What a delicious day

I usually have some fresh fruit or smoothie for breakfast, but today I was in the mood for change: Quick Breakfast Pizza . Listed below is the original recipe, in parenthesis is what I changed

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 egg plus 2 egg whites
  • 1 whole-grain pita (5 inches), toasted (whole wheat flat bread)
  • 2 tablespoons shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese(2 tbs shredded low-fat horseradish cheddar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (added 1 tsp of Ragu with oregano, and took out the dried oregano)
  • 1/2 cup grapes

Directions

Spray skillet with cooking spray and scramble eggs. Top toasted pita with egg, cheese and oregano. Broil for 5 minutes, until cheese is bubbling. Serve with grapes.

Last night I made Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies. I had seen this on foodnetwork, eating well magazine and fitness magazine, so I decided to give it a whirl. The cookies were good, but for 99 calories, I would rather eat a 100 calorie pack of mini cookies. I can't have just one cookie. The nutritional info for the cookies is: Per cookie: 99 calories; 5 g fat (2 g sat, 2 g mono); 11 mg cholesterol; 12 g carbohydrates; 1 g protein; 1 g fiber; 64 mg sodium; 55 mg potassium.

For lunch I made Honey-Tahini Dressing:
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup tahini, (see Tip)
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, minced

Although the recipe on the link calls for a different salad, I made it with romaine lettuce (two heads for $1 at the farmer's market) and grilled chicken. For dinner I went to Pithari. If you are in the mood for good Greek food, this is the place to go. I had Skordalia Aliada, which is a potato garlic dip (for lack of a better description), as an appetizer and lamb souvlaki.

Yum Yum Yummy Yum :)
