I got to thinking about yummy Italian food and then it hit me, why not make a crustless Chicken Calzone. Pound the chicken breast, put mozzarella and turkey pepperoni in it, saute in a pan till golden, add lowfat, low sodium  spaghetti sauce, and let simmer for a few minutes. I'd accompany with a simple green salad (org baby red leaf and grape tomatoes spritzed with balsamic vinegar) and brown rice pasta.

OK, be honest. Does that idea sound good or gross? I've learned my lesson on making OBM that I can barely get down... It has to be good to start with or I'm in for a rough day!  |
Haha, you're so right about a bad meal makes for a long day.
I think today might be my day for that. I made a berry protein loaf and it's really good but I'm not sure it's enough to keep me full.
I think that recipe sounds good though.
I can't wait to try some of these other recipes!
I'm craving sushi! Anyone else? I was thinking about eating sushi all day long as my OBM. I just think it's so hard to really be sure you're not overeating. And of course it would be expensive. Any suggestions?
I was also looking for a good filling pizza recipe! I think that would be fun. None of the recipes I have found would be very filling though. Maybe I should save pizza for day 16.
Hope everyone is having a nice Saturday!
