White Bean Salad


3 Serving

This is a very easy bean salad you can make the night before and take to work, or serve as a side dish.

Ingredients:
1 can white beans, like cannelini
1 tbsp red pepper, chopped fine
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped fine
1/4 cup tomato, diced
1 tbsp red onion, chopped fine
1 tsp quality extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp herb and spice blend

Instructions:
Drain the canned beans and rinse well in a strainer. Make sure you've drained all the rinse water. Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl, whisking the oil and vinegar together first. Add the beans. Experiment with different types of canned beans and different chopped vegetables to add.

[Vladis]

This is a great recipe. I made this last night and it was great. DH ate some raw and was just as thrilled. I had some leftovers tonight for dinner and it tasted just as good.

This recipe is from The Whole Foods Market Cookbook (love it!!!)

4 cups broccoli florets
2 med red peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
2 med green peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
1/8 cup olive oil
1/8 cup tamari
2 tsp dried Italian herbs
1/4 tsp ground pepper
pinch of salt
1 whole garlic, cloves separated and peeled
1 TBSP olive oil
4 plum tomatoes, quartered

Preheat oven to 400F.
Steam broccoli 2 min then chill in a bowl of ice water for another 2 min. Drain and dry on paper towels.

In a large bowl, place broccoli, red & green peppers, onion, olive oil, tamari, Italian herbs, pepper & salt. Toss to combine.

Place veggies in a baking pan and roast for 8-10 min until broccoli is tender yet firm.

In the meantime, toss garlic cloves with oil and roast them separately for 10 min (just on a separate rack) until golden and tender. Add tomato quarters to the broccoli pan and roast for additional 4 minutes until tomatoes begin to soften. Remove the veggies from the oven. Add roasted garlic and toss lightly.

Enjoy!!!

[McSurf]

I am really having trouble with knowing when I can drink the low carb milk (found it in the recipe section). I miss milk more than anything else and would love to be able to use it/substitute it for something, but don't want to mess up the "plan". Thanks.

Blessings,
Cindi

[McSurf]

Oh, I'm on the 4th week.

[kelley17]

Hi Cindi - Milk is for Carb Up days only - REMEMBER this is not a LOW Carb diet - Milk is too high in sugars to use on the plan for baseline and carb down days. Enjoy your milk on your carb up days.

Vladis - your meals look pretty good to me - my suggestion is to send Wendy an email and give her these menus, with your exercise and water intake and maybe she will see something. Sorry I'm not much help, but she may see something that I'm completely missing.

(no exercise today)

you are pretty close to goal so that may be one reason it is moving slowly. Are you a muscular person? You may have to adjust your thinking too - What size do you wear? Are you already lean? I'm 5'2 and muscular - if I get under 115 I look sick (lose from my face and look gaunt) I'm shooting for 125 but everyone around me keeps telling me I don't need to lose another 20 lbs - 10 maybe. Nice to hear but also weird I've got 125 stuck in my head! Do you know what I mean jelly bean?

[level10mom]

I'm looking for some shake ideas that don't have coffee in them. I don't care for cold coffee drinks.
I drank the orange crystal light protein shake for breakfast yesterday. By the time 10 am rolled around, I was starving. I even added a little oil to it because my shake mix contains no fat.
Are there any other ideas for shake flavors that you can share w/me. The eggs for breakfast routine is getting tiring. Can't wait to have some oatmeal.
Who'd ever guess that I'd get excited about oatmeal?
I did make shrimp scampi for dinner last night. I added fresh baby spinach along w/my broccoli. I was in heaven!

Trish - here are some of my favorites for the chocolate shakes:

add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of any of the following:
peppermint extract
almond extract
orange extract
raspberry extract
banana extract

MY FAVORITE to add to vanilla shakes
1/4 -1/2 tsp of rum extract
sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon - OOOOHHHHH SOOOO GOOOD!

[level10mom]

Thanks for the shake advice!

I've noticed the Atkins premade shakes at Target. They came in their own container and were ready to go. Are these allowed and are they on program? Just trying to make this way of life as easy as possible.

Thanks again!

Trisha - Yep I use them almost daily. They are the best especially when that sweet tooth hits.

Thanks for all of your advice, Kelley. There are some gray areas w/the program and it's nice to have someone to bounce questions off of. Now I know where to come for my questions.
