I just had a really lovely summer meal!
In the US we have a store called Trader Joe's. In the freezer section, there is a French tart that looks like a frozen pizza. Its topped with caramelized onions, ham, gruyere and creme fraiche (all sparingly). There are 4 servings at 140 calories per serving. It cooks in 8-10 minutes at 450 and it's delish! I always make it on a pizza stone, btw.
So I set up a salad bar by the kitchen scale and put a big bowl on the scale. We had shredded carrots, red onion, tomato, cucumber, red bell pepper, low fat feta cheese and low-calorie balsamic vinaigrette.
I made myself a lovely 180 calorie salad using lots of good things, including 2 oz of the lowfat feta. And I had a slice and a half of the tart. I'm stuffed for 390 calories!
Hubby and I agreed we'd like this again on hot evenings.
