(phyllo dough)
The awesome thing about phyllo dough is you can do so many things. And it is low in fat and one huge sheet is only 6 carbs. With one sheet you can fold it in half and make many things. Instead of bread you could make mini chicken pot pie, mini lasagna, mini taco salad, or go vegetarian .These are just to name a few things. I just lightly spray a muffin tin and make little phyollo cups.
They make wonderful fruit filled cups also for dessert.
Such as a mini blue berry cobbler. We came up with this so Patience doesn’t feel totally deprived.
In this photo we have made two phyllo shells and filled with tuna salad. Yes they look huge but in real life they are muffin tin size..lol only 6 carbs for the dough when a whole wheat bun is 24 carbs. We still serve the whole wheat bun but phyllo dough is a really awesome option. And Patience feels like she is getting a treat. This works because Patience continues to have loose fitting clothes.
And the scales is going down as she growing taller.
So “cheat” a little. - its ok. ;)
