New Diet: Week Four

Final week on Hungry Girl. Next month I will be using a cook book called The Complete Low Fat Cookbook which I have had for the longest time but never used it.

Here are the Hungry Girl-inspired recipes I will be using this week.

Breakfast: Oatmeal Parfait
In this, I used packets of instant oatmeal instead of the plain oatmeal because I already had it and figured I should use that up. So I didn't use the spices or vanilla extract. I did use the almond milk and splenda. It came out great! I did not add strawberries or yogurt either. Instead, I ate a banana afterwards. It was satisfying.


Lunch: Sesame Chicken on White Rice
I have not eaten this yet but I can't wait! The recipe called for unsweetened syrup, wheat flour, scallion, chicken broth, and sesame seeds but the sauce still came out tasty. I used the lite butter syrup instead because, again, I had it already and didn't want to buy a whole new thing just for this. I also used vegetable broth instead and that was for the sauce as well. I used regular flour instead of whole wheat since I had a ton of it. So I basically had every other ingredient to make it good. I added 1 cup of cooked rice to the meal and it looks like it will be filling.



Dinner: Meatless Burrito
I was going to make the sesame chicken for dinner and something else for lunch but realized that I didn't have any more ingredients to do it so instead I will be making this since I had the ingredients:

Snack: Movie Night
In this recipe, I had everything except the tootsie rolls. So I doubled up on the kettle corn popcorn.



Snack: Hot Cocoa
I have cocoa and I have marshmallows. Good, simple nighttime snack.
