Skinny Beef Lo Mien

Ingredients
- 8 oz of whole wheat spaghetti
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 2 beef bullion cubes
- 3 tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 tbsp. brown sugar

- 1/2 chopped onion
- 1 tbsp. chopped garlic

4-3 servings..... again.... depending on the other person eating.... nudge nudge....



Make your spaghetti like normal and when finished toss in your sesame oil.

Boil your 1/2 cup water in the microwave and throw the bullion cubes, brown sugar, and soy sauce once you have microwaved for 2 min. Zap for another 30 seconds if it's chunky.


Cook your onions, garlic and carrots in a big sauce pan or a wok while you steam your broccoli.

Remove all from heat and put your beef in the pan with 1/3 of your sauce. Sear until almost done.

Add back all of your veggies and toss for about a minute.

Add your noodles and another 1/3 of the sauce.

Serve with green onions on top for garnish and deliciousness......

Pour sauce over your noodles if you need more flavor!

Skinny Chicken Parm

I forgot to take process pictures!!!!!
But here's the recipe!

4 servings.... or 2 and a half if you have a very hungry fiance....

Ingredients
- 4 large chicken tenderloins
- 3/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- smart balance olive oil spray
- 3/4 cup mozzarella
- 1 cup tomato sauce
     - 1 can sauce
     - 1 can paste
     - 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
     - 1 tbsp. garlic
- 2 Zucchini
Preheat your oven to 400 deg F

Mix your breadcrumbs with all of your parm cheese.

Coat your chicken with the breadcrumbs and put onto a sprayed backing sheet

Cook for 20 minutes.

While that is cooking put all of your ingredients for the sauce into a pot and simmer.

Also use your Veggini!!! to make zucchini pasta. If you don't have one, use a peeler or just cut pasta shaped pieces with a knife.

Take your chicken out, spray the pan and flip the pieces. Cook for 5 more minutes.

Take your chicken out and put 2 tbsp. of sauce on each piece and cover with mozzarella.

Put that back in the oven for about 3 minutes to melt the cheese.

Layer your "pasta" some sauce, and then a piece of chicken on your plate and enjoy!
