Great Low Carb Snack - Cucumber sandwiches! Who needs bread or crackers?

HEALTHY, LOW CAL, GLUTEN FREE, VEGETARIAN, VEGAN PIZZA

This delicious psuedopizza is made of only three necessary ingredients.

- 1 Portobello Mushroom Cap (20 cal)

- 1/4 cup Organic Pizza Sauce (20 cal)

- 1 slice Cheese* (40 cal)

- Desired Veggies/Toppings

(your choice; I picked “Go Veggie” Vegan GF Cheese)

1. Wash your mushroom cap well and set to dry for a minute or two. 

2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

3. Take a spoon or other utensile to carve out the “gills” of the mushroom. This is the black protrusions surrounding the stem; they are capable at holding water to ensure the fungus’ survival, however with cooking, extra water is not good. Keep the stem if you wish to dice it(not the very end, but the middle) and add it to your pasta/pizza sauce.

4. After your mushroom is de-gilled, pluck the stem and either toss it, or dice the middle of it. If planning to use this part, make sure to remove the very end where it had been cut originally as it’s usually pretty dry and inedible there.

5. Put mushroom into oven for 5 minutes on a foiled sheet. When you remove it, there will likely be water for you to drain. Not pre-baking the cap will add water to the sauce and you could lose flavour. It’s up to you.

6. Mix your sauce(pizza is usually thicker, for reference) while the “base” is baking; for this you can add whatever “toppings” you wish since the mushroom is forming a capable bowl to encompass such goodies. If adding excess toppings, it is suggested you reduce your sauce amount.

7. Once the mushroom cap is prebaked and drained, add the sauce carefully into the center of the base. Personally, my sauce was to the brim. Then add cheese slice; you may need to fold the edges of the “square” inward to prevent drippage and burning of the golden topping.

8. Place carefully into the centre of your oven and bake for 25 minutes. If you are using Vegan cheese, you are well aware of its melting capabilities. For this scenario, I recommend you broil it on high for five minutes, checking every thirty seconds.

9. Serve and enjoy!

My bestie texted me tonight to ask about that yummy low cal microwave pumpkin pie recipe that I used to eat all day every day. Truth be told, I completely forgot what it was and this is no bueno because it is delicious.

I couldn’t find the original on my blog, but I did some digging and found the recipe online! 

2-Minute Low Calorie Pumpkin Pie

If you need a little something to satisfy your sweet tooth, whip up this 75-calorie pumpkin pie for one. This simple recipe, with a bit of whipped cream on top (or greek yogurt as a substitute) is enough to fool a lie detector test. It only takes 2 minutes to make, but the end result tastes as delicious as traditional, calorie-packed pie.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup pumpkin puree (try to get the simple pumpkin kind, not the pumpkin pie filling kind with loads of sugar)

1/4 cup egg whites (from an egg or carton)

Sweetener (Agave, Truvia, Real Sugar, Splenda, etc) (or eliminate it all together)

Cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

A Bit o’ Vanilla Extract

Directions: 
Mix together all ingredients. If you prefer a flan-like texture, add more pumpkin; if you prefer a cake-like texture, add more egg whites. Microwave for 2 minutes. Use a mix of Greek yogurt, hazelnut cream cheese, and pumpkin pie spice for icing. Top with toasted pecans if you want to!

Makes one serving.

Day 1 Lunch: Sauteed Spinach w/ egg whites

I didn’t know what to eat so I just decided to make something out of what we had in the fridge. I sauteed the spinach with garlic, mushrooms and a baby bell pepper without any oil, then I seasoned with some s&p, maybe a 1/4 tsp of sesame oil, sprinkled some sesame seeds, and of course some Sriracha.

This was.. so good. I totally didn’t expect to enjoy it so much but it was amazing.It was such a small portion I was worried it wouldn’t be enough for pre-workout food but I was full 3/4 in.. crazy! This simple meal makes me very enthusiastic about the days to come!
