Boca crumbles round 2

When I sautéed the Boca crumbles with onion this morning, there was a lot left over. I love having this stuff in the fridge, in a pinch, you can make anything that you typically would using ground beef. For dinner, I made a taco salad using lettuce, Boca crumbles with onions, black beans, corn, tomatoes, cheese, cumin, cilantro from the garden, and crushed tortilla chips. I used Kraft fat free Catalina dressing. Added up, this huge and satisfying meal is only around 5 points.

 

 

Omelets two ways

The hardest thing when cooking with WW specifications is cooking for two. I've learned that G sometimes doesn't always want WW friendly food. In this case, I've got to make something that can be easily transformed for his tastes and mine at the same time. This morning's breakfast was a perfect example of that. Omelets are the easiest thing to make and you can throw anything into them (including any and all leftovers in the fridge)!

This morning, I sautéed some Boca crumbles with onions and red pepper flakes. Then I assembled the ingredients for the two omelets. G's included two whole eggs, the Boca crumble mixture, marinated artichoke hearts, tomatoes, shredded 4-cheese blend, Parmesan cheese, and parsley from our garden. For mine, I used just two egg whites and omitted the 4-cheese blend, opting for just a few savory teaspoons of freshly grated parm cheese. Fresh Parmesan cheese is the best for WW recipes because while it is rather expensive for the real kind, you need just a tiny bit for tons of flavor! As you can see below, G's looks a lot better than mine, but the taste is spot on for both!

Cheers!

Forgot to mention: the egg white omelet is only 1.5 to 2 WW points, depending on how much of the Boca "meat" you put in!
