What was your best meal of the day?

Some of you saw my post about my excitement on the baked cinnamon apples with yogurt (yes, with a bit of Cayenne), but my lunch creation was my favorite dish today. What was yours?

@Lesvel inspired me to think about lettuce wraps. So, today I used a newly bought bottle of Walden Farms Sesame Ginger dressing (0 cal and 0 carbs) to whip up an Asian lettuce wrap creation and it was so good. Here's what I did as a saute:

2 tbps of Walden Farms Sesame Ginger Dressing
2 tsp of Low Socium Soy Sauce
Lean Ground Turkey
Chopped White Onion
Crushed Garlic
Shredded Broccolini Mix (this is another great find - I'm not sure why I haven't used this before this week)

    I am pretty boring when it comes to eating but I love breakfast - I scramble some egg whites and toss in some Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles and I am good to go - something so simple is so filling and really keeps me going in the morning

    Lettuce wraps with chicken and sweet chilli sauce is divine. Need to get me some lettuce.

    I liked my fish fillets pan-fried and vegies on the side sauteed with crushed garlic, coriander paste. Simple but yummy.

    Yeh, I wouldn't have it on 17 day diet unless I had a teeny amount. Thanks.

    One of my recent favorite snacks is a coffee protien shake:

    1 c. unsweetened almond milk
    1 scoop protien powder (I have vanilla)
    1/2 pkg. of Starbucks Via (the instant coffee).

    Yummy and a quick snack or breakfast. I had it this morning 'cause I'm home with my 5 1/2 month old and don't always get a proper breakfast until later in the morning. Keeps me going and not feeling hungry.

    Instead of the rice I added spinach. It was delicious.

    Turkey meatball stuffed mushrooms

    I came up with this one on my own, but I'm sure there's a recipe out there somewhere!

    All I did was purchase some portobello mushroom caps and stuff them with my turkey meatball mixture. Then I baked them at 400 for 30 minutes. I really wish I would have lined my cookie sheet with aluminum foil because it sure did make a mess!

    My meatball mixture:

    Lean ground turkey (1 lb)
    Small minced onion
    Minced garlic (1 Tbl)
    Fat free mozzerella cheese (small sprinkle)
    Italian seasoning (I didn't measure, but I'm guessing 1/2 Tbl)
    Salt and pepper to taste

    It was delicious! My husband (who isn't on the diet) loved them!

    I'm on cycle 2 today and had yummy slice of spelt bread with kind of like curried egg on top - delish:

    3 egg whites
    salt and pepper
    30g avocado
    2g mayo and dijon mustard.
    (I added some cajun and a bit of curry powder as an afterthought as I was thinking this is kind of like curried eggs - with the avocado probably don't need the mayo or dijon)
    Mash all together and spread on top of slice of bread.
