What's For Lunch?

It's Thursday, and Thursday night is Date Night with my hubby, which means I'll be eating a high calorie dinner… so… I kept breakfast small (calorically) but filling & wanted to do the same for lunch…  I dug around a bit in the fridge and this was the result…


Mock Spaghetti - made with a fresh Tomato sauce on top of cooked Spaghetti Squash.

I cheated, I already had cooked Spaghetti Squash left over from a couple nights ago… but you can cheat too and cook it up in advance :)

Once the sauce was made (I'll explain that next) I just heated up my Spaghetti Squash, put the sauce on top, and voila!!

Now for the sauce, and this is super-simple!!

Take a non-stick sauce pan, spray with spray oil - I used Olive Oil.


Spices - I added some fresh ground Sea Salt & Black Pepper to the pan, some Italian Spices (Penzey's Tuscan Sunset), and a crushed clove of Garlic.  Spice it however you like!!


Rinse and toss into the pan some fresh Grape or Cherry Tomatoes, add some diced Onion, cook on Med-High heat.


Once Onion is translucent and Tomatoes have wrinkles crush the tomatoes (I used the back of my spoon), turn heat to low (simmer) and cover.


I let this simmer for about 5-10 minutes… then I decided I was too hungry to wait any longer…


This is what the sauce is like after simmering a bit…

That's it… now wasn't that simple!!

More Panclouds...

I hadn't had them in a while, so for breakfast this morning I decided to have some Panclouds (follow link to original recipe)… and of course, not being one to leave things alone…


I added some Saffron… I like Saffron...


Along with Bananas… my favorite to date...


And Strawberries…  I hadn't tried Strawberries before...


Very Tasty!!  I have to say that the Strawberry ones are a tie with the banana ones, and the Saffron was a nice touch… I'll have to have them again sometime soon!!

Tasty & Light Skillet Breakfast...

Scrambled eggs over skillet potatoes, with a side of tangerine sections...

This was my breakfast this morning, and for my WW friends that count points there's only 3 here…


I started out with a 4 oz red potato & microwaved it…


While that was microwaving I cooked up some diced onion in a pan sprayed lightly with olive oil, and added bacon salt for some extra flavor...


Cooked until the onions were translucent...


Cut up and added the potato, cooked a little more just to get the flavors blended well...


I had scrambled up 1/2 cup of Egg Beaters (equivalent of 2 eggs), I layered the eggs on top of the potatoes...


Seasoned my eggs with salt, pepper, tabasco (I like spice)...


Added some tangerine wedges for color & flavor & nutrients… and that was breakfast.

Fast, easy, flavorful, colorful, tasty, and satisfying…
