So, today I had my first attempt at the Flatbread/Pancake that is one of the Matol proteins. Unfortunately, I was sadly disappointed with my attempt. I baked them in small pie pans like the recipe called for, but they honestly tasted like dough. There was no flavor, and no enjoyment on my end. I was really hoping this would be my substitute for bread, but I currently have no intention at ever making these again.
It was suggested to me that perhaps they would be good with seasoning and veggies. Now I'm on a hunt for recipes to improve this food. I also have yet to try it as a pancake, so I'm only 50% disappointed so far. Either way, I shoveled it down - I had no intention at breaking my diet because of this!
My evening posed my greatest challenge yet. It was my first shift at the restaurant I work at since the beginning of this diet. As a sports bar labelled, "King of Wings and Ribs", there are a million and one items on the menu that do NOT fit the diet. I love the food at my work, probably because half of it is deep fried. Either way, I had to stay away from it and order food that catered to the program. I had a Chicken Chef Salad, with a few modifications.
I had the mushrooms and onions sauteed on the grill (with water, no oil) and had them remove the carrot and cabbage shreds from the garnish. I also left a few diced tomatoes in the mix, as I am allowed to have them onceor twice a week. The chicken (5 oz.) was not marinated, just naturally grilled. I brought my salad dressing from home, and I have to say it was tasty. It wasn't wings, but I survived!
