Week 2 recap

Week 2 on program  is done, and the pounds are melting off! Ryan is down 18, and im down 8. I expect to be halfway to my target by mid week, so I'm going to reward myself with a H&M shopping trip (you have to celebrate the successes!!). We've had a lot of fun playing around with different Lean and Green recipes this week, and I posted my favorite below. I also picked up the book "sneaky chef" to start making more healthy options for my son, and we've had a lot of fun with that! I posted his favorite of the week down below as well.

Cauliflower pizza

Crust:
1/4 cup Egg Beaters (1/8 Lean)
3/8 cup skim shredded Mozz or Mexican 4 cheese variety for a harder crust (3/8 lean)
1 cup Fresh Cauliflower chopped up in food processor (2 greens) *steam it first *

 Mrs. Dash italian seasoning to taste

Mix together and put into a sprayed (make sure you spray well!) foil pie pan.  Pat down so it all sticks together.

Bake 15-20 min at 450 till it starts to turn brown then flip it over and bake another 10 minutes.

Top with
2 tsp sugar free Pasta sauce ( 2 condiments)
1/2 cup low fat shredded Mozzarella cheese (1/2 lean)
1/2 cup of veggie (1 green)

Place it under the broiler just till the cheese melts

I tweeked the recipie a little and added a little Morningstar farms sausage crumbles, and less cheese  for my "lean" portion.. So scrumptious!! Totally satisfied my carb craving and 100% lean and green approved :)

Our goal also is to teach our son healthy habits for life, so I tried out a "sneaky chef" pizza recipie which has sweet potatos, carrots and white beans-And he loved it! (If you would like the whole recipie, I will email it to you, I guarentee your kids will love it as well!)

Who knew pizza could be so healthy (and good)!?!?

My favorite meal replacement of the week was a "neapolitan" shake! SOOO YUMMY!

1 packet strawberry shake

1 packet chocolate pudding

4 pumps sugar free vanilla syrup

 Ice

8-10oz of water

Blend and enjoy! Makes 2 meal replacement shakes. Ryan and I have these at night as a sweet treat :)
