Today, I opened one of my new cook books - Hungry Girl and decided to make a recipe from within. I already had some ground turkey thawed so I decided to make sloppy joes, steamed broccoli and baked onion rings.
Hungry Girl's recipe used Fiber One cereal as the breading for the onion rings. This really freaked me out. So, I went online and found a recipe that used bread crumbs. Overall, the rings were only 169 calories a serving! Admittedly, the batter was pretty bland, but I have some ideas for next time.
Also, today is National Ice Cream Cone Day! So, Kevin and I went to McDonald's for a cone (only 150 calories and 3.5 grams of fat). Woot!
What a good food day!

What's the recipe for the sloppy joes? I think that's something Andy and I could eat together.
ReplyDeleteI had a packet of sloppy joe seasoning in my cabinet - I just used that. Higher in sodium than homemade, but super easy. The packets can be bought on what I call the "gravy packet aisle" of the grocery store. Add a can of tomato paste and you are good.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, Hungry Girl has a recipe for "Sloppy Janes": http://www.hungry-girl.com/chew/chewdetails.php?isid=1564
They are a bit too much work to me because sloppy joes are a quick easy meal in my world. But if you try them out, let me know if they are worth it!
