My new favorite things to eat:
Grilled Artichokes with EVOO, garlic salt and pepper--no need to dip into sauces! and I finally learned to prepare and eat a fresh artichoke
Cottage cheese with a fruit butter (I use blueberry, peach or raspberry butter from my farmers market)
Sprouted 7-grain bread from Trader Joe's--very yummy and filling
Brocolli sprouts--something new I found at the farmers market and love them
Chipotle cheese from the farmers market--I try to keep the serving to 1oz or less but I love the spicy zing it has/adds to my sandwiches0 -
String cheese! I would have never had tried it if it wasn't for MFP. I eat it with almonds for a snack. Mmmmm. :happy:0

Stoney Field Organic Yogurt
particularly Cherry Vanilla and Mango Apricot (think I got the names right?)

mmmmm I love couscous but it's a weakness of mine so i don't make it often. I can easily eat 3 servings without realizing it.
My new love this week is marzetti's spicy chipotle hummus and carrots.0 -
HOMEMADE BREAKFAST SAUSAGE!! SOOOO YUMMY AND SOOO HEALTHY!!!
Please share more about this one!
Its sooo simple!
You can use 95% ground pork or 99% ground turkey (much leaner!).
For every 4-5 oz, I add 1/4 tsp ground marjoram, 1/4 tsp ground sage, fresh cracked pepper and a bit of salt. I usually make about a lb of it and bag it in 4-5oz servings. I make the patties about an ounce each (they fit PERFECTLY on mini bagels for homemade McD's sandwiches!) I sautee them (very little extra light olive oil or cooking spray for about 1 minute on each side).
The longer they marinate, the more flavor you get without having to add salt.
Basically, the only calories/fat in it is from the meat! Everything else is essentially free!0 -

That sounds amazing! Got a particular recipe?0 -
Thanks Karma - i just emailed that to myself. Kind of an eye openener since I never really thought 'hey, i can make sausage patties simply'.....but after reading your method I totally got that NO DUH moment. its really only seasonings and ground meat, the only thing complicated would be a sausage casing...but patties are better anyway!
Thanks!0 -

Anytime!
I love them!!! So much better than greasy ones! They have a tendency to dry out if cooked too long; might take a couple tries . Basically, they cook quicker than you think they're done! :noway:0 -
Pot stickers. OMG- yum!
Joseph's Pitas. Only 60 calories!
Vitatops!
Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches.0 -
Twice baked potatoes. Okay, so it's not the healthiest (and honestly, it was the first white potato I've had in probably 5 or 6 months!!!) but I'd never had one until last night at my bf & my anniversary dinner. I'm in love.0

Brown Cow Yogurt
MaraNatha Natural Creamy PB (no stir YAY!)
Amy's Black Bean Chili
All Natural Pop-Chips0 -
Never tried them until this week - caramel or chocolate rice cake topped with 1 tbsp rf peanut butter.0
-
Ben and Jerry's FroYo!!!! It tastes identical!
Cabot 75% fat free habanero cheese. Amazing and super spicy!0 -
Just tried Quinoa last night for dinner --cooked it with vegie broth as suggested for extra flavor and I LOVED it..picky eater husband also liked it :happy:0
-
I also want to roast some brussel sprouts...never had them!
Roast brussel sprouts is my new favorite side! I use one of the small frozen packages, sprinkle with a lil EVOO, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Then place in the oven at 375 for about 15-20 minutes! YUMMY!!!!0 -
So maybe not AMAZING, but I bought some flax seed in bulk so I can add 1 tbsp to my "cereal" concoction. Flax seed is very healthy! And CHEAP!0
-
sugar snap peas and broccoli
Stony Field Yogurt0 -
And chickpeas. Had some in my salad on Sunday and I could hardly even tell they were in there. Good source of extra protein & fiber.0
