I got a steamer from my sister for Christmas.

I figure I wanted to try with hard veggies. My first ones were brussel sprouts and squash.

I added some garlic salt on the rinsed sprouts and some sea salt on the squash. I turned on the steamer for 15 min while i did some work around the house.

I added roasted chicken and one piece of hawaiian bread to complete the meal.

Lunch - 10/28/2010

• Sandwich thins x 1
• Mustard
• Turkey Burger Patty (5 oz?) with Spinach + Feta
• Spinach
• 1/8 cup of tofu with soy sauce
• Laughing Cow Cheese Light Swiss Original x 1

This should be less than 400 calories, I think.

Turkey burger with Spinach + Feta

makes about 4 servings

• Ground Turkey x 1 lbs
• Spinach (chopped finely) x 1 cup
• Feta Cheese x 1/4 cup
• Panko bread crumbs x 1/4 cup

Mix all the above ingredients together. Fry (with a spritz of PAM) or grill on med-high till fully cooked.

Dinner - 10/11/2010

I was super hungry heading home today and I wanted something warm, so I decided on okonomiyaki!

My dinner consisted of:

• Okonomiyaki (~300 cal)
• Natto [fermented soy beans] (80 cal)
• Aloe Drink (80 cal) 

Okonomiyaki is a japanese savory pancake type dish. Some people call it a Japanese pizza. I have okonomiyaki flour at home.

• Okonomiyaki Sauce (serving = 1 tbsp), 1 tbsp* 
• Mayonnaise, regular (mayo), 1 tbsp* 
• *Whole Wheat Flour, 1 cup (Okonomiyaki flour is 110 cal for 100g)
• Real Egg Egg Whites
• Okra, 1 cup slices
• Cabbage, fresh, 2 cup, chopped

*I actually used a lot less. More like a tsp. These ingredients are more or less for 2 servings.

You can find a recipe here.

Healthy, Low Calorie Brownies?!?

It’s true. Of course, the secret ingredient may put some off, but I’m totally into it!

When I commented (lamented?) that the Better Body Challenge was starting up again, urlgrl gave me a link to this awesome recipe!

I’ve been obsessed with brownies the last few weeks. With the new challenge coming up, I’m really stoked about these.

Slow cooker + stuff squash experiment….

I cooked this for 6 hours on low.

Cut squash in half.

In another bowl, mix:

• ground turkey
• salt
• garlic
• 1/4 cup of rice
• 1 can of diced tomatoes
• 1 can of mushroom

Stuff about 2/3 cup each into each half of the squash.

My experimental dish was okay. I think I needed soy sauce or something to add more flavor in the meat. The squash fell apart when I tried to take it out of the slow cooker. :(

For dessert:

• Sandwich thin
• chocolate peanut butter
• 1 tsp of greek yogurt
• flaxseed
• 1/2 cup of Naked Juice

Dinner - 10/09/2010

I made dinner - Ground Turkey with Upo, Okra, and Shirataki (200 cals, 8g fat, 4.2g fiber) (and am freezing the leftovers for next week!)

For dessert, I made Greek non-fat yogurt with flax seed and strawberry jam again (it’s very satisfying!). Recipe after the jump!
