I made this pizza the other day, it was amazing!!!
- whole grain flatbreads (there's whole wheat 6 inch pizza ones in the bakery section at my grocery store- Food Lion) - Tomato paste (check the ingredients, can ONLY have tomato, no salt, etc.... there was only one brand that made it with only tomatoes at my supermarket) - Veggies- I used: mushrooms, onions, green pepper, cherry tomatoes and basil Just add some water slowly to tomato paste until you get a good texture for pizza sauce (don't let it get too watery). Then add Italian spices like basil and oregano to the sauce. Put the sauce on the flatbread and top with your veggies. I cooked mine in the oven at 425 degrees for 8-12 minutes until the crust was crispy. It was so good I had it two days in a row! I tried this but we didn't like it, I think people that like avocado will though! Just take shredded chicken and avocado and mix them together. Add basil or cilantro and lime to flavor it the way you like. You can also add pepper, but no salt with our challenge! I think the salt was needed, or maybe the avocado was bad? It was super creamy so it was a great mayonnaise substitute. You can also make guacamole and then add the chicken to make guacamole chicken salad! I ate mine inside of a lettuce wrap, I LOVED the concept, just wasn't for me. Thinking Chaunice will love this one though!
SUper easy and fast pancakes that only need two ingredients and are OK to eat any time of the day with our challenge! Just mash together 1 ripe banana and an egg and then cook it in a frying pan. So good! I like to add blueberries to mine, if you're feeling crazy you can even throw in some dark chocolate chips and have a mini cheat :). Even Jonathan loves these!
Update March 4: I liked these with onion & garlic better than cayenne pepper. However they didn't stay crispy and weren't that "crispy" to start with. Really can't let them site for a few days like I had hoped and they aren't very good chip replacements... FAIL!
I'm making these over the weekend to have with sandwiches for lunches in place of chips! Hoping they are tasty, gotta drop the salt again! Quinoa is another good thing to have prepared in advance to grab as a side or snack when you are hungry. Here are 3 recipes I found that sound great! I haven't tried them yet- let me know if they're good!
A great snack to make ahead and have on hand for when you're hungry! Don't forget- drop the salt! Difficulty: Easy | Total Time: 45 mins | Makes: 4 to 6 servings
Crunchy and spicy are the two things I love most in food. These baked chickpeas are both, plus a tasty and healthy snack. Just toss them with a little olive oil and some spices, then roast in the oven until crunchy. They’ll stay crispy for a few days stored in a resealable bag at room temperature. Here's a recipe for a great side I'm making this weekend. I'll prepare it and keep it in the fridge so that I can grab some as a side if I'm really hungry and don't want more veggies. Don't forget- no salt! Just add the 19 oz. garbanzo (chickpea) beans and parsley to the grocery list I made yesterday- everything else should be there! Here is my meal plan for the next 2 weeks and my grocery list for tomorrow. For the dinners I wrote next to it what modification Jonathan will have since he is not in the challenge and I also included that in the grocery list as well. The screen shot below had the menu, you should also be able to go to the other page to see the grocery list. The downloadable file is below that if you'd like to download it too! I'm only grocery shopping for 1 week so my veggies/fruits stay fresh and in case I come across new recipes from yall that I want to try! I usually try to eat steak/seafood within a few days of getting it (unless scallops- we usually get them frozen). And the meals that take longer like spaghetti squash are usually on a weekend. Most everything on here is a 10-30 minute meal, I don't usually have much more time than that! I have not perfected this one yet. it was yummy but the sweet potatoes were a bit soggy.
Update 2/28- these ended up being great! I made them on Monday and put them into serving size baggies in the fridge. For dinner at night I threw them on a skillet to get them crispy to go with my meal and it was perfect! I would recommend you have these on hand in case you don't have time to make a full dinner. |
