YUMMY Brushetta Bread!

Remember... its all about TASTE!!!

One other tip... when you eat your meals, sit at the kitchen/dining room table... and remember this... THE HOUSE IS NOT ON FIRE!!! LOL!! Take your time! enjoy each bite, taste the food, let your mouth BE the first part of the digestive process cause that IS its job!!

BRUSHETTA BREAD


6-7 Fresh Plum Tomatoes
1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil *dark bottle*
¼ Tsp Salt
½ Spanish Onion Chopped
2 Tbsp Dried Basil or 2 Sprigs Fresh Chopped Fine
2 Cloves of Fresh Garlic Minced
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder

Prepare the evening before or the morning of having it for an evening meal, the seasonings need time to savor!

Wash and Chop the Plum tomatoes, Onion, Basil, Garlic Powder and Fresh Garlic. Store in an Air Tight container in the Refrigerator.

1 Cup is approximately 40 Calories.

SERVING IDEAS…

If you use Cheeses, Feta is wonderful, measure/weigh your serving so it is about 30-40 Calories (which is about 10g of Cheese), add it to your bread choice, spoon on the Brushetta and broil for about 3-5 minutes, until the edges of the bread begins to brown.

You can use a Healthy Small sized Flat Bread (Flax/Whole Wheat/Ancient Grains.. NOT WHITE) by baking in the oven before putting the brushetta on the bread and baking with cheese*

You can also use the small sized, Pita Pocket style Flat bread approx. 110 Calories for one piece. Use it whole, pre-bake it first as well, that way it holds up and doesn't get soggy either. 1/2 a Pita Bread is a serving with the Brushetta.

You can also use any “Healthy Bread” by the slice, baking first. Healthy Choices: Ezekiel, Pumpernickel, Rye etc… ONE SLICE only.

If you have it with Cheese, use only 10g of grated cheese so that the total caloric intake will be UNDER 120 Calories! OR you can cut it in half and share it! so its only 60 Calories! ♥

ENJOY!


This is a small Flax Seed flat bread with 30g of skim milk Cheddar and 1/2 cup of Brushetta mix.
