Muffins + Magazine Meals

Mmmmmmmuffin

IMG_2240 (1024x768)

Matt brought this low-fat whole wheat blueberry muffin home and I took the opportunity to incorporate it into a snack 😉

IMG_2242 (1024x768)

1/2 cup TJ’s Euro yogurt with about 1/4 of the muffin and some almonds. Consumed around 5:00 – just late enough to spoil my dinner appetite! Guf! I’ve got to find a way around doing this everyday.

IMG_2241 (1024x768)

Two hours later, dinner was served. Tonight’s recipe came from this month’s SHAPE Magazine: Ricotta-Stuffed Eggplant Rolls with a Red Pepper Sauce. I had hoped to link over to the recipe, but SHAPE is not up to speed!! I highly recommend this recipe, so either go buy a magazine or sit tight until they post it

:mrgreen: this !
I also sipped on a little of this as we cooked dinner!

IMG_2250 (1024x768)

Our version had:

  • 1 large eggplant
  • 3/4 cup ricotta
  • 3 cups sauteed spinach
  • Roasted red peppers from a jar
  • Tomato Sauce
  • Feta (we added this to thicken the sauge)
  • Mozzarella (I definitely recommend adding this!)
  • Herbs
  • Spices

IMG_2243 (1024x768)

All rolled up! This was delicious, but I wish I could have tasted the ricotta a little bit more. Maybe next time I’d use a cottage cheese + ricotta blend? Or add some melted mozzarella to the innards? I served my two rolls over a bed of slightly wilted spinach. I actually prefer the taste of baby spinach. I bought this pre-washed bag of regular at HT but I think baby has less of a fishy taste and would use that next time too.

IMG_2247 (1024x768)

Served with a half slice of crusty wheat sourdough –

IMG_2248 (1024x768)

IMG_2244 (1024x768)

After dinner I pulled this Hello Dolly out of the freezer. I think it was the best thing I’ve put in my mouth all week. Gahahahahh!

    mmm, your muffin snack looks delicious. that blue bowl perfectly complements the blue berries 🙂

    (and i agree — a ricotta + cottage cheese blend would probably intensify the cheese flavor/tang just enough!)

    Kath, I think your doing a good job trying to eat intuitively and listen to your body. I know snacking with meals and stuff can be hard and all, but your trial and error will def. pay off when you find that perfect balance!

    For what it’s worth, I was talking to my nutritionist about that problem too – snacking too much before dinner. She suggested adding more protein earlier in the day, both at lunch and breakfast, to avoid getting so hungry before dinner….and also I’m trying to move my workout up earlier in the day so I can get dinner ready sooner. I’m not sure either is working yet, but that was her idea for me.

    I was wondering about that Shape recipe! Considered making it but made the puttanesca from that same article instead. Glad to see that someone else has tried the eggplant recipe and enjoyed! I might have to try too…

    As an aside, if your spinach tastes fishy I don’t think you should eat it…..

    Kath,
    I made these this week as well, inspired by the magazine. I swapped out the ricotta for fat free cottage cheese completely, and it was good.
