It's Trendy Tuesday...Do You Dare?

I double dog DARE you! Here's a TREND~For the rest of the week (Tuesday-Saturday) I challenge you to rid yourself of a food related indulgence you enjoy. For example, the soda you "only" drink on Wednesday's at the park, the cookies you bought for "school" lunches :D, your Starbucks obsession, the butter on your toast in the morning or that little 9PM snack attack. Whatever your downfall may be, I challenge you to test your own will power and prove to yourself how strong you really are! Why? Because I KNOW you can do it! What's my indulgence? Juice in the morning. Just a little itty bitty glass of juice. What has helped me to overcome the guilty juice drinking? EASY!~I just don't buy it.

Today's Recipe:

Chicken Caesar Salad~What?? A healthy caesar?
Dressing (suggestion-double this-just don't double drizzle it on your salad!)
6T. light mayonnaise
3 T. fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 T. water
1 1/2 t. anchovy paste (I know, probably not in your cupboard!)
3 large garlic cloves minced
1 t. dried oregano
1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
Directions: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl stirring with whisk.

Salad
Grilled chicken-Tip: baste with a little with dressing!
1 (10 oz) package of romaine salad
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
1/4 c grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Black Pepper Garlic Flatbread
2 garlic cloves minces
1 T minced fresh oregano
1 1/2 t coarsely ground black pepper
1 can refrigerated pizza crust dough
cooking spray
Directions: Combine first four ingredients in bowl, unroll dough, coat with cooking spray and sprinkle with garlic mixture. Bake according to package directions.

Don't kid yourself princesses. Ordering a caesar "salad" from a restaurant is like ordering a Big Mac, fries and a milkshake...supersized!

Tip: ALWAYS ask for the dressing on the side and pass on the croutons! Hard as a rock bread really isn't that great anyway!:D

Good Luck with your new TREND for the week!
