Raw mini portabella mushrooms dipped in ranch...fat free, of course.
Sure, it's not the deep fried mushrooms, but it's a substitute that worked and cut out the deep fried grease.

Trader Joe's side dish from the freezer section, "Potatoes, Haricot Vert, and Wild Mushrooms." Freaking delicious.0

ITS SOOOO GOOD!!!!

Baked Sweet Potato! I just add salt and pepper. It's so flavorfull on it's own and so filling!
Also, fired up the BBQ this week and made grilled tuna and veggie kabobs. Sounds weird but it was delicious!0 -
Flatouts. Okay, I know everyone talks about them on here all the time, but I had never seen them at the store. Bought some of the italian seasoned kind - omg. Love em. I put everything in a flat out now. I made a regular turkey sandwich type one, I made one with turkey, hummus and feta (greek wrap -yay!), and one today that I pretty much just wrapped my usual salad (with morningstar farms grilled chik'n strips).
SOOOO good. Definitely more encouraged to go home and make something for lunch than go frozen! I want to try chicken parmesan in it!
SO Love Flatouts. I use them with turkey or chicken and mexicali dip from the deli,,, The whole meal is like 200 cals if that.0 -
Chobani fat-free yogurt with honey. I add walnuts. Great source of fat-free protein as well as being yummy and filling.

Orowheat Sandwich Thins - 100% Whole Wheat Bread
We found these at Costco but everyone sells them now. They are only 100 calories for the whole thing (both sides) I was using Oatnut bread which is 100 calories a piece, so for a sandwich it was 200 cal JUST FOR BREAD. Then we use Hillshire Roasted Turkey Breast thin sliced for only 50 cal for 2 oz.~~~So you can have a whole sandwich for 150 calories. Sometimes if I am really hungry and want a snack and know that whatever I decide on will not fill me up, I just have this for a snack and it is less cal than most low cal bars.0 -
Turkey meatball subs on Sara Lee 80 cal hot dog buns. Yummo!0

OOH that sounds good! Did you just make your own meatballs from ground turkey??0 -
Wheat Thins Fiber - Garden Vegetable and reduced fat mozerella string cheese! I don't think I'd ever had Wheat Thins and I've avoided snacking on cheese since I was little, but last night I bought these to bring more variety to my snacks and I LOVE eating them together.
I keep reading about tomatoes and cucumber in balsalmic vinegar but I've never had balsalmic vinegar and don't know if I'd enjoy it. Anyone eat this?0 -
I had ready-made polenta (Italfresco) - only 90 calories for a quarter of a packet (2 good slices). it's very filling.
Served it with roast chicken breast and oven-roasted veggies.0 -
Yes, and they came out SOOOO good. So much better then frozen. Yummms.0

blue potatoes! New to me

Re: blue potatoes - I spend most of the year in Peru and they have over 3000 varieties of potatoes. You would be surprised to know how many weird ones there are! They even have purple corn that is used to make a juice called chicha morada. Anyways I digress. I had a cherimoya today. If you can get one in a whole foods or central market if suggest you try it. Very delicious !0

I found Pure Protein brand Chewy Chocolate Chip protein bars this week. I think it tastes great and I always have one in my purse so that if I get hungry out and about, I can chow down on this. With 20g protein, it gets me through to the next meal!0

I started using agave to sweeten my yoghurt instead of honey - it's much sweeter so been using less of it. I've also started eating yoghurt again...0
-
I made a red lentils dish today,I was in food heaven! xD0
-
i guess they aren't new... but locally grown tomatoes, sweet corn and white-flesh peaches are epic. the taste can't be beat.0
-
My current addiction is Tuna. I eat tuna in the flat bread, ( the sandwich thins) makes me full for a long time. I can live off that.0

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 sounds great. I have been wanting to try Portabello mushroom caps. Everyone keeps telling me how good they are.0 -
'NEW Crystal Light Pure Fitness Grape' no artificial sweetners or colors
Lobster Ravioli dinner
Orville Redenbackers (sp? :::shrugs:::) Smart Pop 94% FF single bags I was impressed!
Blueberries not new to me but they are all over the place and delcious!
Grape tomatoes (new to me again this season)
Tuna I hear ya, I'm all about tuna myself lately, great source of protein!0 -
Probably not new to many of you, but some new 'faves' that I picked up this week and will pick up again:
Fage 0% greek yogurt (love how thick it is)
Kiwi fruit--YUMMO!
Tempeh--I got the 'fakin bacon' flavor--was great crumbled on a salad0 -

They are amazing!! I have to force myself not to eat a portabella cap for dinner!0 -
Ground flax seed. It makes me soooo full!
How do you eat the ground flax seed? Do you add it to smoothies? Make bread? I have some left from when I was trying to follow Atkins and I'd like to use it.0 -
You can add to pretty much anything you eat, from eggs, to cereal, to a smoothie, to veggies, really the sky is the limit!Ground flax seed. It makes me soooo full!

LOVED this thread! such great ideas!!!!0

Seven Star Farms Original Maple Yogurt!! I'd been eating Stony Fields, and after trying Seven Star I'm hooked!!! Far better flavor and less ingredients.
One thing I want to mention to all the people going on about couscous.....unless you're specifically buying whole wheat couscous, its the same refined semolina product as your basic pasta, its just processed differently. You're not getting much nutritional bang for your buck.
Take care all!0 -
Golden Beets--Yummy roasted with a bit of olive oil, cinamon, and brown sugar.0
-
no salt added, no high fructose corn syrup ketchup
don't eat ketchup that often, but hate that it has so much sodium
this was a tasty refreshing sauce that actually tasted like tomatoes instead of salt.0 -
Chilean seabass. It was YUMMY!! 0
