Monday, July 11, 2011 Phase 2

Breakfast: Ricotta waffles w/ SF syrup; 1 c 1% milk; 2 cups coffee each w/ ¼ c 1% milk and sweetener - Vitamins

Lunch: Chili w/ a little V8

Snack: Apple with peanut butter

Dinner: Salad w/ lots of veggies, turkey pepperoni and Italian dressing; 1 slice of WW Pizza w/ Turkey Pepperoni, Mozzarella Cheese, Red Pepper, Onion, Green Olives; glass of red wine

Snack: SB Friendly Chocolate Peanut Butter “Ice Cream”

Basically use a handy mixer to combine 2 eggs and a spoonful of ricotta (maybe 1/8 of a cup, but you will have to experiment to get the texture and flavor YOU like). Add some vanilla and splenda if you like. Pour in a non-stick spray covered pan heated at low/med. When it looks cooked (no longer liquid), flip it over for a couple seconds. Then enjoy with SF maple syrup or 1tbsp SF preserves combined with about 1 tbsp LF cream cheese. Another variation I read on the recipe thread is to add cinnamon to the egg mixture before cooking and you get a french toast flavored crepe. This makes about 3 crepes.
