Yum!

Good Morning,

After a very productive 2 days I am back down to 317 pounds! I drank a ton of water and made myself some delicious treats that were low calorie. Here is one of my favorites!



This is zucchini and tomatoes. You can add chicken or shrimp to it or eat it over spaghetti squash or pasta. I chose to throw it in a bowl and devour the whole thing.

What you'll need:
2 tomatoes
1 zucchini
1 tsp garlic minced, garlic powder or adobe
Pinch of salt
Pinch of crushed red pepper (only if you like spicy)
Pinch of  pepper 

Take the 2 tomatoes and dice them and set aside. Cut the zucchini into thick slices and quarter the slices. Throw the tomatoes (seeds and skins too) into a heated skillet. Let them cook for a few seconds and then lower your flame to a medium heat. Throw the zucchini in, mix and then add garlic and spices. You need to keep stirring so the mixture so the tomatoes won't stick. (You can add some olive oil to the pan before starting but I didn't want the added fat.) Put the flame on simmer and put a lid over the skillet so everything can kind of stew together. Cook until the zucchini is at a desired texture. I like my zucchini a bit snappy so I don't cook it for too long. Enjoy!

Calorie count:
2 tomatoes- 44 calories
Approximately 1 cup of zucchini - 60 calories
Garlic 5 calories
This very filling sauce/side/snack is only 109 calories!!!!
