A Favorite Meal This Week?

This is one of my favorite lunches - a mock chicken salad sandwich with vinegar-based slaw with edamame beans and an orange (or any fruit really - I love it all). This meal is around 450 calories. I usually have roasted broccoli/Brussels sprouts/kale instead of edamame, but I’ve been trying to add a little extra protein lately. As a vegetarian, it’s especially exciting to find a great high protein-low calorie meal that I love.

My favorite part of the meal is the little flax pita pocket that is super thin and delicious and only 50 calories. I use them for lots of meals! piabl49v08ge.jpeg

    Favorite for this weekend has been tacos! “Ground beef” (really a meatless substitute, but still really good) cooked with onions and kale, a little guacamole, and some habenero salsa - all liked on thin corn tortillas. So good!!

    So far this week, my favorite has been a breakfast sandwich - a veggie-filled omelette with veggie sausage and salad greens in a super thin pita. I like mine with some hot sauce!

    This week I had the best veggie sub ever from a little "mom and pop" Italian place. It was loaded with vegetables and so good!

    It's simple, but hard-cooked eggs with everything bagel seasoning, a side of sauteed mushrooms, and my morning coffee. It's my favorite go-to breakfast.

    This week we decided to actually eat out. We went to Texas Roadhouse and I had a small sirloin, veggies, and baked potato! Definitely the best meal of the week. I only eat meat about once a week so when I do, it's so good!

    This week I tried Kind cereal. I'm not normally into cereal but this was the best cereal I've had in a long time!

    That sounds good! One of my challenges since I moved is no longer having access to some of those healthier, lower calorie higher protein foods like alternate kind of pasta or breads. I’m a little jealous!!
