Roasted Eggplant Parmesan is only 70 calories per delicious slice!

2012-01-17T13:03:00.001-05:00

This morning on KLG & Hoda: low-cal craving busters. Roasted Eggplant Parmesan is only 70 calories per delicious slice!

To prepare, slice an eggplant into rounds and place on a baking sheet. Mist rounds on both sides with olive oil spray, and lightly sprinkle with kosher salt. Roast in oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Then, top each roasted eggplant slice with marinara sauce, shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, some grated parmesan cheese, oregano, and crushed red pepper. Pop back in the oven for about 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly. So, so good!

Club-Chomping

Some clubhouses have a no-boys-allowed rule, but we welcome all people -- it's extra calories and excess fat grams that we choose to keep out. This recipe is welcome ANYTIME. We think you'll agree...

Ingredients:

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup chopped bell pepper

2 tsp. fat-free ranch dressing

1/8 tsp. hot sauce

1/2 oz. mashed avocado (about 1 tbsp.)

Dash each chili powder, ground cumin, and garlic powder

1 medium-large high-fiber flour tortilla with 110 calories or less (like the kind by La Tortilla Factory)

1/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese

2 oz. cooked and chopped skinless chicken breast

1 tbsp. precooked real crumbled bacon (like the kind by Oscar Mayer)

Optional: fat-free sour cream, salsa

Directions:

Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion and pepper until softened, 3 - 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix ranch dressing with hot sauce

In another small bowl, mix avocado with chili powder, ground cumin, and garlic powder.

Lay tortilla flat and spread avocado mixture on one half of the upward-facing side. Evenly top avocado with 2 tablespoons cheese, followed by the chicken, bacon, and cooked veggies. Top with ranch mixture and remaining 2 tablespoons cheese.

If needed, clean skillet. Re-spray skillet and return to medium-high heat. Place the half-loaded tortilla flat in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes. Fold the bare half of the tortilla over the filling with a spatula and press down lightly to seal. Carefully flip and cook until crispy, about 3 minutes.

Slice into wedges, and if you like, serve or top with sour cream and salsa!

I found quite a few items that you can get for $30, so any of these necklaces for example, would be FREE for new members. Even for existing Savemore members, a Sterling Silver necklace for $7 is an amazing deal! These would also make a fabulous gift (although I’m kind leaning towards keeping this one for me).

You also have the option of getting a $130 voucher for $30 (or $20 for new members). I have a sneaking feeling that this one is going to sell out, so you may want to grab it fast. You can check it out HERE.

Intro box contain $60 worth of products, for just $5 shipped!

2011-10-11T20:38:00.000-04:00

If you’re a fan of Birchbox or would like to spoil yourself this month (and for many months to come?!), then you may want to check out Julep Maven. As a Julep Maven, you’ll have access to the hottest trends in nail color and the latest Mani Care and Pedi Care products – delivered right to your doorstep.

Here’s how it works…

* Head over here and take the Julep Maven Style Quiz (this should just take a few minutes). This quiz enables Julep Maven to determine which style of magazine editor you most resemble and in turn, Julep will choose the Sneak Peek Box that contains personally selected products that best compliment your look.

* Every Sneak Peek Box will feature over $40 worth of NEW, never released, trendy polish colors and cutting edge treatments. Your box will also include hits and cult favorites. However, your first intro box will contain $60 worth of products. And here’s the best part, enter the promo code INTRO5 during checkout and you’ll snag this intro box for just $5 shipped!

* Keep in mind that by signing up for this intro box, you are signing up to receive boxes on a monthly basis from Julep Maven (after this first month’s box is sent for just $5, your monthly cost will be $19.99 for $40 worth of products). You will be notified by email on the 20th of the month with a preview of the products they’ve customized for your next month’s beauty editor Box. If you are not interested in receiving that month’s box, you can opt to either skip the month (just login to ‘My Account’ by midnight PST on the 25th of the month and select “Skip the Month”) or you can choose to send your beauty editor Sneak Peek Box as a gift to a girlfriend, sister, coworker, or anyone you would like (just login to ‘My Account’ by midnight PST on the 25th of the month and select “Send My Box to a Girlfriend”).

* Julep Maven will bill your credit card on the 27th of the month and your Sneak Peek Box will be shipped that same day. You’ll need to allow 7-10 days for your box to arrive.

* If, for whatever reason, you do not want to continue to be a Julep Maven, you can cancel your membership, free of charge by calling one of the Maven Experience agents at 877.651.3292 Monday – Friday 9am-5pm PST.

I love the fact that you can cancel at anytime… after I receive the Intro Box, I am going to determine whether I am interested in continuing to pay for the monthly boxes. If not, I’ll just pick up the phone and cancel my membership.

Another added perk is the Julep Referral Program, which rewards you with a $15 Julep.com gift certificate when friends sign up to become a Julep Maven through your exclusive link.

*** IMPORTANT**: Please keep in mind that I just signed up to receive my Intro Box so it has not yet arrived at my house. For this reason, I cannot personally vouch for the quality of the items that are sent in this box. However, I thought that this was worth posting now as I am not sure how long the promo code INTRO5 will be available. If you are a current Julep Maven member, I would love for you to share your feedback in the comments below. Thanks!
