I know some of us share recipes and thought it would be great to have them in a separate thread to look up more quickly
For me- if I have tasty substitutions and healthy choices - I really will make this a lifestyle change plan and lose and most important keep the weight off.
Please share new food finds and MRC approved recipes! I remember when I first joined - I was so excited to find out I could have tacos (but serve the mixture on lettuce or in a wrap with 1/2 tortilla
Thanks for your shares and motivation!
Was looking for a plan approved salad dressing and found this on Emetabolic.com. All I need is poppy seeds and hope our company is not going to be doing any drug testing soon. Lol!
I'm guessing poppy seeds would be with nuts?
Strawberry Spinach Salad
Ingredients:
1 oz. green onions, sliced
4 oz. spinach
3 oz. cucumber and/or tomatoes, sliced
3/4 c. strawberries, quartered
Dressing:
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1 or 2 pkgs. zero calorie sweetener, optional
2 tsp. canola or olive oil
1/4 tsp. poppy seeds
Preparation:
Toss salad, mix dressing, drizzle and enjoy.
Servings: 1
Replaces: 8 oz. vegetables, 1 fruit
Tip: Add 4 oz. grilled chopped chicken, grilled shrimp or 2 boiled eggs for a complete meal.
Thawed, boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 egg
parmesean cheese (the kind in the shaker that you put on pizza)
seasonings
Beat the egg and put into a dish (I use a pie pan). Put "some" parmesean cheese and your seasonings (I like McCormick's Garlic Herb) into another dish. Dip the chicken into the egg wash on both sides, then cover it in the parmesean mix. It should look "breaded". From this point you can either bake the chicken on heat some olive oil in a pan and "fry" the chicken. This is a really yummy way to fix the run of the mill boring chicken breast.

For my lunch today will add tuna in water to this salad from MRC recipes I do not have apples, so will use strawberries and omit the cinammon and use something else ..
This recipe is called APPLE CELERY SALAD
8 oz. chopped celery
1 sm. apple, chopped
2 tsp. canola oil
1-2 pkg. zero calorie sweetener
Dash of poppy seeds
Cinnamon to taste (optional)
In a bowl with a tight fitting lid or zipper bag, combine apples and celery, pour in oil. Seal and shake. Add sweetener, poppy seeds and cinnamon. Shake once more
Bacon and eggs for breakfast, YES! Eggs and cheese topped with crunchy bacon, served on a warm flatout. Now that's a wonderful breakfast and it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare. You can use 2 eggs or 1 egg and 1 oz of cheese, whichever you prefer. We nest our protein on a warm Flatout, although you can use any kind of low calories wrap or pita. Flatouts come in a variety of flavors, most are 100 calories per flat, so you can use 1/2 at breakfast. If you're on the run just roll it up and eat it on the run.
Note.. I used egg beaters when I ate this moring with turkey bacon. Use whatever is allowed on your programs.
1 egg scrambled with 1 oz cheese (or 2 Eggs only)
1 slice uncured bacon, cooked until crispy
50 calorie Flatout or other bread
Scramble eggs, add cheese. Cook bacon until crisp. Place mixture on flatout and toast until melty and warm.
Yum! Patzi. Great recipe!
I got the sundried tomato flat out (and thanks to u guys for posting info re: flat outs - never heard of them). 1/2 is 45 cal, high fiber and so good.
I spread garlic laughing cow spread on it - roll it up and eat it on the way to work, then my 2 boiled eggs when I get to work.
This am, put 1 oz parmasean cheese on 1/2 and microwaved for 30 sec then wrapped. YUM!!!! Tasted sinful
I also cooked some skinless boneless chicken breasts in the crockpot with a can of Rotel, sautéed garlic and chicken broth Sunday and have been eating that shredded over my romaine/cabbage salad for lunch with lite Italian or raspberry vinegarette. Good wrapped in a flat out too w shredded cabbage and lettuce
