So, if you can believe it even training for a marathon and running one, I gained weight over the last few months!!! So I decided I better watch what I am eating a little bit more closely and I signed up for online weight watchers again. Thus, my eating has been a little different and thus my posts this week have been lacking. I will be posting a recipe for split pea soup from this week and today I thought I would share some of the lunches I have been eating that have been really good.
My step mom gave me a book called the Flexitarian Diet. This type of eating is for people that prefer a vegetarian style with a little meat here and there. In other words it is "flexible" eating.
This week I had a bean burrito from this book for lunch.
I used a flour tortilla (it calls for wheat, but I have flour so. . .), I cooked up and mashed some black beans and spread about 1/2 cup on the tortilla, topped that with lettuce, tomato, 1/4 cup cut up avocado and 1 Tbs. ranch dressing. It was very yummy and very filling.
This was a 6 point meal on weight watchers.
Another lunch I had was a black bean and zucchini quesadilla
ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped zucchini
1/2 cup black beans
some green onion chopped ( I used onion flakes)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder
lime juice
2 whole wheat tortillas (I used one flour)
1 oz. cheese
Mix beans, zucchini, onion, spices and juice in a bowl. Top mixture on tortilla, sprinkle with cheese (top with 2nd tortilla if using two) and microwave for 60 seconds.
I did mine open face and added lettuce tomato and 1/4 cup diced avocado.
The way I made this was also 6 point weight watcher meal.
I will post some pictures when I make these again.
