Oil-free baked falafels
(taken from The Oh She Glows Cookbook)
makes 22 falafels
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup red onion
1/3 cup packed cilantro leaves
1/3 cup packed parsley leaves
1 15-oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp ground flaxseed
1/4 cup plus 6 tbsp sprouted-grain bread crumbs (I just use regular bread)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1. Preheat oven to 400f. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a food processor, pulse the garlic to finely chop. Add onion, cilantro, & parsley and process until minced. Add chickpeas and process until the mixture forms a coarse dough and holds together when pressed between you fingers.
3. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and stir in flaxseed, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, cumin and salt until combined.
4. Shape mixture into small patties, using about 1 tbsp dough for each.
5. With a pastry brush, brush a few drops of water onto each patty. One at a time roll the patties in remaining 6 tbsp bread crumbs, pressing down on each side so the crumbs stick. (you have to really press to get them to stick). Place patties on baking sheet.
6. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
According to the mfp recipe thing they are 36 calories each.0 -
I found an Egyptian inspired food that I am doing tonight. It is from Allrecipes.com. I still need to do the Nutritional challenge.

for which date ... you didn't log our weight for 3/22 or 3/29 ... we don't log again until 4/5 ...
I put it in for you as 3/29, but I don't know if that still counts as it is almost a week late.
Weight weigh-ins are Tuesday and need to be reported by ??? ...

So the new tickets for the race are out. Thank God it's less than 2000 miles! Last week was tough, and my knees now hurt from all the stair climbing
Anyway, this week looks pretty easy to achieve. Let's all have a great one!!
Btw, how many members are we really?0 -

Thanks for the recipe! Not a big fan of falafel, but this recipe sounds tasty, might try to make it someday.0 -
They were more dry than a traditional falalel (probably due to not frying) but they were pretty tasty, and on a pita with a little sauce the dryness wasn't noticeable. I'm thinking of making them again for easy lunches.0 -
Welcome to week 5 Dream Achievers!
Our total "miles" for the week is 1898. Currently we are down to 9 members on our team so we each need to do at least 211 minutes this week. We can do this!!!! We went way over that last week (currently at 2738 for week 4). Remember we get extra points for going over so let's keep moving and rack up some points!
One of the challenges is a kettlebell workout. I don't own kettlebells so I'm planning to use a dumbbell instead. It's not exactly the same but it should be good enough. You only need to do the video once this week.
Here's a quick reference for anyone who isn't sure how to substitute with a dumbbell:

One of the other challenges is an "accountable to me" challenge. We're supposed to list (in the posted thread) 3 ways we've been accountable to ourselves during this challenge and 2 new things we'd like to achieve. So try to think of any "non-scale victories" you've had or new habits you've picked up.
