One word. AWESOME.
Forget noodles. Even the whole wheat ones can't provide you as much energy, fiber and protein as chickpeas. They are the great imitators, as they assimilate to what ever seasoning that you coat them with. I will post in a day or so a sweet treat using chickpeas. Until then, we have this soup. It's the basics of a chicken noodle. Chicken, celery, carrots, onion, spices and some left over broccoli in a chicken stock. I paired it with bagel thin sandwich to make a combo. My soup will cost you about 4 points, that's one hearty 4 points. I had a bagel thin "burger" with the soup. The thin is 3pts and I used a Black Bean Burger patty. These things are awesome. They are 3pts a piece.
Breakfast was simple. Oats & coffee with sugar -4 .
I went to the store today and picked up some scallops. I know we will be having shrimp and scallops. I chose to make a scampi, using rotini noodles, its a little high in points with the noodles but it tasted great. The recipe came to 11 points per serving. 8 oz rotini noodles, 16 scallops, 16 shrimp, 2c spinach, 1T garlic, 1/2 white cooking wine, old bay, salt and pepper to taste. Saute shrimp and scallops in 1T butter, about half way through add garlic, spinach, wine and remainder of butter, cook about another 6 minutes or until seafood is done. Toss in cooked noodles and serve. I served this with a cranberry jimica salad tossed in basalmic vinegar with a dash of chili powder.
I also need to find a decent dessert. I am a lover of all things sweet so stay tuned to see if I find something easy and yummy to make.
