I don’t know about you but I tend to get into a pattern of “safe and good” foods that I enjoy when I am eating right. I have some low-calorie “go to’s that I enjoy and fill me up so I eat them…. often.
For instance, Boca Burgers. No, no! Don’t run the other way! Yes it is true their vegie burger does taste like cardboard – HOWEVER the Flame Grilled, Cheeseburger, and Mozzarella Mushroom (my fav) are wonderful! Right around 100 calories, 4.5 fat, and 4 fiber. I enjoy it with a slice of fat-free cheese (usually about 25 calories), load it up with vegies, and serve it on a Village Hearth Wheat bun.
This brand of bread has truly been a life saver. The buns (or two slices of their bread) is 80 calories. 1 fat, 7 fiber… and it is DELICIOUS!
Seriously, if you have not tried the Boca burgers (and again – do not judge it by the vegie or the vegan…. gross… really) I encourage you to do so. I can find them in the Health Food section of my grocery store for around $4.89 for a 4 pack, but the best price I have found is as Wal-Mart at $2.88. That, with a can of sliced green beans on the side easily is dinner.
On Wednesdays, I want this to be a place where we can share ideas like this or recipes that are not only tasty, but good for you. I will provide a linky below so you can either make your own post and link it here, or leave yours in the comment section below.
Here is mine for today.
My friend Amy and I went on a 50 mile bike ride in July in St Joseph Minnesota. The temperature had to be in the high 90’s and the humidity was over 100. I was still in an arm cast but wanted to do the ride, so we went. I think it was the first time ever that I waited in line to use an outhouse only to get some tissue to wipe the sweat off me. Seriously, it felt better to be moving on the bike then it did to stop at the pit stops.
After the ride we were both a sweaty mess but HUNGRY. We stopped at a little diner in ST Joseph and after looking through a menu of pizza, burgers, calzones, etc… our eyes landed on a seafood salad. We asked to see it – hoping it wasnt smothered in a mayo based sauce and it wasn’t, it was actually yummy looking.
This salad was perfectly delicious. My friend Amy is awesome at picking out flavors in foods and we quickly jotted down a recipe that matched theirs and I have made it several times at home.

What I used:
a base layer of Romaine lettuce
1/2 sliced medium tomato layered on top
3 or 4 thin slices of onion on top of lettuce and tomato
For the seafood mix:
1 package of imitation seafood legs chopped into bite size and put in bowl
Chopped fresh cilantro to taste (I love Cilantro and I use about 1/4 cup)
lite Mayo (not Miracle Whip) I used an olive oil version (see pic) 45 calories per tablespoon – I only put enough on to coat, on a whole package of seafood, about 6 tablespoons (or about 1 tablespoon per serving)
dill to taste *** this is the secret ingredient!
salt and pepper
Mix the seafood and seasonings together with the mayo and then put a generous dollop on top of the lettuce onion tomato plates. Refreshing and delicious!
