Wanna Be Greek Salad?

Shelly (Eggface) posted a recipe recently that included tuna, garbanzo beans, celery, and feta. I had already eaten tuna twice this week so I made this recipe with chicken instead. It was amazing! Bones even enjoyed the sample taste I shared with him.

I added just a drop of Greek salad dressing instead of lemon zest. I also cut the recipe in half because I'm still eating super small portions. I'm looking forward to eating the leftovers this week.

Here's what my tiny portion included....

Chicken, diced very small (I only used about 1/4 of a small chicken breast)

Garbanzo beans (I used about 20-25 garbanzo beans/chick peas)

Celery, diced fine (I used maybe 1/4 of 1 piece)

Feta, just a small sprinkling (I used about 1/2 Tbsp.)

Greek Dressing, just a splash (I used about 1/2 teaspoon)

salt to taste

pepper to taste

Mix well and enjoy!

For dessert I enjoyed about 1/4 of a small banana. Mmm...

Italian Baked Ricotta

Tonight I made my hubby, Bones, a couple of mini pizza's out of some leftover Arnold Multigrain Sandwich Thins. I separated the top and bottom of the sandwich thins and spread marina sauce over them. I then added some shredded mozzarella, garlic, Italian seasoning, and turkey pepperoni. I baked them at 350 for 10 minutes. They were a hit!

I also felt like having some Italian so I made Shelly's Baked Ricotta. I made a couple of changes by leaving out the parmesan (I didn't have any) and by throwing in a few small pieces of freshly baked shredded chicken. It was absolutely amazing! Where she gets her recipe ideas is beyond me, but I hope she keeps 'em coming. I appreciate them so much. Thanks, Shelly!!!

Saved by Vitamins!

FedEx delivered a much needed package tonight. My vitamins arrived!

I've decided to try out the renewal program at Bariatric Advantage. With the renewal program I get free shipping and don't have to remember putting in my order. How convenient!

I ordered the VitaBand Chewable Multivitamin in watermelon flavor. It doesn't taste like watermelon at all if you ask me, but I still think it's better than the lemon or mixed berry. In fact, I think I would describe these vitamins the same way Shelly describes protein powders......"they taste like monkey's ass!"

I ordered a ton of the chewable calcium in chocolate flavor. Those taste like dessert. They are delicious so just make sure to remember that they are vitamins.

I'll be expecting another shipment in 90 days.
