1/25/2023 0 Comments light lunch go-toMy current go-to lunch is either a peanut butter sandwich or a tomato sandwich on Italian bread. Bakery Italian bread is low in calories (as far as I can tell) and I love the texture. I toast the bread, then add one teaspoon of peanut butter - simple and delicious lunch!
Or, I toast the bread, add a teaspoon of my favorite mayo, slice up a Roma tomato, add a few pieces of tomato and some salt - boom! Easy and delicious lunch! Of course I like to snack on a bananna as a side dish. (and my water, don't forget the water) I wanted to get back to my protein shakes for lunch. I used to use Burton Nutrition, but since they stopped selling the powder, and are now going out of business, I have been on the search for a new powder that I actually like. I always used plain vanilla, that way I could make it any flavor I wanted. I also need one with Stevia in it versus Splenda. I can't tolerate Splenda. TBD if I find a protein powder that I like!

1/25/2023 0 Comments broccoli totsI love potatoes. I especially love tater tots. But I can eat a potato in some form with every meal if given the chance. Obviously we know that's not healthy. And it is full of carbs! That doesn't help with a low carb diet...
But I found these Broccoli Tots years ago. They are so easy, only a few ingredients, and delicious! I have to fight not to eat the entire pan! They remind me of a spinach ball, which I also love and can eat the entire recipe! And if I say this is an easy recipe, then you can bet it is! I hate messy recipes with tons of ingredients that take multiple bowls and hours to make... https://www.thetwobiteclub.com/2015/01/broccoli-tots.html Recipe from The Two Bite Club Author: Becky Tarala Broccoli TotsYield: 24 tots Prep Time: 15 MINUTES cook time: 20 MINUTES total time: 35 MINUTES Broccoli Tots are a fun and healthy play on tater tots made with finely chopped broccoli in place of potatoes. Pin INGREDIENTS 1 bunch of broccoli, cut into equal sized florets 1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded 1/3 cup onion, finely chopped 1/2 cup breadcrumbs 2 eggs salt and pepper INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES If they seem to be falling apart when you take them out of the pan you can (1) put them back into the oven to cook for a few minutes longer so they are a bit crisper or (2) let them sit in the pan for a few minutes to let the insides firm up a bit before removing them from the pan. You have to be ginger with them if they're sticking a little to the pan! The sharp cheddar can be substituted with whatever cheese you have on hand.
