Meals Eating Now !

[Mumof2]

Mandy your meals are looking awesome - the sandwiches - YUM!!!! I know you like lettuce - have you had an egg and lettuce sandwich before??

I dont count calories, been there, done that and its not for me. I become to obsessive, now I focus on portion size and it works.

The pancakes have sent me cravings....so carrot and zucchini cakes with cottage cheese and balsamic...



I am getting frustrated because my photos wont resize and I am doing everything as per normal - grrr!!

What is your recipe for the carrot and zucchini cakes? They looks so delish!!!!

Hey Folks,

I'm getting ready to make a 9 hour drive to San Francisco. I know several different types of wraps and sandwiches, veggies, boiled eggs and such. Any of you creative people have some suggestions for Road Warrior quick fix? Just something I can throw in the cooler on the front seat and raid as necessary. It's too bad I'm not driving a small RV with a stove and microwave. I wouldn't have this issue. LOL

I love pancake sandwiches for good filling sweetness in the car! I normally make BIG pancakes instead of several small ones - then make a filling like PB and ricotta or CC mixed with whey or pumpkin, PWO I use NUTELLA for chocolately goodness....spread the filling on one side then just basically fold it over like a pancake taco! wrap it up in cling film and throw it in the cooler.....Easy to eat one handed LOL!

anyway....i made crab cakes..or CRABBY PATTIES for the sponge bob fans out there ...totally clean, no oil, sm amount of oats instead of bread crumbs, egg white-no yolk, whipped CC instead of mayo...turned out really good

2lean...could I get the recipe for those crab cakes? I never considered using oats, gooood idea [/QUOTE]

Pretty simple, whisk some eggs (i use both white and yolk), grate some carrot and zucchini and combine, I cooked them in egg rings to get them even.

1/4c oatmeal...(i put it in the food proc. for a sec)-(probably could use a little more )
1 egg white
2(ish) Tbs. whipped cottage cheese (whipped b'cuz it's replacing mayo)
onion-fine dice
celery-fine dice
fresh parsley-chopped
...below is all to taste....
squeeze of lemon
Old Bay seasoning
garlic salt

i used a non stick pan...w/just a little olive oil spray
i let them get nice a crispy on each side
make 6 - 7 patties
very lo-cal, carb and HI-pro...

Pretty simple, whisk some eggs (i use both white and yolk), grate some carrot and zucchini and combine, I cooked them in egg rings to get them even.

No Carb Buns

3 egg whites
2 yolks - you can use 3 yolks as well it just depends on what macros you want
1/8 tsp cream of tartar or 1/2 tsp baking powder
3 ounces cream cheese - I used low fat but you can use full fat as well
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Separate the eggs and add cream of tartar (or baking powder) to the whites, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar (or baking powder until STIFF! Afterwards mix the yolks and cream cheese
Use a spatula and fold the egg yolk mix into the whites. Take it slow so you don't break down the whites.
Spoon the mix onto a sheet, should make 6.
Bake for about 25 minutes.
Take them out, let them cool down and enjoy!

Total macros all 3 complete buns

222 calories

Fat: 10 gram
Protein: 25 gram
Carbs: 4 gram

*I personally used 2 yolks and Fat Free Cream Cheese*

I thought I'd post a pic of what the no carb buns look like out of the oven....

[mizone]

How do you not scoff them straight away!! I AM going to try them very soon! Just need to get a mixer first, otherwise I dont think they will combine properly ??

I don't think you could get the whites "stiff" enough mixing by hand - so yeah I'd probably wait until you get a hand mixer! I did like the batch I made today better than past ones - the only thing I did differently was mix the whites into the yolk mix instead of the other way around. They came out more fluffy!

I was also reading recipes on how people use this concept and add in pudding or jello to make cakes and sweet trests...interesting!!
