Yummy Monday!



It's Yummy Monday and the start to our daily posts of recipes and what's cooking!

Today's menu plan includes my famous Omelette in a Mug, Easy Chicken Salad, & PBB Yogurt Parfait.

Omelette in a Mug is so simple and easy.  Spray your favorite mug with non-stick spray.

Add your favorite Veggies ~ today I used 2 Tablespoons of Onion & Mushroom which I added to the Mug and microwave for 1 minute.  Take out of the microwave and blot the veggies with a paper towel to get the moisture out.

Add 1/2 Cup of Egg substitute.  Microwave for 1 minute. 

Take out of microwave and stir.  Take 2 Tablespoons of Fat Free Cheddar cheese (or I use string cheese and put it in the food processor).  Stir and put back in the microwave for 40-60 seconds depending on the microwave.  Super Yummy and full of protein!

 

122 Calories and <1 g Fat.  I ate 1/2 of a whole wheat English Muffin with it too.

Total calories 182.

Romaine Lettuce & Smoked Chicken (from the grill ~ I cook Chicken to use all week in my meals)

I added 2 Tablespoons of Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese.

My favorite Salad Dressing is Salsa ~ no fat, extra calories, and tons of flavor!

4 ounces of chicken breast = 120 calories

1 1/2 cups of Romaine Lettuce = 40 calories

2 Tablespoons of Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese = 72 calories

Salsa = 22 calories

Total Calories = 254 Calories

Thanks to my little guy and our Wii Let's Dance 2 workout last night, I was inspired to create this Elvis (Viva Las Vegas) recipe which we are calling PBB Parfait (Peanut Butter & Banana).

Measure out 6 ounces of yogurt (I used Vanilla & we also tried Strawberry).  Most yogurts that are purchased individually are 6 ounces or you can buy your yogurt in a larger container like I do.

Crush 2 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter Puff Cereal (it's a small amount to get the great Peanut Butter flavor you may be craving)

Cut up a medium size banana.

Cut or crush up 8 chocolate chip morsels (or you can use 1 teaspoon of mini chocolate chips).

Get your parfait glass and start to layer ~ yogurt, banana, cereal.  Final layer add chocolate chips on top!

 This was sooooooooooo decadent and yummy!!  I shared with the girls at the office and we also tried the strawberry vesrion!  This is only half of the banana, cereal, and chocolate.  Basically we halved the recipe and put 1/2 with vanilla yogurt and the other half with strawberry to see which we liked best.  We are unsure so we are trying it again tomorrow:)

102 calories (for half of the recipe) and 1.5 g Fat.

Supper tonight is going to be Chicken Fajitas for me.  My chicken Fajitas are full of veggies and salsa and I don't even miss the cheese!  A power packed workout and my snack if I need a little something post workout then I'll fix a small salad with shrimp and salsa for dressing!

Make sure to check in tomorrow with more recipes!
