Hi all! I was just wondering what everyone was having for lunch?
I am having Brown Rice with Shrimp in a garlic butter sauce...
Simple, Yummy and EASY! Very filling and only approx. 400-450 calories!
(My diary said 436 calories for this meal!)

I put everything together in a bowl the night before...

Microwave for approx. 1-1/2 - 2 minutes (till hot and butter is melted)
*25 frozen small shrimp- deviened/no tails (approx)
*1 Tbsp butter (real butter, not margerine)
*1 Tbsp EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
*1 Tbsp minced Garlic
*garlic salt with parsley (to taste)

Add 1 container of ready rice and stir. I use Uncle Ben's ready rice cups- whole grain brown rice... just microwave for 60 seconds!

Enjoy!

    Mmm I have Chicken Pad Thai as leftovers, using Shirataki noodles....:tongue: there are so many shirataki recipes on the web and I bought a ton. With this recipe, it is only 133 cal per serving (the original recipe is about 148 cal per serving, but I minimized my chicken and veggies in the recipe). It is so good, the last time I made it, I brought it to work and my co-worker REALLY loved it.

    For lunch today i had a 3 egg omelette (2 whites, one yolk) with sautéed orange bell peppers and 75% fat free cheddar cheese by CABOT. I used a little bit of extra virgin olive oil to cook it in.
    Turned out good.... i was very satisfied and full.

    I had a morning star garden burger with swiss cheese and a bit of bbq sauce on a wheat bun and a side of steamed broccoli. Followed by an hour of bloating. Too much veggie for one meal!
