We are on VLCD#2. I had a one pound loss this morning. Here is a recipe for the dinner that we made tonight.
Lasagna.
1 can hunts fire roasted diced tomatoes, drained
Half a can of tomato paste
Half a can of tomato sauce
1 medium onion
Fresh parsley
Diced garlic
Tsp or more Thyme & oregano
Powdered stevia ( just a very light sprinkle)
Broth (beef) just to sautee. Or use a Demi glace cube
Lean beef or chicken or I used turkey
Pepper flakes
Zucchini will act as the noodles.
Cook together dry herbs, onion, parsley, salt/pepper, pepper flakes, tomatoes, tomato sauces and meat together. Simmer very low til meat is done. As it cooks, mash down the tomatoes a bit. I Lightly add a sprinkle of powdered stevia.
Simmer this to reduce out excess liquid on low heat.
While this is cooking/simmering start on the noodles. Cut zucchini or summer squash into long slices, I took off the skin too. Bake till slightly cooked, topped with salt, paprika and garlic.
Get a small baking pan, and add a little sauce to the bottom. Then layer zucchini, sauce, Zuccini and so on. Top with garlic Melba crumbles and bake about 30 minutes.
This makes alot: 1 can tomato and 1 Zuccini alone are 100 cals. Beef adds 160 or so. So this is excellent to make and have 2 meals out of it.
