Hello Everyone!
I just tried a new recipe out tonight and it blew me away, so I thought I'd share it. I'm a vegetarian, so I'm always on the hunt for way to fit in protein and this did double duty with both eggs and garbanzo beans. This would definitely also qualify as comfort food without having comfort calories.
I hope you get to try it! Here is the link to the recipe on Epicurious: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Poached-Eggs-in-Tomato-Sauce-with-Chickpeas-and-Feta-368963
Here are my pics from cooking tonight:

And I'll add this for last week. Favorite breakfast. 7 grain toast. Real cream cheese. Dark heirloom tomatoes. Petite Basque cheese. Salt & pepper.

My favourite is diet coke chicken. Sounds weird but is really yummy!
Serves 2, syn free
4 chicken breasts diced
1 can of diet coke/coke zero
6 tbsp of passata
1 tsp of worcestor sauce/ or soy sauce
1 diced onion
fry light
1. Fry the chicken and onion in fry light until the chicken is cooked
2. Add the coke, passata and worcestor sauce
3. cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has turned thick and sticky, the sauce will greatly reduce
4. Serve with wedges/rice and salad0 -
That looks delish, i'm not vegetarian but would like to try it. Just what are garbanzo beans, and what would you substitute them for?0

Garbanzo beans is the US name for chickpeas.0 -
I have invented my own one this week, and this is what I made for lunch today (quantities are accidental):
400g boiled Brussels sprouts
30g grated parmensan cheese
160g silken tofu
2 tsp of soy sauce
Total kcal: 397.
Loaded with protein and vegetarian. It is in my diary.0 -
pork chops and chicken and star soup..... throw the chops in a shallow dish and just put the soup on top. put it in the oven at 250 for 2 1/2- 3 hours. pair with rice and a veggie. easy under 500 calorie dish.0

Noodles, Mint Chutney, salt, black olives, and olive oil
It sounds bad, but it tastes simply amazing!0 -
Ok this is not low calorie but it is awesome and worth every calorie. I make it every couple of weeks. I use boneless skinless chicken thighs to cut the calories a bit.

Hi !
I just tried a new recipe of salad this noon. I had almost nothing in my fridge so I had to try something new:
- 100g of salad (any kind, I took lamb's lettuce)
- 2 slices of turkey breast cooked with thyme
- 6 slices of hot chorizo
- 1 soft boiled egg
For the dressing, I mixed olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
This salad has an average of 281 calories, so go for it!
PS: you can add fresh onions and eat it with a toast, it is also delicious!
PPS: does anyone know how I could photos on this post? I can't find it!0 -
bump so I can find this later!0

Sounds good. What is passata?0

Bumping for later thanks everyone,0

Passata. Puréed and sieved tomatos. You can get them in any supermarkets in the uk0

That sounds really interesting! I'll have to give it a try!0

Here is a link to another forum on how to post pictures. It took me like 10 retries last night, but I finally figured it out! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/538992-how-to-post-pics-on-here?page=40 -

That sounds great! What type of noodle do you use?0 -
Peasant Soup
Saute 1/2 of a diced onion, 4 cloves of minced garlic about 6 minutes in a TBLS of EVOO,then add 4 chopped carrots and 2 stalks of celery plus leaves chopped. Cook 5 minutes then add water until pot is 3/4 full. I add some vegetable boullion and some thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer for 20 minutes. At this point you can add french bread (leftover, hard) or my daughter likes ditalani noodles. Dish it up and grate a little parmesan over the top. I am not a soup fan, but I love this. I actually didn't have thyme so I used herbs de provance and it was delicious.
I use a 12 inch nonstick stir-fry pan.0
