Meal Plan Monday #18

Sharing is caring!

How on Earth is it Monday already?  Didn’t I just post a Meal Plan Monday post?  I mean come on.  Why does Monday have to come around every week?  OK enough moaning and groaning.  It’s time to talk about meal planning.

The recipe that I reviewed last week was Sweet Potato and Black Bean Casserole.  I had to make quite a few modifications to the recipe because I can’t have garlic, or tomatoes, or spicy stuff.  I suppose in that sense I ended up taking out a lot of the flavor from the recipe, but sometimes that’s just the way it goes.  Still I did enjoy the recipe.  I wish I had cooked my sweet potato a little more before cutting it up and putting it in the casserole though.  I was afraid it would get to mushy to cut, but it ended up being a little undercooked in the end.  Not bad, I could eat it fine, but that would have made it a little better.  What I loved about this recipe was that it was very filling while being really low in calories.  I did use my low cal corn shells which made a difference, but still.  It’s so rare to find something that tastes good, fills you up, and yet is still low in calories.  That’s a big win in my book!
