I love the eggplant parmesan and eggplant lasagna! If you like eggplant you will love these, because they add something different to the diet rather than fish, chicken, salad, blah blah blah lol
Eggplant parmesan
Peel an eggplant and slice into 1/4 inch slices
dip in eggwhites and then in lowfat parmesan cheese and garlic powder (mixed together)
bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy
cover with marinara (I use the low sugar Prego brand) and bake a little longer to warm sauce
Eggplant lasagna (this takes a little longer to make but is worth it cuz you have meals for the week once you do it)
Slice the eggplant the same way and bake on a cookie sheet for 5 minutes
spray bottom of baking dish with pam
mix 1 container of FF cottage cheese with two eggs (yolks and all) and pepper
cook ground turkey in marinara sauce (season how you like..I add onion, bell pepper and garlic to mine)
put meat/sauce mixture as bottom layer in the baking dish
eggplant slices are the next layer
put a layer of fresh spinach
cottage cheese mixture next and top with LF parmesan cheese
repeat layers
cover and bake for 45-1 hour
This is yummy and very filling!
Sausage and pasta (cycle 3)
Get turkey or chicken sausage links (I love the Johnsonville spicy chicken sausage), slice it up and brown in olive oil in a big pan
add whatever veggies you like...the more the better because they work as "fillers". I use mushrooms, bell pepper, onion and zucchini. Brown sausage and veggies together.
Add 2 cans diced tomatoes (I like the Italian style)
simmer together
serve over any whole grain pasta
top with LF parmesan if you like
