It is Tantalizing Tuesday and we are very excited to bring you more recipes and photo's!

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” Proverbs 27:17 (NLT)

I work with the best group of women!  It's a fact and just to show you how awesome they are here's what I found on my desk this morning.

The super yummy treat was made with love from one of my best friends and it just so happens I get to work with her every day too~ thank you so much Donna!!!!

Packed inside this breakfast parfait are layers of awesomeness. 

Bananas, Strawberries, and just when you thought it couldn't get any better . . . .

Crunchy Kix Cereal!!

Stats for the Parfait: 180 calories and I shared it so the split was roughly 90 calories and it kept me full until 10:30 a.m.

I needed a little protein so I made another Omelette like we shared with you on yesterday's post. 

Special thanks to Teresa for her inspiration for the Omelette ingredients. 

I added fresh spinach and put in my mug.  Poured 1 cup of Egg substitute and microwaved for 2 minutes.  Topped it with 1 Tablespoon Feta Cheese.



I ate half and shared.  Donna and I both needed a protein lift to get through the morning.

120 calories for the entire serving ~ 1/2 serving = 60 calories & 1 g Fat

Chicken Fajitas are a favorite of mine.  I like them for supper or for lunch.  Today is my hour long workout so I knew I needed a good lunch to get me through. 

My fajitas are really simple.  Smoked Chicken (remember I cook for the entire week)

4 ounces cut into strips.  Romaine Lettuce, low carb tortilla, & I split 1 Tablespoon of guacamole between the 2 fajitas (homemade -- see recipe below).  I either put Fat Free cheese on my fajitas or guacamole but not both. Today I was in the mood for guacamole.

I also saute onion, peppers, and squash to put in for additonal vegetables.  It's filling and helps to get my veggies in:)  I use salsa in the middle for an extra kick.

Recipe for Homemade Guacamole

**I like to make my own guacamole so I know exactly what is in it and I can control the sodium as well.

Onion Powder 1/4 teaspoon

Mrs. Dash Onion & Herb or Garlic & Herb

5-10 dashes of Tabasco

Juice of 1/2 of a lime

Supper tonight will be a fast and easy Salad topped with Chicken, Okra, black beans, and Fat Free Cheddar Cheese.  My dressing of choice will be Salsa.
