed out in a pan rubbed/drizzled olive oil and sprinkled Parmesan cheese. I baked them at 400 til they were golden brown and gooey. YUM!

    I just found this recipe for eggplant

    This sounds dumb, but how did you eat it? Do you just cut into it or peel it or what? They looked really complicated!
