Ok, I confess, I have already made my pita sandwiches twice this week, and it's only Tuesday. I'm stuck in a tasty rut of what my mom used to call "New York Good-wiches." I find that name cumbersome so I'll just call them pitas, but my goodness they're good. They fill me up with out feeling heavy and they fill my desire for something hot on these chilly days. I don't know the exact calories on these, but since they're basically vegetables, I'm not too worried. I know the two pitas (whole wheat and made with flax) are 160 calories beyond that, I'm not too sure. So, here's the recipe. I know it sounds crazy, but don't knock it till you've tried it!
Saute 1/4 c. onions in a bit of olive oil, while steaming 1/2c. or so of California blend vegetables. Toast two pita halves then spread with a thin layer of mayo. When onions are cooked as desired (I like mine almost burnt) stir in a T. or less of bbq sauce. Divide ingredients between two pita pockets in whatever order, but including all of the following: raw red cabbage, dill pickles, CA veggies, onion and bbq mix.
I know, I know...it's sounds crazy, but it's sooooo good.
maybe i will make scott try those. :-) i did make a black bean and corn stew the other day off that cheap healthy good site, and he loves it, surprisingly enough. but i did add a package of ground beef to it to make it more of a meat-eater-guy thing. along with the soup i made some of my southern biscuits, which turned out perfect with some of the orange blossom honey that scott's brother jay gave me.
ReplyDeleteOh, that sounds good,can I have that recipe? Or maybe I'll just go find it. And what is special to make them southern biscuits? You should have Scott try these, Mike likes them as a side. I eat two for a whole meal.
