Since I eat the same things over and over again, I'd thought I would try different recipes to stay on diet and keep things interesting!

I've seen some good recipes on here and elsewhere, and I need to try them! Or I'll experiment myself.

Usually what I eat is thrown in a tupperware or ziploc bag and doesn't look appealing so I'm going to try to pretty things up!

My friends know me as the "Queen of Embellishment" so I'm going to try my best!

I used to eat this alot last year, but forgot about it until I saw w8's post. OMG! You must try this recipe! I didn't have the frozen strawberries, flaxmeal, oatflour so I used a version of the Beverly crepes recipe.

Crepes with Raspberry Jam and fresh Raspberries
1 yolk
5 whites
1/2 scoop Beverly MuscleProvider protein powder
2 T. sugarfree fatfree Smuckers raspberry jam
1 T. sugarfree fatfree Maple syrup

whip up in blender and pour half in crepe pan, flip crepe, cook the other side. Spread jam on the inside of crepe, top with fresh berries and syrup!

The carbs turned out to be more than I'd expected from the sf jam. Next time I'll go with 1 Tbs. I guess. It was very good and a nice treat!

Pesto Chicken with Spinach salad

2 cups baby spinach
1/2 tomato
4 oz. chicken
1 tsp. Newmans Balsamic Vinaigrette
1 tsp. oil ( I used coconut oil)
1 Tbs. pesto
(1 oz. walnuts) * not added here

stirfry the chicken in the 1 tsp. oil. Set aside to cool. Mix in 1 tsp Newmans and 1 Tbs. pesto. Top on salad. I guess you could put walnuts on top too, but that adds to the fat, unless you nuked the chicken instead and save your fats for the nuts.
