Great Tacos from Bueno Foods and Great Ricotta from Salvatore Brooklyn

Sunday breakfast I would have pancakes, or french toast or something terribly sweet and yummy..still I have all those clothes in the closet that my tummy won't get into..soo I made a sweet egg white omelette. Using the basic recipe I filled it with a small amount..tablespoon..of Salvatore Brooklyn Ricotta cheese and sugerless plum jam...use your own jams without sugar..Then I folded it over in the plate and dipped a fork into the honey jar..let some fall back in and quickly drizzled a tiny amount over the top surface..I sprinkled it with a few almond slices which stick nicely to the honey..II love this omelette because it is sweet but not a diet breaker.

Since yesterday I did no exercise today I need to re-commit and stay with my program..I went to yoga after breakfast, loosened up a bit. After lunch I will head off to the treadmill for 30 minutes of cardio..a short intense workout..bringing my ipod so the time goes pleasantly. no need to suffer..I will listen to Bridet Blucher..caribbean gospel.

Lunch was leftovers..a bean taco..this time with lots of chopped cilantro and lettuce, avocado fat free sour cream salsa fresh jalapeno..take a look at the basic recipe..you can alter to suit just keep in mind calories fat and salt..mine was delightful fast and filling

In Manhattan Salvatore Brooklyn Ricotta ..a spendid artisanal ricotta is only sold at the Essex Street Market. It is one of my "treat" foods..lusciously rich it has 40 calories and 3 grams of fat per ounce..If I carefully stay beneath one ounce I can have some ever few days and still be eating low fat low calories..

The organic stone ground low fat corn tortilla I am using is also available at the Essex Street Market. It is made by Buenatural..www.buenofoods.com its delicious since 3 are only 140 calories. Using one is just 46 calories! the fat content for 3 tortillas is 2 grams so again it is a good choice.
