K, zeff...what is an egg white puff.....and what is chia fresca???

I made some egg white "rolls" the other day. I can't remember where I found the recipe...but it was egg white mixed with cream of tartar...beaten until stiff....then fold in a mixture of the yolks and ricotta cheese and parmesan cheese....blob on a cookie sheet and bake. They took the place of rolls for dinner What can I say...my family ate them, so I guess they weren't too bad.

One more good phase one op day for me!

B - decaf coffee w/sf creamer, 2 eggs, 1 turkey bacon, V8
S - none
L - DH decided we should eat out at a Mexican resturant so I had a chicken fajita w/o the tortilla but with extra lettuce. I ate about half and was full so tossed the other half (probably a first for me). Had iced tea with splenda to drink.
S - none
D - Wasn't hungry but knew I needed to eat so had chicken wraps with ff cream cheese, chopped tomato and onion and lots of lettuce.

I'm looking forward to what tomorrow brings..........

ha! sorry, i forget sometimes that not everyone speaks my lingo. egg white puff = 2 egg white, beaten in a bowl, microwaved for 30 seconds - 1 minute, then plopped out on a plate and topped with hot sauce. basically microwaved scrambled eggs....which actually don't taste bad and doesn't dirty a pan.

chia fresca is a liquid (i usually use brewed, iced white or green tea) mixed with chia seeds. I threw some strawberries in mine yesterday. there is a thread somewhere relatively recent about chia seeds.

1: chocolate cherry smoothie (almond milk, vega smoothie infusion, choc. brown rice protein, frozen cherries, spinach)
2: big ol' salad w/ hummus instead of dressing, a few bites of a mediterranean wrap
3: half banana w/ almond butter
4: some sort of soup - either pumpkin black bean chili or sweet potato, kale and lentil soup.
5: glass of red wine

Oh yes, I have microwaved scrambled eggs a lot, especially at work. I usually throw in either a dollop of lf cream cheese....or a laughing cow cheese wedge, makes 'em nice and creamy

ha ha..when I read the fresca thing...I was thinking of the soda, fresca...lol

mmmm...fresca. really though, the chia frescas are good. kind of a weird texture, but you get used to it (sort of reminds me of that old soda - orbitz). i love using flavored teas, lots of ice and a few berries or lemon wedges. it's really refreshing and the chia has lots of fiber to fill you up.

Staying at my parents house this weekend, so I went off plan a bit last night. Not thrilled, but proud of limiting it. Used to be when I'd go to my folks house I wasn't done eating until I felt sick, then I'd take a break and graze some more. Going again tonight, so I'll see how I do.
